“Abby did great with Bailey. She was on time. Friendly, brought her own leash and supplies. Bailey had a solid 30 min walk. No issues. Thanks Abby!”
2. Dakota W.
“Dakota is the best! She is enthusiastic and really cares about my dog 😊”
3. Kelly T.
“Kelly has an amazing heart for animals, particularly dogs. She has helped me care for my dogs for years and been there for me more times than I can count.. When I moved into my new house and installed a doggy door, she taught my Husky and Spaniel how to use it by crawling through it herself. When I go on vacation, she is someone whom I can trust implicitly to treat my dogs even better than I would treat them myself. I had to be gone for over a week, and she took my Chihuahua/Dachshund mix into her home and treated him like a king. He was always nervous around new people, but I could hardly pry him away from her when I returned. The Doberman/Pit Bull mix that is my most recent rescue was abused and is very nervous to be out of his environment, so Kelly stays at my house to take care of him whenever I have to leave town. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great short term companion for your dog or cat. Your pet will be in excellent, safe and loving hands.”

7. Alexia S.
“Alexia has taken care of my senior kitty many times before and I keep coming back to her because she is amazing. She makes my kitty feel loved and less alone when I leave for the weekend. I recommend her she is great!”
8. Joy L.
“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.”
9. Angie S.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and absolutely love these furry friends. I also have a dog who is my constant companion. I enjoy walking dogs and making sure they are well cared for while you are away. I work virtually and have a flexible schedule so I am able to get away weekdays to care for your pets. Fully available on weekends to provide lots of love. Whether your pet wants lots of snuggling and playtime or a walk or simply needs fed and a short hello, I’m able to provide whatever it needs. I like to understand what your pet’s routine and preferences are so that I can provide the same care while you are away.
10. Emily Z.
“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.”
11. Tyler H.
“I can’t say enough about Tyler’s level of commitment and compassion for dogs. She’s always had a dog and over the years accepted varying and increasing levels of responsibility. I was traveling a great deal for business and was anxious about being away from our dog so frequently. Tyler quickly alleviated my fears by taking care of our dog in the most thoughtful and compassionate way possible. As he grew older, he needed extra attention and assistance. Tyler loved him unconditionally and made sure he was comfortable and happy even when it wasn’t easy. She can truly be trusted to care for and protect your dog as you would.”
12. Tyler R.
“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.”
13. Kristina J.
“Frankie (9 month Pitbull) has recently started going on weekly walks with Kristina and he is a big fan! I love watching how excited he gets to see her. She is very trustworthy, sweet, attentive, and so much fun. Frankie is a big ball of energy and a mischief maker but Kristina does so well with him. Frankie and I highly recommend her :)”
14. Hongjun H.
“Joon is great with pets. My dog is very happy to go to her and enjoys every stay. Her dog is very welcoming and makes my lil one feel at home. She takes them on walk, she also thought my pet lil tricks. She is very hands on, updates you regularly. I definitely recommend her for your pooch.”
15. Jamie A.
About: Hello! I am local (Rochester Hills) pet caregiver/sitter/walker looking to expand my business! Originally from Lake Orion, I have background in both childcare and the corporate world. I love animals and I am excited to pursue caregiving once again. I have done this freelance in the past, and can provide references upon request. I look forward to connecting with you! My availability is flexible right now and my schedule currently allows me to be remote ; please feel free to reach out with additional questions! I am available to come and stay in your home for pet sitting overnight, and would be able to host a small dog in my home. I am also happy to spend the overnight in my own home and return in the morning at anytime, especially with a situation that’s within a close proximity!
16. Ashley & Marvin C.
About: I lost my dog of 15 years last summer, and not ready to fill his shoes just yet, which makes pet sitting the perfect opportunity! He was blind in his later years, which has given me experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Your pet(s) will be the only one in the home, so they will get our full attention :). I work night the shift as a cardiac care nurse, and my partner typically works from home, so your pup will always have someone home! We live in a one level home in a neighborhood with a screened porch so they can always have access to fresh air and the outdoors. We also live next to the trail system and take long walks in the evenings, rain or shine!
17. Sarah G.
“I’ve left a review before but I’ll leave another- Sarah is the best!! Absolutely book with her!!! Willie (my pup) gets treated so well and loves his walks- we are so appreciative of Sarah!!”
18. Amy B.
“Amy is fantastic. She’s very reliable and friendly and totally has a connection with my dog! She doesn’t balk at the inclement weather walks.”
19. Lilia T.
About: My love for pets is never-ending. Having pets of my own for nearly 20 years of my life, I know how special they are to you! I promise to take care of them as if they were my own. My family and I trained our dogs since they were puppies and truly know that they simply are the joy of a home. I currently work from home, so I am able to fit your furry loved ones into my schedule. Potty breaks will be respected and frequent. In my home, I have the freedom of time, but will be caring a bit more for certain rooms. In my client's home, I follow their rules and expectations
20. Anna N.
“Anna will be a fantastic dog sitter! She is responsible, has amazing customer service skills, and is dedicated to going above and beyond for your pet. Anna frequently provides loving care to my dog and I am consistently impressed with her ability to meet all my dogs needs. Highly recommend Anna!”
