About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“Deena went above and beyond — making sure our dog Simba was comfortable, well-fed, and well taken care of! It meant the world to us to have Simba watched over while we enjoyed our hectic wedding without any stress. Thank you Deena ❤️”
“I have never boarded one of my two dogs, and I'm glad the first time was with Greta. She was accommodating and let my boys on the couch, which really made me feel like she was welcoming them into her home. I would definitely use her again.”
“Alexis is the very best! I hesitate to leave this review because I don't want her to get so busy she doesn't have time for my boy Chase! Chase loves going there and being with her other furry friends! What a blessing to have found Alexis!”
“My pups spent this past weekend with Annette and sweet Ethal. This was their 4th or 5th visit. They love it there as evidenced by them not following me to the door when I went to leave. Thanks Annette I really appreciate you.”
“Sarah and her sweet family are amazing!!! We left our golden retriever with them for a long weekend and Sarah sent pictures and updates the entire time. She is full of warmth and love and the perfect Sitter for anyone!!! We will definitely use her again!”
“Erin was very nice, professional and easy to get a hold of. My boy Opie can be quite a handful and Erin did a great job with him. I could tell he got plenty of exercise and play time as he slept for two days straight when he got home! Thanks again, Erin! We’ll be back!”
