Elizabeth was wonderful, she understood what I told her about my dog and how things are on her time! I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone she had only met once. BUT Elizabeth did what I explained to her and all went so much better then I could imagine. She will be her sitter from her on out! She is a wonderful person!

About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!

Cindy was great with my fur babies. She took good care of them. My one is especially needy bulldog. I spoiled him so he is definitely lots of care. I also have a German Shepard that is still young. She left my home clean and tidy as it was. I was extremely happy.

About: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online. And my schedule is very flexible, as I can study my Carnivore behavior course anyplace there is Internet. I take my pet sitting job very seriously. It's my honor and responsibility to make sure all of your baby's needs are met. I follow any instructions and always double check locks, bring in the mail and take out garbage if needed. My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

About: Hi! I’m Allie Jo, the founder of Allie Jo’s Pet Sitting. I’m 22 and a born-and-raised Michigander with a lifelong love for all things small and fluffy. I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including five years of hands-on pet grooming experience. Through my time in the industry, I saw firsthand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away—and I realized that providing that kind of care is where I can make the biggest difference. As a pet parent to two cats of my own, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet with someone else. Offering patient, dependable, and genuinely loving care is something I take to heart, and I’m grateful to be someone pet parents can feel confident relying on. As a pet caretaker I take my job serious just like any other job, and that’s why I’ve dedicated my full-time career to take care of others pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, or you’re going on a week long vacation, I’ll be able to dedicate all of my time if you book with me💕 Although I don’t offer sitting in my home, the care I provide for your pet will depend on their daily routine and what you specifically have set up for them!

Adriana was a joy to have as a caregiver for my dog! She was quick to respond, trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dog and home. He loved his daily walks and treats and I think he misses her already :) I have already scheduled her for future dog care and would highly recommend her to others.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up on a farm and we always had dogs and cats as well as other pets. I love snuggling with animals and helping them feel comfortable while their families are on vacation I have been retired almost a year and would like to do this as a way to keep busy and earn some extra income. I am available most anytime. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. They will be well cared for and very happy until their family returns home.

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I raised goats for 4 years. I have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, dogs, and puppies of all ages, including elderly pets. I am confident in the care and peace of mind that I can provide you and your pet(s). P.S. When the calendar says I'm available the whole time, it means I haven't set my availability yet. Thanks for your understanding! My main job's schedule is wildly inconsistent. I do this as a side gig, but I would love to do it more often because I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know and caring for people's pets in a way that gives their parents/owners peace of mind while they're away. Depending on the driving distance, I can provide drop-in care for your pet or stay at your place as needed. I have experience pet-sitting for pets that need medications administered/given.

Jordyn watched our two dogs in our home for a week. She did a great job following instructions and taking care of them. She always sent daily updates and was quick to respond and left the house clean and tidy. The dogs seemed to enjoy her company. I would be happy to use her again.
