“Karlysse helped us out last minute over the holidays and took amazing care of our two dogs. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy pups. We would absolutely hire her again!”

“Marissa did an incredible job watching my Helly over the weekend! She sent photos throughout her stay and left my home spotless. Very trustworthy and communicative! Thank you, Marissa!”

About: With years of hands on experience caring for a variety of pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique needs. From my own furry family of 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny, and a horse, I’ve learned the importance of being attentive, patient, and nurturing. My studies in Animal Science at CSU have further equipped me with the knowledge to care for pets with expertise and compassion. Whether it's administering medication, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering companionship, I ensure that every pet under my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With my current class schedule, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On most days, my classes are spread out, leaving me with large blocks of free time in the late morning, early afternoon, and evening. This allows me to be available for multiple visits throughout the day to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether it's morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I can easily fit pet care into my routine without any conflict. In caring for pets at clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow a detailed routine based on your pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. I ensure that their living space remains clean and safe, and I offer plenty of attention and enrichment to keep them happy. I also maintain open communication with you to update you on how your pet is doing and address any concerns promptly. My goal is to provide seamless, loving care that makes your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.
“This was the first time I'd used a house sitter for my 9 month old poodle. Chondra did an excellent job! She sent me photos. On my ring camera I could see she was giving my puppy lots of love, and walks. Since she works from home anyway, all she needed was a wifi hookup. The house was in perfect shape when I got home, she'd vacuumed and straightened everything... With a puppy it's a constant battle. I've already booked her for another trip. I highly recommend.”

“Brian was absolutely amazing while we were away in Disney World! He took such great care of our 2 dogs and our home — sending updates, photos, and keeping everything spotless. It was such a relief knowing they were happy, safe, and in their own routine while we were gone. He even went above and beyond with overnighting my cell that I left behind - and we came home to calm, content pups. Couldn’t recommend him more — truly dependable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely be booking him again!”

“Rebecca was wonderful and we will definitely be using her again. She was very kind and helpful and easy to deal with. She watched our two dogs while we were away for the weekend and also took care of the fish, the hermit crabs and the plants! The dog seemed relaxed and happy when we got home 😊”

“Tara was great watching our 6 month old kittens. They are very shy with new people. She was patient and gained their trust, she really went the extra mile! Highly recommend! Thank you Tara!”

“Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!”

“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”

“Denise was wonderful with my dogs. I have 3 small dogs who like to have company at home and that’s exactly what she provided. I was able to relax peacefully knowing my babies were safe and home, enjoying themselves. I got lots of updates throughout the weekend including videos and texts. She left the house exactly as she found it and had no issues! I will be inviting Denise back for my next trip!”

“Hanna stayed with our cat all week while we were gone. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos all week to get us through the week. 100% will rebook with Hanna.”

About: I started house/pet-sitting earlier this year. I love it! My two extended-stay experiences included an apartment with two cats, and a home with two boxers. I received superior reviews from both clients. I am fit, can go on long walks, and leave the place cleaner than I found it! As a retiree, I have a lot of discretionary time. If in the Washtenaw County area, I may need to run some two-three-hour errands during any given day. That will all be cleared in advance. I am attentive to the pets, and often stop what I'm doing to give them attention. I am excited when they come into the room. And I am exceedingly patient and gentle.
“Lyle is amazing. Axl’s new bestie! So responsive and helpful. Took good care of our pup and our home while we were away. Left a log of activity and treated Axl like a king. We can’t thank Lyle enough.”

“Patrick was great with our dog, Bentley! Our dog has separation anxiety so going away for trips is always a bit hard for us. Patrick was on time & communicative. I highly rec him.”

“Cheyenne was great! She sent pics and videos throughout her stay updating me about Jenny and Cody. Prior to our vacation, Cheyenne came over to meet the dogs and they both absolutely loved her. She was so sweet with them. We knew they were going to be in great hands, and they absolutely were! We will definitely book Cheyenne again and highly recommend her!”
“Karla exceeded my expectations and took the absolute best care of my dog while I was away. She was reliable, considerate and incredibly professional. I can’t recommend her more highly and look forward to booking her services again!”

Caili is a fantastic sitter who goes above and beyond expectations! She was great with our dogs Rae and Lumi! She arranged a meet and greet beforehand where she came prepared having read all of my instructions from my Rover profile already, so it was super easy to go over the care plan. For her stay with the dogs she arrived on time, followed all instructions for their care, gave them tons of love and snuggles, and even got them both out for walks which hadn’t been a requirement! She sent detailed updates and cute pictures so we knew our fur babies were doing well. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house. We’ll absolutely be having Caili back again and highly recommend her!
