About: I have always grown up with dogs. Our family had a senior dog who lived until almost 17 years old, so I have plenty of experience with older dogs! I also have a rescue from Detroit now who is my baby. I am a nurse! So, I work three days a week, but I don’t have designated days. So usually I would need at least a couple of days in advance. I do have my schedule for work booked out at least six weeks. So I can be very very flexible apart from the days that I do work. I will treat your pet the same way that I would treat mine! I will always have eyes on them and make sure that they are safe and happy to see you when you get home!

“I had a broken foot so I couldn’t walk my dog. Allie saved the day. My dog is not yet well trained but she’s sweet. Allie got along great with her and I’m sure my pup is going to miss her. I look forward to booking with Allie again. She’s lovely and kind and my willful dog made a new friend. Thanks again Allie!!”


“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”


About: I have been caring for family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats for 15 years. Walking, feeding, administering treats, administering medications, grooming, vet trips, playing, and all of the snuggles. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day; Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with a little weekend availability. I do apologize, but at the moment I am unavailable to care for your pets in my own home, as I have two cats of my own and no fenced-in yard.

About: I have worked with animals and have used pet care facilities before and know it is hard to find trusted dependable care. Understand life/work happens and there is always need for pet care to support them with. I am available Monday through Friday days. Evenings for Monday through Thursday. Weekends for sitting overnight. Able to come over to check on animals or feeding time. I have trained two puppies from 4weeks and on that were part of my household. I have a dog that was found in Eastern Market area and have worked with resource guarding.


About: I have had multiple dogs growing up my whole life. I always pet sit my family's and friends's pets over vacation or just casual summertime work! I am a well trusted gal who just wants some extra pups to love on! This will help feed my dog obsession until I can adopt some more in the future! I just want to make sure your pets are taken as well of care as my own when you're away! I want you to feel comfortable that your pets are safe and happy with me. You'll be happy you chose me for sure, I know it! I love to run and play, and sometimes just snuggle. I know they need a lot of attention, and I am here to give it to them all they want! I am currently working as a mental health therapist. As I am on the search for my own pet that I'm allowed in my home, I am taking up some some work for pet walking and sitting over the weekends! I am pretty flexible during the week for drop ins and walks. I’m sure we can find something that works for your schedule! I currently do not offer in home pet sitting services as it is not allowed with my current apartment lease agreement. Hopefully in the future I can!

About: I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, parakeets, and bearded dragons. I know how important it is to be able to trust the person the person caring for your pets, and I strive to provide clients with peace of mind when they entrust their animals to me. I am a grad student and am not working full-time, and so have ample opportunity to care for your pets. I am happy to provide care every day of the week. I have had pets all my life and have lots of love to give. I believe pet-sitting is more than just feeding the cat or letting the dog outside; I love playing, providing lots of pets, and giving your animals as much love as they will accept.
