Pet Sitting in Okemos

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.

“wonderful thoughtful kind thorough patient attentive detailed sitter ! will definitely be hiring her again for future trips 💜”

“Cheyenne was very communicative while watching our kitties and I enjoyed reading her detailed report cards after each visit. All three cats seemed very relaxed and comfortable when we got home”

“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”

About: Along with a lifetime of owning and loving my own pets, I spent five years working at a veterinary clinic and I’m extremely comfortable handling animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read behavior, stay calm, and make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, compassionate, and confident working with pets who may be shy, energetic, or still learning. Being around animals has been a big part of my daily life for years, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and care they need. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to build my day around their routine so they get consistent attention and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, check water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for pets who need medication or extra attention due to illness. My five years at a veterinary clinic gave me a lot of hands‑on exposure to animals with different medical needs, so I’m comfortable following instructions, staying calm, and making sure they get the care they need to feel safe and happy.

“Julia was wonderful. Checked in on my cat and I'm grateful for the mail retrieval. Bonus point: Caly seemed to think her company was stellar!”

Keith W.

“Our dog Muffin is small but “opinionated” (AKA barky) and she loved Hailey immediately. Hailey’s communication before and throughout her visits with Muffin were awesome. I really appreciate her care and consideration for Muffin, especially during the holidays! Will definitely be trying to book with Hailey in the future!”

“Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.”

Sandy W.

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

Megan W.

“Cortney was so professional! She was amazing with my dogs and she was always in contact! I definitely recommend Courtney and I would use her services again!”

About: I have a dog of my own named Suzy, who is an 8-year old rescue! She tends to be quite reactive, and has also dealt with neurological issues, so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all temperaments, abilities and ages. I’ve also had family dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience in medication administration, basic care like feeding and walks, and socialization. I’ve also volunteered with my local Humane Society and a non-profit that raises and trains future service dogs for veterans with PTSD. Lastly, I have experience pet-sitting cats and guinea pigs, so I’d be happy to look after your other pets as well! I will be graduating from MSU this spring and sticking around East Lansing throughout the summer before I go to law school. My schedule will be very free and flexible the entirety of May, June and most of July, including holidays! I currently cannot have any pets stay over at my house because my rescue Suzy is reactive, but I would love to care for your pets in their own spaces! For all visits, I will ensure your pets are always well-cared for while adapting to their specific needs. For walking, I will make sure to complete routes and distances appropriate for your specific pet based on your own experience with your pet.

About: I used this app heavily in college and have a lot of experience with walking, boarding, and having them at my apartment! I don’t currently have any animals but everyone in my family does :) I have a full time job 8am-5pm Monday through Friday so I am available either before or after! It also is mostly remote so I am pretty flexible I live in an apartment currently. There is a small dog park which I love taking the dogs to! Also, love going on walks. If I am at your home I am pretty flexible with whatever is needed.

“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!”

About: I grew up with golden retrievers and have watched neighbor’s pets since I was 14. I just recently graduated from veterinary school and am waiting to start my job. I can handle basic at home medical care for your pets and can catch signs of illness to bring to your attention. Your pets are in good hands! My class schedule changes daily, but I am available most afternoons during the week and am available most weekends. Please just let me know when care is needed and I will try to figure it out. I cannot board any animals as I have my own cat who can be wary of new animals in the home, but I am happy to stay at your home if needed.

About: I grew up as a kid taking care of our family dog, taking her on walks, playing with her outside, and all the other things that come with dogs. I now have several cats and play with them, clean their litter, and everything that a cat needs and loves. I eventually would love a dog of my own one day and want the experience to prepare myself! I work at a school and have the summer off, so I currently have all the time in the world and most days and times available. In my home, I make sure to give all of my pets attention throughout the day. When they want pets, I give them pets; when they want to be left alone, I give them space. They come to me for love and affection and I love them with my whole heart.
