Caring Dog Sitting & Boarding
Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Winnie is a lover of animals. She is a HUGE lover of cats and she will definitely show you 35 pics of her own cat. She is an Occupational Therapist during the day that largely works with the senior citizen community, it works perfectly though because she is an old soul with a funky tune. She will love your furry, or not furry, family like her own in the time she has them.
Winnie took wonderful care of our German shepherd, Pearl, while we were out of town for the week. Since then, she regularly sits for us and I don’t trust anyone else with her. She was attentive to her needs including medication needs, took her on several walks each day, brushed her daily, and played with her outside in her fenced in yard. She was on top of sending us photo and video updates of our girl throughout the week. I would highly recommend Winnie’s pet sitting services to anyone!
I have been using Rover consistently for walks and boarding for many years. Winnie is an extremely loving and devoted pet owner who shows a lot of compassion and care for my dog Rue. Rue is now ten and has health issues and Winnie has been really supportive and gentle. I would trust her to watch Rue. She also has an elderly cat of her own with some health issues so she knows how to manage complex issues with pets as well as senior animals.
Winnie was so helpful when I had to leave town for a week. She sent me updates with photos, and even cleaned out the pet bowls regularly. The litter box was clean when I returned home! I'll gladly book again!
Winifred was great with Ruby! She was responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Ruby was clearly well cared for, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’d definitely be happy to have Winifred watch Ruby again. Thank you!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.
A typical day
I’d love to keep dogs active and happy with long walks outside in the morning, afternoon, and evening, plus plenty of fetch and playtime! I also enjoy giving treats/supplements as directed, lots of pets and affection, and keeping them mentally stimulated with attention and interactive play.

- I’d like to know about any difficult or unusual behaviors, medical diagnoses, medications or supplements, allergies, special diets, and feeding instructions. It’s also helpful to know their exercise and stimulation needs, triggers or fears, bathroom routine, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable.
