About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.

Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!

I had a regular walker cancel for a life interruption last minute on my midterm test day and Lukis was wonderful. It was as if they were Kronk’s caretaker for months. He was happy and I had no worries about him while I was testing. I would definitely go to them again for any caretaking needs in the future.

About: Take some time for yourself. I miss having a pup in my life, have cared for dogs all of my life, and will love your little bug like they were my own. Cuddles are endless! I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with special needs (as my last pup was very special :)). I am also pretty active so lots of attention, sniffs, squirrel chasing, and long walks will be a part of your pups time with me. Potty breaks are every 2 hours, with a last one right before bed. I will take care of your home and fur-baby like my own I'd love to help you out with your pet-sitting needs. I am happy to send pictures and videos of their stay, just let me know!!! I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and check-ins throughout the day and will happily play with them and feed them as you need I have two cats at home who are not super socialized with dogs. I keep all animals separated with the guest having free range of most of my place.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I work full time, but I primarily work nights, so I’m available while most people are at work. I also love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. We have a specific room with toys, a bed, and plenty of attention from me that’s designed for your pet to have a great stay. We have a water fountain for cats, and a large water dish for dogs, and plenty of treats and love to provide.

About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.

About: For 15 years, I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of life—boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, senior routines, and chronic care. Those years taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel genuinely safe. I bring that same calm, steady energy to every pet I look after. I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of needs, from medication schedules and senior care to helping rescues and puppies build confidence. And because I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, I send check-ins and photos so you always feel connected, even from afar. I have a flexible work schedule that makes it easy to plan my day around pet visits and walks. Whether it’s early mornings, lunchtime check-ins, or evening routines, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and keep things consistent. I already build my own dogs’ walks, playtime, and snuggle breaks into my day, so adding a few more paws to the mix fits right in. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I stick closely to your routines—meals, walks, meds, and house rules—so your pet’s day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks (I have my own Harry Husky Houdini, so I understand escape artists). If something seems off, I’ll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or loose hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we’re in a fully fenced area and you’ve approved it. I communicate often, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease as your pet.

About: My home and job are in the Midtown area of Detroit but I'm willing to go the distance to make sure your animal is cared for. Can I love and spoil your pet like they are my own? I have a flexible schedule and would enjoy spending my extra time visiting with your pet. I am not a dog owner but play aunt to a timid staffie. I am an enthusiastic professional at fetch, belly rubs, and love going on long walks. I currently own two cats and am a fantastic snuggle buddy. I have a willingness to learn and understand what works best for your pet. I'd most like to understand the things that make your pet an individual and how we can become friends.

Briggs, Detroit, MI, 48216

About: My name is Kate and my love for animals is what prompted me to enter the world of pet care. I grew up in a home with dogs and guniea pigs and learned early on how to be responsible in caring for a pet. The Humane Society was close to my childhood home, I would walk there weekly to go in and visit all the different animals and dreamed of owning a bunch one day myself. Later on in my twenties I learned what it was like to have a cat and now am a self proclaimed, obsessed with all the things cat. Currently I have two cats, a spunky Bengal named Benny and a sophisticated tuxedo baby named Olive. My hobbies include weightlifting, walking, yoga, ceramics, listening to podcasts, reading, baking and traveling. I currently work full time Mon-Thurs, 4 days a week which allows me to have, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning or afternoons available for drop-in visits or walking your pet. I currently am not able to board any other animals in my home as I have two cats that prefer to be the only pets.

About: I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or structured playtime, I ensure each pet gets the care they need. Located in a cozy apartment near several great dog parks in Midtown and Brush Park areas - looking forward to meeting some new four legged friends! I work full-time, and am free on most weekday evenings and lunch hours, as well as the the occasional weekend for walks, sitting, and boarding. Check my schedule for most up to date info. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure and comfortable environment, whether in my home or yours, and closely follow your pet’s routine to minimize stress. You can expect regular updates and open communication, so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
