“Sarah was really good with my dog and sent phot and detailed descriptions of how everything went on the walks. She came to the rescue last minute and walked him for me while I was away on vacation. He did really good with her except for always trying to get his collar on!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was ten but I’ve been doing it professionally for about 6 years now. I moved to the Westland area just recently. I have a pretty free schedule as of now so I was looking into walking dogs or doing drop ins to fill the time, I love animals so this was something that I was interested in to begin with. I just want to make sure the pet is well taken care of, food, water, walk/activity and keep in contact with the owner during the walks or sitting to make sure they know how their pet is doing. I text them and send pictures of the pet during the time i am caring for them
About: I grew up on a farm around all sorts of animals and have learned how to take care of them with my family. I love all kinds of animals and have always had an easy time with animals. I work a hybrid schedule, so I am very frequently home and can help pet parents out with their pets needs. My schedule is pretty flexible. I live in a two story condo, with a basement. My home is pet friendly and pets are welcome on furniture and even on the bed.

About: Hi there, Nice to meet you, we are the Reynolds family. This includes myself (Katie - Mom ) (Mike - Dad ) and Our son (Nick). We also have three dogs (Chevy-4,Lucy 2,Bear 7 months) and the cats. We are fosters for a local rescue here in Michigan as well. So sometimes we may have foster pets as well. I (Katie) am currently a stay at home mom as our son is doing school online at this time. We are home most of the time. We do crate at night and when not at home. This is policy and please be advised if you do not like that we crate please don't board your dog with us. I apologize if this sounds harsh but i have my reasons. All the animals in my home are up to date on vaccines and fixed if at least 6 months old.All of my personal animals are fixed. Everyone is up to date on vaccines as well as flea and tick. They also receive heart worm year round. I do also spray my yard front and back in the warmer months for bugs to help prevent any additional fleas and such. We do have a fenced in yard. But we live of a busy road- This is why i ask if you have a dog that is a runner/escape artist that you inform me - so i can take precautions to prevent this from happening. I feed everyone separate at meal times - for safety reasons. I do not allow a boarding dog to sleep in bed with us. As stated i have Dogs,cats and a child in my home- if your dog is not good with any of these please do not book with me as there safety does come first. No offense. A little bit about us: My husband and i have been married 20 years and lived here in this home for 2 years now. We lived in our previous home for 11 1/2 years. We are a family of three. We have been fostering for a little over 12 years now. We have experience with many types of dogs and the care that they need ranging from giving pills, to giving shots. We have no problem boarding any breed as long as they are friendly with our current pets and like kids. We do not discriminate against any breed. AS STATED ABOVE- We do crate at night and when not home, also at feeding time. We do not board dog aggressive dogs - as i don't have the means to separate them safely. If you don't know how your dog is with cats or children please let me know and we can set up a meet and greet to find out. If you would like to know more feel free to contact me and ask. Hi there- My husband is up between 4am-5am -- to go to work and do potty breaks. I am usually up with him or up at 8/9am- When i get up i do potty breaks again and feed everyone in there crate. Once everyone has eaten then go outside again. Everyone is out and allowed to play as long as they are playing well with the others. if for some reason there is a disagreement we make adjustments to make things work. We play this by ear as every situation is a little different. We do try to feed around the same time we eat which is 5:30/6pm. Of course after dinner everyone gets the chance to go outside and do there thing. The last potty break for the night is usually 9pm or 10pm just depending on when we head to bed..This does not mean if someone wines to go out that they don't get outside.. We do use martingale collars ( also called no pull or no slip collars ) this helps to prevent your dog from slipping away from us when on a walk. We also do not open front door unless everyone is far away from the door. Our gate is not able to be opened with out a key as there is a lock on the gate for this exact reason.

Brittany B.
“Professional and responds instintaniously. I receive updates throughout the day with photos and I don't even have to ask. She's punctual and made a very good first impression. Not only with me but with my little mama Jacky Russell to! She's typically very shy and standoffish but not with Brittany. Definitely puts my mind as ease leaving her in Brittany's care while I'm out of town.”

Katie R.
“Katie is amazing! I can't recommend her enough. She provides frequent updates and is quick to respond to any messages. Our dog in particular can be kind of a problem child when meeting new people/animals but Katie made introductions look like a piece of cake! Within 2 days, our dog had made friends with everyone in the house including a cat and two dogs! Talk about skills. As a person, Katie is so sweet but doesn't let anyone push her around. It's clear she has rules in the house and she enforces them with love and patience. Our pet came home a happier and healthier dog. On top of all of that, she offers amazing prices and at least two walks a day when weather permits.”
Sasha S.
“Sasha is by far the biggest animal lover I know! She has two animals of her own who are spoiled. Having worked with Sasha 10+ years as well as being friends, I can attest to her honesty, compassion and loyalty and her care for animals in general! Overly qualified candidate for handling anything to do with your pet! 🩷”
