About: Top notch dog sitting: I’ve doggy sat dogs of all ages all the way from 4 weeks old to 17 years old, tailored for your furry friend :) I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pup or kitty throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. This includes regular feeding and water replenishment, exercise and playtime, administering medications if required, maintaining cleanliness, and providing companionship and affection. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your dog is safe and doing well. 📸🐶🦮🐩🐾🦴🐈😺🩷🤳

About: I grew up with dogs, and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Genesee County in Michigan as a teenager and at Soul Dog Rescue in Colorado as an adult. I have experience walking and handling all kinds of dogs and I've loved every minutes of it! I'm a WFH tech research worker so I understand the importance of routine and responsibility when it comes to care services. My apartment complex now sadly doesn't allow dogs otherwise I would have one of my own. The silver lining is that I'll use that energy to love and care for your pup as my own :). I have a full time work from home job so my hours are flexible during the week to attend to your pup! I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space. I love to keep routines as normal and expected as possible, so I'm likely to ask questions about what your dog expects on a day-to-day basis so I can reduce disruption and be a source of fun/comfort for your pet.
“Brittany is very reliable, patient, and good with my dog. We always appreciate when she can squeeze time in her schedule for us. She takes extra precaution and care making sure Harley is comfortable and safe and her little acts of care go such a long way! We highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their loved ones 😊”

“Jess was such a wonderful pet sitter. From the first time I requested a meet and greet she was incredibly responsive. She was so patient with our skittish pup and very understanding when we had to reschedule when my daughter got sick. She went above and beyond making sure the dogs and house were well taken care of. All her efforts were noticed and very much appreciated. Thanks again Jess!”

About: Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for years — dogs, cats, and various small animals. I understand that pets have social and emotional needs as much as physical ones, and I make it a priority to give them attention, companionship, and care that matches their personality and routine. I enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel secure and engaged, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply being present. For dogs, I’m comfortable with both high-energy breeds that need plenty of activity and older pups who do best with a slower pace. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays, and I always aim to be reliable, attentive, and consistent so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays throughout the week. I like to build my day around the pets I’m caring for - whether that’s making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need or setting aside time to play with cats and check in on them. Having that flexibility lets me give each pet consistent care without feeling rushed. In a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs out for walks or playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets are safe and cared for until their family is back.
About: I have been around pets my whole life. I had a beagle that was 2 when I was born so I grew up helping care for her. I have cared for turtles, fish, and a chameleon. Currently, I have a cat that I have raised from birth. I have helped my aunt with her two golden retrievers when she needed someone to take them out during the day and feed them while she was at work or away on vacation. For the past two summers, I have cared for my uncle's 12 year-old chocolate lab when their family is on vacation. She is a senior dog that needs a little more care and consideration. I am a recent high school graduate and my summer is open. I am attending Mott Community College in the fall, so I am also not going away to school. I plan to provide service to the client at their home. I currently live at home, so I can't care for animals at my house.
“Daisy did a fantastic job walking my dog, Callie! She was very punctual, went the extra mile (literally!), and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates—it gave me great peace of mind knowing how the walk went and how Callie was doing. Callie seemed very happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Daisy and would happily book with her again!”

About: I had rescued a litter of kittens when they were only a few days old! I found them in a box and decided to care for them until they were eight weeks old. I fed them formula from their bottles, bathed them, potty trained them, and played with them for hours! I even kept one of the kittens, and named him Salem! I’ve seen it all when it comes to cats, considering I’ve technically raised one! I’m used to shy cats, lovey cats, and even the ones that are more aggressive and don’t want you around haha! I also used to foster dogs as well. I’ve had small to large dogs and even had some dogs that were deaf, blind, scared of people, or had health problems. I love to care for animals and make them feel loved and special. After all, they deserve it! I’m a Stay At Home mom! My schedule is wide open and I’m available for all hours (besides early early morning). I’m available Monday-Friday as well! I understand that your home is your sanctuary, mine is too! I will follow your directions to the nitty gritty! I can even send pictures and video of your little fur babies as well, keep you updated, and answer any questions you have!
“She was so sweet and took the time and patience to make my dog feel comfortable when she was a little nervous meeting a stranger. She also took extra precaution on the walk when they approached other dogs, because my dog has been dog reactive in the past. At the end of the walk, she asked if I wanted her to bring some packages inside for me. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Taylor has been walking my dog for a week and it’s been amazing. Taylor is very caring of my dog who has some anxiety. She takes her time and makes sure my dog is comfortable and gives great updates. Definitely will be continuing working with her.”

About: I have loved all pets since I was kid;) I normally help friends with their dogs, but I was trying to branch out;) I used to just have cats, but we added two bunnies to the mix and may adopt more. I work full time Monday-Friday at home, but I have a lot of flexibility, as long as I get my 8 hrs at work in;) I would prefer the clients home to visit. I have 3 cats and 2 bunnies at this time;) My place is relatively smaller and pets like to be in their common place.
