Pet care experience

certified pet lover & caretaker 🐾

it's truly my pleasure to take care of fur babies for wonderful humans. I can't personally have pets right now, so it's so appreciated to be able to stop in & take care of someone else's. I love exploring & sitting for those who live near my home neighborhood in Detroit, as well as taking care of folks' pets in metro Detroit. I'd love to be your regular sitter -- let's get to know each other !

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pet, with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog’s routine is there for a reason, and I stick to it. Feeding schedules, rest time, the way they like their walk to end, I pay attention to the details you share and follow through on them. Consistency is what keeps pets calm when their person isn’t home, and I take that seriously. I’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. No news isn’t always good news, I’d rather you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My own space is calm and pet-free, so when I’m with your dog, my full attention is on them. No competing animals or chaos, but a quiet, lowkey presence that lets anxious or sensitive dogs settle in comfortably. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays happy, and you stay informed. That’s the standard I hold myself to every visit.

Please let me know if your fur baby has any specific behaviors or needs ahead of time. This helps me to accommodate and care for them the best that I possibly can, thank you!
