“Hannah was great. We left our 3 month old kittens and asked her to house sit. She was very communicative and kept us updated when we reached out. The kittens were happy and healthy when we got home. She also took great care of the house and brought in our mail. We would definitely recommend.”


“Darriell stayed at my house for 1 week to look after my 85lb pit mix, Judah. Judah needed to be given medication twice a day, have probiotics sprinkled on his food every morning, and is aggressive towards other dogs. Darriell handled EVERYTHING perfectly. She took Judah on 2 walks every day, and had no issue with his meds or probiotics. She kept me up to date every day and went adorable pictures of my fur baby. She was extremely communicative and responsible. If I wasn’t moving to another state, I would DEFINITELY hire Darriell every time I needed a dog sitter. Highly recommend.”


“Oliver did a great job watching my pups. They are 14 and 6 months and they were well cared for. Our home was as well. We will definitely use him again. He did a great job communicating and keeping us informed.”


“Lauren did a great job watching our dog and was extremely accomodating to our changing schedules. We needed a sitter last minute for a hospital stay, and Lauren stepped up to look after our dog Rooney. Rooney has some reactive tendencies especially towards new sitters, but by the end of one day Lauren had her cuddling and being best friends. She also left our house clean and was great at communicating.”

About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.

“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”

About: I come from a family of dog lovers, with a dog at home my whole life. Dog parent of two 14 year old dogs, so familiar with elderly dog needs. Recently adopted a puppy and experienced with puppy training. I work a flexible schedule allowing for morning visits during the weekdays for walks or home visits. Weekend availability is limited but willing to work with you with enough notice. I have a large fenced yard with good lighting at night. We have a small cavalier/ Shih Ztu mix who is every friendly and playful. Walking is a daily activity and large area in the basement for day when bad weather doesn’t allows outside playtime.

“Thalisa was good at updating us as asked, sent daily photos, and cuddled hard with my pets. She left the place clean and my pets were happy when we returned. Would reach out to her again as needed!”


About: I’m a dog mom to a two year old German shepherd. I have a very flexible schedule . I’m a part time flight attendant and spend the rest of my time dog sitting and walking . I love all animals and all breeds . I currently travel for work as a flight attendant . I do however make my own schedule and know it a month in advance and I’m super flexible. Im trying to cut back on flying to be home more so I found this ap to help me do so . The days I am home I’m available whenever I’m needed. Caring for a pet in someone else’s home I would treat them as if they were my own . With all the love and care they need and under the rules of the owner . I am very protective of my baby boy so I would be with your pet too . I understand the stress and anxiety an owner can have to have someone that isn’t their mom or dad watch them . Whatever I’m asked I will do with plenty of photos , pets and belly rubs to make the owner and fur baby feel at ease and cared for .

About: I have a deep passion for caring for animals, treating each furry friend with the love and attention they deserve. From cozy cuddles to invigorating runs, I tailor each experience to cater to your dog's needs and preferences. Whether it's lounging on the furniture or enjoying playtime with their favorite toys, I ensure your pet feels cherished and valued. I have a particular fondness for exploring the dog-friendly delights of Royal Oak, including parks and pet stores, and even pup cups of froyo. Always prioritizing safety and cleanliness. Bath time is a joyous occasion, and who can resist the simple pleasure of ear scratches and belly rubs? Let me become a cherished addition to your dog's life, providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's a passion that seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve throughout each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I structure my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets under my care, making them feel loved and cherished at all times. In both my home and my client's home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets to thrive. Whether it's dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family, receiving personalized attention, regular exercise in a fenced yard, taking a drive just to find new places to walk around the city, and plenty of affection. In my client's home, I respect their routines and preferences, ensuring that their pets feel secure and well-cared for in familiar surroundings. From feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship, I go above and beyond to ensure the happiness and welfare of every pet entrusted to my care.

About: I love animals and I’ve always grown up with them and taken care of them for others. I take care of dogs, cats, rodents, snakes, fish, and lizards. I work part time about 25 hours a week, and my job is quite flexible. I want to spend more time with animals and do more work I find fulfilling. I always communicate with the owner ahead of time to make sure expectations are set. It’s extremely important to me to take care of a pet and include the owner’s preference, and then for the animal to have a happy and safe time when they’re with me.
