“Kayla is a wonderful companion and caregiver for our elderly Maggie. She understands her needs and makes sure she gets them taken care of. She’s responsive and thoughtful always. We’ve set up a long term relationship with her because of all of the above!”
“Emily was so good to our pets. She kept me updated on all concerns and questions. We will definitely use Emily again. Our boys were in great shape when we got home!! Thanks Emily!”
“Kara has watched our cat, Cleo twice now. She always shows up on time to feed her. Kara also leaves nice notes about how she’s doing and sends me pictures every visit. You can tell she takes her time to give her a little love each time she stops in. I would definitely have her watch Cleo again in a heartbeat.”
“Mary was an incredible friend to my dogs Hubbard and Maggie. She went over and above and communicated throughout her visits. I highly recommend her services and look forward to having her sit many times moving forward. Thank you Mary!”
“From the first meet and greet Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Abigail. She took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation and provided updates and photos during each visit! We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: Have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals. We have owned our own family furiends varying from guinea pigs to dog and cats. Until we moved to the city, our small hobby farm had everything from horses and cows to poultry and goats. I have a wide variety of time available to take care of our special family. I am highly organized and can take on a wide variety of clients seamlessly so that you feel as if you are the only client. I would care for your pets as you direct. We can take walks, play, or simply take care of the bare necessities. Your requests decide how each visit goes.
“Ava was the best! We had a last minute change of plans and she was able to sit and help out with the pups. She was responsive and loving to our puppies. Will not only be using her again for future sitting but will be telling others to do the same.”
About: I am experienced walking and taking care of many different breeds, including a Weimaraner, Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Corgi, and a Chihuahua. I have also house sat for dogs, cats, and rabbits. One of the dogs I've watched had a history of seizures, so I learned how to administer their daily medication. I'm very punctual and I love animals. I've walked dogs in a lot of different weather conditions, and have no problem walking your dog regardless of what weather Michigan decides to throw at everyone. I look forward to getting some valuable time outdoors, and getting to take care of some adorable animals. I have a fairly open schedule and will do my best to accommodate clients. I am available to work early, late, and overnight as needed. I will take care of pets in their home so that they can be the most comfortable. I will follow the schedule for walks and food that their owner provides.
“Christina was so nice and took great care of our dog Hugo during the drop in visit. We look forward to her house sitting soon! We feel very comfortable that she’ll take amazing care of our house, cat, and dog when we need that in the future. :)”
About: I worked in a vet clinic during college and I studied animal science for a year and a half. I had cats growing up and hope to get a dog one day soon! We have 2 young kids right now, so we are not ready to own our own pet just yet. I am great with training and have trained my friends’ dogs and my cats. Both cats that I most recently lived with knew “up” and know how to sit on command. I am a teacher during the school year and home during the summer. I am free all summer except a trip here and there. I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible, but you can always reach out and ask! I have a big yard, but it is not fenced in so your dog would have to be on a leash. I do not have any pets, but we do have 2 kids.
About: I have grown up around dogs, along with having 3 dogs of my own since age 8, I have taken care of many of my family and friend’s fur babies! I have also recently trained the newest addition to my family. I will love your dog almost as much as you do and will treat them like they are my own! I currently work from home, therefore I can be there for your pets throughout the day! I have multiple breaks where I would be able to take the dog out and play. Otherwise we just hang out:) I am capable of caring for dogs and meeting whatever needs they may have! My own personal dogs have a fenced in yard and have free reign of the house. However I have also cared for dogs who need to be walked to use the bathroom or who need to be put in a crate. Although my profile says that I have 2 dogs, they are my parents that I have adopted as my own therefore they do not live with me.
“Another wonderful visit from Jill for our kitty. Jill always takes such good care of our kitty and he loves her visits while we are away. Her visits are always on time with lots of pictures and updates. Thank you Jill. We appreciate you so much 🤗😻”
About: I have three dogs and a Guinea pig. I have plenty of experience with taking care of pets and love meeting new friendly pets to help out I work full time 8-4 but am available on the weekends and after 4:00 on weekdays. I am also able to accommodate lunch break potty stops if needed I would be unable to take any dogs or cats to my home as we have a full house right now. But I am more than willing to stay in your home or do multiple visits throughout the day
“Michelle was excellent! She stopped by to get a rundown of my cat’s feeding routine before the dates I was out of town, and she was communicative throughout the days I was away. I felt very comfortable & trusted my kitty was in good hands.”
About: I love animals and love to spoil them! I’ve worked at a vet clinic in the past and have had animals all my life growing up! I am available mornings and after noons for walking, and check in’s, and also boarding at nights if needed. I do like to go running as well and wouldn’t mind taking a fur friend along with me to go running on the beach! Also, from working at a vet clinic in the past I do have a little experience with training. I have obtained a lot of tips on how to help train puppies with potty training and jumping and biting. I would be happy to do a little light training if needed as well. I do work full time but have a fairly flexible schedule and could be available for check in’s during the day. I am also available on weekends! I live on a private drive with lots of space to run around and my dog Sid loves meeting new friends! We also have a walking trail right behind our apartment!
About: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)

“Someone once said something about Samantha that has stayed in my mind for years. She's the kind of person that you can give a bag of money to and come back in a year, and not only will she still have all of the money you gave her, she'll have figured out a way for it to earn interest. And she'll give that to you too. I have rarely met anyone I trust as much as Samantha. Or anyone more dedicated to and in love with animals.”
