House Sitting in East China

About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life. They definitely play an important part of my existance. I live in an area that has lots of room for a dog to get exercise. I spend much of my time outside with my pets near my side. It is important to me that any pet I am taking care of knows that they are very special to me. Your pet will become as fond of me as they are of their owners. I have spent times watching dogs and cats in their homes. I make sure that they are not missing their masters by spending extra time playing and walking them during my visits, whether it is a day visit or weekend visit. I just love our fur pals. I only work part time. My husband is home until 1:00 p.m. and I generally work only until 2:00 p.m. But that is only from May until October. Your dog will have someone around 90% of the day. I have a large yard. It is not fenced in but I keep my visiting pets on a leash at all times. They will be close by to me at all times.

“Great with our big dog. Took him on walks and played outside with him! Even in cold and rainy weather!! 😊”

“Kailey was great with the girls and was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She went above and beyond when we really needed her. The girls loved her and remembered her from a prior visit”

“Bonnie is amazing. She took extra special care of our fur baby and our home. She went above and beyond. She sent pictures and texts assuring us that all was well. We would highly recommend Bonnie! We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Lauren is amazing with my dogs. They love her and she takes great care of them when I travel. She’s sat for my two dogs twice now. One of them is a small grumpy dog and the other is a large hyper dog. She expertly handles them both!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 2 big dogs and 6 cats at my home. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and sometimes I come over just to see their fur babies. I love going on walks with dogs but also snuggling up on the couch with my babies. I currently have a 8am-4pm job but it’s with family so they are very flexible if I need to leave and come back during the day. I’m currently enrolled in college online perusing a degree in marketing as well. I’m a very gentle person and I have a lot of respect for animals space. I don’t like to rush or make them feel threatened by me. I often however, hit it off very well with pets and love to play with them! I have tons of acres at my home so my dogs like to run free or on a leash if needed.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and am now the designated pet sitter for my family and friends. Care I have provided includes the following: Dog walking...and running if your pup is up for it! I know some great trails in the area I think your pup will enjoy as much as I do. LOTS of playtime! I'm happy to take your dog to the local dog park, but if they're not social with other pups or you prefer to keep them closer to home, I appreciate a good workout running around the backyard with them and throwing endless rounds of balls or frisbees. Potty breaks: as you'll see in the schedule section, I work remotely and am happy to stop in whenever to let your pets out, take them for a walk, run them around the yard, or fill a dinner bowl. Feeding: just let me know their meal schedule and treat allowance. I've cared for dogs with allergies before so no problem if your pet has a sensitive stomach. Medication Administration: from eye drops for kitties to wrapping pills in pieces of salami for finicky pups Litterbox cleaning Bathing: I sat for the most rambunctious and fluffiest white pup during the rainiest week of April eight years ago. Every bath time since has felt like a breeze! Cuddles: your pets will be well-loved while in my care! They'll receive lots of pets and smooches. If they prefer a more distant companion, just let me know and I'll give them their space. Please reach out with any questions or concerns! I understand it can be hard to trust the care of our furry family members to others. It's important to me to care for them the way you would yourself. I work remotely full-time and am available for in-house visits and walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your family and pet's needs as necessary. At this time, no pets currently live in my home. I have a large unfenced backyard. When outdoors, your pet will always be leashed or unleashed per your instructions. I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and near trails that are great for walks. In your home, I will operate around your pet's schedule and environment. I'll ask thorough questions before caring for your pet which will include knowing your preference regarding outdoor time, feeding, bathing, litterbox cleaning or poop scooping, and the location of leashes, treats, cleaning supplies, etc.

About: I have had dogs & cats my whole life. I am passionate about animals! I have experience with dog training, animal handling, administering medication or just quality time. I plan on having pet sitting replace my current job! It is something I have always been passionate about so why not! I can enjoy going to this job! We currently have three dogs. They our part of our family. We do not have a fence so they’re always with me when they go outside.

“Matthew has excellent communication and cute videos. All needs of my pet (and my desire to know what my pet was up to) were met.”

About: I have years of experience with pets through fostering, facility-based care, and in-home services! I have cared for pets of all ages, from newborn to senior pets. I always make sure to update owners with photos, videos, and updates to show how their pets are doing! Pet care is my full-time job. I am available for services Monday-Sunday and am available from morning until night. I build my schedule to be as open and available as possible to comply with your pets' needs! I carefully follow instructions left by clients and do my best to maintain pets' daily routines. I ensure that any questions or concerns are addressed with the client to maintain pets' comfort and safety.

“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”

Valerie H.

“We are SO GLAD that we met Molly. She instantly bonded with our two dogs. We hired her to stay with them while we were out of town recently. Everything went really well. It was such a relief not having to worry about our pups. We will be hiring her again for our next trip and we highly recommend her.”

“Melissa was absolutely amazing, this is the first time that I have ever left my little guy home with a sitter and she was absolutely amazing with him. She followed directions to a tee when it came to his meds and getting to know him I already have her booked for next Saturday. My little guy is my life and my heart and she took care of him like I would, she asked questions and she did absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Melissa for anybody who has fear, anxiety or stress over leaving their pets. Melissa gets five stars for me because she is a pet star in my book.”

About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.

About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was little, I used to take care of puppies when my grandfather would breed them. Eventually I got my own dog and have cared for him ever since we got him back in 2020. I also take care of my grandfather's two dogs while he's at work. I'm able to have dogs around the house or drive to a location whether it's letting out and feeding the dogs or just taking them for a walk, taking them for a few hours while the owner is out. I'm free all week and weekends, I will always let someone know if I'm not available. I have a dog pen outside for my pet, I also have a lead to attach to a harness. In my car I have a dog car seat that hooks onto a harness, though it's for smaller dogs. I have one mini dachshund he's very friendly and loves making new dog friends.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. Growing up, I cared for all kinds of pets, with a household of dogs, parrots, aquarium fish, and bunnies. Because of this, I learned the ins and outs of pet care from a young age. I had the privilege of caring for my dog for 15 years until he recently passed. Being with him from puppyhood through his senior years gave me experience with every stage of life, from energetic walks and playtime to the patience and gentleness older pets require. Because of this, I am looking to continue spreading puppy love until I am able to adopt one of my own! I recently moved back home after graduating college, and I am actively applying to jobs- so I am very flexible and available when it comes to scheduling! I have one other dog in the home. She is a very friendly German shorthair pointer dog, who loves to cuddle up or play at any moment! I have a couple acres of yard, and a pond (that I can keep your pet out of if desired!) I am able to board pets inside, or in a kennel outside- I’m here to meet your preferences!

About: I’ve taken care of my family pats ever since I was young, always had dogs and cats, I love all of my pets and spending time with them, can’t wait to meet yours and all of their quirks!! I’m only busy one day a week right now, which is Sunday's. Obviously there are days that I’m busy with friends or family or babysitting, something along those lines :) I can’t bring any pets to my home, my pets are shy lol, but of course any special feeding requirements or any special requirements in general, I love to play, keeps me entertained to :)

“Kayla was great! Super responsive and on top of everything. My frenchie took to her right away. Will definitely rebook!”

“Manfred is anxious in new situations and was spending a week away from home. Luke provided incredible understanding and care, keeping me fully updated. By end of stay Manfred had found a home away from home. 100% recommend Luke as a dog sitter.”
