About: I’ve been tasked with caring for family dogs including walks since I was 10, ranging in size from little chihuahuas to large golden doodles. I have ample experience with pets that have specific dietary needs and medications. I know how to handle reactive dogs on walks, keeping them and others safe even in high stress moments. I live in Jefferson Chalmers and work part time, so I can accommodate your schedule. I’m in north Detroit and South Oakland & Macomb county frequently as well. I am happy to follow access instructions and care for your pets from the comfort of their home. Upon the first meeting, I make myself quiet and comfortable in a pet’s home so they are in charge of our meet and interaction. Between shy cats and reactive dogs, I’ve learned how to foster safe environments for all kind of pets. I hope to build relationships with pets so you can have more peace of mind leaving them in my care!
“Chauna was excellent - 10/10 would recommend. First time Chauna stayed with Mambo and everything was smooth and gave perfect peace of mind. Very responsive, lots of updates, and both dog and home were very well looked after! Thank you Chauna.”
About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.
“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”
About: I have a literal lifetime of experience with dogs. From the moment I was born to now, I've never gone more than a few months without at least one dog in my life. Most have been rescues, so I know how to deal with shy or sensitive dogs. I've even had experience taking care of dogs with special needs and handicaps, as well as seniors. Without any major obligations at the moment, I'm free to focus on taking care of your pet to the best of my ability. I'm already the primary caregiver for my own two dogs, so it's something I'm going to be doing anyway. I take the safety of animals extremely seriously. I will always seek to learn about a prospective client's specific needs and limitations. I am very protective of my own dogs- possibly to the point of excess in some cases- and you can be sure that I will extend that to any dogs in my care, regardless of duration.
“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”
“We had a great experience with Lauren. She watched our 9-year-old Lab and 10-year-old Cat on short notice and was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Lauren kept the house very clean and took great care of everything. She provided frequent updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”
“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”
“Kyra (and her doodle Chanz) were an absolute dream come true for our pup Trixie - and for us too. The love and care that Kyra wrapped around Trixie while we were out of town was extraordinary. The added bonus is that Kyra’s doodle, Chanz, is the gentlest and most thoughtful playmate Trixie could’ve wished for. Kyra house-sat for us, and we came back to a perfect house. Absolute 5 stars! We would give 10 if we could!!!!”
“Areatha was amazing with my girls! She accepted the job pretty last minute (late request by me, not a late response by her) and kept me up-to-date with photos. Even cleaned up a few litter messes! Highly recommend!”

Cassidy S.
“Cassidy has been taking care of my cats for years and she's great! She does more than just feed them and leave, I always know she'll hang out for a bit and spend time with my cats, which I really appreciate. Especially when I'm out of town for a while, I know that my cats are getting love and socialization in addition to their basic needs being taken care of. One of my cats is very skittish, but Cassidy took the time to earn her trust and win her over which no one else has done. She cares a lot about cats and always has lots of loves to give. I highly recommend Cassidy!”
