Dog Sitting Pontiac

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life whether it’s my family dogs, volunteering at the pound, or watching friends dogs. My wife and I love dogs, but aren’t ready for our own yet. I am a corporate pilot with a lot of time at home, so I am trying to fill that time with something I love! I am a corporate pilot that averages 10 days worked per month, so I have 2/3s of the month at home. The days worked vary what days of the week, but I am looking to fill my time with something I love. I am very patient with animals. I don’t treat them like a pet. If Im watching them at my apartment, innovation hills park is next to me for walking. There is an enclosed dog park to let them run and even a dog bath station if they get dirty. If I am watching at your home I will be respectful to your home and rules that you provide. I’m an avid walker, so walks aren’t a problem. I would never take a dog on a walk in the summer without bringing water for them.

About: I have had many different dogs since I was young, mostly larger dogs but a fair share of smaller dogs as well! I have a 15 yer old chihuahua, an 18 year old cat, and we rescued an 8 month old mixed breed dog! I can work with larger stronger dogs and smaller feisty dogs, I can work with high energy, low energy and senior as well!

I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and an indoor cat, both dogs are kennel trained and w have an extra kennel for a visitor, if in your home I will follow whatever instructions you leave.

Now that the weather is more ideal and my little one is getting bigger I’d like to start helping families in need again. I have a wonderful 6 year old Great Dane and a 3 year golden retriever. I also have a 15 month old son so ALL I ask is your pets are good with other dogs and children. We have a nice fenced in back yard, and I’ll be home all day with them. I can stop by for a few dog walks a day, please keep in mind my child will be with me so I ask your dog is child friendly and okay with strollers!

“We travelled and asked Arden to visit our place to take care of our cat during our absence, while following up on the cameras. Arden was there every scheduled day, fulfilled her duties, sent us reports and spend some time bounding with our cat ( which is temperamental to say the least ), so it does not fell so lonely/ depressed. We could travel with peace of mind. We really recommend Arden to take care of cats.”

“Samantha was incredibly responsive and offered to come meet our dogs before any services were booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She took extra care with our rescue who needed a bit of extra support and was flexible in walking our other dog solo. We really enjoyed her updates and pictures from the visits.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.

“Kristin is AWESOME!!! I needed someone to help give my dog his insulin shots while I was traveling out of state and I could not have found a better caregiver than Kristin! She was very accommodating, punctual, gentle, caring and my dog was very happy to see her! Moving forward she is my go to person to care for my pets when I have to travel ?”

About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.

About: I've been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. At one point, I owned two cats and two dogs simultaneously, giving me plenty of hands-on experience managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. Currently, my partner and I have two dogs: a 2-year-old Husky/Staffordshire Terrier mix and a 10-year-old Staffordshire Terrier. Through training and daily care, they have become well-mannered companions who are leash-trained and respond to a variety of verbal commands. Because I have my own dogs at home, I do not offer boarding services. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits and house sitting, which allows me to give your pets my full attention while my partner cares for our dogs. I am also experienced in caring for pets with medical needs. Over the years, I have cared for animals with health conditions including kidney issues that required frequent bathroom breaks, accident management, and extra monitoring. I have also cared for a diabetic cat that required daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable administering medication and following specialized care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I will treat them with patience, compassion, and respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I'm an animal lover through and through (although reptiles aren't really my specialty!), and I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. 🐾 I work in person Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and remotely on Fridays. On remote work days, I can provide extra companionship, supervision, and walks for pets who enjoy having someone around throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet's individual routine and needs. Whether your pet requires extra attention, medication, frequent potty breaks, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help. I welcome all inquiries and am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe the best pet care starts with clear communication, so I appreciate detailed instructions and maintaining an open line of communication before and during every booking. Whether your pet has specific routines, behavioral quirks, medication needs, or favorite walking routes, I want to know all the details so I can provide the best care possible. I currently have two dogs of my own with my partner, so I do not offer boarding in my home. However, I am available for house sitting, overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Staying in your pet's familiar environment often helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent while you're away. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

About: I love and care for all types of pets. I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 14, but I learned how to care for pets at home from a very young age. I grew up around dogs and cats, and my family has always had at least two pets at a time. I recently graduated with my master’s degree and started working in my field. My job is hybrid, with 50% of my time in the office and 50% working from home, so my schedule is currently very flexible. I also love hiking and exploring new trails! I’m excited to have my own puppy one day, but in the meantime, I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby so you can enjoy your vacation or work trips worry-free. I understand that every pet has different needs, and every home has different rules. I will make sure to carefully follow all safety instructions and house rules while caring for your furry baby/babies. My schedule is very flexible because I work a hybrid job, spending part of my week working from home. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make time to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety is my biggest priority. I have been watching dogs for a few years now, and one thing I notice is every dog owner has their own definition of what safety looks like for their pet. I always try my best to keep the routine that the dog owners have already established for their pet, so that the pet does not feel unsafe or stressed.

About: I absolutely love to care and play with dogs! Throughout my time working with dogs I have given dogs medicine and now have special experience of watching them and caring for them. I have a dog of my own he is an Old English Sheepdog and lives with my parents. I have cared for cats and other animals throughout my life as well. I must note that I love big dogs and have experience with extra large dogs including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and Dobermans. however, no matter the size of your dog or puppy I’ll take special care of them, from Great Dane’s to Basset Hound’s to Chihuahuas! I am good with puppies and with older dogs. I do my best to give oral medication if needed. I would love to be the one to take care of your fur baby and can be flexible with scheduling! I am currently a college student in Detroit. I have classes 3 days a week. When I confirm a booking I commit to staying with the dogs as much as possible. I care for pets outside of my home by making sure they are comfortable with me, playing with them but knowing when they are aggressive or not. I also give some very good scratches.
