Pet Sitting in Okemos

“Marissa is an outstanding and reliable person to be offering her impeccable services in the EL area. We had a quick trip that we had not planned, and Marissa was quick to answer- even with the short notice! She’s very attentive to ensure that if you’re leaving an animal at home for a couple of days. That not only is your pet taken care of, but they have not gotten into any pesky business while you’ve been away. We always think of Marissa when it comes to animal services!”

About: I have always had a pet of some sort in my life, as I have always been fascinated by animals, and am even in my third year of studying zoology at Michigan State University. When I was younger, I would pet sit for multiple neighbors in my area caring for dogs and cats. In high school I volunteered at a local cat shelter in my town for two years and grew to love taking care of animals. I got a job at a veterinarian's clinic last summer and worked with hundreds of cats and dogs and learned so much there. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and even elderly dogs/cats. I love animals and pets, this is my passion, and I cannot wait to meet yours! I am a current college student studying zoology, so I have at least one class a day during the week and am free most weekends as well. I usually have free time in the evenings and would be available many early mornings as well to check in on your pet. I will always respect your space and clean up any messes made when caring for your pet. I will make sure your pet gets taken care of, fed, takes a bathroom break, and most importantly gets lots of love and attention while you are away. My number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while you are away.

“Lori was amazing! She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took photos of our cats every day and let us know how they were doing, and also made sure to bring in our mail. Very friendly and considerate. Highly recommend!”

“Heather provided drop in service for my two boys. It was so nice to get pics and updates on them and I could enjoy my weekend without worry. I’ll definitely invite Heather back of she’ll take care of them in the future!”

“Michelle did a great job; she came when she was scheduled to and sent us pictures. It was peace of mind for us that our cat was okay. He was fine when we got home and very happy to see us!”

“Taylor was amazing ! She was so attentive to the needs of my pup while I was out of town for the day. She had no problems with making sure all of my requests were met and gave my pup so much love and attention! I’ll def. be using her in the future! Thank you again, Taylor!”

“Faith is a wonderful and took great care of my cat while I was away - on short notice too! I would highly recommend her if you ever need a pet sitter!”

“Hailey did a great job with our dog, Luna, and cat, Izzy! She showed up on time, gave regular updates, and Luna and Izzy were both calm and happy when we got home. We will definitely ask Hailey to come sit again!”

“Julie took excellent care of my intense kitty! By the end of the week she had him completely won over. I came home to an unstressed cat and orderly house. Her communication about each visit was thorough including video and updates on his behavior and overall mood. I could not have asked for more.”

“Jamie is an energetic dog loving person that will absolutely wear out your high energy dog. He's beaten me several times in 5k races WITH a dog. He's as reliable as they come.”

“Caitlynn is a compassionate and knowledgeable pet caregiver. She is responsible and detail oriented. She has worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments. She is an aspiring vet student with considerable animal experience, both in and out of the clinic, so you’ll feel comfortable knowing she has your pet’s best interest at heart!”

“Elle watched my dog, Chauncey, for a week while I was abroad in Europe. Chauncey is a pomsky (Pomeranian-husky) and loves to run. Elle kept in touch with me while I was away and sent me photos and videos of Chauncey playing and walking outside, making sure that he got a lot of exercise! Upon my return, my house was just the way I left it and Chauncey was well taken care of. Elle was very trustworthy and I would definitely hire her again to watch Chauncey if I go on another trip!! Definitely recommend her!”

“Madeline has been caring for her family dog for years. She’s loving and patient with pets. Madeline is also a vet responsible person. I would trust her with my dog and home when I am away,”

“Very happy I found and hired Karen. She put my mind at ease having her care for my Bella baby. Bonus is that she's a retired RN. She really cares for the pets she takes care of and treats them as if they're her own. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Damoan did an amazing job watching my cat while I was away! From interacting with her before the drop-in visits, I could tell she would prioritize his well-being.”

“We were so lucky Colleen was able to fill in the spaces during our vacation when our daughter was unavailable to watch our dogs. Our dogs responded well and she went above and beyond when one of them had an accident. Highly recommend her services!!”

“We are so thankful to have Allie’s help! Very big fans. Thank you for everything 😊”

“Jessi has cared for our Charlie since she was eight - spending mornings with him before school, short days with him while we were away, as well as caring for him and our home several days in a row. We rely on the best when we can’t care for our own pet, so we choose Jessi.”

“Morgan was very helpful, flexible and understanding when helping to take care of my kitties. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Kerry did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties! One in particular is often skittish and warmed right up to Kerry :-)”
