“Jamie was excellent!! I have never used a pet sitting app before but Jamie made me feel so comfortable and I could tell from the meet and greet that my cat really liked her! She was so thorough with all of the check-ins and let me know how he was eating, drinking and using the litter box. She also took so many photos and videos and it was so nice seeing how my cat was doing while I was away. Thank you so much!!”


“Lori dropped in to care for my cat for a long weekend. She did a great job, I really appreciated the detailed descriptions on my cat’s mood each day and the pictures.”


“Haley did an amazing job watching our two cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very kind, reliable, and responsive, and sent us multiple pictures while we were away. We came home to happy kitties and will definitely book with her again!”


“Denni is amazing. They took great care of my cats and dog while I was away. Even my grouchy kitty warmed up eventually, and they handled a potential issue calmly and with extensive care towards my critters.”


“Justin does great with my dog Rayla! Takes her on a walk every time I have required his assistance with my work schedule. Rayla is just as happy and i come home to a happy and a little tuckered out from her adventures. Couldn't ask for a better more convenient service from Justin! Highly recommend him if you need someone to help out with your pup!”


About: Certified therapy dog handler! Experienced with all types of dogs from all backgrounds as an owner of 2 with extensive foster experience. A dogs best friend for humans best friend. I work full-time but 40% from home. Weeknights and weekends are best for dog care. My wife works 40% remote and has extensive foster experience as well. If needed during the week dogs would be crated during 8-5 and let out every few hours for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. A puppy (1 year and an adult (3 years). Our dogs are part of the family and are allowed on the furniture. Our dogs are rescues and the 3 yr. old graduated therapy dog training in the Spring 2025. The puppy has a great big bother to learn from!

About: I used this app heavily in college and have a lot of experience with walking, boarding, and having them at my apartment! I don’t currently have any animals but everyone in my family does :) I have a full time job 8am-5pm Monday through Friday so I am available either before or after! It also is mostly remote so I am pretty flexible I live in an apartment currently. There is a small dog park which I love taking the dogs to! Also, love going on walks. If I am at your home I am pretty flexible with whatever is needed.

About: I have cared for up to 4 dogs in one home with ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I would love to discuss your individual pet’s needs to make this a great experience for you and them! As a medical student, I am always in need of a study buddy. I love to stay active and am happy to go for long walks or, if your pet prefers, cuddle on the couch! I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs in the safety and comfort of your home. Please tell me about their normal routine and I will be sure to meet their every need.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life but really started taking care of them when I was about 5. Throughout my childhood I had 6 dogs, all of different breeds and sizes. I frequently dog sit for my boss when he goes home (from out of state) or on vacation. I also have experience with cats, turtles, ferrets, rabbits, and possums. I’m normally able to walk/stop in to visit after works hours during the week (5:30pm). I have a lot of availability on the weekends, when I’d be able to stay overnight or have dogs stay overnight. I do live in an apartment complex with lots of friendly neighbors and their dogs! There are great walking paths throughout my whole complex so there would be no issues going on long walks! I’m all for snuggling on the furniture, as I want your babies to feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. My apartment complex has a a lot of trails to walk pets. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.

About: I have experience in working in a vet clinic and on a local farm of large animals. I have been trained to minister care for all cats/dogs of all breeds/sizes. If your pet has any health issues such as diabetes or has hit senior years, no worries! New puppy paws running around? Glad to be of assistance to help them learn better manners and play til the nap! I am a full time Veterinary Nursing clinical student at Michigan State University! My schedule is a typical “8-5” job internship and have an 1 hr break during that time. I am very flexible and can provide care for your pets around my schedule. I’m free on the weekends as well. Since I am not able to keep your pets in my home due to space, I will treat your home with all respect. If you have places and boundaries that are set, they will be followed accordingly. If your pet or myself makes a mess, it will be cleaned up immediately! I have a pet cleaner machine and products to get pet stains out in a jiffy!


“Nate came over a couple of days to let our dog out for a bit of exercise while we were at work. He was punctual and Harris seemed to enjoy it. I’d hire him again! Thanks!”

I also love to hangout with little dogs too as I currently have a shorkie.

About: I have a Russian blue and a Siberian husky. I love cats and dogs and have taken care of them since 11 years old 🫶🏾 I’m a full time student but when I’m free i would love to hang out with some of our little best friends and make some change while doing so. For me, safety is always first. Professionalism and etiquette will always be maintained and going above and beyond what I’m obligated to do is never an issue when considering the wellbeing of others and or pets.

We have an extremely odd schedue and Kaitlin is always happy to drop by when we need her. Rookie adores her, and we do too! We feel so lucky to have her help as we raise our wild boy.
