House Sitting in East China

“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 always tell people that "Life is better with dogs" - and if you are reading my profile then you probably agree. I have had the privilege of having two dogs over the years and helping friends look after their own pets when they need an assist - being a pet owner can be a challenge! I advocate for lots of play time with dogs but also to give space and to respect the boundaries that have been established. Keeping your pet to their routine as much as possible is a priority, whether it is walk or feeding time. Notes about booking: - If you would like an extended walk or visit with your dog (beyond 30 minutes) then please let me know and we can either do a custom rate or book 2x back-to-back walks - Bookings that are further than two months out may be marked as tentative - but do reach out - I always do a meet and greet before taking on a new dog I have recently relocated from the UK back to Metro Detroit, my hometown. I am not currently looking to be a pawrent myself, so I am looking to have some local pets to bond with while also being helpful to their owners and making some income on the side. I am a freelancer in media/tech by trade, so my availability is flexible. My approach when caring for someone else's dog is to first meet the dog to make sure there is a bond. When it comes time for a walk or visit, it is important for me to know any basic rules or training requirements. While I don't train dogs as part of my service, I am happy to support any initiatives that you may have, whether it is to reduce the amount your dog pulls on the leash or taking that next step towards learning how to shake.

“Elena asked if her husband could stay over with her and we were happy to have them both. They were so amazing with Mordi. They stayed at our house for four nights, sent us pictures every morning without asking, and updates all throughout the day so we could see how he was doing. They were so responsive. Never had any kind of issue. Very happy to have had them there and would be very happy to have them come again. Absolutely recommend them. Thank you!! ?”

“I highly recommend Joshua to anyone. He took very good care of my two fur babies. He cleaned up after them. One of my babies is just 7 months ,but he managed to keep up with her. I loved that he sent pictures of them and kept in contact throughout the days. My babies were very happy to have him there. Will definitely be having him watch them again! ?”

About: Hello, Im 18 years old, and just recently graduated hugh school. I am looking for a fun way to make money before I leave for college! Ive grown up taking care of dogs, and been around dogs since I was born. Ive always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks and watching them whenever needed. I cannot watch the dogs at my house, because my own dog isn’t friendly to other dogs, but i would be willing to come to you and dog sit/watch your dog whenever I am available to do so! I work in the mornings, but I am willing to get up early to let the dog out, and after work I would love to walk dogs! I also love working out, so taking your dog for a walk/run will fit perfectly with my schedule. I have a dog of my own, and I love teaching her new tricks and just taking care of her. If your dog doesn’t know very many tricks I would be willing to teach them simple things like sit and shake. I am available to walk your dogs as well!

“Molly is amazing! She is accommodating, kind and trustworthy. My four labradoodles loved her! I received regular pictures of my pets while I was away. Molly will be my go to person for all future business trips and vacations. Molly, you are the best!!!!!”

About: Hi there! I have had animals at home my whole 30 years of life! From cats to dogs to rabbits & chickens! I have been professionally watching peoples pets for the last 4 years. I did attend a vet tech program in 2018. I have experience with puppies, all the way to senior care. I am comfortable and experienced at administering meds as well! I am a stay at home mom to a school aged boy. I am home pretty much all day every day. Making my availability extremely flexible. All pets will be at the main floor of our home, we do have a basement. We are not fenced in but are completely surrounded by woods on our 5 acres of land! Most of the dogs I watch will be put on a leash outside unless I am told they won't run away! Also, will crate if that is what they are used to!

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.

“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!”

About: I have two small dogs Sora and Kira. 11 years old and 12 years old who are friendly, loving , and spoiled girls. With a good balance of snackos and exercises to maintain proper body composition and not get too fat. Clean healthy water and food is so very important for your pets health and we go above and beyond to ensure the best for our pets and yours. I treat every animal as if it is our family member and make it as fun for them as possible. I currently own multiple businesses in Sarnia and have the luxury of working from home now, which gives me the opportunity to serve our community with more hours. I don’t have a traditional job and I can work remotely from my cell phone most of the time. We treat all animals with respect and courtesy, following the outline in which you lay out for care. I don’t smoke and being healthy is important for vitality and life for myself and all of our pets. We never want an animal to go without necessary care that they are accustomed to.

About: A house isn’t a home without love. We will be sure to make our house feel just like home for your pet while you are away. We work out of our home. Our family is present and available to be there for your pet in every capacity throughout the day in order to provide care, love, and support. We work out of our home which ensures that someone will always be available and near to spend ample time indoor and outdoors with your pet.

About: I have been animal sitting since I was 16 years old. I have always grown up with animals in my household. I love all types of dog breeds, and i personally own two Pit-Bulls. I have dog sat dogs with medical issues and food aggression as well. I am currently working part time at a campground, so i have plenty of time to play with your pets. My work season is about to be over so I will have plenty of free time. I am also currently a college student, going to school two days a week. I always make sure to follow the owners rules to a tee. When letting dogs out, I always go out with them just to make sure that they are staying in the yard.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, gaining responsibility and accountability for their needs and making sure they are in a loved home. I’ve also have watched other friends, family and roommates pets as well. I have a little one of my own that I’ve bonded with for 4 years!! I’m in the process of switching jobs so I should have open availability for the whole week! When my new job takes place I should have a better idea but I’m open all week for now! My apartment is pet friendly, I’m not far from a dog park and love to go on trails so your furry friend will be able to get the exercise they need! I pay extra attention to their emotional and physical needs to make sure they are taken care of!

About: With two larger dogs of my own, I have 4 years of experience taking care of furry friends fulltime! Worked with puppies to senior pets. I am an educator so during the school year I am available after 3pm on work days and on weekends and from June- end of August, I am pretty wide open! I have 3 acre lot for your pet to roam around on and play with my supervision, along with two other dogs to play with ( but can easily be separate if needed). We have a barn for bath time and couches to cuddle on inside!

About: I love to walk and jog with dogs. They actually motivate me!! I even love to snuggle dogs or cats if they would like! Animals are good for the soul! I am pretty flexible with my schedule and what care I can offer you and your fur babies. I live in Marine City. I work Monday- Friday till about 4pm, so any thing after that and weekends I'm available! I can administer medication also if needed. If you are on vacation, I can send you all kinds of pictures so you don't miss them as much! We can even do a video chat so you know they are being cared for. Thank you for your time! Any time after 4 during the week and anytime on the weekends and your home or mine!! Let’s see what we are able to work out!! I have 2 small friendly and loving chihuahuas. We do have a few leashes outside, I also have 1 cat indoors, she keeps to her self.

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup. My dog, Josie, has bad skin allergies and terrible anxiety. She hates to see me leave, some times not even getting a drink or eating until I am back. I know it can be so hard to leave a pet, especially when you know they miss you so much, but I hope I can be the easement for both your baby and you that they will be safe and okay! I would love to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe with me and take care of them just the way they need. I am totally willing to give any medications or things needed to keep your baby healthy, please let me know any way I can help make your life and your pets life easier! :) If you are looking for any specific care, let me know and I’ll see if I can help. I do not work Mondays and typically have free time Tuesday as well. I could work something out permanently with you or just help out when needed. I am also a waitress, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work around your needs. :) I will ensure to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. My dog personally has dealt with anxiety her whole life, especially separation anxiety, so I know it can be difficult to leave a pet with a new person. I can and will follow any instructions as that you give me or leave out for me to follow. I want to make the process as easy as I can for you. I can send updates all throughout the day with pictures, messages, or even a call. I want to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and feel at ease when I come to help! Whether your baby just needs someone to let them out and play or a long tiring walk, I am here to help! :)

“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”
