House Sitting in Lansing

“Crystal was spectacular with my dog, Blueberry. He is pretty shy, but she was able to work with him easily. She sent so many lovely pictures and updates, and they for sure enjoyed each others company. I would definitely book Crystal again if Blueberry needs a sitter!”

About: I am an experienced dog handler currently working for a doggie daycare. I have also grown up owning and caring for both cats and dogs. I am extremely happy working with pets and can confidently perform everyday care. I currently work part time Thursday-Saturday, but I keep my schedule flexible throughout the rest of the week. I have my own transportation and manage my time efficiently. I currently live with and care for three cats: Fez, Chris, and KitKat. I have experience living with multiple dogs and cats at a time, so chaos is no issue. I can follow any feeding and activity schedule, give medication, and perform hygiene and grooming tasks like baths or trimming nails.

“I have witnessed the unconditional love and care that Marissa has towards animals of any kind alongside a deeper form of concern and attention to detail when it comes to an animal's overall well-being. Growing up, Marissa was an individual who looked past an animal's demeanor into their overall health, constantly checking on their diet, injuries, and exercise habits. Recently, Marissa has been the one in charge when it comes our dogs, Pebbles and Lefty, in regards to their medication, health, and overall lifestyle as they grow older in age. This attention to detail and responsibility concerning pets applies across the board. An example would be our two hamsters, Mira and Tilly, who she took care (feeding, cleaning, playing with them, etc.) until their natural end. To anyone who wishes to leave their pet in the hands of a considerate, knowledgeable, and responsible individual, I vouch for Marissa.”

“Kaylee did an amazing job watching after our senior dog during our recent vacation! She is experienced and professional, communicated well, and was able to administer some eyedrops our dog is currently receiving. We are especially grateful because we booked a little bit last minute, after another boarding facility had canceled on us due to over booking. We started as a stressful situation a few days before our vacation turned out being the best scenario! Our dog stayed in the comfort of our own home and had amazing care. We will definitely book again!”

“Gabby was wonderful! Communicative, prompt, and responsible. She sent me lots of pics and updates so I was very reassured. She really seemed to enjoy spending time with my cat which made the whole experience pleasant . I will definitely try to book her again.”

About: I took care of my dog, Macie (in profile picture), since I was 11 years old. We were both "pups" when we rescued her and truly grew up together. Macie was a medium sized boxer-beagle mix that was a ball of energy. Made for fun times and sometimes a steep learning curve. She was a quick learner though and it made me a better teacher. I have also been a dog-sitter for neighborhood dogs, including two larger juvenile brothers. And finally, I developed a special-bond with my sister's dog, Rory. Rory unfortunately had a very rough start to life, which left her completely terrified of the world around her. She needed a gentle touch (figuratively, because she wouldn't literally let anyone touch her). Slowly but surely she wouldn't run away when you came nearby and she started to open up to the idea of giving this world a second chance. She is now a happy teenager! All of that is to say, I understand that all dogs with their own care needs and personalities and I love the process of figuring out how to make each individual's day better. I am currently independently studying to become a web developer. Which means I make my own schedule during the week. Happy to walk and drop-in anytime Monday through Saturday. House Sitting is available any day of the week! I can be flexible with most weekends if given a couple of days notice. Currently have lots of availability between 7am-11am and any time after 3:30pm. Would love to added some regular walks or visits during that time, but happy to accept one-time requests as well! I am happy to visit your home and walk around the surrounding areas. If given permission, we can expand that range to car-rides and local trails as well. I am extremely attentive and my top priority is keeping your dog safe. With that being the case, the only thing I will feed your dog is food you provide or treats you approve. (Unfortunately I can't bring dogs to my home or I would risk losing a security deposit)

“Sarah was very responsive and took excellent care of our cat and dog!”

“Caroline took great care of Coco and sent us pictures daily so we could see how our elderly girl was doing. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. And when we came back the house looked great… She provided us with peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away. I definitely recommend her!!”

“Kyle was our first dog sitter that wasn't family. He ensured our comfort by doing a meet and greet and a walk before our trip away. Our German Shepherd connected with him so quickly. We loved that he updated us every morning with pictures from their previous day. He has great communication, punctual, kind, and took great care of our dog. We couldn't be happier with our first dog sitter experience.”

“Summer was amazing house sitting my dog Haddie over the weekend! She took the time to learn what Haddie liked and then made sure to include those activities (playing catch and porch time) into their day. She was great at updating me on how Haddie was doing and sending me photos. Summer was very attentive and caring, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Emma was terrific. Jet did great and Emma was super responsive and a great sitter. We would book her again for sure!!”

“Chris took good care of Coco, following our directions and’s her routine. He also left the house in good order. Coco was well and happy when we returned. What more could we ask for?!”

“Sierra house sat for our large dog and 2 cats for 10 days. We came home to happy and healthy animals. She sent us regular updates, videos and photos while we were away. The updates were so sweet and made us so happy to see they were doing well. On our return, we had a flight delay and Sierra graciously offered to stay an extra night to help us out if necessary. We ultimately didn’t need her to stay, but it was such a huge relief to know she would help out if needed. We highly recommend Sierra and will book with her again.”

“Gizem is great with pets! She’s watched my dog Mocha multiple times in the past and has been great with her! She’s responsible and keeps you updated.”

“Maggie was great when she came and spent a day and a half with our young dog and two cats. She provided regular updates and made sure we knew everyone was doing well. She also left the house spotless. Would absolutely book with Maggie again.”

“Alexandra is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog more than once and is very responsible. She will take care of your pet like it is hers. She is a very reliable and she will take great care of your pet(s).”

“Claudia was amazingly professional and attentive to my two senior cats. I had to go out of town for 9 days and she stayed over, taking great care of them. For shorter trips away, I usually have friends stop in to check on them, but the cats are always stressed out when I get back. This time, they were pretty normal when I got home despite the longer time away, clearly having felt well taken care of the whole time!”

“Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future”

“Serena is the sweetest! Very communicative and we got lots of great pictures and videos of our little guys. She took great care of both our pets and our home. Your pets are in good hands with her!”

“Georgia was FANTASTIC with our crew for the two weeks we were away. I felt completely confident in having her in our home, caring for our most favorite family members during our trip and would absolutely book her again. We came home to happy, healthy animals and a sparkly clean house. Great communication and photo updates were a huge bonus too. Thanks Georgia!”
