About: I have been lucky enough to have cared for dogs from all ages, breeds, and walks of life. From raising my own since they were puppies, to caring for them to the end of their lives, I have always put their physical and emotional well-being first. While I have had many pets myself- hamsters, rabbits, fish, and birds- my dogs have been my favorite, and dog-sitting for my friends has been a highlight for me, especially since my soul-dog died last year. I have experience working with puppies all the way through senior pups, and I look forward to taking care of YOUR pet(s), so that you can have peace of mind while you have to be away from them. Right now I'm looking for life to slow down a bit, so at the moment, I am completely invested in pet care. I am hoping to build relationships with new families, and become YOUR favorite caregiver! I do have a commitment in Detroit from 10:15am-2pm on Sundays, but am happy to drive to your home and back to ensure continuous care. I cannot do overnights at homes where people smoke inside. I treat clients' pets and homes like they are my own- with the utmost love and care! I remain in specified areas, am quiet and respectful, and ensure the safety of all pets. I'm attentive to the needs of the family, especially any dietary restrictions of the pet(s).

“Heather was amazing! She went above and beyond and it was our first time meeting her. She came over on short notice the day before to do a quick meet and greet and then walked our dog twice in one day, sent plenty of pictures, hung out with her...I couldn't be happier and will definitely checking her availability for needs in the future.”

About: Your pets are family — and they deserve to be treated that way. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with cats and dogs - breeds ranging from Akitas to MinPins. But dogs have always been my greatest passion. I began pet sitting for friends and family in college, and over time my experience grew into a deeper focus on canine behavior, training, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I currently share my home with two rescue dogs, Radar and Remi (staffy mix and pit/bully mix), whose journeys inspired me to expand my knowledge through extensive professional training with world-renowned trainers, a behavioral mentorship program, and two years working part-time at a professional dog training facility, specializing in puppies and behavioral cases. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — including anxious, reactive, or high-energy dogs. My approach combines structure, patience, compassion, and safety so your pet feels calm, secure, and understood. Whether your dog needs active engagement, gentle reassurance, or experienced handling, you can trust they’ll be cared for like one of my own. I’m a full-time Mortgage Loan Officer who works both from home and out in the field, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and accommodate your pet’s needs I’m happy to follow whatever routine or care plan works best for you and your pet — whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, cuddles, or simply providing calm companionship and love. Both of my dogs have been crate trained, and I’m comfortable supporting crate routines if needed. While they don’t need or use muzzles, I’ve muzzled trained them, if there were ever a situation that called for it. My behavioral mentorship was with a fear-free trainer, but I also have experience learning from trainers who incorporate tools, allowing me to adapt to the approach you and your dog are familiar with. My goal is to work within your pet’s established structure so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood.

“I'm very happy with Annie and Dustin. I've been coordinating with them from out of state to walk my little guy (Dexter) while he stays with my dad for the month. I really appreciate how easy they are to communicate with, the photos, and their detailed account of of how Dexter is doing. It makes me feel better about being far away. They are definitely pros. Highly recommend.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I would walk my dogs daily, to explore and go to the bathroom. I would also groom them myself. I am also familiar with cats too. I currently work part-time flexible shift during the week. I am available for boarding after 9 a.m. and on the weekends. I also specialize with deaf dogs. I will be getting gates and crates if needed fur your fur babies. When outside your puppy will me monitored at all times. Safety is #1 for all pups.

“Jason proactively managed Hershey’s schedule based on weather this week. I appreciate how he put my boi’s well being first. Thank you! See you Wednesday.”

