“Mary Kay was attentive to all my pets’ needs and was very sweet with them. She followed my drop in instructions perfectly and was very punctual. I appreciate her interest in treating them and giving them additional care beyond Cholula’s basic need of a potty break. We are so fortunate to have her services weekly moving forward.”


“Callie did a wonderful job caring for our three cats with drop in visits. She sent lots of pictures and videos and I really appreciated that each visit she listed the tasks that she did that we requested (litter, water, etc.). Clearly a huge animal lover and a conscientious and compassionate person. And obviously our cats loved her.”


“Rhea did a great job with Spock and took pictures so I could see how he was doing! I got home to a happy kitty and I appreciate her also bringing in a few packages I got. Thanks so much!”


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.

“Sarah has pet/house sat for us for several years. She is reliable and helpful. When our power went out, she made sure our appliances were unplugged so a surge wouldn't fry them. She always makes sure the cats are happy, and is communicative in every aspect. We're so glad we found her!”


“Once again, Grace did a wonderful job watching my two girls! While I was away for the holidays, I knew my cats were in safe hands. The daily pictures are such a treat to receive when you’re away from home that long. Thanks for being so kind to my kitties, Grace.”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and taken courses in behavior and animal welfare, which have given me strong skills in handling, caring for, and understanding pets' needs. As a future veterinarian, I’m dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe while giving them all the love and attention they deserve. I have a full-time internship, but I’m still dedicated to giving your pets the best care! I’m available on weekends and some evenings during the week. I always make time for play, walks, and extra snuggles to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, maintain a calm and positive environment, and keep a watchful eye on behavior and health. I can handle medication administration and have experience in basic medical care. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels at home and well cared for, whether at your place or mine.

About: I love animals and I’ve always grown up with them and taken care of them for others. I take care of dogs, cats, rodents, snakes, fish, and lizards. I work part time about 25 hours a week, and my job is quite flexible. I want to spend more time with animals and do more work I find fulfilling. I always communicate with the owner ahead of time to make sure expectations are set. It’s extremely important to me to take care of a pet and include the owner’s preference, and then for the animal to have a happy and safe time when they’re with me.

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 :)


“I continue to be so thankful for and impressed with Genelle. She was much too gracious when I forgot to leave a key fob for my building but was able to make it work. Thank you thank you thank you Genelle!!!”


“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful! Our dog is both high energy and high anxiety. She was great with navigating his needs! Her updates and photos were super informative and gave us great ease of mind while we were out of town that our dog (family to us), was well taken care of! She was also super communicative and an absolute pleasure to meet and work with! It is clear she is a true dog lover! I would definitely book her again! ♥️”


About: I've taken care of and lived with a multitude of pets since 2015. Every year up until this year, I've lived with a dog and/or cat. I love animals, (my favorite is llamas) and would start a farm if I wasn't raised in the city My schedule is constantly changing, but currently I am walking pets throughout the day, or babysitting during the days. I am open to change routines if needed For sitting pets in my home, I have an apartment, which means your animal would be leashed anytime not in my home. If we are in their environment, I listen to their cues of safety and trust and of course whatever the owners are comfortable with. Also, if your pet is under my care, I can be reached anytime :)

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 30 years and never imagined a site that I could join so that my mini poodle could have play dates. I'm retired and I love dogs so I thought dog sitting would be a good way for my mini poodle to meet new furry friends. I have one mini poodle named King that loves other pets. King doesn't use a cage, because he thinks hes human but I have no problem cage training other dogs. Otherwise, your pet will learn how to sit and engage with others without jumping on others and biting anyone.

About: I have a deep passion for caring for animals, treating each furry friend with the love and attention they deserve. From cozy cuddles to invigorating runs, I tailor each experience to cater to your dog's needs and preferences. Whether it's lounging on the furniture or enjoying playtime with their favorite toys, I ensure your pet feels cherished and valued. I have a particular fondness for exploring the dog-friendly delights of Royal Oak, including parks and pet stores, and even pup cups of froyo. Always prioritizing safety and cleanliness. Bath time is a joyous occasion, and who can resist the simple pleasure of ear scratches and belly rubs? Let me become a cherished addition to your dog's life, providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's a passion that seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve throughout each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I structure my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets under my care, making them feel loved and cherished at all times. In both my home and my client's home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets to thrive. Whether it's dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family, receiving personalized attention, regular exercise in a fenced yard, taking a drive just to find new places to walk around the city, and plenty of affection. In my client's home, I respect their routines and preferences, ensuring that their pets feel secure and well-cared for in familiar surroundings. From feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship, I go above and beyond to ensure the happiness and welfare of every pet entrusted to my care.

About: When I was 14, I realized the love I have for dogs. I would always feed, wash and take care of stray dogs while looking for the owner. Fostering these dogs was the most life-fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. I'm really attentive (especially to animals) so all of my attention will go towards your dog. The love and care you give to your dog, I can match plus some. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. As a pet lover myself I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home, I can assure you that I have the ability to provide a high degree of professionalism and heartfelt care for your pet. I look forward to meeting your pets!

“There is a possibility that Rosie likes Deja more than me and that is okay. It is a true testament to how Deja truly cares for Rosie like she is her own dog. She took Rosie on multiple walks throughout the day, provided all of her meals and snacks on time (while sticking to Rosie's diet and ensuring that all food consumed was safe for dogs), and even let her cuddle in bed to help her feel more at home. Deja really knows how to form an authentic relationship with your pet. I never feel any worry while Rosie is in her care!”

I reached out to Keryandra fully expecting her to decline such a late request, but she accepted! My lab mix Pepper adores her. She is so communicative and understanding amd such a sweet person. Every time I’m headed out on assignment, we choose her to take care of Pep.”
