Dog Sitting Okemos

“Super thoughtful and communicative! Our cats loved Damion and enjoyed their visits. Would definitely recommend and book Damion again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I always had cats and dogs growing up, and as I got older I ended up caring for lizards, fish, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! I work a very flexible full time job, and work from home when I want to, so I am very flexible! I am able to leave work and come back whenever if I am in office (besides the occasional meetings). I am willing to come to anyone’s home to care for any pets. I am pretty adaptable! I have (unfortunate) experience with dealing with unexpected events such as skunk encounters.

“We have used Morgan three times now and she has been amazing! Our dog is a senior dog with diabetes. She is deaf, blind and insulin dependent and Morgan has been great with her! She has been extremely reliable and responsive. She has also left the house in great shape each time she has stayed over. I have zero complaints.”

“Madelyn was AMAZING! We only booked her for 30 minutes, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. In that short time, she was able to take my dog for a walk and help burn off some of his energy while I was at work. She was wonderful with communication, and I loved getting to see the photos she took of him during their visit. She also saved me with such a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was available to help with my pup! I highly recommend Madelyn! 🐾💕 Thank you so much Madelyn”

“Giada was great with my cat, Apollo. She played with him and gave him social interaction while I was gone and also administered his medication. She was very easy to work with and a great sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra support. I’m fully comfortable handling medications, bedtime routines, walks, and any daily tasks your pet needs. After years of caring for multiple pets myself, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. My priority is always your pet’s well‑being, and I’m committed to giving them calm, attentive, reliable care the moment they’re with me. I’m a Michigan State student with a flexible part‑time campus job, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pet. I don’t work late nights, so I’m able to stay over when needed and assist with morning routines. Early mornings are already part of my day, so handling walks, feeding, or medication right away is never an issue. My goal is to make your pet’s care fit smoothly into my schedule and to keep their comfort the priority every time. I prefer to keep pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. If your cat has favorite hiding spots or cozy places they like to curl up, I appreciate knowing those ahead of time. It helps me keep track of them, avoid unnecessary worry, and make sure they’re relaxed and cared for throughout my visit.

About: With 18+ years loving dogs and nearly 10 with cats, I’ll care for your pets like family while following their routines and instructions closely. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and time to sniff and explore at their own pace. During drop-in visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, medications when appropriate, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I have a very flexible full-time job in the Okemos area that allows for ease of stepping away to check-in on your pet! I understand that pet care doesn’t always fit neatly into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to be flexible whenever my schedule allows. Whether you need occasional drop-ins, care while you’re out of town, or someone to check in around your cat’s established feeding schedule, I’ll do my best to find a time that works for you and your kitty. I follow your pet’s routine closely, providing safe check-ins, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping you updated throughout.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life. I developed a unique and gentle approach to animal care as both our cats and dogs have had serious health issues. Although I am a full time student and am very busy on campus I still have plenty of free time on my weekdays and weekends. I am able to take care of animals through visits, feeding, walking, etc. I prefer quick care as opposed to sitting and boarding as my schedule does not allow me to perform these care duties.

“As always, Lori did a wonderful job caring for our cat. Very reliable and is quick to respond. She goes above and beyond. I mixed up our travel days, and booked too short. She was thankfully still available and updated the booking. She cleaned the litter box even though that was not asked of her. Will continue to use her services in the future. Thank you!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Christine! She cared for our dog, Winston, and our cat for 7 days with twice-daily visits, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better support while we were away. Christine went above and beyond—she sent photos at every visit, gave Winston extra time on his walks on several days, brought in our mail, and even took out our trash. It meant so much to us to know our pets (and home) were being cared for so thoughtfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a clean space, and had complete peace of mind the entire time we were gone. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Emily is wonderful! She took great care of my cat and provided regular and detailed updates so I knew my cat was doing well while I was away! She also was kind enough to bring my cat a few gifts, which is so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended Emily! :)”

Mary B.

“Very good with my cats. Gave my cat her medicine even when it was difficult and didn't give up!”

Miles R.

“Camrynn did a great job on very short notice from me! My cats, Harambe and Javy, looked forward to her visits and all of the pets she gave them. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Camrynn on day one!”

Melissa S.

“Olivia was great with our two dogs and communicates well with us.”

About: I have dogs since I was very little. I have also participated in the training of my dogs and always love to use positive reinforcement to make pets their best selves! I'm currently working for myself with Doordash and Rover. My schedule is completely flexible and I am open to last minute bookings if messaged directly. I am respectful of my client's home and always down for staying in and playing/relaxing with your pet or going out for walks. I also have a car and can take them to the nearest dog park or on an adventure!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Family and friends have never hesitated to trust me as their dog sitter! I’m able to work with any dog or cat, whether that be puppies and kittens or your senior animal! I’m currently earning my master’s degree in Athletic Training, so I pet sit while I complete my program. My schedule is pretty open and flexible, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate clearly about my availability so you always know when I’m available to help. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment with my fiancé, our dog, and two cats. Safety is always my top priority, so introductions to our pets are done slowly and only if everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I provide a calm, supervised environment where they can feel safe and at home.

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.
