Cat Sitting in Grosse Pointe Farms

“Jillian did a great job of providing pictures and updates of my cats. The cats were happy, and their litter area was kept clean! I've already booked her again.”

“Mary took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, keeping them happy with plenty of playtime and attention. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands!”

“Lauren was reliable and flexible. Her communication was great. We used Lauren for drop-in visits with our puppy. My puppy was always so excited to see her. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Meghan was very communicative on when she would drop in and how Luna was doing. She sent lots of pics which was good to see Luna doing well! I highly recommend Meghan and would book again if she’s free! Your pet will be in safe hands with Meghan.”

“Heather is awesome and took care of my girls while away on work. Heather was prompt and gave detailed updates and photos of her time with my cats.”

“Danielle was fantastic with our two cats. She gave us updates and pictures every time she came to feed them. One cat is on medication which she had no problem giving the proper dose. I definitely will recommend her and use Danielle on our next trip.”

“My very shy cats warmed up to Chetoya very quickly! She was consistent, thorough and thoughtful in her care. I appreciated her daily photos and check-ins with my two floofs. She always responded immediately if I had questions. Thank you, Chetoya!??”

“Danielle is amazing. She takes such great care of our dogs. She spends individual time with them. It makes us feel better while we are at work to have the dogs in her care.”

“Melanie was great. She let me know when she was stopping by, spent time with my animals and shared pictures. My cats don’t usually come right up to strangers and they clearly felt comfortable with Melanie.”

“Chloe is a pleasant young woman who was reliable for the few visits I needed.”

About: When I was 18, I spent 6 months learning how to train police dogs for narcotic/explosive detection & bite work and civilian dogs for basic obedience & behavioral problems. After that, I moved back to Grosse Pointe and started training civilian dogs for basic obedience & behavioral problems on a referral basis. I now have two children and, while I still take on training clients, dog training usually takes place nights and weekends. While exploring ways I could supplement my income while my kids are at school, I settled on the idea of dog walking during the day. I used to waitress as well as dog train and the constant walking helped me keep in shape, so the idea of getting back to that as well as spending time with dogs and working hours that still allowed me to maintain my commitments as a mom and volunteer at the schools is very appealing. I love meeting new dogs and people and would love the opportunity to walk and care for your best friend! My experience makes me the perfect choice for anyone who is looking for someone reliable with a dog or if you have a pet you're concerned about a stranger being able to handle. Big or small, I can promise that your K-9 will be in trusted and experienced hands with me. Both of my kids are in school. My elementary student is in person and my middle school student homeschools. I've spent the last year increasing my volunteer work to help my family adjust to me being available less during the day, so they are all ready to work around mom being gone a few hours during the school day. My middle school student has transitioned to working at the library when I need to be away for a few hours while his brother is at school. 2025 is marking my goal of stepping back from volunteer work and into a job role. I would love to spend those hours with your pets, either going for walks, playing, or caring for them in your home. I am very responsible about making sure my home, pets, and kids are secure. This makes me to perfect person to care for your pets in your home. I will always make sure your yard is secure prior to letting out a dog. I will follow all of your instructions for care and reach out with any questions or concerns as soon as they come up. I will make sure all harnesses, collars, and/or leashes are reliable prior to taking your dog outside of the home. I will double check all locks prior to leaving if I am caring for a pet while the owner is away. I'm also big on pictures and will be happy to send along plenty of reassure pictures via text while your pet and/or home are in my care.

“Khelsi cat sat for me for 21 days over the winter break. My cat is shy but she warmed up to Khelsi within a few days and began playing with her. Khelsi was very communicative with me throughout my time away and sent me lots of pictures and updates despite the fact that I was in a very different time zone and could not always respond to her right away. She also periodically cleaned up around my apartment and left a sweet gift for my cat and me when she left. This was my first long trip away from my cat and stopped being anxious about her because I knew she would be safe and cared for with Khelsi watching her. Thank you for everything, Khelsi!”

“Megan is the best! She's reliable and able to fill in when I had a family emergency. I feel confident my kitties are being cared for while I'm away”

“Wayne is very communicative & quick to respond. Loves my cat, took great care of her. A pleasure to work with.”

“lauri helped us out recently with housesitting and watching our two cats - one of whom required medication twice daily and some other specifications throughout the day. lauri was great with caring for both him and his brother, giving them everything they needed and making sure that they were happy and healthy while we were away. she sent photos and detailed updates and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after them. we came home to happy cats and a well taken care of house - i would highly recommend lauri and will be booking with her again!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've had love and fascination for all kinds of animals - including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, crickets, even fishflies! I understood from a young age that each living creature has a place and a purpose on this planet, and that it's our job as humans to respect them. My experience with pet care first began with a family goldfish, and eventually a couple of parakeets. I quickly learned that there are responsibilities that come with not only physically taking care of a pet, but tending to their emotional needs as well. In 2018, I started taking care of my loved ones' pets when they were out of town or just needed a little extra help - ranging from my brother's dog to my best friend's cat. I have devoted my attention in these situations to ensuring that the pets are well fed and hydrated, they've received appropriate stimuli from either walks or playtime, and that they've received extra snuggles (if they want them!) I understand that it's also important to take care of the pets' owners as well, so I've prided myself in being an excellent communicator. In 2021, a sweet little peanut came into my life - a smushy-faced, Shar Pei mutt named Mischief. He has lived up to his name, but in a good way! We have spent the past four years munching on carrots (his favorite), going on long walks at the park, and burying ourselves under the covers on rainy days. He has made me a very happy dog mom, and from the very beginning we have had a special emotional bond that still amazes me to this day. In short, I have had quite a few years of experience with taking care of pets, and I have proven myself to be communicative and reliable. I have a big heart for all creatures, big & small, and I have more than enough love to go around! I work remotely and I live in a walkable area, so whether I am needed for a quick walk/drop-in while the pet owner is out of the house or at work, I have ample time throughout the day to take care of the pet. For any new pet, I understand that a bit of acclimation is necessary to gain the pet's trust. If the owner would like, I can meet the pet ahead of time to determine its temperance level and I'll respect any special needs that the pet has. I will cater my behavior and energy level towards the pet so that it doesn't become overwhelmed. I also have the strength and endurance to take pets for long walks and maintain good leash control. Lastly, I know a number of First Aid / CPR tactics for both dogs & cats alike, and I have the aptitude to learn anything else that is necessary for the pet's care.

“Jenny is fantastic! I was gone for 2 weeks, and I felt like the cats were in great hands. Communication is easy and excellent with her, and she spends the full 30min with them which I really appreciated since I had been away for so long. There was one time one of my cats was hiding out, and she stayed longer to make sure they were ok. Highly recommend!”

“After dealing with many inexperienced pet sitters, I found Megan. She is responsible, consistent, experienced, patient and kind with my dogs. I trust her so much with my dogs and am so confident in her care of them. They love being with her. The mere mention of her name ignites tail wagging. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is respectful of my house and is thoughtful enough to let me know if anything is awry (for example alerting me to a running toilet). I am now able to take lengthier trips because I have total faith in her that my dogs are taken care of.”

“She is great with animal's. She is caring. She is on time. My dogs and cat loves her. She pets them. She plays with animals. She will give them the care they need”

“McKenzie is a caring young lady who has always loved being around pets. She has been working hard towards a degree in social work and close to completing her degree. She has a bright future. Mckenzie is certainly trustworthy for this position.”
