Kayla was an outstanding house sitter while I was out of town. She took great care of my animals and sent regular pictures and updates to keep me informed. She left my space clean and organized and I couldn’t even tell anyone else was there when I got home! Book with Kayla with confidence she will take great care of your pets and is incredibly respectful of your space.

Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Mabel and Marty. She stayed at my home for 10 days while I was away, and I could immediately tell when I got back that they had been so well cared for. They were calm, happy, and clearly engaged while I was gone — which says everything. Charlotte is incredibly sweet and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She kept my house completely spotless, left the kindest note, and even had calming music and a dog channel playing on the TV when I arrived home so the dogs were comfortable and relaxed. It was such a thoughtful touch after a long trip. I felt totally at ease knowing my dogs and my home were in such great hands. I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.

About: I have been lucky enough to have cared for dogs from all ages, breeds, and walks of life. From raising my own since they were puppies, to caring for them to the end of their lives, I have always put their physical and emotional well-being first. While I have had many pets myself- hamsters, rabbits, fish, and birds- my dogs have been my favorite, and dog-sitting for my friends has been a highlight for me, especially since my soul-dog died last year. I have experience working with puppies all the way through senior pups, and I look forward to taking care of YOUR pet(s), so that you can have peace of mind while you have to be away from them. Right now I'm looking for life to slow down a bit, so at the moment, I am completely invested in pet care. I am hoping to build relationships with new families, and become YOUR favorite caregiver! I do have a commitment in Detroit from 10:15am-2pm on Sundays, but am happy to drive to your home and back to ensure continuous care. I cannot do overnights at homes where people smoke inside. I treat clients' pets and homes like they are my own- with the utmost love and care! I remain in specified areas, am quiet and respectful, and ensure the safety of all pets. I'm attentive to the needs of the family, especially any dietary restrictions of the pet(s).

About: Hi! You just found your dog’s new favorite auntie◡̈ I’m currently a student and working from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety & happiness of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.

About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.

About: Hi! I’ve fostered both dogs and cats throughout all four years of college, including caring for sick pets and administering medications when needed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—so much so that my family genuinely thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I’m currently a medical student and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and truly love providing a safe, calm, and affectionate environment for them. I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening routines, and I keep my schedule light when I’m caring for a pet to make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a cozy, clean apartment in a very walkable area near the DIA. My building is extremely pet-friendly and even offers dog treats in the lobby. I provide a calm, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, so your pet feels comfortable and at home.

Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!

About: Hi, we're both animal lovers who grew up with great pups! Theresa grew up with golden retrievers (Magellan and Rowan) and A.K. grew up with an Old English Sheepdog (Seymour). We both have experience with dogs from puppy to senior. Growing up, A.K. also dogsat for multiple families in his neighborhood. Theresa is a runner and would love to (with your permission) take your dog for a fun walk, jog, or adventure to the dog park. If your pup is more of a couch potato, A.K. will be their best friend. Our friends and family have lots of dogs so we're comfortable and familiar interacting with various breeds of dogs (Pugs, Poodles, Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Bernedoodles just to name a few). **We require a 2 night minimum for bookings besides for repeat clients** We both have some flexibility to work from home and are organized, diligent, and honest. Due to the nature of our careers and just having built a house we know how key customer service, safety, and communication are and we're always available by phone, email, text, app, etc. Our home is close to Midtown and Downtown Detroit and we designed it with our future dog(s) in mind! We have a dog wash in our mud room, a fenced in back/side yard, and a dedicated lit, sleeping/crate space on the 1st floor under the stairs (kinda like Harry Potter!) Our home has central air and all flooring is tile so any fluffy dogs will stay cool during the warmer months.

Bre did a wonderful job watching my boy Angus and house sitting all weekend. She was very communicative and sent me regular pictures. She brought in my ridiculously heavy amazon box! I would not hesitate to hire her again to watch my dog. Having someone like Bre house sit allowed me to enjoy my weekend getaways that much more.

Zaria was such a gift! She went above and beyond caring for our three cats—two of whom are on medication—with so much love and attentiveness. The house was spotless when we got home, and the cats were relaxed, happy, and somehow getting along even better than before we left. She’s kind, reliable, and just a joy to work with. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!

I was a little worried bc as much as I love my pets, I know they are not easy to take care of so the fact that Olivia and my babies got along tells me how great she is.

Abdullah was a great sitter for my old pup, had prompt communication and pictures, and followed the notes for feeding and walking times. My dog is older in life, about 75 lbs, with limited use of his hind legs and takes daily medication. Abdullah was able to maneuver him into his wagon, help him while outside in the grass, and take care of any accidents. It was a great experience working with Abdullah from initial communication about the booking to post trip follow-up.
