“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Kiara was such an amazing pet sitter. She was very responsive, and took great care of my pup. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures throughout her stay, which is always appreciated. My dog was in very high spirits when I returned home - it was clear that Kiara had treated her well and taken great care of her. We will definitely book Kiara again in the future!”

“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!!”

“Andrea and Marcus did an amazing job caring for my fur babies. I received many pictures and was updated on a consistent basis. They both went above and beyond! I highly recommend them!”

About: Trusted dog sitter with experience handling multiple dogs, weekend stays, and full care including feeding schedules. I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your pets feel at home, stress-free, and well cared for. I currently work a 9 to 5 job and have free weekends. Additionally, I volunteer at my church for a few hours on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. I have lots of openings in my schedule to care for your pets. Depending on the type of care the pets require, I usually stay at the client’s home for most of the time, except when I’m at work. I prefer to be there as much as possible to ensure the pets don’t feel lonely and receive plenty of attention.
About: Growing up I’ve always had some sort of animals in the house! I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian growing up (i’ve changed my mind since lol) but i know i definitely want to do something with animals! I recently had to leave my full time job and am looking for something different and better to fit my lifestyle! I’m available 24/7 and am just going to see house this works out! I would follow any rules in client’s house that are needed to ensure safety with pets! Making sure there isn’t anything for pets to get into, making sure gates are closed when letting pets out, engaging with the pets (providing exercise and attention), exercising pets as needed, etc.

He is off leashed trained! I am home almost all day and this is currently my main source of income.

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.
“Harley was fantastic with our Macy! We came home to a happy, well-cared for dog! We received daily texts with THE cutest pictures which absolutely gave us peace of mind! Harley is professional, sweet, and obviously loves animals. Our house was nice and tidy when we arrived home, which was a bonus. We highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs since age 13. I don’t currently have any ATM. But trying to get my doggy fix. Dogs are wonderful. I’m blessed to be able to have an opportunity to possibly love on your doggies. Due to physical reasons I’m not able ti walk to dogs but able ti let them out. I currently work full time but I’m fully remote. So my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to come to your home to watch your dogs. Due to physical limitations, I am unable to walk your dogs. But I have 15 years experience with dogs, and I absolutely love animals. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced in yard. Your dog and I would be more comfortable at your house. But if that’s not an option I will make exceptions for coming to my home.
About: I have experience with small and large animals. You name it, I’ve probably taken care of it. From farm animals to companion animals to some exotics. I’m a full time working mom but I have extra time in the evenings and weekends to care for your furry friends! Available for weekend boarding. Available every other weekend for over night stays in your home. My yard is not fenced but I do have a picket line for the pups or I can take them out on a leash, whatever you prefer. I am also able to crate if needed. Pups are allowed on the furniture and are treated like family.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life, from dogs🐶and cats🐱 to guinea pigs 🐹 and frogs 🐸. I have trained my own dogs to do tricks and also have experience working at a kennel. 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 been dogsitting for family and friends for 10 years. I work full time as a veterinary technician/Veterinary nurse. I love animals big and small. I will be working three 12 hour shifts, so I will have 4 days off each week. The days that I work will change from week to week. So just get a hold of me and we can work something out schedule wise. I have dogsat in the past. Some have had 1 dog to 5 dogs. I have watched dogs, cats, squirrels, chinchillas, and rabbits. I have a corgi, his name is Nugget and he is 3 years old. He gets along great with other dogs. So if your dog loves the company of other dogs, nugget could join in on the walks as well! I work three 12's but I am available Mondays, Thursday- Saturday! I do have a second job on the weekends and my own pets. So I would need to work around those priorities as well! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home but a clients home is perfectly fine! I do require meeting you and your pets prior to staying and require any behavior or aggression issues to be known.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family bred Australian shepherds. I’ve owned small dogs like a Chihuahua and big dogs like Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience with just about every breed of dog. I’m a pitbull lover as I currently own one. I love taking walks and giving lots of cuddles! I currently work full time in a school so I get plenty of time off including holiday breaks and summer hours. I only work 7 hours a day Monday-Friday. So I’m available for overnight care. I’m available most weekends as well. I would feel more comfortable in your home so your pets don’t get any anxiety being away from their safe place. I’m trustworthy and liable. I’ve had background checks and I have reliable sources. You pet will be in good care with me.
