About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud. Also added another furry friend to our mix, a red golden retriever, her name is Sadie. I also have four cats, one big orange tabby, a calico, and two black cats. My heart is full of love for animals and I would treat yours like my own. I dog sit for my grandparents as well, and friends as needed. I had the honor of helping train my grandmas dog and Finn as well. Simple things like learning to sit and stay but still important! I am currently home for the summer from college. I attend Ferris State and will return in the fall. So, I am just looking for a part time gig for the summer! Besides one vacation in June I am completely free for all potty breaks, walks, etc during the week. I have two dogs at home if a stay at my home is needed, I have leads available for use as well. We also have a fairly large crate used for our golden when she was a puppy, so your pet can be crated if necessary! My pups are very friendly and would love the extra company! I also have no problem staying at a clients home if that makes things easier! I have reliable transportation and have an SUV to take the pups to the park or anything like that! I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.
“Sarah is amazing with our kitties. We have worked with Sarah on several occasions. She is so caring, attentive and a phenomenal communicator. We feel so much better about leaving our kitties knowing they're in good hands with Sarah!”

About: At the age of 14, I started dog sitting for my neighbors’ dogs, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how much I enjoyed it. What began as a simple favor quickly turned into a passion. Over the years, I’ve grown more dedicated to caring for animals, and it has become something truly meaningful in my life. I love what I do and take pride in providing care, attention, and love to all animals, no matter their size, breed, or personality. It’s more than just a job for me—it’s a genuine passion and commitment to the well-being of every pet I care for. Schedule: I’m available Sunday through Saturday with a highly flexible schedule. I have a side job downtown Brighton, but it allows me to accommodate pet sitting needs with ease. Whether it’s popping in for a quick visit, taking your pet for a walk, or providing overnight care, I can adjust to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. As a pet sitter it is a bit easier for me to know a few days in advance or any type of trip just weeks in advance! Throughout my experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I’ve spent countless hours in clients’ homes, bonding with their animals in their familiar environment, which helps build trust and comfort. Over time, I’ve not only earned the trust of the pets but also their owners. My number one priority is ensuring that my clients feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. To achieve this, I always offer a meet-and-greet before any pet-sitting arrangement. This allows me to get to know the pets, their routines, and the owners’ expectations, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”

About: Hi !! I’m Jasmine and I’m a student at U-M so I’m available most of the entire summer. I write music for a living so the times I’m away from home will be for premieres and other things but I’ll update my availability to reflect my summer travel (which isn’t a lot). Otherwise I’m free any day. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and my childhood dog lived to be 18, so I have experience with senior pets as well. I can administer medications, I will take them on frequent walks, feed them on their schedule, and have plenty of play time. I have a loving and sweet fur baby named Blossom who is a toy poodle/ bichon frise mix. She is comfortable around dogs and cats and if anything is a little shy. She’s not crate trained so I’d allow your pet to roam freely through the house. Anything I do for Blossom is what I’d do for your baby unless you tell me otherwise, and she’s treated like a princess! I know visits away from home can be a little stressful for your fur baby, but rest assured I can handle any situation and make sure your baby feels at home. Expect many pictures and videos! I live a little bit outside of Ann Arbor but getting to me from Ann Arbor would be a short drive. My neighborhood is very dog friendly so it will be no problem! I care for my pet A LOT throughout the day, so walks, feeding, play time, anything is completely a part of my daily routine. I take Blossom on walks numerous times a day so if you have a pet that isn’t house trained yet, I think having her around will be helpful for them to learn how. If in my home, everything is already safe for pets to be there. I don’t have any carpet so I’m not concerned about pet messes, I can clean them up easily. I’m very attentive to my own pet and would be just as attentive to your fur baby. I’d invite you to come see my place before your pet’s stay to see if it’d be a good fit. If in your place, I will follow any rules you have for me.
About: My lifelong animal care, training and experiences are very diverse. I have owned, trained and cared for puppies - senior dogs, kittens - senior cats, equine and most barnyard, macaws - finches, lizards - tortoises. Currently retired and would be happy to help you out with your pets during your work week. Hamburg and surrounding area. Will consider locations farther out. Interaction throughout day; guide/train as needed. Plenty of exercise, enrichment and chill time. We have a fenced yard, secure neutral spaces in home, quiet home life and natural wooded rural setting. Daily walks on trails and country roads.
About: I’ve worked for people in my neighborhood and they love what I do and l love there pets too and I’m trusting and I take really good care of there pets. It gives me a sense of responsibility and I take it seriously and I wanna do a good job at it. And I would love to work around pets more then people and when I do it it doesn’t feel like work for me, it feels like something I love to do. I take care of my two cats by giving them a strict diet and I fallow the instructions to the letter and I make sure there litter boxes are as clean as possible so I’m always on top of things.
“Kelena was great. Proactive communication, went above and beyond when one of my pups was sick, and she really wants to get it right. Plus my dogs liked her immediately which is a great sign! Highly recommend.”

“Lyle cares for our two pooches and elderly kitty on a regular basis. He is always super responsive and does his best to help us if we have a last minute need for him to drop in our fur babies. Our pups love him and we know they are well cared for when we're not home.”

“Heather O. Did an amazing job! I came home to a happy pup. She made sure to update the app each time she was there, take pictures and even take him for walks. I will be inquiring again the next time I am out of town!”

“I recently worked with Alexandria to care for my cat, Juniper, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring Juniper was well cared for while I was away. I returned to a happy cat and a house just as I left it. The communication was excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexandria and look forward to working together again in the future.”

“We felt like our two large dogs were in the best care with Valerie. We felt with every visit she truly spent time with them and gave us many detailed updates and photos! This was the first time we went out of town and didn’t worry about them! Highly recommend Valerie for taking care of your furry loved ones!”

“Cori went above and beyond to make sure my pets got some TLC this past weekend. Despite some obstacles (power outages, life events, etc.) she still made sure to prioritize us and drop-in on our little buddies. Thanks so much for your help, Cori!”
