“I highly recommend Victoria and Rishi. My dog is 15 years old and needs some extra care. A few days before our trip, he went to the vet for a routine check. The vet called us later when we were out of town and said that our dog had a urinary tract infection and needed an antibiotic. Victoria was happy to go get his medicine from our vet and start giving it to him while we were gone without missing a beat. He came home relaxed, well rested, and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Love Fay, what a wonderful dog sitter, I’d trust Fay with my kids if I had any small children anymore. Fay was very caring, sent me photos around the clock of my dog’s activities which included long walks, napping, making friends with Fay’s dog. It was nice my dog Bao had a friend for a while in her care. I’d rebook with Fay in a heartbeat. Wonderful person.”
“We love Cari so much, this is our 4th time using her! You truly can’t find anyone more patient, loving, and caring than Cari, and we are so grateful to have her watch our dogs while we are away! She is so understanding of their quirks and is always happy to help with whatever they might need. Thanks for everything, Cari!”
“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”

About: We have a large fenced in back yard, we have a loving friendly dog that loves to play and enjoys long walks. Centrally located in Lansing area. I currently retired with flexible schedule. Have been dog sitting for five years in the summer for six weeks and love the experience so much! I have a fenced back yard and walk our dog 2-3 miles daily. We have had as many as 3 dogs at a time and currently only have one. Would love to share our dogs home with another.
