About: With years of experience caring for our own dogs, I treat every pet like family. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable with puppies, seniors, and special needs. As a recent graduate with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Your pet will get my full attention every day. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow routines closely, provide plenty of supervision, and ensure pets always feel safe, loved, and stress-free.

“Jaime was amazing with my dogs. He made sure he took time to understand their needs and what my expectations were. He was great with communication and punctuality. My dogs are a little unruly, but Jamie handled them like a rockstar. Would recommend Jaime for pet sitting or dog walking - can tell he really cares about the well-being of the pet.”



“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”


About: My love of animals started young, with a dog and a frog! It lead to two cats and lots of love. From a young age, I've taken care of my own pets along with my neighbors'. I have endured puppy and obedience trainings and can help with those skills as needed as they align with your preferences and style. I have an active husky mix so I am constantly on the move with her! I have a flexible work schedule and can work your routine into ours as needed. Since I live in an apt, I am not able to currently host more pets but happy to provide care in your home! This is usually best for animals when parents are gone. I will clean and leave the place spotless!

About: I grew up with different breeds and sizes of dogs from a Chihuahua’s to Mastiffs. I volunteered at Humane Society’s with my mother when I was younger. And my step mother and I also participated in Animal Rescue with friends and family during Hurricane Katrina. Fur Babies are family and should be treated as such. Plenty of exercise, feeding, grooming and play time will be provided. Long walks to help get rid of the zoomies and to breathe the fresh air. Rest assured I will treat your loved ones as I treat my own. Special needs such as medicine or and treatments can be given as well. I’ve had plenty of dogs and cats with health issues that had to be closely monitored. I’m patient and hard working and will do everything I can to provide the best service for your loved ones. This is my main source of income so I have open availability to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of. I make a point to not overlap my scheduled clients so that way I can give your full undivided attention. Although they will know you're not around, I will make sure that they feel as much love as they can until you're home to take back over. Although I do not do pet sitting at my home, I am very willing to do so at yours. I like to take notes and have written down information to make sure that your pet's routine is as similar to what they're used to as possible. I know how stressful it can be for them when their loved ones are away. So whether it is medication, feeding, walks, play time, I want it to be as least stressful of a situation for them as possible. So that way you are able to come back home to the happy healthy baby that you know and love.

“Lisa goes above and beyond anything we could have expected. We have 3 dogs and Lisa has been walking them twice a week for about a month now. She does a great job with our puppy, giving her lots of positive reinforcement, sending us updates on her progress, and putting up with our constant changes to the routine. She’s also great with our senior guy. But where she really went the extra mile is with our grumpy, emotional, sassy chihuahua/jack russell mix. She spent the first few visits just sitting across the room from her, tossing her treats and going her pace. She was incredibly patient and after a few visits, Seneca now adores her. We are so grateful to have someone to take care of our dogs who we can trust everyday. It gives us such peace of mind! We plan to book Lisa for all future dog walking and dog sitting.”

“She was so sweet, he looks so happy on his walk and it was a huge peace of mind while at work with the sick kiddos! She went well and above instructions and it was nice hearing from her before and afterwards. He looks so tired out from all the physical and mental stimulation which is just what he needs! Thank you so much.”


About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, but I had my first dog 19 years ago. I am very comfortable scooping poo, litterboxes, cleaning up vomit, and checking for abnormal bowel movements and eating habits that may be from stress while you're gone. I'm great at reading a dog and cat's body language, so I am patient about letting them control the speed at which we get to know each other. I love going for walks, and am used to handling dogs on leash that may get reactive to people, dogs, cars, etc. I've worked with horses in the past, so I can handle a large animal getting excited. Most importantly, I want your dog or cat to have fun! let's play! I work freelance from home, so my days are very flexible. I can do mornings, midday, and evenings very easily. Mon-Sun, and most holidays I am in the Ann Arbor area I will ask where your pets favorite safe spaces are in their home, where they like to hide, where they're favorite treats and toys are. If your dog just needs to romp in their backyard, I'll follow whatever your home procedure is if they need to be cleaned up after or not. I'll also keep an eye out for indicators of stress: vomit, accidents inside the home or outside the litterbox, scratches or bites on furniture, destroyed toys, etc.

About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats! My mom also had a pet sitting service and we would always help her out. I am responsible and detail oriented, and will do my best to make you and your pet comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable and to make the experience as stress free as possible for both you and your pet! I also have First Aid/CPR certification for cats and dogs through the American Red Cross. I spend time at home with my kids. We will make sure to make your pet feel right at home! If you have a dog we like to go out and go for walks. We moved into this property two years ago and have a fenced in yard. The neighborhood is safe so walks with your dog won’t be an issue either.

Maria & Augustin A.Star Sitter
“Maria kept our dachshund for us during a four-night out of state trip. She paid such great attention to him, I don't even think he missed us! She was very dilligent following his feeding schedule, and I know he loved all the cuddles and kisses he got. I would choose her first every time my pets needs outside care.”
