Callie took such good care of our home and our kitties! She was super quick to respond and sent us lots of pics while we were away. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Randi stayed at our house and watched our two dogs,cat and lizard for one week and she was excellent. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Some of our pets have some special needs. She took care of everyone really well. She left the house looking exactly as it did when we left. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our house and pets.

About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life since I was born! I love animals and enjoy helping others care for their pets while they’re away. I have experience with administering medication and inhaler for cats with asthma, caring for pets with health issues, and pet-sitting for all types of personalities. I currently work full time so I can provide walks or visits during the week after 5pm. I prefer to house sit over the weekend to spend the most time with your pets. However, I am flexible to your needs as they arise! I always make sure to be patient with animals when providing care. I allow them to set boundaries and I follow their lead. I will whatever I can to make your pet feel as safe as possible while you are away!

Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!

About: Hi, we're both animal lovers who grew up with great pups! Theresa grew up with golden retrievers (Magellan and Rowan) and A.K. grew up with an Old English Sheepdog (Seymour). We both have experience with dogs from puppy to senior. Growing up, A.K. also dogsat for multiple families in his neighborhood. Theresa is a runner and would love to (with your permission) take your dog for a fun walk, jog, or adventure to the dog park. If your pup is more of a couch potato, A.K. will be their best friend. Our friends and family have lots of dogs so we're comfortable and familiar interacting with various breeds of dogs (Pugs, Poodles, Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Bernedoodles just to name a few). **We require a 2 night minimum for bookings besides for repeat clients** We both have some flexibility to work from home and are organized, diligent, and honest. Due to the nature of our careers and just having built a house we know how key customer service, safety, and communication are and we're always available by phone, email, text, app, etc. Our home is close to Midtown and Downtown Detroit and we designed it with our future dog(s) in mind! We have a dog wash in our mud room, a fenced in back/side yard, and a dedicated lit, sleeping/crate space on the 1st floor under the stairs (kinda like Harry Potter!) Our home has central air and all flooring is tile so any fluffy dogs will stay cool during the warmer months.

Lauren went above and beyond to take care of my babies, one of whom is immunosuppressed. She sent constant pictures and updates which showed my pups over the moon with how happy they were with her. She stayed at my house with them and left the place incredibly clean. Will definitely be rebooking her in the future and would highly recommend her!

Brit was an absolute gem of a dog sitter while caring for our sweet Maybelle. From the moment she stepped in, it was clear that she approaches her work with remarkable thoughtfulness and heart. She didn’t just “watch” Maybelle — she truly cared for her, paying close attention to her routines, her little quirks, and all the small details that make her who she is. Brit kept us updated and gave us such peace of mind, which is priceless when you’re away from your beloved pet. It felt like Maybelle wasn’t simply being looked after — she was being genuinely cherished. And as if that weren’t enough, we returned home to a house that was beautifully tidied and welcoming. There’s something so comforting about walking back into a calm, cared-for space after time away, and Brit made that happen effortlessly. We’re beyond happy with her care and can’t recommend her enough. She treats both pets and homes with the same warmth and respect as if they were her very own — and that makes all the difference.

Heather is an angel in every sense of the word. She is the type of person that restores confidence that there is still kindness and good nature in our world. I received some of the cutest photos of my 11 year old pit bull in complete peace while she was caring for him in our home. She went well above and beyond to care for him, getting extra treats from the store when we ran out and just really being there with him the way I would have if I had been home. I had the most stress free time away with my family because I knew Floyd was in good hands from the moment we did the meet and greet. The house was sincerely spotless when I came home too. I cannot cannot recommend Heather enough!!

Liz is absolutely AMAZING. I have two dogs who are a handful to say the least and she went out of her way to check on them multiple times and keep them happy! She understood the difficulty of the adjustment they’re going through with me starting work and them acting out of sorts adjusting to that. They were definitely both calm and happy from the photos and feedback Liz gave me. I would 100% recommend Liz if you need someone to care and watch you fur babies!

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!

Areatha was great with my cat, Agatha. She sent photos and videos almost every day so I knew that Agatha was being well taken care of. She was very responsive to all my messages before and during the sit. When my flight home was cancelled and I had to take a flight the next day, Areatha was great about watching Agatha one more day. I highly recommend her.
