About: I’ve been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for over 13 years. I can medicate, monitor or just love on your pet. Animals feel safe with me. And I can even pill your grumpy cat … I promise! I’m retired from full-time work, so I can offer all my time to pet care clients. My only limits are the number of clients I can take at one time! I know that many dogs and cats are leary of strangers in their homes. As someone certified in Fear Free animal care, I know how to meet animals where they are and help them move to a place of trust.

Izzy was great and our pups loved her! We reached out to Izzy last minute, as we needed someone to let our pups out/walk them while we were out of town unexpectedly. She came over and met them both ahead of time, and our very timid rescue dog immediately took to Izzy. She was on time each day, and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She made sure their food and water was full, and locked the house when she left. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need some help!

About: I am a long time pet lover and absolutely love being around animals of all kinds. I worked at a doggy daycare for some time where I was in rooms alone with up to 25+ dogs of all temperaments, ages, shapes and sizes. I also worked at a smaller facility with much smaller groups so we could focus on learning basic commands and be much more attentive to each pups care needs (even though that wasn’t technically part of my job description all the pet parents loved seeing the new tricks the pups learned). With that position I quickly learned how to read dogs body language and social cues. I am also friends and families go to pet sitter and pet care “enthusiast”! I also am a big cat lover. Although some may view cats as lower maintenance pets I think they need and deserve just as much attention as dogs. Although I have less professional experience with cats, I have one of my own and has done extensive research on the proper care and attention they need. I currently work in the medical field part time with rather early shifts. So I have most of my days available to ensure any pet in my care gets the appropriate attention. As I said I’m extremely passionate about pet care so safety is my number one priority with anything. I am very open to communication and flexibility to ensure you and your pet gets the best experience.

About: I grew up around multiple dogs at a time, from when I was 12 to when I moved out this year there were 4 dogs in my house! One of them being a senior. There were multiple occasions where I cared for all 4 for multiple days at a time, as well as basic care after school. Along with that I’ve cared for other dogs that belonged to neighbors or family friends, including senior and medically complex dogs. I am a full time college student and not employed, so I have plenty of time where I’m not in class! I’m only unavailable on Tuesday from 10am-5pm and Thursday from 2pm-5pm. I don’t watch dogs in my own home, so I like to adapt to whatever routine the pet already has. I always make sure to get to know both the pet and the owner and make the pet comfortable around me. My favorite way is through treats and walks!

About: I am a lifelong dog lover who has been working in pet rescue and dog fostering for the past decade. I was a full-time video/graphic designer, pursuing my passions while also caring for dogs on the side. When I was laid off in the Fall of 2024, I decided to take the opportunity to make dogs my full-time career. I currently work at The Pack Indoor Dog Park, giving daily care to daycare and dog park visitors. But my next steps will begin in 2026 when I finish my certification as a Remedial Canine Massage Therapist. I hope to connect with people who not only need dog walks and care today, but may have an interest in supporting their dog's health through Massage Therapy in the future. In the last six months, I have done some dog sitting and walking for various types of dogs, including high-energy, blind (special needs), and young puppies. With my background in graphics, I LOVE taking photos and videos and love providing fun recaps of my time with the pups with lots of pictures and video for the parents. I currently work a flexible schedule at The Pack Indoor Dog Park and plan to make continued changes and adjustments for any consistent pet care needs in the future. I want to ensure all pets are safe and happy and keep to their normal care and routines. I'm happy to follow any specific care instructions for how you want your pet cared for, walked, and left in your home.

About: A few things that set me apart from other sitters you may see is that I am definitely an animal person, I am excited to start and to meet new furry friends!! I have lots of experience with animals any size, any age, or breed! Money is not a big deal to me because every pet deserves to feel special, even when their owners are away from home. I’m a very organized/clean person, and I can assure you that any mess your pets may make, I will make it look squeaky clean! Full time availability! From November 26-January 11, I am a current freshman at central Michigan university and am looking for some extra cash on breaks and over the summer:) I’m a huge baby when it comes to animals, bad habit of mine is spoiling them!! I always make sure to give my animals their daily pills/vitamins , I wrap it in cheese, but I can give medicine whatever way works best for you! You can rely on my service to be 10/10 and for me to respect your privacy and boundaries.

Jessica has been a life-saver. She was able to take my 1.5 terrier mix out for a 30 min walk while my roommate was out of town. She is super friendly and is highly recommended.

About: My nickname is Snow-white. Animals of all kinds have always gravitated toward me and I have always loved and gravitated toward animals. They are my passion and I want to work with that passion. I have always had animals and care for others animals often. I am highly reliable, trustworthy and will love your animals as if they were my own. I do work m-thurs regular business hours. I also have a sweet sweet rescue Golden doodle that will be with me if I stay at your home. I am currently in an apartment but a lot of great walking spots! I do currently have a 6 year old golden doodle who is shy and sweet and a senior rescue cat in my home. Just ask and we can work something out. I am flexible in how to care for them, meaning if your animal is used to be in a crate to sleep that is what I will do. My goal is to keep it as "normal" as possible for them while loving on them. If you would like me to stay overnight with your pets in your home I can! I will have my sweet non shedding doodle with me.

About: I have always had such a big heart for animals, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 7 years old. I currently have three cats and one very spoiled dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or sticking to a routine, I treat every pet like family. My schedule is always changing, so I will fill in to help whenever I can. I am currently in college and looking for a flexible job that I enjoy. Every pet and home are treated with respect. My main priority is to comfort any pet while their family is away and keep them safe and healthy!

Morgan was great! She’s been sweet, responsive, and has helped me tremendously by walking Sarge while I have long hours at school. She kindly took the time out of her morning to have a meet and greet before officially walking Sarge. Thanks, Morgan!