About: Hello! My name is Phoenix - I am an avid animal lover who has worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes throughout my 15 years of experience with volunteering for animal rescue, as well as owning them throughout my lifetime. My top priority is to ensure your best friend feels safe & at home during their stay. Expect thorough updates and high quality photos all day long of your pet! Also, please enjoy the reassurance that your dog will never be left unsupervised! I now work from home. If I do have to leave the home, I have a doggie cam in which allows me to watch AND talk to them from anywhere! I immediately receive alerts to my phone when they are active. I attended Michigan State University for my Pre-Veterinary requirements so I am able to confidently administer any medications or special diets your pet needs. I have familiarity with many dogs/cats of many behaviors - so if your pet is timid or full of energy, no worries! Dogs are allowed to curl up on the couch with me, as well as sleep on my bed (if you allow). The more the merrier. When they enter my home I like to make them feel comfortable and like they are apart of the family. I have 2 dogs, an Australian Shepherd, Luna, and a Beagle/Basset Hound, Leo, whom are extremely social and has an endless amount of energy, if your dog would enjoy a playmate. One last thing, I do have cats - but they are not your typical cat. They are extremely desensitized to dogs and very friendly towards them. Many dogs who have had little to no cat experience are usually in shock by their confidence and just respect their space! Hope to hear from you and your fur baby soon!

“Alicyn was friendly and very patient with our anxious rescue dog!”

About: I’ve been caring for my dogs for 12 years now! I love them like family and they seem to think I’m alright too 😅. Let me know how I can help make sure they’re happy while you’re away or busy! I work part-time currently but I have extra time available to me so I can get out and play, walk, or feed your four-legged companions. I have two dogs that love to play if that’s something you’d appreciate. I also don’t mind taking long walks or trips to the park as needed!

About: I've been caring for animals since my teenage years. I started out with an animal that has a terrible reputation, but happens to be one of the most intelligent small animals. Domesticated Norwegian rats. I became an avid trainer, teaching them to spin and even play basketball. Others call them "pocket puppies", and so I began training small dogs next. Hanging out with the fur babies, having a schedule that includes my tiny dog, it's the best part of my daily life and even encourages me to take better care of myself. I am disabled, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I can adjust my day to your dogs needs, and have very flexible hours. I always leash if the outdoor area is not enclosed. I cross the road to avoid strange dogs on walks. I follow instructions to every detail, and won't hesitate to reach out to avoid confusion!

“Yucca can be a lot to handle on a walk and Skylar did amazing with him. He worked on the heel command with Yucca during their first walk together. I would highly recommend him. He is quick to respond to requests. I will use him again!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, my family always had multiple rescue dogs and I absolutely loved helping to care for them. Over the last 5 years I have gotten involved in animal rescue and fostering. I’ve fostered over 10 dogs and successfully found them their forever homes (except my foster fail, Betty 😜) I currently volunteer at DACC as much as I can, and absolutely love being able to help get the dogs some fresh air and play time. I would love the chance to get to know you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind that they are in good hands while you are away! I recently got laid off from my job, the restaurant that I managed for 8 years suddenly shut down, so right now I have plenty of time to focus on what I love- caring for dogs and cats! I’m happy to follow your dogs typical routine- whether they are crate trained or get free roam of the home. Whatever makes you and your pets feel safe, I am more than happy to accommodate!

About: I believe that dogs have incredible souls and they also have unconditional love and compassion. There is something peaceful about watching dogs and making sure they are OK. Fitness is something else I am into and working with RoverGo let’s me combine the two and it’s wonderful! I’m also excited to grow my dog sitting business with Rover and I absolutely love working with dogs and their owners on a daily basis -- it’s truly exciting to me and I couldn’t be happier! If I’m taking care of your pup you can be assured that not only will they get plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs, but there will also be plenty of play time. I also like to keep dogs on their routine, including meals and I deliver top-notch customer service by listening to what each owner has to say about their pet’s unique personality and habits. I’m also a dog owner -- I have a beautiful Pitbull mix puppy -- and she is the light of my life! Dogs have always been a part of my life, whether they have been my own or I’ve been caring for them for friends and family. And if your pup has any special medical needs, you should know that I’m comfortable administering oral medical or providing extra-special care for senior dogs.
