Dog Sitting in Okemos

“Jamie was excellent!! I have never used a pet sitting app before but Jamie made me feel so comfortable and I could tell from the meet and greet that my cat really liked her! She was so thorough with all of the check-ins and let me know how he was eating, drinking and using the litter box. She also took so many photos and videos and it was so nice seeing how my cat was doing while I was away. Thank you so much!!”

About: I have a dog, two cats, and four reptiles. I have experience with rodents, chickens, horses, snakes, fish, geckos, skinks. I am willing to gain more experience! I work at an emergency vet hospital with dogs and cats and part time elsewhere. I’m just trying to get myself into school to be a vet tech! It’s every day! I have my own and they need taken care of! They are fed and tended to twice a day. I work usually sundays-Tuesdays. We can talk more specifics! It depends on location-I’d be more flexible depending distance and work. I am in an apartment so I cannot have more pets in my home. I also have a grumpy old man dog so it wouldn’t be a good fit. I am comfortable going and letting pets out or walking them. I unfortunately can’t stay overnight at houses since I live alone with my own animals.

About: My pet care career goes back 20 years to when I started dog-sitting for Stella, the black lab across the street. Since then, my clientele has grown to encompass many friends and family members who trust me with their animals. I pride myself on adapting to the needs of clients and their pets, adjusting my approach to give custom care to your beloved creatures. I have time to care for pets throughout the day and overnight. Because I have a job with a flexible schedule, I can adapt my routine to suit your needs. Your pet's safety is my #1 priority, and I want to do everything I can to ensure you feel good trusting me with their care. I let animals approach me first and get comfortable before I go in for snuggles, kisses, or pets. I also pay close attention to the body language of your pet and other animals in the environment, avoiding any potentially unsafe interactions or situations. I actively supervise pets in my care, staying alert to any signs of danger or illness. As a pet owner, I am familiar with using the emergency clinic at MSU and the Greater Lansing emergency vet in Williamston and can get your animal there quickly if needed. Lastly, I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in the care of another person, so I respond promptly when you contact me with questions or concerns.

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. My apartment complex has a a lot of trails to walk pets. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.

About: I am available for dog walking or drop in visits over Labor day weekend. I took care of my childhood animals since I was 10. As a teenager a would walk the neighbors dogs and care for their cats and dogs while they went on vacation. As an adult I have had many dogs and cats and a hermit crab called Spidey. I have cared for Animals from puppy/kittyhood to geriatric age. I am retired and when you book me for a house sitting know that I will stay with your fur baby from the time you leave until the time you return.I have been with some animals as pass over the rainbow bridge and have comforted the fur parent. I have administered medicine including insulin to animals. Having a nursing background helps with giving meds. I am a retired RN. I am reliable and caring. Your dogs will have plenty of play time ,nice walks and lots of cuddles. If your cat is anything like mine they will let you know when they are done playing I have a large fenced in yard. Simara enjoys running and playing keep away with her orange football. Obi likes to walk the perimeter. If the owner does not have a yard I will bring the dog to my house to run the fenced yard. I keep my dogs inside just incase my clients animal dose not do well with other animals. In the summer I fill up the baby pool and the dogs romp around in it to cool off

“Shirley was available at the very last minute to let our dogs out when an unforseen situation kept us away from home for a few hours longer than expected. Our babies just love her! Thanks Shirley!”

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.

“Olivia was fantastic! My usual sitter moved recently so I was hesitant to find someone else to take care of my cat Whiskey but Olivia made me feel at ease. She sent pictures of whiskey and updates during each of her visits. She also followed directions and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. I highly recommend!!!”

About: I've had pets for my entire life and couldn't live without them! My best pet sitter traits are patience and kindness. Happy to be with dogs and cats! I work regular full-time hours, but can often work remotely if someone is needed to stay with a pet. I can do check-ins before 8 AM, at noon on some days, and after 5 PM. Weekends are generally free. I have a dog and two cats with a nice fenced yard. I do however, prefer to care for pets in their own homes when possible.

About: Hi, my name is Kaitee and I have a 9 month old black Labrador retriever. I have had dogs my entire life and have spent many weekends dog sitting and care for all breeds of dogs! I work four days a week, but I’ve built a consistent routine that makes sure my pet is well cared for every day. I plan around my work hours with walks, feeding, and playtime, and I use my days off for things like vet visits, extra activities, or training. Taking care of my pet is a priority, and I’ve found a rhythm that works well for both of us. I’m free on my days off, and I’d be glad to take care of your pet. You can count on me to give them good care while you’re busy. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any behavior preferences. I also make sure to keep the home tidy, water plants or bring in mail if requested, and provide updates with pictures or messages so the client knows their pet is happy and safe.

“Such a great sitter! Was very communicative and was amazing with my cats. She came on time for every visit and gave great updates. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Zach is a great guy. Our kitties were comfortable and happy with his care, as was I. We’ll definitely have him again in the future.”

About: I've been caring for dogs of every kind since my teenage years. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their dogs. With over a decade of personal experience, I provide a nurturing and safe environment, ensuring your furry friend receives the love and attention they deserve. **Description**: Welcome to my dog-friendly home! Located in a lovely neighborhood with many fellow pet owners, my single-family house has a spacious yard perfect for playtime. I offer a clean, organized environment where your dog will feel at home. I currently live with my two beloved dogs: an 11-year-old mini Golden Doodle and a one-year-old female Shar Pei, both neutered and spayed. They're friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs, making them perfect companions for your pet. My home also includes two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, who love animals and are always eager to play and help care for your dogs. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs for boarding or daycare. My services also include dog walking and playtime at your home. I have kennels available and love engaging with dogs through play and training exercises with treats.

I am highly flexible and committed to following your personal preferences on how to care for your fur baby, giving you peace of mind that your pet is in caring, attentive hands. My home is located in a very safe, peaceful neighborhood with many other pet owners, and I live in a good school district.

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.
