“We love Colin! He takes such amazing care of my puppy Vincent and my dad said he is always so impressed at how patient and kind he is even when the puppy attitude comes out. Thank you Colin!”

About: I’ve taken care of furry and not so furry friends my whole life. I’ve never had day where I didn’t walk my dog or have the best cuddles with my furry friends . I’m currently working full time but my job is very unique as in I only work two days a week leaving plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I have a very loving home with plenty of pets. I’ve had pets my whole life and they are a joy to my world. My kitty really only gets along with dogs which is very interesting and my dog well he’s an old fella and he’s not big on new furry friends so new introduction’s is not on the table for my furry friends but I would love to give some love to your furry and not so furry friends .
“Sarah was paws-itively wonderful with Crumbl! She was kind, communicative, and sent the cutest updates. I definitely recommend her and Crumbl looks forward to more adventures ahead”

About: I keep a lovely woodland home where I welcome your friendly beast to play whilst you're away. I am highly sensitive to the emotional needs of animals so, I will use my gentle hand and kind eyes to comfort them in your absence. -We have wooded trails to explore on leash. -Your fit beast will have access to mountain climbs. -Your water loving dog will be walked to a pond. -Your cat will be given their own room, complete with a litter box and a window-side cat tower. -We have an on-site pet washing station. I have experience with the rehabilitation of animals, from emotional rehabilitation (rescues) to medical rehabilitation (surgeries etc). I am comfortable changing bandages, administering medication, and feeding through tubes. Senior dogs are my heart. ♥️ I can be helpful with the preparation of dog food and have experience with feeding a raw diet to both cats and dogs.
About: I have been pet sitting for many years now. Started out as helping out family and friends in high school and college and has evolved to much more over the years. I also have 8 years of experience owning my own dogs. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, lizards, and turtles. I am comfortable with transporting pets to vet or grooming appointments, bathing, brushing, and brushing teeth for dogs, feeding, giving topical and oral medication, walking, playing, picking up after, cleaning litter boxes. I am genuinely happiest when I am with animals so getting to spend time with your fur babies would be my absolute pleasure! I will treat your pets as my own while they are in my care and I will always make sure they are kept happy and safe. I work a 9-5 Monday - Friday with a hybrid schedule. I typically work from home Wednesday and Fridays. I am available for daycare bookings on my WFH days, overnight bookings any time and walks/drop-ins in the evenings & weekends. For overnight bookings during the week, on my in-office days, my brother is available to check in on the pups at home and give them mid-day bathroom breaks and some company. I have a new fence being put in for the yard at the moment and in the meantime, I have extra long leashes so the pups can still safely explore and get some exercise in the yard. I have 2 pups of my own to keep your pet(s) company and have lots of playtime with. I have plenty of space throughout the house to keep dogs separated while I am not home and have pet cameras to keep my eye on them! I also have 2 large crates and 1 small crate if needed. I prefer to sit for dogs that are crate trained to ensure extra safety but this can be discussed during the meet and greet! My 65lb male dog does not always enjoy other males that are larger than himself in the house but we can still have a meet and greet to check, with this in mind! I always suggest sending your dog for an overnight stay with their doggy bed/favorite blanket and a favorite toy to make them the most comfortable!
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and dogs specifically. I would always offer to walk the dogs in my neighborhood, and have spent many weekends looking after family’s pets when they’re away. I have my own fur baby now, and I love building connections and taking care of any animals as if they were my own. I’m currently a college student, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings. I’m free during the weekends to spend lots of time with your precious pet! My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet. I want to take care of them just like you would, so I’m open to any instructions or suggestions!
About: All my life I’ve been a huge fan of dogs of any size or breed! I have dog sat for friends and family in past and they’ve all said I’m one of the only people they trust with their pets. I am currently looking for another job. Just came back from Florida so I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment to make sure your pet is never alone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pets would never feel alone and they would have my undivided attention to make sure they got the care they need and the friend they want.
“Sarah has been AMAZING with my big boy Great Dane. She was so great with his walks we actually ended up booking her for house sitting with Chip while we were on vacation. She took him on a fun little trip almost daily and I could tell he got a lot of TLC while we were gone. She was very clean and respectful of my home as well. She is now my go to person for any care I need for my doggo!”


About: I am a personal trainer and have a golden retriever who I love. We love to run/walk in the woods daily. I would love to hang out with other dogs like I do my own and get them moving. I can tire a dog out pretty quickly and I’m sure they will have a great time. I’m home a lot in the middle of the day and have small windows of time that I can give to visiting and walking dogs. I’m 29 years old and soon to be married to a lovely fiancé who is a teacher. She is a dog lover as well and on summer vacations and weekends I’m sure she’s going to want to help me. I’m excited to meet your dogs! I have all day availability and weekends as well. Scheduling and timing is flexible. I have a golden who can come with me or he can stay back. I would love to be around more dogs! I have a fenced in yard. Typically I take my dog for at least two good walks a day. Off leash and in the woods is my preferred way.
About: I provide calm, attentive pet care rooted in real-life, hands-on experience. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for over 15 years, from playful, energetic pets to seniors who need extra patience and support. I personally cared for my own elderly dog who was paralyzed from the waist down, handling daily needs such as diaper changes and mobility-related care. That experience taught me the importance of consistency, gentleness, and truly understanding a pet’s comfort. I currently own cats and am experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, brushing, nail trimming (when pets are comfortable), and administering medications — including pills and liquid medication via syringe. I’m playful and engaging, but I also know when to be firm to keep pets safe and well-behaved. I also have experience crating dogs and maintaining calm, structured environments. I’ve owned ferrets as well, giving me experience with smaller animals and unique care needs. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a part-time job with shifts that typically end by 2 p.m., and I only work a few days a week. Since my schedule is released weekly and varies, I’m often very flexible and have plenty of availability to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. This allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, check-ins, and special care without feeling rushed, so pets always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I make sure to ask questions ahead of time and learn where everything is so I can care for your pet confidently without disrupting their space. I respect boundaries and never use or do anything without permission. By caring for pets in their own home — where they feel safest — I’m able to follow their normal routines, use familiar items, and help minimize stress, always treating both your home and your pet with care and respect.
About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.
About: Been in love with animals since I was younger, have 2 dogs, fish of my own. Take daily walks, baths, play and more. I help watch family and friends dogs a lot when they go out of town or out for awhile often. I am currently working part-time 4 hours 5 days a week, available betwwen 1 & 2pm for walks, drop-ins & boarding. Also weekends available can do overnight stays @your home to house/dog watch. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs of my own both crate trained, with extra crates, have beds at home with tons of dog toys. I also have 2 children but are in school during the day.

Beanie loves Emily 😭😭 she is amazing! Very reliable even with the crazy Michigan weather and the evening hours that are scheduled. Walks beanie as much as he can handle (which I love that she listens to what he needs!!), then will pet him for the rest of the time which he LOVES. He’s always very tired out after Emily comes.
Brian has been great with Barney and our family. Barney is a particular type of dog that needs someone who understands his personality. This Brian has done. He also has been available on short notice and keep all his appointments and has been great at communicating his future availability. As well he is very pleasant to work with. Thanks Brian!
