“Mary Kay is awesome! She came by for a quick meet and greet beforehand. On drop in day, everything went smoothly. She sent me pictures and a detailed message about what her and my puppy did during the drop in. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Thanks Mary Kay!”


“Leila was a fantastic cat sitter for us. It’s difficult to leave a pet for three weeks but having Leila gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to more fully enjoy our time away. We returned to very happy and very healthy senior cat. I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.”


“I ended up needing someone to let my dog out on short notice and Julia was super accommodating. The pictures and check in updates gave me peace of mind. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave my dog.”


“Jason was really sweet with my dog. She isn't the easiest dog and he was able to make her comfortable. He also took her on walks and showed up when he said he would. I appreciated the photo updates as well. Will definitely rebook with him!”


“Erica was very responsive, stayed on schedule, and sent lots of updates which made me feel very comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands. Definitely recommend!”

“Halee was great! She let me know when she was heading over and how Apollo was doing/how he did each time she stopped by. She also sent pics of him outside which made me so happy. Would definitely recommend!”


“Audrey was great! She did everything and more and it was great to be able to have someone like Audrey take care of Zooey. Would definitely use again!”


About: Growing up in the country I've always had small and large dogs. I started raising dogs from puppies before I was 10 years old and as a teenager I was able to get some unique experience from taking care of our more senior dogs who had mobility issues and required daily medication. As an adult, I have my big Tarot dog! He is a blue heeler mix with a ton of energy and it's always fun to play with him! I'm currently in graduate school and have meetings in the middle of the day on Monday and Thursday, but other than that I am usually at home with my own cats and dog and have the availability to take care of yours too! I often play with my cats with their string toys and fuzzy pom poms. Shadow (my black and white kitty) has even learned to play fetch with them! For Tarot, he likes to play with the hose in our fenced-in back yard. But his favorite is when we take him for walks in the park near our home! If I were taking care of your pets, I would be just as playful with them and for your dogs, I'd try to mix up the walks they go on so they always get the most enrichment out of their walks :)


About: I take pride in my work as a pet sitter. I have experience and knowledge from taking care of past family members' pets. I am someone you can count on to do the job. I currently work full-time at a credit union (M-F). I get home at around 5:45pm/6pm. I am all focused on taking care of your pet (dog walking, drop in visit, or overnight); your cat or dog is my #1 priority. Thank you for trusting me with your family. Although I don't have any pets myself right now, I do have past experience taking care of pets (per my reviews). I take pride and much joy in taking care of both dogs and cats.


About: I have had multiple dogs growing up my whole life. I always pet sit my family's and friends's pets over vacation or just casual summertime work! I am a well trusted gal who just wants some extra pups to love on! This will help feed my dog obsession until I can adopt some more in the future! I just want to make sure your pets are taken as well of care as my own when you're away! I want you to feel comfortable that your pets are safe and happy with me. You'll be happy you chose me for sure, I know it! I love to run and play, and sometimes just snuggle. I know they need a lot of attention, and I am here to give it to them all they want! I am currently working as a mental health therapist. As I am on the search for my own pet that I'm allowed in my home, I am taking up some some work for pet walking and sitting over the weekends! I am pretty flexible during the week for drop ins and walks. I’m sure we can find something that works for your schedule! I currently do not offer in home pet sitting services as it is not allowed with my current apartment lease agreement. Hopefully in the future I can!

“Brianna was terrific! She took great care of my cats, was very communicative, and took the cutest photos. Would definitely book with her again!”


