“Alexandra is a very friendly and punctual. My dog loved having her watch him. He felt very at ease with her as we could tell by the picture she sent of him on his back and paws in the air asking for a belly rub. Will definitely ask Alexandra to watch him again.”


“Hanna stayed with our dogs for the first time and they seemed to love her based on the pics she shared. One of our dogs as epilepsy and although he did not have seizures while in her care - I trusted that she would have managed them if they had occurred.”


About: Hi! I’m Abby, a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I currently share my home with two sweet rescue cats I adopted in 2020. I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life and understand how unique and particular they can be. In 2024, I spent six months volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, and I grew up with a wonderful family dog who sparked my love for dogs. Whether we’re out for a walk or I’m stopping by to check in, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m available full time and happy to follow your routines, send plenty of photo updates, and keep your pets happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to hear from you! I’m leaving my current job in retail so I’m available full time to take care of your sweet kitty or pup! I’m available for walks, overnights and drop ins. I currently have two sweet cats I rescued in 2020 that are 4 and 5 who are my whole world. I will take care of your kitty/puppers just like they are my own.


“Mary did a fantastic job with our 1yr old cattle dog and 11yr old cat. She stayed at our house for five days and checked in frequently. She took great care of them, and also went above and beyond. She cleaned the sheets, tidied the house, made us dinner and dessert to come back to, and even bought flowers. We will definitely be going to her first for dog/cat sitting for any upcoming trips.”


“10/10 all around. I booked Breanna to stay in my house and watch my two dogs; a large bullmastiff mix, and a small/medium whippet terrier mix. Breanna came over for a meet and greet, and it was evident right away that she was incredible with dogs. My dogs usually take a little bit to warm up to new people, but they seemed to instantly bond with Breanna, which allowed me to go on vacation feeling way less guilty about leaving the pups behind. While I was away, Breanna was sure to keep me up-to-date with the cutest pics and recaps of their days. And when my return flight was delayed, Breanna was incredibly kind and flexible enough to stay another night with my dogs. She’s a true lifesaver. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your dogs, or to watch them while you’re away, Breanna is your person!”


“Lauren is awesome! Very responsive, timely, and communicative and you can tell she truly cares about The pets she takes care of. Pepper was in great hands while I was gone. they even went for a run and long walk which my dog loves! My home was also extremely clean and tidy when I got back - I could hardly tell Lauren had stayed there! Thank you so much.”


“Elizabeth watched our dogs for an entire weekend while we were away in our house. She was very respectful to our house and treated our dogs with kindness and respect. Will definitely rebook.”


About: I love animals of all kinds...cats, dogs, horses, lizards, reptiles. I grew up around large dog breeds and spent my childhood taking horseback riding lessons and playing in frog hollers. Now I have a cat of my own and would love to spend my summers off helping you with pet care, too. As a teacher, it is a joy to have summers off, and so much of my week has lots of leisurely free time. I'm available most weekdays until around 7pm. During the school year, I'd love to end my work day taking your furry friend out for a walk or stopping by to check in on them! Growing up around large dog breeds my whole life, I'm comfortable with dogs of all kinds. With a family member who works in vet medicine, I have some knowledge of pet care and pet health; including training, grooming, and dog-walking safety, and understanding pet behaviors. I also have previous experience pet sitting for friends and family, including varying feeding times and administering medications to pets. Pet safety has always been very important to me, so I always make sure my pets' vaccines are up to date, and I never let my cat out to roam outside. Dogs are always leashed, unless they are in their own private yard. I be sure to look out for other pets and animals while out to make sure everyone stays safe. I'm now so lucky to have a cat of my own who rules the house, loving all the attention in the world from her mom and dad. She loves treats and pets, and bird watching from the window. While my space is quite small for any boarding, I'd love to help you care for your furry friend by taking them on walks or helping out at home while you're away. Of course, with lots of treats to share!

“Victoria was wonderful! Kind and clear communication. Took time to meet with us well in advance of our booking so we were clear as was she. Our dog and cat were happy and healthy when we came home and we knew our house was watched over as well. Would recommend her to others and hope to hire her again!”


“If you want someone who genuinely cares about your pets and how they interact with people, Miranda is your sitter. She’s dedicated and so caring. Great person to sit and talk with if you get the chance!”


“Yadi is great! Very thoughtful, caring and respectful. Goes way above and beyond and willing to accommodate all of our house and pet's quirks! Was able to be super flexible when we needed :) Our house was very clean and well taken care of upon return! Thank you 🙏😊!”


“Amy was great with our reactive and anxious dog! It was the first time he’s stayed with a “stranger” and we were really nervous but she definitely put us at ease. We definitely will book again ?”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from loyal childhood pets to rescuing animals in need. They’re more than companions to me; they’re family, healers, and honestly, some days I connect with them better than most humans. I understand their need for routine, comfort, patience, and love — the same values I bring from years of childcare experience. As someone who has cared for children professionally, I’m calm under pressure, intuitive to nonverbal cues, and deeply reliable. I know how to create safe, engaging environments, and that carries over naturally to how I care for pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog who just needs a gentle walk and some TLC, I meet them where they’re at. Hi! I’m a college student currently doing my internship at Novi High School, working toward a career in school counseling. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, and in between my family life and my internship, I’m looking to care for pets this summer to fill my cup and earn some extra income doing something I truly love. Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve had pets since I was a kid, including rescues — and they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I believe animals deserve the same kind of patience, consistency, and love that I bring to both parenting and working with students. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, grounded, and will treat your pet like family, I’d be honored to help. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active — all while ensuring they’re safely leashed, hydrated, and secure in their environment. For cats, I focus on a calm, clean, and enriched space with fresh food and water, clean litter, and gentle affection on their terms. Whether it’s managing energy levels or giving space when needed, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust in every moment of care.

About: I’ve been around animals and caring for dogs my whole life. When I was 10, my family adopted a miniature Goldendoodle named Judge. At a young age, he suffered a serious fall that left him temporarily paralyzed. I helped nurse him back to health, and with patience and care, we taught him to walk again. He went on to live a long, happy life. As he grew older, I often came home from college to give his medicine, baths, and daily care whenever my family was away. Judge passed in February 2024, but he taught me how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and consistent, especially with senior dogs. Because of this experience, I’m well-equipped to handle dogs with special needs, senior pups, and pets that require medication or extra patience. Above all, I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. On weekdays, I’m usually available for visits starting around noon, and I’m free full days on weekends. I can care for pets at my apartment or others while I work from there, ensuring they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable, but I’m flexible and able to handle just about any situation. While I no longer have pets of my own, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a grassy yard, making it a safe and welcoming environment if needed. Your pet’s comfort and security are always my top priority.

Devere P.
“When my uncle passed away, I inherited his dog — a sweet but deeply traumatized pup who had just lost his best friend and didn’t trust anyone. I was overwhelmed with grief, and so was the dog. But Deve’re stepped in without hesitation. He showed patience, consistency, and so much compassion. He took the time to earn the dog’s trust, learning her triggers, keeping her safe, and slowly helping her feel secure again. He walked her gently, spoke to her softly, and created a calm space she could count on. Watching him care for her — especially during such a painful chapter — showed me how deeply he understands animals, especially ones who are hurting. He didn’t just help her heal — he helped me heal, too”
