“As soon as Annie met Jean, she immediately loved her and I knew she was in good hands. Jean is very empathetic and understanding of the challenge in leaving your baby with someone else, but I knew everything was good with her. Jean was a great communicator, and I loved getting the updates. This is the most relaxed I think I have ever been leaving her so truly so grateful 💜💜”

About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. I work part time on a flexible schedule and can easily fit most visit schedules into my day. I take the time to earn an animal’s trust, and go at a speed they’re comfortable with. If your animal wants me to pet and lay with them and brush them and play with them or anything else, I’m there! If your pet is more lowkey or independent, I check in on them and make sure they have everything they need. I look to care for your specific pet, not just check in and call it a day.

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have helped family and friends care for them my entire life. I love matching a dogs energy and paying close attention to make sure their needs are being met. I would love to get to know your dog and help care for them while you’re away! I work part time as an assistant track coach at Wayne State. Mornings and evenings are available, as well as most Sundays and some Saturdays. Unfortunately I am currently not hosting pets at my house as I have an aging cat that does not do well with making new friends.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and was the proud pet parent of a Yorkie-Poodle named Jazz, who was my best friend and companion for 15 wonderful years. Saying goodbye to him in 2019 was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, but caring for him taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs—and that they deserve to be treated with patience, kindness, and love. Professionally, I own a client-focused business where trust, reliability, and attention to detail are essential every day. Those same qualities carry over into the way I care for pets. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved family member is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I provide dog walks and drop-in visits in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in the environment they know and love. Before our first visit, I take the time to learn about your pet's routine, personality, preferences, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. During each visit, I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic walk, a favorite toy, quiet companionship, or simply extra affection, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to keep your pet's normal routine as uninterrupted as possible. I'll always ensure your pet's safety and well-being by paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. Communication is just as important as great pet care, so you'll receive updates and photos after each visit, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer overnight stays, and medication requests are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can safely meet your pet's needs. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure, while giving you complete confidence that they're in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved companion the same kindness, patience, and unconditional love that made my 15 years with Jazz so special. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks while balancing my other professional responsibilities. I carefully schedule each visit so every pet receives the time, attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency they deserve. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while they're apart. Because I provide care in my clients' homes, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure in the environment they know best. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special requests. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before every walk, and I remain attentive to my surroundings to help keep pets safe. I also pay close attention to each pet's body language and comfort level, allowing them to build trust with me at their own pace. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of professionalism, reliability, and respecting my clients' homes. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own, leaving it just as I found it. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I'll provide updates and photos during my visits to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, cared for, and comfortable, and for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in dependable, compassionate hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cat ever since I was a child. We had dogs and cats, and I would baby sit my cousins dogs every time they needed me. I’m reliable and know how to take care of senior dogs and cats, as well as puppies and kittens. I have a cat of my own, and he’s well loved and cared for. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of time. I am available almost anytime and any day. I will be studying from home, so there is no problem with my schedule. I live in an apartment with my cat, and he’s very good with other pets. I will take care of your baby, if you need any other accommodations like crate them or take them out in a specific time, I can do that.

Randi is a very attentive, positive and a genuine person. She met with my elder pup prior to her stay and put me right at ease. She was super clean & treated my home very respectfully. My dog loved her. They went on multiple walks through rain or shine and she took made adjustments when the pup got tired. I would for sure book randi again. She was great!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better house cat sitter. Victoria was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Our cat normally will be distant, aloof and slow to trust, yet he warmed up to Victoria remarkably fast—something that almost never happens. Her calm, intuitive, and genuinely caring approach made all the difference. I was truly amazed witnessing the bond the two created with each other. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a perfectly cared-for home, which speaks volumes. Having someone this trustworthy and attentive gave us complete peace of mind. She is very pleasant to converse with when giving daily updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.

Areatha was great with my cat, Agatha. She sent photos and videos almost every day so I knew that Agatha was being well taken care of. She was very responsive to all my messages before and during the sit. When my flight home was cancelled and I had to take a flight the next day, Areatha was great about watching Agatha one more day. I highly recommend her.
