Pet Sitting in Howell

“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”

“Excellent! We had such peace of mind while we went away and Jess dropped in on Moose. She is terrific with dogs and we will definitely reach out again and again!”

“Kerri did an excellent job caring for my cat. I’m very grateful for her professionalism and caring nature. I will definitely ask her to watch LilBit again.”

About: I have been actively caring for my family’s dogs since I was 10 years old, meeting their needs through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. My experience includes administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and even helping a dog recover from a toe amputation. I’ve loved my pets through every stage of life, and I’d be honored to give that same care and attention to yours. I’m comfortable managing the needs of multiple pets and have a gentle, patient approach with shy or timid animals who need a little extra reassurance when their family is away. With me, your pets will be cared for as if they were my own. In addition to dogs, I’m happy to care for small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule while you’re away. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 7-5. I’m available for evening care and over night stays during the week with pets who do well with being left alone during the day. On weekends and holidays, I can offer full-time care, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely so their routines stay consistent and stress free. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like family by keeping doors and gates secure, using leashes or harnesses as directed, and always supervising outdoor time. Whether it’s administering medication or offering extra cuddles, I take every step to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for until you return.

“Jill is the best! She goes above and beyond. I’d recommend her many more jobs. I’ll leave more up to date reviews soon. Athena loved her butt rub! The attention she received from Jill made her very comforted!”

About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own and have been volunteering with a dog rescue for approximately 3 years. This involves walking various size dogs at various ages, training, handling at public events, and foster care. I also have some knowledge regarding medical care for basic issues. I currently work in an office setting so my availability is mainly Friday-Sunday and if needed after 6PM Monday-Thursday for a potty break or walk. I care for my three dogs in various ways based on their needs. I utilize crate training/treat reinforcement/basic commands and do my best to remove any negative habits where applicable.

“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”

“Rachel was amazing with my 2 dogs. She took great care of them and I would absolutely use her again. I felt so much better about leaving my dogs for a few days knowing she was looking after them.”

Megan P.

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Dawn’s services. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent photos and updates with each drop-in visit that made us feel confident our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to using Dawn again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years—both my own and pets of family and friends. I have three cats at home who keep me on my toes, and I recently lost my soul dog who I had an amazing 15 years with. I have experience from my personal life caring for a senior dog who needed lots of love, patience, and daily medication. I have previously pet sitted for dogs of all sizes and personalities- ranging from pitbull puppies, havenese's, german sherpareds, and greater swiss mountain dogs. I also have experience with cats, goats, birds, rabbits, and rats. I also have been volunteering at the animal rescue, Rescue Ridge for about 9 nine years weekly and have experience socializing abandoned/traumatized/feral cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to know your furry friend is safe and cared for, and I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and communicative with owners. Any request is not too much to ask, it shows you care. I can accommodate any instructions, dietary restrictions, and boundaries communicated. Feel free to reach out with any questions/inquiries and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I recently have gone back to school full time for my masters and will be available any time as long as I am not in class or at my internship. I will be very transparent and flexible with my schedule during communication and requests! Pet safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs and always follow owner instructions including feeding routines to medication to preferred walking routes. My mantra is I do my best in every avenue in my life to apply empathy met with competency. I will be patient with your animals while being a responsible and safe caregiver. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with messages, pictures, and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy. I also make sure all walks are safe, with proper leashes and harnesses, and I’m mindful of other dogs, traffic, and weather conditions.

About: What sets me apart? I’ve been fostering puppies for years and have two dogs of my own (7 & 4 years old) who are my world. Your pup will be loved like family! A little about me… I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3, and during the pandemic, I began volunteering with a local dog rescue and I still do to this day! I also had the chance to foster several wonderful pups during that time. Dogs have always been a part of my life, but it was when I got my sweet Lulu (who’s now 7 years old!) that I truly fell in love with learning about training, structure, and creating a happy, balanced environment for dogs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️

“As always, Madison is absolutely amazing with my cat. He loves her! She is prompt and sends the best pics. She is so trustworthy and highly recommended!! She has become my sweet Oliver’s regular sitter since I travel quite often.”

About: Growing up with at least 2 dogs in my home since childhood, I have a soft spot for all dogs and am always willing to do whatever is needed to see the goofy smiles on all dog’s faces! Grew up with larger energetic dogs, no breed is too much for me to handle. I’m currently a full time college student home for the summer. I work long hours on weekends, but am very flexible during weekdays for both day visits and overnight care. I am strictly an on site sitter and cannot bring dogs to my own home as I do not have the proper yard or living space to accommodate your dogs to the full potential. Having experience pet-sitting in previous clients’ homes, I am always cautious of other’s property and boundaries, as well as the animal’s boundaries.

“Catherine was awesome with Luna! When I got back Luna was happy. She was well fed and had playtime with her favorite toys. I'll definitely use Catherine again. 🐾”

Leslie M.

“Very friendly, reliable and professional. I will be using her again.”

“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello, I’m 27 years old. I am excited to join and meet members of my community in need of someone that’s caring and trustworthy to look after their furry family members! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I like being outdoors and consider myself as active, so I will encourage exercise. I want your dog to get the physical and mental exercise they need, allowing them to have fun and feel safe, but will also meet your dog where they’re at. I will go the extra mile for your dog or your cat and will love them as my own. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working full time but look forward to any opportunity when I am available! I prefer early mornings and late afternoons - after 5pm. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I will follow the exact directions you communicate to me and give them everything that they need to feel happy, healthy, and safe.

About: Hello my name is Antonio. All my life I have been surrounded by cats and dogs. I love playing with animals and taking them out for long walks. Also, I am able to administer any oral medication or treatment needed for your furry friends!!! I am a middle school special education science teacher, so during the summer I am free. Mondays are my long days but other than that I am pretty much free any day of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, and I give them the proper care they deserve. I have a mini fenced in backyard but I may do walks around the block. I am able to provide separation during feedings, and any accommodations that are necessary for your loved one to feel happy and safe.

“Made the appointment, was flexible with the time, she worked great with my dogs - my one that I thought I needed to “introduce” to her ran over and immediately gave her affection”

About: I’ve had my own 110 boy for almost 6 years now. He is the baby of the family still even though he is the big brother to two human brothers 😊 I’d treat your pet just like my own. Im currently home after working and then being a stay at home mom. I’m looking for something I genuinely love and care about. This is that. I have a big backyard where my dog loves to run and sniff all the animals and smells. He’s trained off the leash. I also have a fenced in deck where my dog loves to lay down and sun bathe.
