House Sitting Flint

About: I have lived with dogs, cats and bunnies since I was born. I took over training them at a young age because I have the patience and empathy to connect with animals. I have trained all of my dogs to an advanced level and have experience training cats as well. I treat animals with the same dignity and respect that I treat humans with. I run my own 3d print shop and have a lot of down time during and between jobs. I can do short or long term pet care as my business needs can be scheduled around that. I have a fully fenced yard, 3 very diplomatic dogs to keep them company and the ability to separate my pets from yours for the duration if needed. I will follow all instructions left for me when entering a client's home and do only the tasks asked of me.

“Aja took great care of my home and my pets! She was great with communication and sent me many photos of my furbabies which I really appreciated!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Jess. After a horrible experience with another Rover sitter, I was apprehensive to leave our three dogs with anyone other than friends or family. Then we met Jess. She was wonderful. She truly cares, and you can tell. Her personality is just laid back and easy going. Our dogs took to her like she was an old friend! She sent us photos, made sure everyone got fed on time, and she really put our mind at ease.she cared for our animals (ages 14, 4 and just under a year) like they were her own. And even tended to our youngest ones nail issue. She cared for our home-spotless when we came home. Even took the trash out and watered our plants! It is clear that our fur herd felt safe with her right away, and as a pet parent, that is important. With Jess, you won’t need anyone else—she’s amazing. We are SO thankful we found her! Looking forward to our next booking!”

“Ainsley was amazing and was available to watch my pup last minute which I know is difficult! She is great and I highly recommend her as a sitter. She sent the cutest pics along the way!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience with breeds ranging from Yorkies and Frenchies to Border Collies and German Shepherds. Caring for my own German Shepherd service dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog individually. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I treat every pet like family while they’re in my care. My schedule is flexible, and I prefer a routine that naturally includes animals rather than working around them. I’m usually available throughout the day for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I’m comfortable adjusting my plans to make sure pets get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs. Scarlett; a 7 year old German Shepherd, Oakley; 2 year old GSD mix, and Justin; a 4 year old Frenchie.

“Kaitlin was great! Our dogs were very happy when we returned from our trip and we received cute pictures of them while we were gone. She was very thorough and communicative.”

“5 Stars – Hands down the BEST dog sitter we've ever had! Carissa is an absolute gem! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly thorough—asking every important question and answering all of ours with patience and clarity. We instantly felt at ease leaving our 9-year-old Apollo in her care. She was always extremely responsive, easy to reach, and wonderfully accommodating to both Apollo's needs and ours (including bringing in mail and packages). Our home was left spotless and tidy. The daily updates were a highlight—multiple photos and messages each day showing Apollo happily running in the yard, playing indoors, getting tons of cuddles, and smiling with his chompers lol. Seeing how content and loved he was allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our family vacation without a single worry! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled and rescheduled (leaving us stuck in airports for an extra 30 hours), Carissa immediately and graciously agreed to stay an additional night. Knowing Apollo was in such capable, caring hands made a stressful travel day, much easier. Carissa's professionalism, genuine love for dogs, and thoughtful attention to detail made our trip better than we could have hoped. We've never felt more comfortable or at peace leaving our senior pup with anyone else. She is now our first and only choice for future sittings! Thank you, Carissa—you're phenomenal! ♥️”

“Lily did a wonderful job sitting for my Maize and a friend’s Cooper. They have two distinctly different personalities and Lily was able to make them both comfortable. She sent me pictures daily, which I really appreciated. She also left the house in perfect order. I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend Lily!”

“Keegan has taken care of my little dog twice now. He communicates in a timely manner and sends updates and photos thru the day which is very appreciated. He's been very helpful. I definitely recommend him.”

“Michelle did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs in our home for a week. She even cared for our three fish tanks while we were away. She sent frequent pictures and responded quickly to messages. When our older dog was having difficulty jumping on the bed at night, she switched rooms so she would have an easier time navigating the jump. When we arrived home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and content. Michelle has our highest rating!”

“Kathy is simply the best!!! I can tell from the photos she sent during our trip that our Critters absolutely adored her based on the smiles on their sweet faces and we agree that she is a rare gem! Not only did she take pawfect care of our Pack, our Nest was nicely cared for as well!! I especially appreciate that she is able to spend so much time with the Critters as Critter Sitting is her main gig! Highly recommend! We’ve already booked future dates and are all looking forward to seeing Kathy again! 🐾🐾💚”

“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”

“Katie is awesome! She took excellent care of our dogs and cats. She followed their routine and kept in communication with us during our trip. She is very mature and professional and is a true animal lover. Our pets were relaxed and happy when we got home.”

“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my Goomba for me while we were on vacation! She arrived promptly on time and was very communicative. Goomba didn’t even know I was gone until I got back.

About: I am freshly post grad and I have lots of free time on my hands. I would love to walk and accompany your doggies as needed. I just finished college and have a lot of free time on my hands. I am available often to walk, drop in, or watch your pets! I strive to get to know your pets and their routines. I will walk, play, cuddle, feed, and care for your family as though they are my own!

About: I have had my current dog for over a year and we are training to become a Therapy Dog Team. I previously volunteered at Capital Humane Society for 6 months as an Adoption Counselor. I am currently volunteering at Great Lakes Dog Rescue. Growing up I helped take care of the family dog. I took Veterinary Science at the Henry Doorly Zoo in high school and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Nutrition and Exercise Science. I have experience in training and know how to give dogs vaccinations. I am also happy to provide a basic behavioral profile for your dog for future sittings. I'm currently working part-time in a clinic and in school. Outside of that I have an open schedule and am happy to make time to take care of dogs. I live in an apartment and walk my dogs almost daily. More than happy to do dog introductions before sitting. If it’s a house sitting, more than happy to keep the dogs fairly separate and will take my dog to my apartment instead of leaving the dogs alone. I will never leave my dog and your dog alone in the house.
