“Susan is a Amazing Animal Sitter definitely going to book again !. She showed me things on how I can do better . I was running late from work and she still stood by and waited.”


“Heather was great about sending photos and updates while we were away which gave me a lot of peace of mind that my girls were behaving and doing well. She did an excellent job taking care of Bea and Betty. We came home to happy dogs and everything as we left it.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I have spent many years watching dogs, and houses, for my neighbors, friends and families. I volunteered at the Michigan Humane Society as a dog trainer for many years, specializing in dogs who were shy or scared, and helping them work through their anxiety to increase their adopt ability. I have extensive experience with elderly dogs and their special healthcare needs. I have puppies at home, so I know all about the shenanigans those little ones can get up to as well. I am currently self-employed, work from home and can set my own schedule. This allows me the flexibility to support your needs for pet care. in a client’s home I care for their pets by ensuring they are comfortable with my presence, maintain a consistent routine, and have adequate stimulation. It can be stressful for pets when their owners are away, so extra affection and exercise are very helpful. I look to the pet parents to help me understand the needs & quirks of the individual animals. Unless your pet is a living garbage disposal with an iron stomach, I would want you to provide treats to help avoid upset tummies. If I watch animals in my own home, they will spend time with my elderly coonhound and my one-year-old Australian Shepherd puppy. I have a large yard with a tall privacy fence, and extra dog crates suitable for dogs up to 80 pounds. I crate visiting dogs in my home for their safety as well as the well-being of my own dogs. I can perform basic grooming services for an additional fee.
“Lauren was amazing! My dog loves her and had a great time. She stayed all weekend, and sent great updates. I felt wonder about being away and knowing my dog was in very capable hands.”


“Dani did an amazing job sitting our two dogs. The pups seem well walked, and we'll cared for. They even seem a little sad that she's gone now. The house was left in fantastic condition as well. Thanks Dani!”

About: When I am asked to pet sit I always am sure to maintain the pet's lifestyle that they have while you are home. It is a guarantee they will get lots of play time and love! I have watched pets for 10 years and I always have heard great things about my pet care. I love taking pets for walks and playing with their favorite toy! When I am pet sitting I am with your pet as much as you need me to be. I have trained puppies to sit, hive five, lay down, leash manners, tricks and fetch. I also have administered medicine by mouth to different sized dogs. I would love to get to know you and your fur baby! :) I love going on walks with my dog so having that extra walking time outdoors is great. I work full time but am able to make time for your pet. When you trust me to watch your pet, I am always going to treat them as if they are my own! Following all directions you give me is top priority. I always leave knowing your pet is happy because that’s what I would want for my pets!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have taken my own dog to puppy training courses. I have dog-sat and cat-sat many times in the past for friends and neighbors, and I am very comfortable around new animals. I am available for stop-ins and walks throughout the day on Monday, Saturday and Sunday. The rest of the week days I am available from 5pm-10pm. I understand that every animal is unique and will require different levels of care. I will follow your instructions to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of during my visits!
“Megan was greating watching Calvin for a weekend! She provided updates while we were away and treated our place like her own. We would definitely have Megan watch Calvin again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds and sizes since I was a kid. I work at a dog daycare and boarding center where I take care of all kinds of dogs with various needs and administer medication if needed as well. Im working part-time and my schedule is flexible so I can be available for pet care at any time most days of the week when needed. I can show up to your home and take your dog on walks or let them outside either on leash or in your yard if it's fenced in. I can feed dogs and cats and play with them to get out some of their energy. If your pet needs medication or vitamins I can administer those as well from my experience doing so at my job.

So grateful for Maria who was able to care for my extremely anxious pup while we were away. She followed his routine, gave him meds, provided lots of walks and snuggles, and even cleaned up some not fun accidents. She also kept me updated with photos throughout the day.

Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs!! She stayed at our home while we went out of town and dealt with our 1 year old golden retriever, 6 year old golden retriever, and my parents 16 year old mix breed. She took amazing care of all 3 dogs even though they didn’t make it easy on her at times. She kept our house clean as well which was a huge bonus. Emily kept us updated throughout our trip with updates and lots of cute photos. We truly appreciate her caring for our fur babies and can’t wait to use her again in the future. It’s so important to find someone you trust who cares about your pets as much as you do, Emily is definitely that person. You won’t regret hiring her to watch your pets!

10/10 I highly recommend Megan! She recently house sat for us while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job! She was extremely respectful of our pup’s routine and gave him so much love and attention. Megan is extremely responsive and sends great updates. She was also very respectful of our home, watered our plants, and left it spotless. Needless to say, we came home to a very happy and relaxed pup. ☺️
