Top rated Okemos cat sitters
“Lori is my go-to cat sitter. At each visit with my and my fiance's cats, she takes lots of pictures and gives us a little blurb about how they're doing. Our cats know her at this point and are comfortable with her, which is major for our skittish cat. She goes above and beyond at each visit and I know we'll book Lori again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Hailey is great! She has stopped by to feed our cats as well as inject our one cat with insulin a few times now. We plan to use her every time we need to be out of town!”
“We are so glad we found Karen to watch our kitties! This was our first time leaving the cats for an entire week and Karen was great at keeping us updated. She took great care of our cats and our house and we are very grateful. We highly recommend Karen for petsitting and we will definitely be asking for her help in the future!”
“Fiona was awesome when we asked her last minute to check on our three cats for a couple days while we were on vacation. She always communicates, is very caring towards the pets, and sends lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Jean was so easy to work with and did a wonderful job with our cats. She came and met them and learned their routine prior to us being gone, and was very communicative while we were away, sending pictures and telling us what was going on. We won't hesitate to book her again to care for our cats!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
“Taylor always takes amazing care of our kitties! One of our cats needed multiple medications this time, and she went above and beyond! And our cats love her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have raised several different breeds of dogs and cats as well as worked with various people to help provide great care to many pets! I am a teacher in the fall/spring and freelance in the summers so I should have open availability whenever possible! I live nearby MSU Campus so I have plenty of space and I am nearby a good area for dog walking. I am familiar with working with energetic dogs and a variety of different cats and am willing to accommodate for any needs if given prior notice! I am more than willing to go on long walks and provided specialized care if necessary!
“Olivia has always taken great care of my cat Whiskey! She always sends photos of her while I am away which makes me feel reassured that she’s doing well. She has gone above and beyond by trimming my cat’s nails which is not an easy task.”
About: I have cared for up to 4 dogs in one home with ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I would love to discuss your individual pet’s needs to make this a great experience for you and them! As a medical student, I am always in need of a study buddy. I love to stay active and am happy to go for long walks or, if your pet prefers, cuddle on the couch! I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs in the safety and comfort of your home. Please tell me about their normal routine and I will be sure to meet their every need.
“Fay did an excellent job taking care of my two kitties. This was the first time I have ever used rover and she put my mind right at ease and let me check in on them as much as I needed to. She helped them get acclimated and treated them like her own. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am a married working Mom of three kids. Also, I’m a dog Mom to two goofy Boxers. Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve never not had pet as a companion in my life and probably never will!! I am a caring, reliable and trustworthy person. I was a dog & cat groomer for years before I was an RN. I have pet sit many times for clients. I am very comfortable around a variety of pets of all sizes. Walking several pets at the same time is something I’ve become proficient at. I am extremely fussy about the care of my own fur babies. Providing the same care and attention to your special family member is my goal.
About: Hi! I’m new to the area and looking forward to getting to know it (and your pups!) through dog walking. I have previous dog walking and pet sitting experience in Washington DC and Tennessee, and have had dogs all my life, ranging from ~5 pounds to over 150. I’ve recently relocated to the area, and I love hanging out with dogs and being outside with them. I’m hoping to fill my days until my job starts in August and continue walking on a part time basis after then. My number one priority is your dog(s)’ safety and comfort. Whether you’re looking for a once off or a steady dog walker, I look forward to meeting and working with your dog to make sure they are relaxed, well taken care of, and with someone they can trust.
About: I’ve watched pets of all kinds and all stages of life for family and friends while growing up. Dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles — you name it. I now have two dogs and two cats of my own. The dogs are trained and certified as a service dog and ESA and I have plenty experience in puppy socialization classes along with basic obedience training. I have a very flexible work schedule, so let me know what works for you! I am available both during the week and on weekends. I have an invisible fence that allows for two dogs in the yard at a time. My neighborhood is extremely safe and great for walks, with a dog park just down the road. For in-home care, I provide undivided attention and love for all fur babies.

Brittany J.
“Zeus, our big strong Doberman loves to go on walks with Brittany because she can keep up with him. He eats a special diet of raw meat with supplements and veggies and she has no problem with it. She makes sure he is well behaved in public. He loves to play and work hard and he is never bored with Brittany. Dany, our Grand Campion border terrier, loves to cuddle up with Brittany, and is always ready to go for a walk and play. Dany favorite thing to do is steal all of Zeus’s toys. Brittany keeps the little rascal in line. I always feel that my dogs get the best care when they are with Brittany.”
