About: I treat each pet as an individual first, catering to their specific needs. I provide care, attention, and of course, love as if they were my own friends, hoping that they will be soon. Rover is my current focus; your pet will receive as much attention as they need. With a flexible schedule, I can come to you or have them come to me. There's a large unfenced back yard, quick access to the river, and nature walks on Belle Isle. I provide a clean and well thermoregulated house for the hot summer months, with a room dedicated just for the pets, though not restricting them to the room.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available.

“Jonathen took excellent care of Coop. He was communicative and set up a meet and greet before Coop’s stay. She was so tired she could hardly stay awake! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Jonathen in the future.”
