“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”

“Shylah is wonderful! Very accommodating, excellent communication, and went above and beyond in her care for my cats while I was on vacation. One of my cats doesn't warm up to humans easily, but did to her ❤️ I'll definitely be contacting Shylah again next time I need a sitter!”

About: Dogs are incredibly special companions and family members and I pride myself in ensuring your pups feel safe and loved when in my care! With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and needs, including puppies, adults, and seniors with mobility challenges or special care requirements. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's unique personality and earning their trust at their own pace. What Sets Me Apart: Full-service Care: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, training, and boarding--all in one place! Safe and Calm Home: I'm fully insured and provide pet care full-time in a non-smoking, child-free, pet-free home. I follow your pet’s routine and can accommodate dogs who need to be the only pup for daycare or boarding. Personalized 1-on-1 Care: I accept only one dog at a time for boarding or daycare, ensuring individualized attention, enrichment, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Two dogs from the same household may be accepted case by case. Certified Positive Reinforcement Trainer: GoodPup-certified trainer offering support with leash skills, basic cues, potty training and more. (See my Rover Trainer profile for details) Medication & Recovery Support: Experienced with pills, oral syringes, injections, post-surgical care, and physical therapy support. I look forward to caring for your dog as if they were my own! I currently provide pet care full-time. See my calendar or message me directly for availability. Pet parents will receive text and photo updates throughout their loved ones stay and can contact me at any time. In your home (Drop-in Visits, Dog Walking): I will meet your pet where they are at depending on their age, energy levels, comfort and mobility. I will provide them with love and affection, enrichment, and exercise, sticking to their routine so they are as happy and as comfortable as possible while you’re away. About my home (Doggy Daycare and Boarding): I live in a cozy 3-bedroom 1,000 sq ft bungalow on a fully fenced double lot -- perfect for pups to play, explore and relax safely. My neighborhood in Wyandotte has lots of walkable, dog-friendly routes, and I love getting outside. Durable Kong toys, dog beds and cozy blankets are available for your pup to enjoy throughout their stay! All toys, blankets and beds are sanitized and washed between stays. I am flexible and happy to make adjustments in my home to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home a few days a week, but will be in his office and will not be assisting with pet care though he will be available for cuddles in the evenings.

“Randi was excellent! My non-Rover catsitter was on vacation and I needed someone last minute. Randi saved the day! She made sure my cat didn't get stressed out and lonely while I was gone and greatly reduced the risk of him tantrum vomiting in my absence. As well as keeping an eye on some things around the house for me. I would not hesitate to call on her again!”

About: I've had pets all my life, so I have a lot of experience caring for them. I also have experience dog sitting for family members. I've had to take care of dogs that have needed daily medication also. I have experience with large and small dogs. I'm comfortable around all breeds. Most of the dogs I have had have been larger dogs, dobermans, boxers, pit bulls, etc. I have recently committed to staying home full time, so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the Love and attention they need and deserve. At this time I'm only able to do drop ins and walks, but I give every fur baby my full and complete attention, caring for their every need.
