House Sitting in Independence Township

“Isabella and my pup had a great time while I was on vacation! She arrived on time, was communicative throughout the stay (with pics!), and I was able to relax knowing my fur baby was well cared for. My pup typically has separation anxiety, but I am not sure he missed me one minute since he had Isabella!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My journey with dogs started in 2001 when my family got our first pup. As my brother left for the military, I took on full responsibility — daily walks, grooming, vet visits — you name it. Since then, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, providing loving care during short stays or extended vacations (from 1 day to 2 weeks). Whether it’s cuddles, exercise, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. 🐶 Services: ✔️ In-home dog sitting ✔️ House sitting with pet care ✔️ Feeding, walking, playtime & more ✔️ Medication & special care if needed Pet care fits in my schedule for anytime after 3 Monday through Friday. I have open availability on the weekends . If you need me over night I am available. Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I offer personalized services including playtime, daily walks, gentle brushing, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, affection, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like family and can’t wait to meet yours!

“Amy Jayne was absolutely amazing! This was my first experience leaving my dogs with a pet sitter and she made it smooth and easy. She communicated and sent me pictures throughout the weekend and took great care of my two dogs! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’ve owned four amazing dogs myself—a loyal German Shepherd, a sweet rescue, a playful Pomsky, and an energetic Australian Shepherd—which has given me valuable hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. Each dog taught me how to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I treat every dog like family. My years of experience, both personally and professionally, make me a reliable and caring choice for pet sitting and dog walking I’m currently attending classes at Schoolcraft College, but I am available to care for pets Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I’m flexible within these hours and happy to accommodate your needs! Whenever I take care of someone’s pet—whether it’s just for a few hours or several days—I always treat both the animals and their home with the highest level of care and respect. I understand that pets are beloved members of the family, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I also know how important it is to maintain a clean, respectful presence in someone else’s home, so I’m always mindful of following any house rules and leaving things just as I found them. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I truly value, and I strive to create a positive, dependable experience every time.

“My pups fell in love with Jordan the instant she walked in the door to meet them! Jordan is friendly, professional and full of love for my girls. She gave me regular updates and sent photos. It was my first time utilizing the Rover app and I’m so happy we found Jordan:)”

“Grace is awesome! Grace watched our dog with severe separation anxiety and 3 cats. One of our cats is skittish and hasn't met some of our friends but came down while Grace was here and gave Grace a bunch of love! Our dog did great when we weren't with him and we were so surprised on how much Grace went above and beyond!”

About: Home isn’t just a place, it’s where your pet feels loved… Hello there! I’m, Kourt and I’m so happy too meet you and your furry friends. I’ve owned pets of all sizes for as long as I can remember, and the continuous love I’ve had for my pets throughout the years has helped me to meet many new families and their fur babies, and allowed me to help those families truly enjoy their time away knowing their pets are with someone who truly cares. I am new to becoming a sitter on the Rover app, for my past experience has come about strictly from families sharing their experience with me by word of mouth to other families. I currently have a job and will be starting school back up in August, but my job is pretty flexible. If you are need of an in home sitter and are not comfortable with me being away for up to 6 hours a day while I am at work, I completely understand! I am more than happy to provide care on weekends with a couples day notice (I’m not super busy), don’t be afraid to ask about holidays as well! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, kitty cats, large dogs, small dogs, you name it! I am able to recognize an animals body language to help me understand where I stand with your pet. Although I love to say my love knows no boundaries, I am well versed with understanding how to exist in your pets space and within your boundaries ❤️ Don’t be afraid to ask me any questions you may have! I work around 28-35 hours a week, and most days the entirety of my work shift is about 6 hours a day. I am more than happy to step away to let your pet outside to potty if you are uncomfortable with me being away for that long! I tend to have random days off during the week and weekends off for the most part, so I would be happy to review my schedule with you as long as my work schedule has come out already! I currently have a senior King Shepherd named Buddy, and a young American Coonhound named Judd that my fiancé and I care for and love! I’ve had many pets in the past, and I can truly say that I prefer to refer to my “pets” as family. One of my favorite parts of the day is putting together the dogs breakfast and dinner and watching them enjoy the healthy concoction I’ve put together! I will adhere to however you choose to run your home, and care for your fur babies in a way that reassures you they are safe and loved. ❤️

“Asher stayed, in our home, with our 14wk old puppy for 12days! We returned to a well trained potty trained and polite gentleman. Asher kept us updated multiple times everyday. He then wrote a report of all the training, tricks and how to continue the training. Asher also had an emergency in the middle of the stay and communicated through the whole thing …. Working with us to ensure our dog was completely taken care of. With a few hours he was back for the rest of the booked stay! I cannot recommend Asher enough. He is worth every penny and much more.”

About: Whether it's my neighbor's pup or a family member's dog, I love and care for all kinds of pets. As a medical student, I'm responsible, detail-oriented, and full of energy—and I bring that same care and attention to your furry family members. I lead an active lifestyle, so your pet will get plenty of movement and affection. My partner (an accountant) and I work together to ensure your pet is always safe, happy, and well looked after. One of us is always available to give your pet the care they deserve! As a medical student, much of my studying is done at home or on a flexible schedule, which allows me to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I’m often available to stop by for walks, feedings, or check-ins, and I love taking breaks from studying to spend time with animals. If needed, I’m also happy to study at your home to keep your pet company and make sure they feel safe and attended to. I exclusively care for dogs in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I’m respectful of your space and follow your dog’s routine closely—whether that means regular walks, feedings, medications, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. As a medical student with a flexible schedule, I’m often available to stay for extended periods or pop in for check-ins and walks. I love staying active, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. My boyfriend, who is also responsible and great with animals, can occasionally assist to ensure your dog is never left alone for too long. Together, we make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away.

“Courtney did a great job taking care of our dogs and our house while we were out of town. She followed all directions and made sure they got all the love and attention they needed. I would definitely trust Courtney to watch our home and pups again.”
