“Erin did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were on vacation! Although they are quite shy, Erin took the time to seek them out and spend time talking to them when they did not want to be petted. Updates and photos were timely and thorough. Would not hesitate to ask Erin to check in on them again in the future!”
“We booked Libby just days before Thanksgiving, our previous sitter backed out at the last minute. Libby did a great job with our cat and helped us out tremendously because of the previous sitter cancellation.”
“Such an amazing sitter! So communicative, great listener, attentive, timely, interactive, and genuinely loves the animals. Eased all my fears allowing me to relax just a little bit more on our vacation.”
“Shelby took good care of my three kitties while we were out of town. Even though my kitties were shy, she made sure they were doing good and had everything they needed. Shelby provided daily updates and asked questions, I think she really cares about the pets she’s caring. I would definitely recommend her 🐱💚”
“Lily was great with my two cats. Willow and Thomas aren't very needy and just needed someone to stop over 1x per day to refill their water bowl, top off their food, and ensure they had a clean litter box for another night. Lily made sure to check in if she should or could come over a little earlier or later than her standard time and I always felt comfortable with my pets around her. Highly recommend for your pet watching needs!”

About: I have been caring for household pets since I was a kid. I would watch pets for family and neighbors while they were out of town. Or just stopping by during the day to walk the dog and make sure they are fed and happy. Currently I volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society as a member of the behavior modification group. I have 2 dogs of my own (Ferda and Cruz) they are both large dogs 105 and 65 lbs, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperament's. I am also fully able to safely walk multiple dogs at once and make sure they stay under control. I have earned a Canine Specialist certificate through SCI as well as a certificate in animal first aid and CPR through ProPetHero. Along with having fun with your dog I can also bathe and brush your dog if needed, whether your dog is muddy and stinky or just needs a basic shed brushing I can provide a calm relaxing experience for your dog. I still currently am working part time cooking in order to cover my bills, but my goal is to be able to leave that industry and work full time in pet care and training. I am available Wednesday- Friday anytime in the morning until 2 pm and at any time on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Soon there will be more times available. I have a fully fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who love to play fetch and tug. They also value their rest time. I am able to crate your dog if needed and also have a separate room that is set aside for a cat living area full of toys and climbable cat trees and wall mazes, or for a dog training room as needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and grew up surrounded by them. I have extensive experience with dogs big and small, puppies, seniors, and those with health issues requiring medications. I recently moved out of my family's three dog household and am missing some puppy love in my life. I would love to help you care for your pets just as I used to care for mine! I currently work an afternoon/evening shift so I am available anytime in the mornings and early afternoons (1-2 pm). Saturdays I am available anytime and Sundays I am available 11am-3pm. I currently live in an apartment and have a kitty of my own so I am unable to board at my place. I am more than capable of stopping by, checking in, and playing with your pet whether they need a potty break or medications administered!
