“Audrey was fantastic with Dot and our home! She was flexible and accommodated us relatively last minute in her schedule. She communicated well and adapted kindly to our changing schedule. Dot would love to see her again, and so would we!”

“Kent is great! My dog is really anxious and has a lot of energy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but they became best buds right away. My dog was exhausted when I got home. The last time I had to use a dog sitter my dogs eating habits would change and showcase a lot of separation anxiety every time! This time I returned to a happy well adjusted puppy who had a great time with his best friend. My house was spotless when I returned home as well. Thanks!”


About: I am very caring and will provide a family like atmosphere. I will make sure the best possible care is given, i have been pet sitting since i was 10 years old for family and friends. I have 1 cats currently. I am a mother to a 7 year old boy, a 2 year old boy and have my cousins 7 year old daughter. I have experience with animals with social and separation anxiety . I have dealt with special needs animals as well. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure that every animal is treated as kindly as possible. I will always make sure you will not being walking in on a mess or a hyper active dog who just wants to play when you would much rather rest after a long day. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I'm usually home! I have open availability for any pet needs even if it's just a drop in potty break during the day! I have a decent yard and live in a neighborhood where I can take on daily walks to ensure excersise. I have a 2 year old lab mix named Freya who loves to be everyone's friend and will sure to keep them playing!

“Heather is an absolute gem and after how well she did we will be using her for all of our future pet care needs. When we met her our dogs immediately loved her and so did we. She is easy to talk to and had no problem accommodating our dogs special needs. We were gone for about a week and during that time I got consistent updates and photos of our animals. Whenever I messaged her to check on them she was immediately responsive. She left our house just the way she found it and our animals were all very loved and well cared for. I know it is always scary leaving your animals in the care of someone you don't know but we trusted our gut on Heather and we are so glad we did.”


“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”


“Evan was GREAT ! He contacted me very quickly regarding a medical concern one of my Great Danes was having. He was very quick to reply to all my messages and sent smiling pictures of the dogs to put me at ease. I was especially surprised to see the floors and bedding washed and clean upon my arrival. My Danes fell in love with him during the meet and greet visit and will definitely use him for all our dog care needs. Cora”


About: I've always had a dog since I was little and recently started to volunteer at the lenawee humane society. I've watched over my family's and friends pets while in vacation or out of town as well. I work at a library about 3 days a week and would like to find time for other part time jobs. I kove animals and think that this would be a good time filler for me. I live in the country and have a big yard for dogs to rumn around and play.my yard isn't fenced in but I do have a long lead for them if they would like to stay out for longer. But I do have a crate if your dog is crate trained. I have lots of toys and dog food if needed.

About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.

About: I have a huge passion and love for all animals! I have my own small dog, who’s my whole world. He’s 5 years old and does everything with me. I have volunteered at vet offices and love helping and being around animals whenever I can. I love helping others and being able to provide and assist people to make their lives easier. I’m currently working in home care and have a very flexible schedule. I also enjoy jogging with dogs too. I will love your animals just as much as my own! I make my own schedule each day for work so I can be available for you and your pet! I would love to help make anything easier for you. I love all animals as my own! I feed them when they need to be, keep their environment clean, and exercises them as needed 😊

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

“Mikaila was a true God Send. She was kind, gentle, and attentive. Paloma and I are beyond grateful for being able to connect with her. I was close to giving up on Rover due to bad experiences, but meeting Mikaila and connecting her with my Paloma changed that. Her caretaking and attentiveness allow for the peace of mind and comfort pet owners endlessly search for. Highly recommended”


About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then there is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I have watched them a few times and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. He has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve had pets in the house my whole life—from small dogs and cats to large breeds. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me for safe, loving, and dependable care every time. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I am available during the week and weekends! I prefer to watch pets in your home but can offer care in my home. I have 3 acres of land and a dog of my own.

“Brittany helped us in a pinch and was so good with our Great Dane, Rosemary. We appreciated her responsiveness and all the photos and videos she sent of their time together. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and knows how to care for them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup and couldn't be more grateful. Rose made a new friend, and we look forward to using her services again. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”


“⸻ Dara was absolutely amazing with Cate! She took care of her like she was her own—so sweet, reliable, and totally in tune with Cate’s little quirks and routines. I got daily updates with the cutest photos and videos, which made being away so much easier and more comforting. Cate can be a bit shy, but she clearly felt super safe and happy with Dara. I came home to a calm, cuddly cat and a spotless place. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Dara—she’s a total gem!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for a few years now. After getting my first dog, I learned quickly how it was like to care for one, and I love every minute of it! I am a current college student and was looking to do more on the side. I have most availability Monday through Thursday and some Fridays. I will care for pets in my clients home by protecting and looking after their dog at all times because their safety is what is most important to me!

About: Hello and welcome to my page! My pet care experience had begun at the early age of 2 when I had my first best fur friend. He was a grey schnauzer and also mine and my grandma's protector. His name was Buster, but I called him "butt-two" and he lived a very happy and exciting life. At the age of 8 I had gotten two of my very first dogs, Sady and Chloe. They were Jack russells and extremely full of energy! With my mother working and my sisters busy with their friends, I took on full responsibility of them and completely loved it. Shortly after, we added a cat - Harley. Harley was a very loving yet independent cat. I loved her as if she was my own child. She has passed and that was a very tough loss for me. Now, I am without a fur friend and looking to care for any cat or dog to fill in that missing spot in my heart. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will consider any price changes! If I seem to be a good fit for you, please do not hesitate to send me a detailed message of your pet(s), their health and needs, and the care you're looking to get from me. I am excited and looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Currently, I am self employed and working only part time so my schedule is open to book with you and your pets with little notice. (Preferably receive a 1 week notice) When caring for your pets- I love to go for walks with dogs and playing outside with them as much as possible. They will be well fed, groomed, and loved.
