About: My family has always had a dog since I was born. I have helped take care of relatives and family friends' dogs of all sizes/breeds since I was a child. I love giving dogs the attention they want--whether that be long walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling on the couch. My goal is to make your dog as comfortable as possible while you're away! I work full-time, but often work from home a few days of the week. My boyfriend is in law school and will be studying for the bar exam this summer. Between both of us, we are able to provide a mostly flexible schedule so that we can give your dog the optimal amount of time and care. We live in a townhouse with an un-fenced yard, but are able to provide as many potty breaks as needed. The neighborhood is perfect for giving as many walks as needed. If house-sitting, we are available to stay over with your dog and provide as much of their normal routine as possible.

“Evelyn P. “Denice” is such a caring, devoted and thoughtful dog lover and care giver for animals. Even for our meet and greet, she brought treats for Cooper to enjoy too when she met him. So sweet and thoughtful. While we were away, she was on time with all scheduled visits and sent many photos, which was so nice as I missed my little baby so much! Looking forward to having Denice help again. She’s truly wonderful!”

“Danielle was super helpful for walking our dog mid afternoon!! She was understanding of our needs and had a great personality! Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Danielle!”

“This was our second time having Mary take care of Gus and Gino while we were out of town. We really appreciate Mary’s flexibility - we had to change our schedule a couple of times, and she’s so gracious and understanding. I also appreciate the “extra” she provided in handling a sensitive package that arrived earlier than expected. Gino loves the attention from Mary - Gus is still a bit shy but I am positive he will come out of his shell eventually. Mary did a great job keeping us updated and we loved the check ins and photos! We’ll definitely have Mary care for Gus and Gino again in the future!”

“Great! Meghan was very attentive to the needs of our older cat. Gave her attention with petting and brushing as well as the treats! Consistently on time, communicated well, pictures, kept the litter clean, pilled the cat.... Could not ask for anything more!”

About: I believe in health for everyone in your familia, even the ones with tails. I can do everything from train and run your most rambunctious puppy to gently walking or playing with your senior doggo. For me, pets of all kinds are part of the household and I really believe in treating them as such. Pets deserve to be treated well and have fun under our roofs. By the way...One of my super powers is running after escaped dogs both in Detroit and the Pointes! I do this all because of a profound love for my first dog and dear runner friend, Tyson the Rottweiler, who always kept me company and taught me the value of loyalty, love, and the idea of caring for others.

About: I've had dogs all my life and was a foster mom for Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue in Grand Rapids. I am patient with senior and special needs pups, and am engaging and playful with high energy dogs as well! I have open availability so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can pop-in, walk or take your pet almost any day and time. I have a large yard, lots of toys, and two furry friends to play with. We will snuggle, play and take lots of walks together.

“Kylie exceeded my expectations during a drop in visit with my 15 week old puppy. She is also very accommodating and great with communication. I’ll definitely request her for future visits!”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have availablility all summer for walks, potty breaks, and puppy help. Would love to help! I’m a teacher so I will be home and available all summer. I have a lot of flexibility to help with whatever a pet owner may need. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old female labrador. Our household has 5 people and all over the age of 18.

“Hannah is a kind, attentive, and passionate pet sitter!! She responds very promptly and I feel comfortable that my pet is being taken care of when I’m gone.”

“Emily is AMAZING! My fiancé and I got our fur baby this summer while I was on summer break, I went back to work this week and was having such a difficult time. Our fur baby loves Emily and I know he is loved and taken such good care of!”

Morgan M.

About: I’ve been taking care of others dogs since I was about 14 or 15 since I wasn’t allowed to have a dog in my home. Unfortunately, I’m not in a place to take care of a dog full time, but I love taking care of them for others! Right now I am bouncing around different small jobs that don’t take up too much time of my day, and I like to stay busy:) I am very respectful on clients needs and rules. If there is ever something I consider doing outside of that, I will communicate it well.

“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I will definitely be calling Cheryl the next time I need someone to watch my cats. We hit it off and, maybe more importantly, one of my cats took to her right away, the other was less trusting but her behavior improved by the end of Cheryl’s visits.”

Beth G.

“We’ve solely utilized Megan for the past four years and we couldn’t be more grateful! As always, we appreciate her taking care of our dog while we take care of ourselves outside of our home. Thank you!”

Steph A.

