Dog Sitting in Lathrup Village

About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!

“Jillian did a wonderful job checking in on our cats and administering medication to our Meeko while we were away for the holiday weekend. She provided detailed report cards and took the most adorable pictures! Jillian was always very responsive and communicative throughout the weekend and we felt happy and at ease knowing our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely rebook her!”

“Caroline took great care of my cat during a weeklong vacation. She followed all my instructions and sent regular updates. I'd definitely hire her again!”

“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”

“Samantha was incredibly responsive and offered to come meet our dogs before any services were booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She took extra care with our rescue who needed a bit of extra support and was flexible in walking our other dog solo. We really enjoyed her updates and pictures from the visits.”

About: When I take care of pets, I treat your home as my own and go above and behind to treat your fur babies as I would my own. My compassion and work ethic make me a perfect candidate for any pet sitting job. I work full time in an office but am very used to taking care of pets in other people’s homes. Due to my work schedule, weekends are best since I am able to spend more time with the pets. However I am totally fine with commuting from other homes to my office if that works for my clients. I figure out what each pet needs and I act accordingly. I treat clients’ home (and their pets) as I would my own: respectfully and with great attention and care. I believe it’s important to be open and communicative with my clients to establish expectations with both the home and the pets.

“We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!”

“This is the second time I’ve had Lavina watch my cat and I will continue to do so in the future. Very dependable, communicative, and my cat loves her!!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time and have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Tuesday, anytime before 10am on Wednesdays, after 1pm on Thursdays, and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have found a lot of joy in spending time with dogs, whether that be walking, playing or just hanging out! I work part time currently so I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to stop by multiple times a day if needed—whatever keeps your pup happy! Making sure I’m aware of my surroundings and prioritizing the pet’s safety is always first. Being conscious of where we are, what risks may be posed, and what kind of animals are around is something I stay aware of.

“Audrey was great! She did everything and more and it was great to be able to have someone like Audrey take care of Zooey. Would definitely use again!”

“Casey did a great job with Ember breaking her iut from hiding and being shy to where she was excited to come see her!”

About: I've raised and cared for my baby dog Lola also known as lolanaptimepartygirl since I was 10, pets have always played a very important role in my life. I love animals of all kinds and ages having 4 senior dogs of my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect as they are not only friends but family, and it is truly an honor to get to exist in a world where we are able to connect with and care for such beautiful kind creatures. I work a part time job that's pretty flexible so I'm relatively available whenever. My schedule changes weekly so just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! I have a fenced in yard and gates that are available to be set up throughout the house. I am also able to crate your pet if needed.

About: I'm Mark, and I've been caring for animals since I was a kid. If you need someone trustworthy to care for your pet look no further. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I currently work in project management, where managing schedules is my forte. I'm single and spend most of my time being active. Getting your dog walks or care will not be a problem, as I am very flexible. My parent was a canine handler for the DEA, so I grew up in an environment where training, trust and safety with your dog was paramount. I live in a condo in Royal Oak. My neighborhood and surroundings are very walkable with dog parks in the area.

About: Hi!! My name is Maggie and I am a 20 year old who loves all dogs! I have three of my own at home, and have experience with more aggressive dogs. I am available to walk, play, feed, and stay with your pups! One of mine is just a puppy too who is going through hands on training so I can implement my skills in this field as well!! I have plenty of time to see your pups! I work part-time and play hockey but have lots of wiggle room! Available for most occasions! Being that I have 3 dogs in my home with my brother, it would be more beneficial for me to come to you. If you do need daycare, with permission they could have play dates! I can pretty much do anything from coming in for a walk, to feeding them, to staying for longer periods of time as needed.

About: Hi, my name is Carla. I am a 29-year-old Occupational Therapy grad student, marketing professional, and animal lover! I’m located in Royal Oak centrally close to a lot of neighborhoods. I am looking to pick up work to get some time outside more and make some extra money for school. I have always had a pet in the house! Growing up I had a cat and a dog that I was responsible for. I’ve lived with dogs recently, and I currently have my own cat. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer boarding or care at my current apartment, but I am happy to do overnight stays if needed in the client’s home. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I work full-time online so if I needed to work from a clients house or take my lunch break to do a dog walk all of these options are very easy for me to navigate. I would like to do a few dog walks or pet check ins a week, including weekdays or weekends and potentially an overnight once or twice a month . I will not be having pets at my home, but I am very mindful of pet safety whether that be on a walk or at a client’s house. I will ensure to know the temperament of the animal before I arrive. If the animal is afraid of me, I will contact the owner and reevaluate the situation so as to not add additional stress on the animal. As a general rule of thumb when walking a dog if another dog is approaching us, I will cross the street and I always make sure that if I am taking the dog out outside, they are on a leash or in a fenced in area.

About: I have owned pets my entire life. Raising 3 kids, we have always had at least 2 pets in our home at a time including dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles. With having more free time, I have the flexibility, love and patience to help others with their animals I have been at stay at home mom for over 20 years. I have 2 kids in college and an 8th grader, so I have a lot of time and flexibility helping pet owners. I am available 7 days a week. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so I would only be able to go to your home to care for your animal.

“I could not recommend Alaine enough. She was excellent with communication (cute pics/vids of our little guy, how her check-ins went with him, just all the things). She took excellent care of our cat and he clearly loved her so much!! I definitely recommend reaching out to Alaine for help with your pets, because she clearly has a passion and love for them. Thank you, Alaine!! We definitely hope to work together again soon. :)”

“Took good care of our pups!”
