About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 19 years old I love dogs I currently even check up on my in laws dog when they go on vacation. I have a very open schedule I’m a at home taking care of my daughter and my 2 dogs. So I do have a very open schedule might as well use it. Play with them give them attention give them treats when I can take them outside take a walk on the neighborhood especially when it’s warm out.
About: I’ve fostered and house sitting cats as well as dogs multiple times. Can handle any size dog, grew up with a big Labrador myself. Have experience with giving pets medicine before too. I also speak Spanish! (The cat from the picture was one I fostered for three months) I work weekdays until 5 pm and leave the house around 10 in the e morning. Rest of my hours of the day would be dedicated to your pet. I try to gain trust in our first meeting that way we can build a relationship where your pet feels comfortable with me. I try to always give them pets and cuddles if needed.
“We cannot recommend Pete and his family highly enough. We asked them to take care of our almost 15 year old Lab for over two weeks while we were out of the country. They sent regular updates, so we felt like we knew what was going on, and they were patient and understanding of the stress she experienced as she settled in. When we came to pick her up, she went to follow Pete back into the house, clearly showing how well-cared for she was. We would happily rebook with them again!”
“Cody clearly loves caring for dogs and I think he would do it for free if someone needed it, just because he enjoys doggies so much! I know that Cody and his mom both provided great care for Leia. Thanks Cody!”
“My dog has stayed with Anthony twice now and always has a great time. Anthony is great about sending pictures and updates. The most recent time my dog stayed with him, I had an emergency that kept me from getting my dog on the scheduled day, but Anthony was kind enough to extend his stay!”
“Charlie is usually very shy and low energy but with Sabrina and Stella, he had way too much fun! We could tell clearly because it rarely happens that he has been sleeping hard for hours. Attesting to the fact of non-stop very energetic hours spent at Sabrina’s place. 1000% happy and we will be back again. Thanks to Sabrina and family”

Val was amazing! I would have been happy to know the boys weren't crying or chewing electrical cords. Val planned activities! They got to play with her beautiful Pearle and go for a walk in the woods, and get their breakfast served in amazing enrichment toys. I'm going to have to work hard to live up to this! And I got tons of precious pictures that I will treasure.Would do it again at the drop of a hat!
My dog Chase loves spending time with Chris and his dogs. He gets very excited when I drop him off and he isn't always like that with sitters. Chris is great with Chase and I always appreciate his flexibility. This time Chase needed some medication given to him twice daily and Chris was wonderful to take care of that while I had to be away. I highly recommend him for pet sitting!
They were an amazing dog sitter! They were incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process, which made everything so much less stressful. It was clear they genuinely cared and made sure my dog was well taken care of. Communication was great, and they were flexible when needed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and would definitely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!
Lauren did a great job watching our fur baby. She communicated well and sent photos and videos. I could tell from the videos that our dog felt comfortable in her home. She also took our dog on walks and played fetch with her. It was a great visit, and I would have Pattie Cake stay with Lauren again.
I was able to relax and enjoy some much needed time off knowing that Michael was taking great care of my pup. Michael’s home is clean and our dogs got along great! My pup enjoyed chillin out on the deck and made himself right at home within minutes. Michael’s kindness and flexibility gave me peace of mind so I could focus on caring for myself. We’ll definitely be booking again soon!
