“Paulette is awesome. She connected instantly with my two happy but high maintenance German shepherds, and I could see their positive response to her straightaway. Very professional and highly recommended!”


“Bill is an exceptional dog walker! He took such amazing care of my Cooper. First, he was so accommodating and flexible by walking my Cooper for 1.5 hours every day when no other dog walker offered more than 1-hour walks. Second, he sent me daily pictures of their walks, taking Cooper to parks and his favorite local spots, sending me a daily rover report card. If that wasn't enough, Bill had a procedure on his hand one day, and he still showed up for his walk with Cooper. I was okay with him skipping one day, but his response was "I'm committed to walking Cooper." I was beyond impressed, and I knew what an animal lover Bill is. Most importantly, Cooper absolutely adored him. He wouldn't even get out of bed until he arrived. Seeing their pictures together made me a little jealous, but I was so happy to see how happy he made my Cooper. Bill is a true animal lover and has a huge heart which was very important to me. I didn't want someone to just come and walk my dog. I wanted someone who would be a loving companion for Cooper, and he definitely was loved by Cooper. I highly recommend Bill for all of your animal care needs. I'm sure my Cooper misses him too. Thank you, Bill for taking such exceptional care of my family. You make such a positive difference with what you do!”



“Lauren was great. We were in a pinch and needed a walker for a week and she graciously helped us out. She communicated clearly and was great with our dog. We will be using her again in the future!”


“Torie has been a great addition and support for our animal family. We have a fearful dog that takes time to build a relationship with. She has been patient, kind, compassionate, and well informed on how to interact with our dog, and our cats too.”


“Cammi is great with my Zusha! She’s sensitive to her needs - she takes care to help Zusha mind her injured tendon and has been very responsible about not exposing Zusha to the recent extreme heat. She give Zusha the attention and enrichment she needs and has been very communicative with me. I highly recommend you trust your beloved pets’ care to Cammi!”


About: I am a huge dog lover. I have experience with both large and small dogs. My dog who passed away, a 15-year-old senior Silky Terrier, had dementia, deafness, and other health issues, so I understand the special care senior dogs require. I also have experience caring for energetic puppies and can adapt to dogs of all ages and needs. I am a recent college graduate and am currently working as a substitute teacher. My schedule is very flexible on the days I work as long as your pet needs are communicated to me. I make sure every pet I care for receives plenty of love, attention, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s engaging playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship and comfort, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize their well-being, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.


About: This is very easy, I love dogs. All animals really, but I have a soft spot for dogs. I grew up with dogs in the house, but now that I havea small apartment unfortunately I can not own one myself. Id be more than happy to come play, feed, walk and love on your pup. I can take care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. A little about me now. Im 36 years old with some college under my belt. I grew up in the metro detroit area so I know my way around pretty well. I hope that you choose me to take care of your dog, you wont be let down. Thank You very much! I am currently between jobs so I can make anything work with enough notice and communication. Wether it's coming and letting out or feeding I can make it happen I live in an apartment by myself so if I am boarding it's just spending quality time with the animal and taking them for walks. If I'm at the owners home then I would definitely love to go in the backyard and play rather than sit in side.

“Aixa was wonderful and so sweet and patient with our dog - he absolutely loved her! It was great to know my dog was well taken care of during his walks. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”



About: There is no amount of words that I can use to describe my passion for our four legged furry friends. Each one of us chooses a dog based off of our characteristics.I love seeing the human-dog relationship. My dog Scout is now 8 and a rescued pure bred mutt! She is one of a kind. Dogs bring out my passion, they are such smart creatures. It is a blessing the Lord created them because I can not imagine a world without our precious friends in our lives. My love for dogs started when I was six, my grandma had a beautiful collie named Shadow, but I was his shadow: I followed him absolutely everywhere. I remember each christmas I would fall asleep with him under the christmas tree. Having to put him down was honestly the hardest and most saddening events that I can remember. They work their way into our hearts and families. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs from the smallest pomeranian to Chief the great dane! They do get quite pampered care with me I have to say. The owners I work with have all loved the care and passion I put into taking individual care of each other pets. Its like taking care of a child. No child is the same. You have to love and treat them each in their own special way to make them feel at home and protected. Every animal deserves the utmost care! I take pride in being able to say I truly love to make every dogs day a pampered one! I currently am working part time in my evenings as a caregiver for two young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities. So my day schedule is pretty open. Thursdays I work 10 to 7 but can work in a break in the day for your dog and then just feed before or after work. My dog scout is a princess, not overly fond of sharing her space, but that comes from her past as a rescue. So I am willing to care for your pup in their home environment. Helping them feel safe and loved when owners are away.

