Dog Sitting Pleasant Ridge

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have a pitbull boxer mix named Pepper at home as well as three cats. I am fully experienced with all aspects of their care including walking, feeding, administering medication, spending quality time, and more. I believe in positive reinforcement only and am well acquainted with pets of any age, size, or temperament. I will do everything I can to make time within my weekly schedule to care for your pets. Weekends or weekdays, as well as overnight stays, are fine by me. I believe in patience and positive reinforcement with pets. I am also very respectful of your home and their living spaces and will be mindful of any boundaries set concerning those.

“Genuinely an incredible cat sitter. Very attentive to detail, thoughtful, and friendly. Informative and thorough Rover Cards. Went above and beyond, even offering to take our trash to curb while away. Would 100% recommend for kittens or young cats.”

About: New clients: Use this promo code for a discount!!!: NIKKIW65428 My love for animals started with my first dog Kimba, a goofy beagle. He taught me to live in the moment & laugh all the laughs. After his passing I started watching neighbors animals and my love affair with them grew. I now have 3 of my own, 2 cats & 1 dog. I've worked at a boarding/ grooming facility where I became familiar with all breeds of dogs. I have administered meds, and learned so much about temperament, and the importance of redirection. Hey there! My name is Nikki & I've been a lover of animals my whole life. I have a dog & two cats & they're my entire world. I'll treat your pets as I treat mine, with a whole lot of LOVE & care. I have worked a veterinary office & a boarding facility & have experience with all breeds. I am able to come to your home and keep your companion company. We can play a game of catch or snuggle depending on what your dog prefers :)

About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.

“Phoenix is always reliable, communicative, friendly, and obvious cares about the animals she's charged with caring for. We've used her cat visit/care services many times and will continue to do so.”

About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.

About: I have 15+ years experience caring for dogs of all sizes with various behavioral or medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medication as well as providing basic care such as walking and feeding. I have my own high anxiety Pit Mix who I adopted and have used multiple sitters on Rover, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. I am happy to send photos and updates galore for your peace of mind! I work a hybrid job and have ample time outside of work that I could dedicate to whatever your dog needs ranging from a run to playing fetch to spending some time being petted. I firmly believe that pets are family members and should be treated with the utmost care and loved unconditionally. I’m open to any behavioral challenges but ask for transparency prior to booking for both my safety and to provide the best care to your dog. I often work from home so I’m free for morning and evening walks, playtime, feedings, and/or bathroom breaks. I can often make time mid-day as well. I know all dogs have unique needs and routines so I’m happy to do whatever your pup is used to is ensure maximum happiness while you’re away. I have a high anxiety pitbull so I understand some dogs are slower to warm up to a stranger. It doesn’t bother me, I just ask that you’re honest about any behavioral quirks so I can ensure your dog is safe and comfortable.

“Chelsea was great. She really helped me out when I was in a pinch to find a sitter. I came home to a very happy and excited pup. He ran right up to me and was dancing around, I imagine he was trying to tell me about his new friend.”

“Brandon was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He went above and beyond to make sure Gable was well cared for, even picking up after his toys and surprising him with a new one! He was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly went the extra mile. I really appreciated the care he showed, and I would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend!”

Nicole K.

“Stephanie was able to step in last minute to give one of my cats medication while I was out of town. Her communication was excellent, and she took great care of my cat. I'm very thankful that she was available, and highly recommend her for any care your pets may need!!”

Jessica H.

“Angela is wonderful with our pups, her communications are extremely responsive. I trust my dogs at her home and Angela in my home to visit the dogs and let them out.”

About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Jessica is fabulous with our new Golden Retriever puppy! She came for 2 visits for her in a day, and our pup was very happy when we got home to her. Jessica sent very thorough updates with plenty of pictures with each visit, and even worked with her on some of the commands we have been teaching her. Jessica is timely, professional, friendly and very good with communication. We felt super comfortable leaving our 9 week old fur baby for the first time in her caring hands. We will definitely be using her again :)”

“For the first time I left my 4 cats with someone that I did not know at all and fore sure I was worried about it. But Alan gave me a sense of confidence when we met for the beforehand visit. Easygoing and flexible, he sent pictures and comments everyday. He followed instructions which is important. I highly recommend Alan as pet sitter and will call him back for my next trip.”

About: Hi there! Thank you for visiting my pup care profile! I have extensive experience caring for every breed and size dog, especially senior care. I have cared for 2 senior pups of my own and within the family. My last girl made it to 16! My current fav senior is named Barney and he is 14 🐾 My dog now is a young fellow, a Yorkie mix rescue who gives me a run for my money 😆 He is the cutest! As for what I offer, I will always go above and beyond to ensure complete comfort for your specific and unique furry fam member! Making sure they are content as a bee, after having spent a stroll/visit together :) I take tons of pics on my visits and truly enjoy giving updates, so you can definitely expect utmost care for your pet when I am there !

“Emily was so accommodating for our last minute booking of a drop-in visit on a holiday! I know the pups enjoyed her visit and their play time just from looking at their happy faces in the pictures! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a friendly sitter for their pets 😁”

About: Hi, I’m Rebecca and I would love to watch your dog. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for little dogs! We had a small dog for over 18 years. I understand how your dog is truly another member of your family and would care for him like a member of my own. Being a RETIRED teacher, my availability is ideal - I’m almost always home...especially for summer vacations! We are up early and I am home most of the day. On the weekends you’ll also usually find me spending time with my family and sometimes at the ballpark . But your pet will have company often. My home is located in Huntington Woods which is a wonderful city to walk your dog around. I look forward to meeting your pup and offering excellent care while you are away for work or play. I am up early for quick walks and potty breaks. My husband leaves much later or sometimes works from home, so another morning potty break is a definite. I’m usually home because I’m now retired! We are a home body family by nature, so we give plenty of attention to our guest dogs. We had a very small dog ourselves (Harley passed 3/13/23), so our yard is very carefully fenced to make sure there are no escape routes😂 Our children are older as well, so toys and snacks are not all over the floor anymore. We keep a tidy, yet pet friendly home and pets are always welcome on our couches or chairs!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I went through some obedience training with my last dog. My daughter is 13 and has been around dogs all her life as well. We would love to cuddle and play with your dog while they are in our care! We have a big fenced-in yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We are available to board your dog on weekends, in particular, but weekdays as well if they are able to be inside for a long portion of the day. We are also available to do evening and weekend drop ins and/or walks. We are very recently pet free so all our love will go to your pet! I work full-time, Monday through Friday. I do work one Saturday/month but have a day off in the week. My daughter is in school until 3:30. Depending on the time of year, she may be home by 3:45. She does participate in a fall sport and dance so some evenings we are gone for about 90 minutes while she is at dance class. Our weekends are generally very open, but we would not take a dog on weekends we had limited availability. We have a large, fenced-in yard and live in a family-friendly neighborhood. We would follow all guidelines for walking, bed time, feeding, etc. provided by the pet parent. We will treat your dog as our own.

About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 10 years! I’ve taken care of my 3 poodles for the past 10 years and recently became a new cat mom! I’ve also boarded pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding and potty routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am fully available to fit caring for pets anywhere in my schedule! I will do my best to be flexible and accommodating! I can work all hours of the day! I have 2 cats of my own who are provided with all of their necessities and most importantly an environment where they can be free to explore safely and play constantly! I care for my cats like they are my children! And I will do the same for yours.
