Dog Sitting in Lansing

About: Hello pet parents my name is Octavia (i prefer to go by my middle name)! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MORE THAN JUST DOGS AND CATS SUCH AS CHICKENS AND DUCKS !! I am military and I am able to access base when needed. I am 21 years old and I LOVE animals!! Due to my Army career I live in a loft with my wife, my dog. Taking care of animals is my calling! I have now been in the Army for three years. I joined to further pursue my college education and become a veterinarian in the future. I am extremely passionate about the care that animals receive. I have volunteered for lots of shelters since i was young to learn all about animals and their needs, so it is my duty to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of. Being that i worked with a lot of trained animal handlers, I have experience with animals who have many special needs such as diabetes, aids, cancer, seniors, etc. I also have experience with many different ages and breeds of dogs/cats. I previously worked at a groomers and volunteered at a pet shelter. At both establishments I fed the animals, bathed them, played with them, and took them out for restroom breaks. | love to stay active so I go on a daily walk/run and I would love for your pet to accompany me. I have plenty of room in my schedule to spend quality time with your pet. This would include going to the park, play time, and even cuddle time! While you are gone from your sweet fur baby, I will be available for communication 80% of the time. I am more than happy to send updates on how your pet is doing upon request. Anything that makes you and your pets comfortable I am more than happy to do. The less stress there is for you and your fur baby the better! I am here for your needs!! I am extremely excited to be pet sitting again as l did this before I joined the military. I work from 9-5 for the time being until my shift changes but am truly excited to be able to rush home and care for your pets. I will always keep you updated on my schedule being that my hours change every 3 months. I have a dog and a kitten right now and I constantly do research on their diet and behavior and their well being to make sure I am giving them the best possible life that they deserve.

“Took on a last minute request for a drop in and was very accommodating. She took plenty of pictures which reassured me that my pup was taken care of. She even topped off her water before leaving her. I will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Skylar was AWESOME. Our two dogs and two cats had a great time despite their normally shy demeanors. Everyone had a great time and we were able to enjoy or vacation knowing the dogs were happy at home.”

About: I feel I am great with interacting with animals. I make sure they are shown love when I am with them and I make sure they are well taken care of and in a clean area. I will be a college student and will use my free time to make sure your animals are cared for. Some days I may not be able to but I will do my best to make things work. Our dog is treated with love. She is like a human in our home. She eats with us at the same time and gets to play and hangout with us wherever. We take her on walks and we make sure she is loved.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a young boy. Recently got a border collie in January of 2018! I love dogs! Book now won’t regret! I am a full time soldier. I am usually home after 4pm on weekdays. Am Open on weekends. Book now and you won’t regret it! I don’t have a yard but there are plenty of trail around me. I usually take my dog to the park on weekdays. Long walks as well!

“Amber is Awesome with my dog and my cat. I was recently out of town for almost 2 weeks and came back to find them healthy and happy. Amber will always be my first choice when it comes to drop-in visits for my loved ones. Thank you so much Amber. Sincerely, Justin”

“Jessica did a phenomenal job looking after my clowder. She went above and beyond looking after my fur kids. I could not be happier of her awesome care while I was away and knew the cats were in great hands.”

About: I’ve never known a time during my life when I didn’t have a pet. My family had several dogs and I even owned some exotic pets. My current doggo is Kali, a five year old Bernedoodle. As somebody who is highly empathetic by nature, I connect really easily with animals. For this reason, family and friends always trusted me to take care of their loved fur friends. I work well with young to old pets, and am accustomed to very gentle training and care with lots of love. This is my full time gig. I’m autistic, so being around animals is both therapeutic and what I enjoy as I find it to be much less stress inducing than work that requires socialization. I also have a special connection with animals as I’m a very empathetic person and read energies well. I have a yard and a friendly, trained bernedoodle that works very well with other dogs. She’s been in training and daycare since she was a puppy. Your pets are more than welcome to have a playmate if they’re friendly as well. I also have a large crate if your pet needs kenneled. I give pets constant attention and honestly spoil them, so to me they are just another family member.

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.