About: Aloha! I’m Rhea – Your Pup’s Next Favorite Human 🐾 Originally from Hawaii, I now call Detroit home and work full-time with the City. My journey brought me here in 2015 after graduating from the University of San Francisco—and dogs have been a constant part of my life every step of the way. I’ve been dog sitting and caring for pups for over 15 years, but it goes deeper than that—dogs are part of my family. I’m a proud dog mom to a 6.5-year-old fur baby who’s taught me patience, unconditional love, and how to really tune into a dog’s needs. I’ve worked one-on-one with a trainer to better understand canine behavior and body language, so your pup’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Fun fact: I even helped manage construction of Detroit’s new animal shelter—so you could say my love for dogs goes beyond just cuddles and playtime (though I’m great at that too!). Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them like my own—with love, patience, and lots of tail wags. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I’m work Monday- Friday, but I’m available to check on your pups and take them for a walk before or after work. I’m flexible all day Saturday and Sunday. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I take time to understand their personality and read their body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I let the dog approach me at their own pace and always use positive reinforcement to build trust. Whether in my home or yours, your pup will be treated with love, patience, and respect.

About: Hello! My name is Erika and I grew up showing, training, and grooming dogs professionally. I started caring for pets when I was 8 and got my first best friend, Angel - I’ve had a furry friend in my life ever since. Training I’ve done with dogs includes agility, obedience, dock-diving, and professional handling. I also have experience working at a boarding facility with all kinds of breeds and temperaments. I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, reactive dogs, and all those in between. I hope I get the opportunity to meet your best friend :) I have a lot of free time throughout the week for drop-ins or walks! I’m very flexible so I can work with your schedule easily. I have reliable transportation to get to your pet for scheduled drop-ins or walks. I’m very cautious when watching pets to make sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t and have a lot of knowledge on pet safety.

About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.

“Rachel is the greatest! She's done drop-ins for our pups on two separate occasions and always goes above and beyond. She's always on schedule, shows such deep care for our dogs and home, is exceptionally communicative, and is so fantastic to work with all around. You may not be able to find a better dog helper in the world!”

“Came home from a busy work trip to find my cats calm and content! They loved all the play time with Grace and I enjoyed the daily pictures she sent while away from home. Truly appreciate the peace of mind knowing my babies are in safe and cared for in Grace’s care!”



“So thankful to have found Genelle. She has been enormously helpful and flexible with scheduling. I very much look forward to working with her on an ongoing basis.”


“Sam Q was great. She understood complicated directions and fed, watered, and medicated my elderly kitty. Would definitely recommend, and will book again myself with, Sam Q.”


“Amazing service very trust worthy and has your animals feelings up front and at heart Will be re booking in the future! Thank you so much Kenny!!”


About: My husband and I work from home and have very flexible schedules that allow us to be present with our pets during the day. There are no kids in the home during the day during the week. Typical day include walks around the neighborhood or nearby park, lounging or playing in the backyard or the dog park. Plenty of toys for chewers and plenty of space in our fenced yard to roam and play. I currently work from home as a technology sales rep. When I am not working, I’m entertaining both my toddler and pets. I often have a decent amount of free time and dog sitting has been a great outlet for my dog to socialize and get some fun in! For repeat pets, I have noticed a big difference after a few days of adjusting. Its important for pets to feel safe in whatever space they are in.

This was our first time using a pet sitter and Shannon made the process very easy! Our cats were very happy

Brianna was terrific! She took great care of my cats, was very communicative, and took the cutest photos. Would definitely book with her again!

McKenna was great! She is reliable, caring & trustworthy. She gave my dog her insulin shots with no issues. Highly recommend.

WE LOVE CLAUDIA she is top notch! She always goes above and beyond, she takes such good care of our pup!! 😊

The ONLY reason I would ever give Sydney less than 5 stars would be to keep her all to ourselves!! Thank you for taking the very best care of our fur babies, I have a hard time trusting others with our dogs. We are so grateful for you taking such great care of our pack!

Michelle took such great care of our kitties. She was very communicative and send pics too! Thank you so much!!!

Bobbie was absolutely amazing with my two poodles! She did two drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. Not only did she play with them and keep them company, but she also made sure they were fed, which was a huge help. My poodles were happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was clear they enjoyed their time with her. Bobbie is reliable, caring, and great with dogs—I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
