About: Hey there 👋🏼 I’m just a girl who grew up with dogs and cats. I have always considered my pets to be a part of the family. I have never known a world without them! I’m very comfortable around dogs of all temperaments, sizes, ages etc. I have been a dog sitter/walker for many pups in the past! I also have experience with giving dogs medication (pills and shots), so I’m happy to help with that if need be! I also foster puppies, so I understand the amount of time and attention those little balls of energy need. If I sound like a good fit, please reach out! 🐾 Currently I’m a stay at home mom who, surprisingly enough, has time to help out with your pet sitting needs! My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to work out a consistent schedule for you! I’m known to be timely, respectful, and responsible while caring for other peoples pets and homes. I find joy in being around animals, and I treat all animals like my own.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember—growing up with dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I currently have a boxer mix, a Rottweiler, and a rescue cat! I also worked at a pet hotel for two years, where I made sure furry guests were well-fed, squeaky clean, and had tons of playtime. Whether it’s a tail-wagger or a purring cuddlebug, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and having fun! With working part-time & going to college, I have certain availability. Here are my available hours! Wednesdays after 4:00 pm and Fridays-Sundays anytime! I am based in Macomb but I also offer services to Chesterfield, Washington, Romeo, Clinton Township, Ira Township, Algonac Since I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable right in their own environment. During walks, I make sure your pup gets the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation (sniff breaks!), and of course, plenty of love and encouragement. Safety is always a top priority—I stay aware of surroundings, and adjust walks to fit your dog’s energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just some cuddle time. I always make sure water bowls are full, paws are happy, and your pet feels cared for and content while you're away.

“Arabia was great with my 3 month old puppy. She really went above and beyond what was required, and I’d recommended her to anyone that truly wants the best for their pet.”

About: I have a family of small children and cats and dogs! I am also a Dog Bather at a local grooming saloon. Being patient and gentle has been a proven method to work with animals. Some just need more time. I currently work handyman part work. I care for my animals around that and would love to include yours in my routine as well! Thank you! I take animals without fenced in yards out for walks and to go to the bathroom. Fenced in yards I will be outside the entire time the dog is outside.

“Gabby was awesome. Being able to get setup with her on short notice over the holidays and she made sure our kitties were taken care of. We will definitely work with Gabby again.”

About: I am 27 years old. I have been around dogs all my life and have worked with almost every breed out there, so I know every dog has different needs. AVAILABILITY I am very flexible with drop in times or walking times. Just let me know what time works best and keep me updated if anything changes! :) MY DOGS I have an English bulldog and a miniature schnauzer/ yorkie (snorkie) both of which are friendly and playful. PHOTOS It is my tradition to send you many pictures of your fur-baby! It is important for me to make sure both YOU and YOUR PET to feel comfortable with me under my care. TRAINING AND POTTY TRAINING I am willing to take on dogs that need work on their potty training. Just inform me if your dog needs that type of assistance and we can discuss the details. SPECIAL REQUESTS If you have a pet that needs extra care like daily medication or separation anxiety, just let me know! I will always work out a comfortable plan to care for your pet. WHAT GISELLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR PUP? -Vaccinations/flea preventative? Make sure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations and is protected against fleas and ticks! -Any medical conditions? Let me know so I have an idea of the kind of care your pet need. -Potty trained? If not that’s okay! I will help teach your pet to do their business outside. I use positive reinforcement as a tactic to help this process. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me. I am very flexible with drop in times or walking times. Just let me know what time works best and keep me updated if anything changes! :) I take all notes on how you care for your dog and try to mimic that routine as best as I can while your away.

About: Through most of my adult life I've been responsible for caring for our families pets. This includes food, water, bathing and grooming, training, stimulation, medication, and anything else they may need. I mostly cared for dogs and cats but would occasionally help with horses. I often pet sit for my out of state family for long stretches of time, taking care of their pets needs and making sure they have a fun companion while their family is away. I work part time and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet sitting into my routine. I can also work from my laptop while on the go, but pet's needs always come first. I have currently have a very energetic cat who loves to play. I'll play with her at least 30 minutes a day, though usually I'll keep playing until she loses interest. In terms of affection I spoil her all day and she loves it. When dog sitting for family I walk each dog 3-5 times a day, depending on each dogs needs. One dog I care for needs medication, so ensuring she receives it consistently each day at the same time is a priority. I find activities each dog likes doing and love spending time with them either playing with toys, roughhousing, or watching dog videos on YouTube, which one really enjoys.

“We had Molly come in for visits twice a day while we were vacationing. Our little dog can be a grumpy little stinker, but Molly won him over quickly. She was even getting kisses! She did a great job of taking care of Reggie and even made things work when we extended the booking by a day. We definitely recommend Molly.”

About: I have always loved animals. So I immediately applied myself at an Animal Hospital after high school, assisting in dog/cat care(nail trims,baths, behavioral therapy) and surgery for 7 years. In addition, I worked as a bather for Pet Smart grooming. I was pet sitting before covid, but stopped when social distancing was put into place. Unfortunately, my best friend crossed the rainbow bridge, and I would like to cope by helping my community again with their pets. I will only be able Friday evenings, and weekends. Sometimes my schedule changes, so hopefully I can make adjustments if possible. I currently work full time in Detroit, packaging wound ointment called HoneyCure, for dogs, cats, and horses. Depending of the dynamic, I will utilize a loop leash for added safety when walking your dog or taking potty breaks. I live an apartment, so dogs the weigh 20Ibs or under are welcome. I am willing to drive though, for pups who weigh more than 20Ibs. I am attentive when it comes to pet care because safety is important, so I will ask a lot of questions when meeting your dog or cat, and ask for written instructions on how you would like me to take care of your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with medication administration, and I have knack for a pet’s body language if they are feeling unwell or have behavioral issues.

“Heather was great! She was on time and kept me informed of her visit and also sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“We hired Alyssa for drop in visits while on vacation. She was on time, a good communicator and has fair prices. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Shelby was amazing! This was our first time using rover and it was definitely a great first experience. Moving from a different state and not having any close family to take care of our cats for us while on vacation was stressful at first but after Shelby’s first visit I could tell our cats were gonna be in great hands. She even went out of her way to replace our liter scooper when ours broke half way thru our vacation! We can thank you enough again for such amazing care!! ?”
