About: I’ve only been dogless for 6 years in my whole life. All of my dogs have been small breeds but I dog sit regularly for larger breeds. I can reinforce basic obedience training upon request! Medically complex pets don’t scare me! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time to hang with your fur baby. I love singing in the car so traveling won’t be an issue. I would keep your pet company in your home and I would let them out frequently to potty. If you don’t have a yard we would leash up and walk outside.
“Keri was wonderful with our boys. It was our first time leaving them with someone other than family. Keri was willing to meet and greet our Shepard and pug before our day away! Things went well and we will definitely be asking Keri to watch our crew again! 😃👏❤️”

About: I’ve always loved animals and always treated other peoples pets as if they were mine. I’ve always felt guilty if I didn’t have time to give as much time and attention to a pet as I should. I’m available quite often. I am most available all day Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. But still available sometimes on other days. I take some online courses and help my dad at his workshop so my schedule is relatively flexible. I live in a Townhouse so I don’t have a yard. But my cat loves it when I open the window with the screen so he can look outside. My neighborhood is pet friendly for dog walks. And I have a water fountain designed for pets.
“Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.”


“Kristine was so great with my cat Sushi! She helped him with his electronic water bowl that fell over and was very sweet to him. Thank you so much and will ask again in the future! :)”

About: Hi! My name is Rina, and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their needs, energy levels, and comfort cues. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calm cuddle session, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time, making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m reliable with timing, flexible when plans change, and happy to accommodate specific routines. Whether it’s quick check-ins or longer visits, I make pet care a priority and make sure every visit is calm, consistent, and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I respect each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent—and adjust my care to meet their needs. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are always priorities, and I make sure owners feel confident and updated while they’re away.

About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.
“Theodore was amazing with my 16-year-old kitty Paulie. He quickly gained Paulie’s trust and affection. He did everything I asked and more. I felt really comfortable being away because of Theodore’s responsible and thoughtful care of Paulie.”

“Don’t hesitate for a moment to book with Kathryn. She will care for your pets and have fantastic communication with you. She is reliable, kind, and really cares about our pup. We are so thankful for her.”

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. We love animals and helping out fellow animal lovers. I have experience administering insulin to diabetic animals, feeding/watering and walking. I currently work only 3 days a week and my husband works from home full-time giving us plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! Currently I work 3 days a week at a hospital in Ann Arbor but do not have a set schedule. My husband works from home full-time Pets are allowed on furniture and the bed in our home. Our yard is fenced, allowing for ample playtime outside. We currently have a 2 year old dog of our own and a 4 year old cat that is very dog friendly.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare before. I shadowed a vet. I have my own dog, Nash, who is a Siberian Husky. I’ve dealt with meds, food schedules, and much more. I’m a Pre-Vet college student and work part time, so this is just a means to make extra money. I figured it would be fun because who doesn’t love meeting new pups? I have a dog who LOVES to play with others. He is a Siberian Husky, so he will def wear them out! Haha. He also has plenty of toys to share!
“I can’t say enough good things about Jocelyn! We were out of state for a wedding and the communication and pictures were top notch! My dog loves her and I’ll be sure to use Jocelyn again in the future!”

“Aubry was wonderful to work with. She really cared for our pets. She helped take stress away while I was having surgery knowing our pets were being cared for. Thank you so much Aubry!”

About: I have had a dog since birth. I have both big and little dogs, and I'm not intimidated by much. Each dog shows love differently. I am a full time sitter now. My long term care slots are filled up now! I have my daily daycare routine worked out pretty well, so I can do walks and/or pop-ins if necessary! We have a fenced in back yard, toys, love, and attention. Each animal deserves respect, dedication, and love to help make them feel safe always.
