Dog Sitting Grosse Pointe Park

About: Hi! I’m Sandra, a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ About Me I have a natural love for animals and a strong sense of responsibility. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that seriously. I provide attentive, dependable care with lots of affection and patience. I am home full-time and I work from home . So I am able to attend to all the animals with love throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard. I have a doodle that will keep your dog company. He is 20 pounds. He loves to run and play. He goes to the dog park daily. We would love to have your company.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. At just 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog-washing service because I genuinely enjoyed caring for them. Today, I share my life with my senior dog, Buddy, who has a calm temperament and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether they’re playful puppies or relaxed seniors, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know pets are family, and I understand how important it is to have complete peace of mind when someone else is caring for them. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight stays. I believe in keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I live with my senior dog, Buddy, who has a calm temperament and gets along well with other dogs. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so they receive personalized care. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised environment and will send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own family.

About: Since I was in my teens I have lived a life with pets - both dogs and cats, and it has been such a rewarding journey so far! I have had two rescue dogs, a collie mix and a beagle, and they had my whole heart. I currently have a multi-cat household, and do TNR in my neighborhood where I can to help the outdoor stray cats. I have also rehomed multiple cats with the help of local rescue groups to ensure a long happy kitty life. Currently, I spend a great deal of time with my best buddy Rocco, an 8 year old black lab. I have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs and large dogs and honestly enjoy them all the same! I also have experience with cats of all ages, from bottle feeding kittens to 18 year old seniors, and am comfortable giving any medications to dogs or cats as well. I know my way around all kinds of personalities and ages, whether it be those that want to play or those that need a slow, gentle walk and some extra attention. I have also been working with the same vet for 20+ years that can attest to my care and love for animals. I will treat every pet like my own - patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Being around animals - that's my happy place. My hours at work have changed which allows me to be available Monday-Friday 11am-3pm. I'm available for walks, drops ins for potty breaks while you're at work, or to check on your kitties if you'll be gone longer than you'd like to be. Lots of time for playing with your furry family members! I would be happy to come to your home and treat it and your pets with respect and care. My personal cats are all fixed and up to date on shots, however I took in a stray girl last winter who is very scared of everything. I think it's best to let her rule the house and come to visit yours at your homes where they are most comfortable.

“Meaghan is a nice person and, my dog Joy is warming up to her pretty good.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 25 years. I am a professional K9 trainer and handler with experience working with family pets, high-drive working dogs, puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I own and operate Paws & Effect K9 Services and have worked with obedience, behavior modification, crate training, leash manners, socialization, and detection dogs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Whether your dog needs a simple walk, overnight care, or extra structure and training, I provide reliable, professional care and treat every dog like one of my own. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. As a professional dog trainer and lifelong animal owner, I spend every day caring for, exercising, training, and monitoring dogs. This allows me to provide reliable care, frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I maintain a flexible schedule and can accommodate the individual needs of your pet whenever possible. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and high-energy working breeds. Pets in my care receive constant supervision, structured routines, clean accommodations, and plenty of exercise and enrichment. I can follow medication schedules, feeding instructions, crate routines, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have volunteered with the Detroit Dog Rescue, so I have had experience with a wide variety of dogs. Wherever you are with your dog (e.g. training programs) I will follow that--I do not want your dog's schedule or routine to get disrupted while you are away. I understand how to approach dogs, no matter the size. I am a Real Estate Agent, so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere, so you’re dog or cat will get all the attention! We will go on walks, play, exercise, etc. I am comfortable working with animals of all sizes, various breeds, and all ages. I understand that pets are a part of a family and I want them to still feel that way when you are gone for the time period where I am watching them. I have administered insulin to a cat before, and other medications to dogs as well. I am a Realtor so I can work from home or leave your baby for the day while I go to the office. I do have some unplanned events for work, like showings and closings, but I will give him or her the best attention he or she needs! I will follow the rules you set for your fur baby. I will be sure to send you pictures, videos, and updates every day you're away.

“Jason was really sweet with my dog. She isn't the easiest dog and he was able to make her comfortable. He also took her on walks and showed up when he said he would. I appreciated the photo updates as well. Will definitely rebook with him!”

About: Certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and training, I bring 6 years of experience working with diverse dog breeds, ages, and temperaments, ranging from shy to reactive/aggressive. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I excel in building bonds and fostering confidence. I also have some experience in cat sitting. I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own. For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

About: Dogs are the best. I had a Boston growing up and he was the best. Having a dog taught me a lot. Let that’s experience be beneficial to you! I am currently unemployed so I am available most days. I can drop in mornings, evenings, and nights. I love going on walks so let me take your dog along with me. I treat animals with care and respect. I treat them like they are my own animals. I respect boundaries and want to make the animal feel comfortable

“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”

“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: Hi my name is Sarah, and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old daughter, who is great with dogs and always gets so excited when we get new dogs, and always loves when we see them again. we definitely are an animal loving family! I've always had dogs growing up, and watched my mom's dog anytime she's out of town. My husband also loves dogs and he loves to play with them. I've been doing rover now for 3 years and I love getting to know different types of dogs and meeting new people! We have a fenced in yard that is a pretty decent size to run around and burn there energy, and I normally will always go out with them as well to throw some toys around and watch them run around. We are not always able to give them walks but we try our best especially if the weather is nice. We enjoy getting fresh air as well. But either way I let them run out in the back! I am always taking photos, and will send you as many updates as you'd like. Your dog will always get love and attention here. Like I said I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is super flexible. We always will treat your dog like family. If you let them sleep with you on your bed, most likely we will too! Whatever routine you have for them, I will too.

“Jordyn was amazing. She was communicative, flexible and took the extra steps to ensure my dog Oby was taken care of. She took time out of her day beforehand to come and meet him, learn his routine and provided an unparalleled peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be looked after while I was gone. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be my first contact for any future trips.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!

About: We love dogs and promise to take care of yours as if he or she was part of our family. We are happy to follow any specific instructions you may have and will do our best to provide a happy, healthy environment for your furry family member while you’re away. We are both recently retired and don’t currently have any pets so we can give yours all the attention he or she needs. We are happy to send photos and/or videos while you’re away if you like! We will make sure your dog(s) get lots of exercise, love and attention! We are retired and are available everyday - weekdays, weekends, holidays - you name it! We are completely flexible and able to work with your schedule. We can even pick up and/or drop off your fur baby if it’s more convenient for you. Just ask us - we are more than happy to help! And while our profile says that we only take ONE dog at a time, we are happy to take two or three AS LONG AS THEY ARE FROM THE SAME FAMILY. We strongly believe in making your dog’s (or dogs’) experience as close to what you provide at home. That’s why we don’t have any other animals of our own and we won’t care for multiple dogs from outside your own family. It’s safer for your dog(s) and there is much less anxiety for them when they aren’t faced with unknown dogs. We endeavor to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable and calm as possible during their stay with us. Safety first! Our entire home has been recently remodeled and is very dog friendly. We keep chemicals out of sight and behind closed doors. Our yard is fenced in and there is a lot of space to run and play. Joe is “dog-walker extraordinaire” and loves to take long or short walks any time of day.

“Thank you so much”
