“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”

“Alyssa was great with our two dogs for the 3 nights in our home boarding. She is very friendly, played with the dog’s outside, and sent us updates on how they were doing. Would recommend to a friend!!”

“Pups seemed to have loved Kiara! There didn't seem to be any messes on the floor while we were gone, which has not happened with previous sitters! Will definitely hire her again!”
“Gabby gave us great peace of mind while we were gone for 4 days, the first time we had ever used Rover and left our dog with someone other than family! Our dog and house were well cared for and she gave great updates, often with perfect timing throughout the day when we were starting to wonder how he was doing. We have great confidence in reaching out to her for future trips!”

“Carolyn is thoughtful and attentive to both her two and four legged clients. She checks in with us and sends pics of our pups. They love when she comes to visit and we feel so comfortable leaving them with her!”

“Andrea & Marcus took great care of our boys over the weekend! We did not have to worry at all, which is a great feeling as dog parents. We got updates throughout the day to ensure all was going well and to keep our mind at ease. I really appreciated the flexibility in our last minute booking and them working together to make sure our boys were well taken care. Look forward to having them again in the future! Thanks again to you both!! We SUPER appreciate it😊”

About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.
About: I am trusted by my neighbors to watch their animals when they’re not available. While I am also trusted by two family friends to give their dogs walks and endless pets when they’re away from their babies. I currently work part-time during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m happy to accommodate dog sitting, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I can give your dog as many walks as they need throughout the time I watch them, and I am always willing to go outside and play with them for a while!

About: I have cared for pets my entire life, from watching extended family’s dogs and cats to owning and loving my own. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same care and attention that I would my own. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, or ensuring their routine stays on track, I am committed to proving excellent care and an stress-free experience for both you and your pet! I am currently working full time. However, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention and time to pet care when needed. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine! I promise to plan my day around their needs ensuring they receive the most adequate attention and care. I am available on weekends, and weekdays for sure after 5pm, but I can adjust that schedule if need be. I prioritize safety, trust, and an stress-free environment when caring for my pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home. I follow any specific instructions that are given regarding feeding, walking, medications, and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping the pet’s environment secure. I also keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos of their furry friends. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: Growing up I’ve always had some sort of animals in the house!

I spend a lot of time with my pets and would to spend time with yours too!🤗 I’m a part time college student but some of my classes are online so I have pretty flexible availability. I also work but only 3 days a week. My current pet family includes two dogs who are very good with other dogs and cats. (Although if your pets do not play well with others, they can be easily separated.) I’m lucky to live at home with my parents where pets would have plenty of space to run around and play🏡.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup. My dog, Josie, has bad skin allergies and terrible anxiety. She hates to see me leave, some times not even getting a drink or eating until I am back. I know it can be so hard to leave a pet, especially when you know they miss you so much, but I hope I can be the easement for both your baby and you that they will be safe and okay!

I am also a waitress, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work around your needs. :) I will ensure to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. My dog personally has dealt with anxiety her whole life, especially separation anxiety, so I know it can be difficult to leave a pet with a new person. I can and will follow any instructions as that you give me or leave out for me to follow. I want to make the process as easy as I can for you. I can send updates all throughout the day with pictures, messages, or even a call. I want to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and feel at ease when I come to help! Whether your baby just needs someone to let them out and play or a long tiring walk, I am here to help! :)
About: I've lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life, and I started pet-sitting for friends and family about five years ago. I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages. I'm a college student currently on break for the summer, so my schedule is very open. I'm flexible and can be available whenever works for you.
