About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

“Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!”

About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening. I can stay at a client’s home as I have experience with this. Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this. Most dog sitters I know give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their pets and staying safe in the home.

“I had to take a quick trip out of town on business so I left my four month old Great Dane puppy with Ginny and Mary. They had previously done a couple of drop in visits with her. I left A LOT of instructions, but they did everything that I asked, including getting up at 2 AM to take her out to the bathroom. When she developed a tummy issue the communication was fantastic. When I got home, my Zoey couldn’t decide who she liked better, me, or Ginny! I’m very grateful for the care they gave her.”

About: I've had pets all my life and been incredibly responsible about them since I was small. Dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles 🐶🐈‍⬛️🦎 are all in my pet sitting repetoire from personal experience growing up! Currently I have two dogs, one small shih-tzu 🤍terrier and one large German Shepherd 🐕 that get along great. As you can see in-home boarding at my house will be unavailable because of this. I am open to very quick notice sits as long as they do not conflict with my primary job, which is as a restaurant server in a pizza place! 🍕 I will always feed on time 🥣, take pets out to go safely and on a leash or in a fenced area, administer medicine 💊 properly, as instructed and when needed, and accomodate for any other methods of care your pet is used to in order to make them feel comfortable and build a bond! I'm taking care of them, after all -- they deserve someone they'll get to know! If you need someone reliable, intelligent and passionate about animals then look no further. You've found your pet sitter for life! I'm working part-time as a restaurant server as I mentioned before. My schedule is posted monthly so I will have plenty of time in advance to know whether or not your pet can receive my care! And I have not much else going on otherwise in terms of availability. In your home I would be respectful of all assets and living spaces, as well as supervise the pets to make sure they don't cause trouble. If they do I have open communication at all times and would of course clean up after them as well! I feed and take them out or clean up after them regularly, and of course every animal is different so we will discuss what times every animal is used to and fit them in to the boarding schedule! For walks, feeds, or medication through drop-ins we would discuss a schedule as well, be it weekly, daily, or whatever you need.

“Louise was very responsive and easy to work with. She picked up my request very quickly and arranged for a meet and greet with my dogs. They were instantly in love with her! She was very thorough with information about feeding/bathroom/medicine times and even offered to clip their nails if needed. She provided updates as to when she was there and a left a message at my home in regards to the times they were fed and given medicine. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her in the future.”

“Chelsea was very communicative and sent lots of photos during the time she stayed at my house while watching my pup. I’d recommend her for house/pet sitting and hope to have her back!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alexis was amazing! My cat Precious had no issues and I was glad to receive daily update photos on her status. She was great at handling her food and made sure Precious received adequate attention. Alexis definitely came through for a long week of drop-ins while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!”

Eager to provide love, safety and security for your pets the way you like it! Happy to fulfill your needs with added cuddles and love for your fur baby!

“Kimberly was an amazing dog sitter for our two pups! She followed all of our instructions, communicated with us while we were away with pics and updates and even did some light housework!!! We will def be hiring her the next time we go away!”

About: For over 10 years I've been involed with pet care, primarily in the form of Trap Neuter Release (TNR) for backyard litters of kittens and the caring that came along with it; bottle feeding, medication schedules and rehoming. In additon, I have had animals of all kinds throughout childhood including hamsters, birds, dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I have dealt with everything from puppy stages, kitten care, rabbit care, to senior dogs with disabilities. I got my own dog almost three years ago, a rescue from an abusive home, in addition to the family pets. She has taught me so much on caring for animals that need extra patience or time with others. Currently home from college which offers a flexible schedule and plenty of time dedicated to your little friends! I’m available throughout the week for feedings, walks, playtime, drop-ins, or all-day sitting. I prioritize the pet’s comfortability with me, making sure they feel safe and calm. I follow any and all directions given by owners to ensure our little friend's routine is upkept and uninterupted. I love to take the time to build trust through gentle interaction and patience, especially with the skiddish ones (my own included). Furthermore, I am always prepared to respond calmly and responsibly in case of any emergencies.

About: I have experience dog walking through ........ and Wag, along with growing up with dogs and walking medium-sized dogs in the past. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and focused on safe, calm, and reliable walks. I work full-time, so I incorporate pet care into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for weekday evening walks and more flexible on weekends, and I’m also open to short, occasional bookings or drop-ins when needed. I plan my schedule in advance so I can be consistent and reliable for clients. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I focus on safety, leash control, and making sure dogs feel comfortable during walks or visits. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and adjust the pace accordingly, whether that’s a calm walk or a more active outing. I’ve also grown up with a chihuahua and currently spend time with a toy Maltese puppy, so I’m very familiar with small dog behavior and care. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for.

“Super communicative, always sends pics and was the best sitter for our golden retriever pup and was super understanding of the puppy growing pains especially for a demanding breed. Would absolutely have Ami sit Desmond again in the future”

“Jonathan was great and super communicative throughout the whole trip. Felt our pups were well taken care of!”

“Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.”
