About: Rats, Cats, Dogs, even Bats (if you have one) I'll care for them all!! I've taken care of animals since I tried to nurse a bird back to health in elementary during recess! I work part time as a twitch streamer, so my schedule is fairly flexible! With pet owners' permission, I like to show some of the pets I care for to my community! Either way, I love spending time with any and all pets! I will adhere to your instructions as closely as possible. I know how important it is not only for the pet(s), but the owners as well.
“Rebecca was attentive and patient with my two special needs dogs. She went above and beyond during her visits and sent regular updates and photos while I was away. Definitely reccommend. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Milo and Lila, on the day of our wedding.

We would 100% have Abby come watch our babies again.”
About: I’ve always had such a passion for a animals. Growing up i was lucky enough to care for many of my neighbors animals, along with my own. From a young age my family has always had a love for large breed dogs. I grew up with a Rottweiler and an American Bulldog, this started my love for animals. As i’ve gotten older my love has grown! I have experience working in a Doggy Daycare (Bubble Puppy Playhouse) located in Downriver MI. This job taught me so much, not only about the behavioral side of different breeds, but how to properly advocate for all dogs needs! I have a senior Pit-bull named Dallas and, a 1yr old German Shepherd mix named Motley. They are my world! Having a high energy dog we spend a lot of time training, walking & playing frisbee. I understand the importance of exercise and enrichment and enjoy doing it so much. Me and Motley participated in a general obedience course over the winter and have learned so much! I’m currently working part-time and a seasonal job. As the weather gets colder my availability opens up! I am currently in school to be a veterinary technician and am not available Tuesday & Thursday. I am available ANYTIME, with notice (early morning & late nights) the rest of the week to come and care for your fur babies! I do NOT offer In home boarding but I am more than happy to come to your home! I am unable to WALK aggressive/reactive dogs but, I am able to care for them if your elaborate your dogs needs prior.
“Lauri is a very kind and compassion for animals is obvious. She made us feel secure in trusting her with our baby girl and our home. We look forward to continuing our services with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years like friends, family, neighbors or even anyone in need of a sitter. I’ve also owned a dog of my own. By owning 2 cats of my own I’m always playing with them, feeding them, and taking care of their litter box. I also do a good job of making them feel comfortable and loved. For cats I make sure they’re well fed, played with, and their litter box gets taken care of. For dogs I make sure they’re fed well, played with, and taken outside a good amount of times.
“This was our second time having Dawn do drop in visits with our cats. I appreciate all the photos, especially of them all playing. Dawn went above and beyond on this booking - when she went downstairs to the basement for the litter boxes the morning after a bad storm, she discovered our basement was flooded. She called us right away and offered to get a box and some litter for our cats which was greatly appreciated. It's clear that Dawn's first priority is our cats, and that makes her a wonderful sitter.”
About: If you are looking for someone whose patient, caring, and loves animals you're in luck! I'll give your dogs a great time with doggie day care, dog walking, and or an overnight stay for those "ruff" times when you have a tight schedule and need someone else to care for your pet. At my house i have a more than willing play mate named Jackson. He's a senior medium sized dog who is pretty playful, excitable, and active for his age. I also have a Chihuahua mix breed dog named trouble who is friendly as well, around age 5. So for overnight stays and doggie daycare if your dog gets along with other dogs and is willing to meet this is your ideal sitter! I also do dog walking if you are interested, I always have treats available if your pet can have them☺️ I live in a house with my boyfriend and his parents. No kids here! My boyfriend and I live in the upstairs, his parents and his step dad's son(19yrs old) lives downstairs. However your dog(s) will have free reign on the whole house for the most part. I do have a fenced yard for the fur babies who need a fenced yard!😁 I hope you find this about me section helpful for picking me as your new dog sitter/walker. Thank you for your time!
