“We're so lucky to have had Krystal to watch our Goldy for the third time now! She's the best, most dependable and concerned about Goldys welfare that we've ever had!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“I was a bit anxious to leave my pets for a longer time, but Sarah was great! This was my second time booking with her and everything went well. She sent me timely updates and shared lots of photos during her visits! It was nice knowing my crew was in good hands.”
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats and bunnies since I was born. I took over training them at a young age because I have the patience and empathy to connect with animals. I have trained all of my dogs to an advanced level and have experience training cats as well. I treat animals with the same dignity and respect that I treat humans with. I run my own 3d print shop and have a lot of down time during and between jobs. I can do short or long term pet care as my business needs can be scheduled around that. I have a fully fenced yard, 3 very diplomatic dogs to keep them company and the ability to separate my pets from yours for the duration if needed. I will follow all instructions left for me when entering a client's home and do only the tasks asked of me.
About: I enjoy spending time getting to know each dogs personality as they are all different. I feel it is very important to get dogs out into the fresh air for some play time. I walked 3 dogs for my neighbors for 5 years, and watched their dogs at their homes while they were away on vacation. I work part with flexible hours. I can also work from home. We have a rescue dog that comes to our office that I enjoy. I like learning as much as I can about a pets personality and temperament prior to walking and watching them. Each dog is unique and requires my understanding of them.
“Hailey was an excellent caregiver for my beagle! She was friendly, thorough, and punctual. She gave me a lot of feedback from her visits, which was very reassuring. I HIGHLY recommend Hailey for pet care!”
“His Honda was great!!! She sent pictures every time she visited and our pets looked very happy!! Both our dog & cat were happy & calm when we returned!! Will 100% be asking Yushonda back if she’ll have us! -)”
About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.
About: I grew up around dogs and have a lot of experience caring for them. I've also had cats throughout the years and currently have two of my own. I've pet sat for family friends a few times and understand how important it is to follow routines, pay attention to details, and make pets feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and giving pets dependable, loving care. I work Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM, so I'm available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, and walks before work and again after work on those days. I'm fully available Saturday through Monday and can be more flexible with timing then. I'm reliable about following routines and making sure pets get the care they need. At this time, I only offer pet care in my clients' homes, not in my own home. I'm comfortable coming by for feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and litter box cleaning while keeping pets in their normal routine and environment. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and I will always be respectful, dependable, and attentive to your pet's needs.
About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
About: My experience comes from years (starting "professionally" at 13- 22 years ago!) of caring for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I've fostered dogs, cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-pet home and has long provided pet sitting, I know how to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I’ve always had pets and come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses. Ive also pet sat starting at around age 10 and some of these jobs included birds, donkeys, and fish. I’d be thrilled with even the smallest job, no matter how last minute! I have a very flexible schedule working remotely. I can likely make anything work! I am open to any day or days of the week. My pets were always allowed free rein of our house, but i will obviously respect any boundaries in your home! Any specific instructions will be followed.
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and true animal lover with hands on care experience. I’m calm, reliable, and confident.I also have experience administering medications, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands. Im currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of extra time for your babies! I don’t mind early mornings or late nights. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect while visiting or staying in your home. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable in their own environment.
About: Hello! My name is Maggie. I’m a 31 year old living in South Lyon, & a lover of all animals; the furry, the scaled, the smelly, the shy, the rambunctious, & every animal in between. I’ve had a dog in my home since I was born. My specialty is rabbits! Rabbits are such unique creatures, & I know how to give them the care & gentle love they need. I’ve had 5 cats, 4 dogs, & 1 rabbit in my lifetime, & now, due to my living situation, I am unable to have my own furry pal. I am hoping to get my fix of animal love through this service, while also helping those who need a little help with their busy work schedule or holiday travel plans. I promise to give your pets the same love I would give my own! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a message. Thanks! As a stay at home mom, my schedule is flexible. My toddler would accompany me to drop ins, but he has strict boundaries with animals. If your pet loves kids - great! My kiddo loves animals! If your pet is hesitant to kids, no worries - my son knows he isn’t allowed to go near animals without permission. If you aren’t comfortable with my son being around, I am available Wed-Fri for solo pet care! My husband is home those days! I understand that all pets have different boundaries & quirks. If you have an escape artist cat living in your home, I will be sure to take extra care opening the doors. If your puppy is working on training, I am happy to help continue to with positive reinforcements. Upon meeting, will can go over all your pets’ needs… and their quirks! There will be no shortage of cuddles & playtime for those pets who need extra attention. And pets who take a little longer to build trust will soon find themselves a new friend to find comfort in!