About: 13 years with my Shih Tzu taught me that pets feel energy. I bring gentle peace and deep care treating your baby like soulful family. I’m currently on medical leave from work so between running personal errands and doctors appointments, I have nothing but time to give your pets attention. Due to landlord restrictions and a small apartment, I can’t host pets—but I’m happy to travel and provide loving, peaceful care right in your pet’s home.

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m a huge dog lover through and through. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and there’s nothing that brings me more joy than spending time with them—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just cuddling on the couch. I have a dog of my own named Kygo, who is my best buddy and constant companion. He’s full of personality and keeps me smiling every day! I treat every dog I care for like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and well taken care of while you’re away. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to walk your dog! I’m available on weekdays and some weekends. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family! I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable from the moment they walk through the door. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots to relax and space to play. I follow their routines closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or bedtime rituals—so they feel right at home. I’m all about giving lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve pet-sat numerous times in the US and abroad and had a dog of my own for 15 years who I gave a very full and satisfying life to. His vet said I was among the best pet parents she had ever worked with :) I love to walk a lot (at least 10K steps a day) enjoy just hanging out and keeping the dogs company while I watch TV (which I do a lot of since I work in entertainment). I miss having a dog of my own so pet sitting and walking fill that void for me and I love it so much. I'm very responsible and my car has leather seats which is great for transporting dogs if I need to. I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I split time mostly between my place in the Detroit Metro area and Los Angeles. Since I make my own schedule I have plenty of time to spend time with your fur babies. I also love to walk as much as I can. My condo is on the ground floor with a sliding door for easy access to the patio and grass. I also have experience giving medicine and making sure your pet is comfortable.

About: I have had dogs in my home since I was a child, as well as lovable cats, all well trained and treated like family. I take pride in providing love and attention to your pets to ensure they are at ease while you're away. As a pet parent myself I know how imperative it is for us to know our pets are safe and all their needs are met. I diligently follow care instructions and provide frequent updates for you to feel as confident in my services as possible. I am also happy to share photos during my time with your baby, because who doesn't love a camera roll full of adorable pets?! I am a teacher which means I am available for an early morning drop-in and then am home around 4 each day just in time for a good afternoon walk. Open on the weekends, as well as most holidays! I typically take my dog on a walk each day and if your dog is friendly we could all go together, or I can take them separately if that makes you more comfortable. I am a homeowner and if in your home I will treat it and your animal with the same level of respect I would want given to me and mine.

Candice H.
“Candice is an amazing dog sitter! She has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog, Max (a very playful Shih Tzu). Max absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time he sees her, which says a lot about how well she treats him. She has cared for Max several times, including while we were away on vacation, and we always felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Not only did she take him on regular walks, but she also went above and beyond by buying him toys and food when needed. What stood out to me was how she treated Max like he was her own. Candice is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Max and our family are so grateful to have her as our dog sitter!”


Rachel C.
“Rachel loves dogs more than anyone I know. She and I own a dog together and Rachel always makes sure that Stella gets everything she needs. Whether it is constantly buying Stella new toys or taking Stella for her daily walk, Stella gets pampered. She treats all dogs this way. She volunteers to watch her sister's dog when her sister goes out of town and treats him the same way. If Rachel is your dog sitter, rest assured your dog will be in good hands.”




Erin B.Star Sitter

“Erin is the best!!! Mila was very happy with her walk.”


Ramya B.
