“Shylah was amazing with my two cats when I was gone for the week. My orange cat is difficult with taking his medicine and Shylah was kind and persistent in making sure he stayed healthy. She even cleaned up some care vomit which I didn’t expect at all but was very much appreciated. Would book again and recommend her services!”


“This is the third time we have had Cindy care for our cat. We feel very confident in her care. She communicates well and follows through with any instructions given. She is very gentle with our senior cat who is very timid. Thank you Cindy!”

“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!!”
“Kelly was incredible! She responds quickly, gives great updates, as well as sends photos. She’s friendly & took great care of our cat! We will only ever go directly to Kelly in the future. Five stars!”

“Nicole took wonderful care of our 3 cats, and under the craziest possible circumstances (one senior cat with diabetes needing insulin twice a day, and a juvenile male and female that aren't fixed yet and had to be kept separated). It was half cat sitting and half cat jailer, and through it all Nicole was super friendly and communicative and we came home to 3 happy cats. 10/10, we'll definitely book her again!”

“Katie was wonderful. She did everything that was requested and then some, including sending tons of pictures of my cat and playing with her. Would definitely book with Katie again.”

“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”

About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine, and that love eventually led me to a career in wildlife biology and conservation. I grew up with both cats and dogs and see them as members of the family! I began caring for family pets at age 8, and pet sat for neighbors, family friends, and clients in High School and college. After college, I worked seasonal field jobs as a wildlife biologist and pet sat in between field seasons. We had Abby, our beloved dog -- a sweet, social Black Lab/Pitt/Pointer mix -- for 11 years until her recent passing from cancer. She was the best girl and a part of the family. We trained her using positive reinforcement, play and consistent socialization. While I'm not a certified trainer, I do have some hands-on experience with dog training and behavior support. I've cared for pets of all ages and needs -- from energetic puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs with mobility issues. I'm also experienced with administering medication (pills, oral syringes, and injections) and have supported post-surgical recovery and physical therapy for dogs recovering from CCL tears and tumor removals (Abby went through both). I look forward to caring for your cat or dog as if it were my own! I am currently available to provide pet care full-time and have a flexible schedule Monday through Sunday. I will update my availability regularly in my profile, to ensure it is up-to-date. Pet parents can text or call me at any time to check-in and I will happily provide text and photo updates. In your home: I will meet your pet where they are at depending on their age, energy levels, comfort and mobility. I will provide them with affection and will encourage them to move their bodies with some play time or a walk. 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 we love getting outside. There are lots of durable, safe dog toys on hand that survived Abby, the Toy Destroyer, as well as extra dog beds and cozy blankets for lounging. 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. I will be fully available and present with your pet.
“Shelby took care of my cat while I was out of town for a whole MONTH! She was absolutely amazing, dependable, prompt, caring, communicative ... I could go on, but you get the point. Everything was perfect when I got back home. I think my cat was disappointed to see me & not Shelby LOL! Shelby is a blessing and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I will book with her every time if I can. Thank you! Joan”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs as a child and am surrounded by friends with dogs! I travel for work so unfortunately I cannot take care of a dog at home. I have a lot of patience so I can handle the chaos of puppies! I work from home so it's easy to pop out for a walk throughout the day! I work full time M-F and travel a handful of times throughout the year! I work flexibly so as long as I do not have a scheduled meeting I can step out throughout the day for a check-in or walk. I have one cat at home and he is treated like he's the king of the house! He has a cat tree to watch the neighborhood wildlife through the window and get's treats for being brave after getting his daily medicine.
About: Rats, Cats, Dogs, even Bats (if you have one) I'll care for them all!! I've taken care of animals since I tried to nurse a bird back to health in elementary during recess! I work part time as a twitch streamer, so my schedule is fairly flexible! With pet owners' permission, I like to show some of the pets I care for to my community! Either way, I love spending time with any and all pets! I will adhere to your instructions as closely as possible. I know how important it is not only for the pet(s), but the owners as well.
“Thank you, Donna! First gravitated to Donna’s profile because she seem to be a cat lady! ? Lots of dog watchers but we were concerned to find just the right person for our our elderly crabby cat Tobey. Donna quickly fell in love with our old guy, redefining him a polite gentleman ???. She sat on the floor every visit and loved on him and even brought him a jar of catnip! She was trustworthy, dependable, experienced with elder cats, and very graciously followed all of his finicky instructions on fussy eating habits (clean dish, variety fish of the day preferences, and litter box tidy habits). Donna is a wonderful dog watcher too, but for this extended home alone vacation for Mr. crabby cat, she was the ideal choice. Watered summer flowers, was conscientious about packages and mail, communicated with us after a big storm and generally allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any worries about home. She is the best, and we recommend Donna highly!”
