About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with a deep love for pups of all kinds. While new to professional walking, I’ve spent years caring for and walking my own dogs. I treat every dog like family—safe, happy, and tail-wagging guaranteed! I'm currently in college with a mostly online schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pups with lots of walks and snuggles! Safety and comfort always comes first. I always follow any instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and give each pet plenty of love and attention. I aim to create a calm, trustworthy space where pets feel safe, happy, and at ease—just like they would with family.

I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I work in tech so I’m home frequently, meaning your pet won’t be left alone for long.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. Seeing any animal/pet beings a joy to my day. I’ve loved being able to volunteer at different Humane Societies across Michigan, and look to adopt very soon! My schedule is super flexible, so you will not have any worries about myself being able to meet up with your pups or cats. My schedule changes weekly, so I am able to always make valuable time for your animals!! There is a fenced in area here, and many places I am able to walk/drive to to be able to take out your animals for whatever they need!

About: I currently sit on a board of directors and volunteer with my boyfriend at a local animal rescue. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of pets with special needs (one of my pets is special needs!). I currently work Saturday-Tuesday remotely and a flexible, in person schedule Wed-Friday. My schedule is designed for flexibility, so I can easily meet the needs of you and your fur baby! I have over 15 years experience caring for dogs and over 7 caring for cats. I treat others’ pets as if they were my home. I am available 24/7 and love to message photos and videos to the pet owner. If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!

“Audrey did a drop in visit with my 2 weims. She was friendly, sent pictures, and let me know how the visit was. I will use her again in the future! Thanks Audrey! :)”

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover with a proven track record in the pet care industry. My diverse experience includes owning and operating a successful pet training and boarding facility, as well as consulting for a renowned service dog training organization. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the unique bond between humans and animals. My personal "zoo" includes three beloved dogs and a menagerie of other species, reflecting my passion for all creatures great and small. I actively contribute to my community by working with local rescues and animal welfare organizations. My expertise extends beyond dogs to a wide array of animals, from hamsters to horses, with a special affinity for exotic pets. I'm known for my professionalism, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, which consistently earns the trust and affection of both pets and their owners. As an overly attached pet parent myself, I empathize with the worries that come with leaving your furry (or scaly!) family members in someone else's care. That's why I go above and beyond to provide frequent updates and personalized attention, ensuring your peace of mind. When I ran my own facility, I even created individual "blog" pages for each dog, allowing owners to stay connected with their pets daily. I'm thrilled to offer that same level of care and transparency to my current clients. Let me bring my expertise and passion to your pet care needs – your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will thank you! Contact me for rates on training. I can even do a stay-and-train and train your pup while you're out of town! My routine is pet care centric, whether I'm pet sitting or not. I'm almost always doing something with my many pets, particularly the two dogs. I follow strict safety protocols. If needed, I can crate your dog, use double leashes etc. Whatever is necessary for your pet to have the safest environment

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”

About: I am now working part time giving me the flexibility to give your dog companionship and exercise while you are away! We can play outside in our large back yard. Our yard is not fenced, however we do have a boundary collar(invisible fence).Our home is in the country near a great dog park and Hartley making walks plesent and fun. I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also. I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard. My three children would give snuggles and tire your pup out during the day. If you have a less social dog I also have a quiet place for your pet to relax. I am working part time. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-4:00. My summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:30am-12:00pm. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday I would be home all day. My schedule allows me to be available to care for your pet and give the plenty of my time and attention. We love dogs and have two of our own. They are part of our family. We would treat your pet as part of our family while they stayed with us. Message me for any additional information or questions you may have.