“Fantastic job, she kept me updated on my cats while I was away. Also when the power went out, she went right over to make sure they were safe and put my mind at ease! Thank you”

About: I’ve cared for dogs ages ranging from newborn pup to senior. I am prepared to bathe, walk, groom and tend to your dog’s individual needs. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings! Currently staying with family in VA and seeking work! I am an early riser and prepared to stay the night if need be. I look after my roommate’s cat at home and make sure to keep doors locked behind me at all times. I’m ready to protect your pet with the same attention!

“She was great! She went above and beyond caring for our kitties. She was very flexible and attentive. She is our new go to sitter! We would recommend her to anyone seeking a caring sitter!”

“Christa was amazing! 10/10 I would recommend to someone else. She was communicative, and above and beyond. I will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need a house visit.”

About: I have 10 years of experience dog walking for an animal shelter as a kid/teen. From that, I have learned how to interact with many different types of dogs and cats with different personalities and behaviors. I have been walking dogs, pet sitting, and caring for animals for over 10 years now. I love all animals and am very responsible. I will be very dedicated to taking good care of your pets! I have house sat for many families including dogs, cats, and birds. I enjoy large dogs and cats, but am open to caring for any and all animals. I am willing to walk dogs as far as they need. I aim to provide a sense of normalcy for animals when they are away from their owners. I am currently working 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday), so I have Friday and weekend availability to help care for pets! I also have some evening availability depending on the day. I will always strive to make animals feel safe and loved in their home and provide care that makes them feel as if their owners are still there. I want to make animals feel like they are receiving enough attention and are comfortable while under my care.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. My family always had dogs, cats, and even a parrot. I have two dogs of my own now, a cocker spaniel and German shorthair pointer. Both are wonderful with other dogs and look forward to play dates if you need boarding. Animals love me because not only do I love them but I respect them. I respect their space, I pay attention to their body language, and I know when they are uncomfortable. It’s important for someone caring for your animals to have common sense but also be smart around animals to protect themselves, and your animal from other animals. I have experience with big bully breeds, small dogs, large dogs, old dogs, immature energetic dogs, puppies, and even dogs that don’t like other dogs or people. I prefer to care for animals that are good with people and patient with strangers. I will not put your dog in a situation with another animal where it will be harmed, anxious, or uncomfortable. You can trust me to make sure your animals are fed, happy, and healthy while I’m around. I have trained many puppies and understand the many tricks they can do to reach something to chew on. Our animals deserve the same care and attention we give humans (if not more). I’ll happily send you pics while I drop in to visit your babes. I work full time but am able to stop in on my breaks or when you need me to during the day, around my schedule. I am happy to board week days and weekends as needed and as available. I have a large fenced in yard that your dog will enjoy, as well as two pups that love when other dogs come to stay! I can happily crate your dog if needed and will feed them by your instructions. They will be happy, safe, and healthy. It is important that they are good with children as I have two.

About: I have a lot of watching dog experience and walking! I love all animals! I look forward to taking care of your dogs! I have had dogs in my life since I was born! I always gotta have one! Whether you have a small or giant dog, I am here to help you with what you need. Thanks for reading. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your pet sitting/walking needs. Maybe, I’ll get to tell you about my pupper Nelson! He is my minature poodle, love him! I can’t wait to hear about your dog and where you got them, etc... I love the outdoors so don’t worry, we will have a great time enjoying God’s creation! Thanks for reading, have a blessed day!

“Anabeth was a very good cat sitter for my Molly, sending pictures daily of her playing and very sure to tell me when she had a concern for her! I would recommend her and definitely will be using her in the future when I need to go out of town!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 and truly enjoy caring for animals of all kinds. Back home, I have two puppies who I absolutely adore, but since moving to Kansas City for school, I miss being around pets every day. That’s why I’d love the chance to care for yours—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 and have always loved caring for animals. I have two puppies back home that I miss dearly, and since moving to Kansas City for school, I’m excited to spend time with pets here. My program is mainly virtual, with only a few hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. With years of experience and lots of love to give, I’ll treat your pets like my own. Safety is always my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on your pet at all times. If I’m hosting, I provide a clean and pet-friendly space, remove hazards, and ensure constant supervision. I’m also comfortable handling leashes, crates, and any special instructions you have so your pet stays safe and happy.
