Sydney did a great job watching our dogs. It’s probably the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog sitter. She is dependable and reliable. She sends pictures and communicates often. She made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation. 😁

Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.

Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!

Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 11, caring for my childhood dog all the way to age 16. I have 4 year and counting working in the veterinary field. I'm comfortable caring for older and more medically complex friends if needed. I recently moved to Michigan from Maryland and am settling in to the new normal. I'm currently working part-time and Im very flexible and open through the week, especially holidays. I currently have two cats and a dog and I'm always happy to call another one part of my family. I hope, beyond providing for their basics, I'm able to get to know your pet.

I cannot speak highly enough of Haley. I have high standards for my own dogs’ care and Haley exceeded them. She was communicative, thorough, and I was able to enjoy my weekend away without worrying about my dogs. I will absolutely book with Haley again!

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for over 30 years. Animal husbandry is my passion. Understanding animal behavior is crucial and I insist on a meet and greet to ensure we are all compatible. I am retired and have an open schedule to meet the needs of your favorite fur baby. I’m currently at a time in my life where I want to spend more time with animals. Being retired frees me up to do just that. I live a simple quiet life now and would enjoy sharing my skills of caring and loving your family fur baby. At the clients home is my preference. I feel your pet needs the security of their own familiar space and home when you are gone. Also to have all their treats and toys and beds allow them to interact with me in a safe environment. Walking playing and snuggling 24/7 when you are not home is my goal!

About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I’m working part time on the weekends but I’m available all the time Monday through Thursday. On weekends I usually work up to 3 4 hour shifts so I still have time to take care of pets! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.

Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.