“My kitties appreciate Chetoya’s visits. They’re super shy but will come peek out and eat when they see her❤️❤️ She is responsible and always responds quickly. Thank you!”

Lulu S.

“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!”

About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Nia, and I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I truly see dogs as family. I bring that same love, attention, and care to every pup I meet. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same attention and affection I give my own. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and ability levels, and I always aim to provide personalized care tailored to each pup’s unique needs. Please feel free to share all the details about your dog so I can provide the best experience possible. I currently have one fur baby, Ice, a two-year-old American Eskimo. She’s a sweet companion who loves having furry friends around—she’ll happily match their energy, whether that means being playful and active or calm and relaxed. Comfort & Care: Every dog in our care receives wonderful, personalized attention. We provide extra beds, bowls, feeding mats, blankets, and treats to make them feel right at home. Our large, fully fenced yard provides plenty of space for running, playing, and exploring safely. Pups also have full access to roam our home as they would their own, and we can provide separate feeding and sleeping areas to ensure each dog has their own safe, comfortable space. In addition to playtime and exercise, we love providing mental stimulation with toys, training reinforcement, and interactive activities to keep tails wagging. Requirements & Policies: Proof of Vaccinations: All pets must be up to date and vaccinated by a licensed vet before moving forward with the booking process. Required vaccinations include: *Rabies *DHPP/DHLPP combo (includes Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Leptospirosis, and Parainfluenza) *Bordetella (Kennel Cough) *During summer months, pets must also be on a flea/tick preventative. Boarding Capacity: I am a low-capacity boarder, caring for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time. This ensures each pup receives individualized attention while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. For the safety and happiness of all guests, it’s important that your dog is friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Meet & Greet: A meet and greet is required for all bookings. This allows me to get to know your pup, observe how they interact with my dog, and ensure I’m the right fit for their needs. All meet and greets take place at my home at no extra cost. Once your time is confirmed, I’ll provide the address on the day of the meeting. Behavioral Restrictions: I am unable to accommodate dogs with the following: *Excessive marking, barking, or whining *Severe separation anxiety *Females in heat *Escape artists *Destructive or aggressive behaviors (including resource guarding) *Dogs who are not house-trained *Dogs with aggression toward people, children, or other animals *Dogs with contagious illnesses, fleas, or parasites *Dogs who are extremely reactive to other dogs or strangers *Dogs who require extensive medical care or frequent medication administration beyond standard oral or topical treatments *Dogs with biting history or unpredictable behavior Please note: My puppy rate will be applied to any adult dog that exhibits any of the behaviors listed above if they were not disclosed prior to the start of boarding. Property Damage: Compensation will be requested from the pet owner for any destruction of the sitter’s property caused by the dog. Food & Supplies: Please bring enough food to last the entirety of your dog’s stay, considering possible flight delays, cancellations, or emergencies. Please provide detailed food instructions in case I need to purchase more. Pet parents are responsible for any additional food costs if needed. Booking Notice: I am unable to accept last-minute or same-day bookings, as all dogs require a meet and greet prior to their stay to ensure they are comfortable and a good fit. Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs: Pick-ups and drop-offs are typically between 7 AM and 10 PM. Any pickups after 10 PM will be scheduled for the following day. If you need a different time, just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate on a case-by-case basis whenever possible. Family Support: My husband also assists with the care of all dogs in our home. He treats every pup with the same compassion, love, and plenty of cuddles that I provide. He is usually present for meet and greets, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet him and see the care your dog will receive firsthand. Communication: I love keeping pet parents updated! I can provide photos, videos, and messages during your dog’s stay so you can see how much fun they’re having. I am excited to meet you and your pup! Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. We can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home! I am currently working a full-time hybrid job. Some days I am fully at home, while others I am out in the field, but I am rarely away for more than 4–5 hours at a time. I always make time to return home to care for my own pet, and your dog will be included in that same attentive routine. I do have cameras set up throughout the home, so I can check in on and even talk to your dog throughout the day, providing reassurance and keeping an eye on their well-being. Please note: I am not able to accommodate pets that require constant, intensive care or supervision, as I want to ensure I can provide safe, high-quality attention to every dog in my care. I provide loving, personalized care for every dog in my home. They enjoy cuddles, walks, playtime in our large fenced yard, and full access to explore safely. I care for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time, and I use cameras to check in and interact with them throughout the day.
