“Karina was absolutely wonderful with our Scrappy! We are so lucky to have found her! Now I can have peace of mind leaving my fur baby. Highly recommend!”

About: I have both personal and professional experience taking care of animals. My experience has been primary with dogs and cats, however, I have looked out for turtles, fish and birds as well. I have a passion for learning and understanding animals. My experience also comes from volunteering with the Humane Society and a local shelter helping caring and socializing cats and dogs. I understand the stress that comes with getting good care for your beloved pet, therefore I take great pride in caring for them as if they are my own. Other hobbies include reading and watching reality TV with my pup. I currently work from home 4 out of the 5 days of the week. I can let your pup out as many times as they need. I don’t have a fenced in yard, so all potty breaks will be done on leash. I have the space to crate if needed, but will need to provide your own.
“Tory was great!!! Buster had a great experience. Tory sent a lot of photos of Buster playing with other dogs. Would recommend and planning on using her again in the future!!”
“Carolina was wonderful! She is so kind. Carolina allowed Murphy and us to meet prior to our first sitting day...Murphy was able check out her house/sniff around, which made us feel more comfortable dropping him off! We were able to meet her family as well which put us completely at ease-such wonderful kids! On Murphy's first day with Carolina, she sent pics and updates of our fur-baby settling in and comfortable at her home!! When I picked him up at the end of his day, I could tell he was happy and well cared for. We will be bringing Murphy back!! We are so happy we found Carolina! She is truly lovely and so good to our 'baby'.”

About: Left a lucrative corporate job and started a dog walking/ boarding company in Manhattan, N.Y. Now back in Michigan hoping to care for your large breed. I am an unapologetic homebody so just love the company and so does my one Great Dane since we lost his brother last year. I work M-Th so full disclosure (starting September 2025) - depending on your dog they may be crated for up to 5 hours.. If mature - no😀. I specialize in weekend care - Fridays through Mondays. I can do full weeks but work 4 days a week and your dog may be crated. Very flexible to your needs. I have a fenced in yard, dog door, and years of experience. Unless requested by you, your dog will not be crated. They will enjoy the company of my own Great Dane.

About: Your Dog's Second Home :) With a 5-year-old Havanese of my own, I truly understand the love and attention your furry family member deserves. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be welcomed into a home where snuggles, playtime, and a watchful eye are guaranteed. My Havanese provides a friendly, playful companion, ensuring your dog feels right at home, not just looked after. Currently I’m working from home and given that I have a 5-year-old Havanese, pet care is already deeply integrated into my daily routine. My Havanese enjoys a structured day with regular feeding times, multiple potty breaks, and dedicated playtime. This existing schedule seamlessly accommodates additional furry guests. Your dog can join me & my dog for morning walks around the neighborhood, participate in midday play sessions in the backyard, and benefit from consistent supervision throughout the day. Having my own Havanese means I'm constantly attuned to canine needs and behaviors, making it easy to spot and address any concerns, ensuring a comfortable and happy stay for your beloved pet.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have raised several of my own. We recently lost our family dog and it would be great to have another furry friend around! Daily pet care is exactly what I’m used to! I work from home and am used to adding it to my daily and weekly routine. I want to make sure the pet is comfortable with me and its environment. I want them to enjoy themselves - like a vacation away!
“Iris & Tomas helped watch our dog while we attended a pet first aid/CPR class nearby. This was our first time having anyone watch her, so we were a little nervous. They were able to squeeze us in last minute and do a meet and greet. They sent us many photos and played with her and kept her occupied until we could pick her up. We would definitely request them again if needed!”
“If I could give more stars I would! Very happy with our stay with Lexi. Excellent communication, photos throughout the day, and they treated Rocco like he was their own. Rocco did not want to go home with me! lol So happy to find Lexi. We ll be back!”
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My best friend had a farm growing up. I have always lived with dogs, bunnies, geckos, frogs, cats, you name it! I love pets and would treat yours no less then if they were my own:) Pets are family too! At the moment I just came home from overseas and I am here from the summer so I currently do not have a job although I am looking for a part-time one. However, until then my weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day. I know animals (especially dogs) need lots of love, attention, and exercise. I love to take walks and always enjoy a furry companion. Fresh water is important, enough potty breaks and definitely make sure they have a full belly! I’ll make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you’re gone;)
“Krishna was fantastic with Bailey. Bailey was immediately comfortable with her, which usually doesn't happen. Krishna sent lots of pictures and updates. Bailey even ate snacks during the visit, which is a first. I will definitely be sending Bailey again.”
“Calvin and Joan had a nice relaxing afternoon. Her home was tidy, so we didn't have to worry about our puppy getting into much trouble and he loved the backyard!”
