“Gabbie was a great dog and house sitter! We were out of the country for ten days and I felt fully comfortable having her stay in our home and watch our dog. We came home to an immaculate house and happy pup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area.”


“Darriell went above and beyond when watching our dog and cat. The dog got skittish about walking while we were on vacation and Darriell was patient, communicative, and compassionate. She sent lots of pictures and I felt confident our animals were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”


“Hannah has watched our dog Aurora multiple times now & we couldn’t be more thankful to her. Having the peace of mind that our girl is taken care of when we’re gone means everything.”


“Brianna was great at giving updates throughout house sitting. Any questions or issues she made it know right away. I would definitely recommend and use her again”


“Randi has consistently taken such good care of not only my dogs but all my small animals. She is always available for my last minute requests and is always so friendly and professional!! I will be booking with her ONCE AGAIN!”


“Gwenyth was fantastic!! She watched my two dogs over the weekend at my house and she did a great job. We would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking whenever we travel!!”


“Nichole watched our 2 dogs & 2 cats for a week over the holidays & did a great job! Our pets are high maintenance; multiple types of food, supplements & medicines and she did a great job handling all of our requirements. Would definitely use her again.”


“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”


“Cheyenne provided excellent care for our two cats, bonded with them, and communicated updates & pictures periodically. She is very personable and professional. We will definitely rebook when we need care again!”


“Callie did amazing with my dog. She provided consistent updates and was flexible when our plans changed. When I came home my dog didn't even seem to care that I was gone 😅 I assume because she was cared for so well.”


“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”


About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

“Karley is an awesome dog sitter. She watched our dogs for two weeks while we were traveling. She stayed at our home, cuddled with the dogs, and made sure they were safe and in their routine. We will definitely keep asking her to care for our pups!”


“Lissa was great and it seemed Myrtle had a wonderful time. Lissa left the house cleaner than it was before and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. She is very independent and didn't need a lot of instruction or monitoring. She is clearly a pro! We will definitely use her again. ”


About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or overnight snuggles while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and passionate about creating a safe, happy experience for both pets and their humans. Let’s get your tail-wagging adventure started! I am a college student and looking to have something to do in my free time. My availability is almost completely open so hopefully this works well with your family needs! I will not be boarding any animals in my home, due to having pets of my own and want the best for both of our animals.

“Thalisa was good at updating us as asked, sent daily photos, and cuddled hard with my pets. She left the place clean and my pets were happy when we returned. Would reach out to her again as needed!”


About: I come from a family of dog lovers, with a dog at home my whole life. Dog parent of two 14 year old dogs, so familiar with elderly dog needs. Recently adopted a puppy and experienced with puppy training. I work a flexible schedule allowing for morning visits during the weekdays for walks or home visits. Weekend availability is limited but willing to work with you with enough notice. I have a large fenced yard with good lighting at night. We have a small cavalier/ Shih Ztu mix who is every friendly and playful. Walking is a daily activity and large area in the basement for day when bad weather doesn’t allows outside playtime.

“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Fuli, Luna, and Belle! I really appreciated the updates and the special care you gave the girls while we were away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. You truly went above and beyond! 💕🐾 Thank you! 🥰”


About: I used to work with dogs at a dog daycare when I was 19 and it really was the way I learned for my passions for animals. I really enjoy other animals as well as I’ve learned from my most recent endeavors with volunteering at a bird sanctuary in my home state and helping my grandmother raise and train her dog. I’m also no stranger to stepping in to care for cats and even pet rodents! I’m currently working part time at a breakfast cafe so I’m usually home in the mid afternoons and plan to spend a good chunk of my days doing rover services. I am very observant and wont follow or corner any of the pets I care for but I can keep a good eye on them without making any animals nervous. Safety is very important to me for both me and the pet I’m looking after.

Cheyenne was awesome! She was prompt on short notice and seemed to know her stuff. We felt very comfortable leaving Bella and our home with her. She sent updates and plenty of pics (which I really appreciate). Bella got meals on time and walks and cuddles. I will be using Cheyenne in the future, no question.

Very Happy with Nicole! She was early for our meet and greet, prompt with my questions and requests and sent pictures while we were gone. Even though the Akita was a bit stubborn while we were gone (she wouldn't come inside), she handled it well. It was good to know our fur babies were in good hands.
