“Joy has been wonderful to work with for weekly walks for our 65lb boxer mix. Great communication, always on time and one happy tired pup after each walk. Our dog loves Joy so much she has started waiting by the window for her on walk days! Highly recommend.”


“Angie is amazing with my dog!!! Our dog is super finicky on who she lets put a leash on her, and Angie kept at it little by little, until our dog was her best buddy! Now our dog gets excited when we mention Angie’s name. She is the best!!!”


“Erin is so good with our Goldendoodle Toby. He’s very energetic, and Erin takes the walks in stride, letting Toby get all that energy out. Would highly recommend Erin for your dog walking needs!”


About: I have been a pet owner since a child. I love dogs and my husband is a dog photographer. So if you book a stay, you will get a free photoshoot if you want! I'm a stay at home mom, So i have plenty of time to take care of our fluffy friends! I do have a 2 year old, but she goes to daycare 3 days a week I have a house with back yard on a flat ground lot. Our lawn is already bug sprayed for ticks and other common insects, So your fluffy friends will have a safe stay.

“Emily is super professional and terrific to work with. My puppy remembered her from their walk about 3-4 weeks ago. He greeted her enthusiastically and was so happy to see her when she came to take him for another walk.”


“Tyler was wonderful!! My dog is afraid of everyone but he took quickly to Tyler, even layed down by his feet! That’s a biggie for my dog. Tyler is very personable, respectful and trustworthy and I will not hesitate to use him again.”



“Diana was great! Our dog is sweet, but not the easiest to walk. She didn’t really mind his quirks and seemed very comfortable with him-70 pounds. Would definitely ask her again! Her communication was timely and she came over for a meet and greet before her first walk. Thank you!”


About: I have had pets my whole life and take care of them myself. Also have babysat for others including grooming, medications, and feeding. I absolutely love dogs and have cared for cats too. I work part time at an orthodontic office in Birmingham. I am available most weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays! I am willing to be flexible with times I live in an apartment so the types of dogs I am allowed to have is limited. But feel free to ask me if your dog is a good fit for my apartment

About: I’d first like to make clear, about the bad review I got on my page, the lady came and left her dog for 2 seconds and came back. I did nothing to the dog didn’t even get chance to watch it. That was at my home I lived in for years, I had recently torn up the flooring in house, carpets, tiles etc to put new stuff down eventually! But there was floors, and house was clean as always is! And also bags were of clothes because I had plans to take to laundry mat due to not having working washer or dryer at that time. But now have a new home in Rochester hills, it’s very clean, if you have any specific questions feel free to ask, if you’d like to come inside and see please just ask don’t hesitate. I’m an open book and very understandable person. Is my house like a 5 star hotel/motel maybe no, but it’s clean always, dogs will be fed and cared for, I have children yes, but has never stopped me from taking good care of anyone’s pets in the past, I used to have regulars but my old phone got broken and lost all their numbers, they loved me and my children. Even they’d tell you I did amazing with their pets, I treat them as if their my own, I’ve been a animal lover all my life, would never take on more than I can handle, but yes is it loud sometimes at home yes, hence having children lol do my kids have a lot of energy yes, but most pups and dogs have liked it in past and recently cared for dogs as well. We go outside a lot, also to parks for walks and take any dog we may have with us, also to dog friendly beaches! If a home with children that maybe loud at times and overly excited meeting new ppl and pets is too much for you then I’m not the sitter for you, but I promise if it is fine, my kids are harmless, we adore all dogs, always have. We let them sleep with us or on couches unless owners don’t want or approve. Whatever it is you wanna know or need me to know please never be afraid, I know our pets be just like family or even our own babies to us. I will care for your pet and always respond to any messages, always send pictures and updates as well, I like to keep ppl updated as much as I can, but do get busy as I’m taking care of my children and the dog or dogs if owners say are okay with others. But either way still inform all. Just wanted to be clear, I will clean them up if ever get too dirty as well. So they go back home just as adorable as they came, due to mud or dirt or weird stuff not because of my children just to explain that. Lol I am very honest and real person and would never hide nothing, had that lady just asked instead of judging she would of seen like others how good I am with their beloved pets. Thank you for your type and I promise you won’t regret your pick! 😁 Have a blessed day! Currently not working so have plenty of time for the dog. 🙂🩷 I enjoy time at home and with a cute fur friend and so do my children, we lost our puppy 2 years ago, a neighbor ran her over sadly. When I had someone watching her. So we enjoy just visiting someone else pup/dog now. I feed them, as the owner wishes, whatever times they say and how many times they say they eat. If they allow little bits of human food I do sneak them a piece of something but again only if owners say okay! I take them out as much needed for every dogs potty breaks differ, also if ppl like their dogs in cages while I may be out during certain times they can’t come with us, we put them in the cage if asked by owner that they bring along, or just let the dog run free in home. Never gone for more than 2 hours tops when sitting tho!

About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.

“Emily did a great job! Dottie loves her walks and didn’t have to miss her midday walk around the neighborhood because we were away! Wonderful service. Will definitely use again.”
