“Rhianna did a great job with our dogs when we were gone for over a week! House was well taken care of and dogs were well loved. Already booking her for our next trip”

“Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏”

About: I’ve just recently moved home to Midland, MI with my family, after eight years in Maryland & Germany. I work a fulltime job during the fay, but am flexible to weekend & eveningschedules. When I am in care of your dog(s), they are my priority. I've owned dogs & have babysat them frequently throughout the last twenty years. Additionally, I have house sat on many occasions- including about five years with Rover. This has been an extremely enjoyable job that I approach with great care. When in care of your pet, I do my best to maximize our time together in order to ensure that you are getting a good value for my service. I am straight forward, honest and dependable. I enjoy all types of dogs & am very comfortable in getting acclimated to new ones. I have no problem in adjusting to any preferences that any of my clients would prefer in pet sitting. My weekly routine is very consistent. It will be noted in the schedule section of my profile should I require any time off, which rarely happens. I always gather emergency contact & vet information; then form a plan of action with the client. Above all else, safety is my top priority.
About: I have known dogs for about 8 years and worked at an animal kennel for 2 years, taking care of 2-month-old puppies to 17-year-old dogs. I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”

“Sydney is a very personable lady. She listens well to instructions, and communicates with understanding, acceptance and flexibility. She was available last minute( same day) which was such a relief to us. We look forward to having her be our “go to person” when we need a pup sitter.”

“Both of our animals warmed right up to Candice as soon as she came in for our meet and greet. My dog usually barks at strangers but didn't this time. Candice was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to leave our home for a few days feeling comfortable with the booking knowing our animals were in good hands. She also sent plenty of updates and photos and left our home cleaner than we left it.”

“Shaylin was an amazing dog sitter. She stayed with our boys who have horrible separation anxiety.she made sure that Larkin and Blaze knew that they were going to be ok while we were gone. (It was the longest we have ever left them) Shaylin feed, walked, played and made sure that both boys had their potty breaks. She would provide us with pictures through out her stay. I would highly recommend Shaylin to anyone. She will be our regular dog sitter for sure from here on out.”

“Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for over 30 years. Animal husbandry is my passion. Understanding animal behavior is crucial and I insist on a meet and greet to ensure we are all compatible. I am retired and have an open schedule to meet the needs of your favorite fur baby. I’m currently at a time in my life where I want to spend more time with animals. Being retired frees me up to do just that. I live a simple quiet life now and would enjoy sharing my skills of caring and loving your family fur baby. At the clients home is my preference. I feel your pet needs the security of their own familiar space and home when you are gone. Also to have all their treats and toys and beds allow them to interact with me in a safe environment. Walking playing and snuggling 24/7 when you are not home is my goal!
About: Cats were my first pets. Dogs and cats are now my babies and a big part of my life! I have decades of experience with pets in animal shelter settings and in my own home.

I am a part-time sitter with decades of experience with animals. My goal is to give others peace of mind when they have to be away from their pets short-term. Safety of your babies is my priority. I will make sure I understand their needs well in advance of my visit. Photos of your pets will be texted to you during my visit so you can see how they are doing in your absence.

Sydney did great! I checked in on my camera a few times during her stay with my animals and everyone looked perfectly happy and chill. Todo was pretty relaxed when we got back and all our cats were sleeping! She even got rid of a mouse my cats found! She was also very mindful about my cats medical conditions, which was great! We will definitely hire Sydney again!

Lucy was so patient and kind with my huge baby! This was the first time in 8 years I’ve ever left Gracey with a sitter because of her severe anxiety. Lucy came to visit us a few days prior and I was so pleased to see her interact with my dog. It calmed my fears and I was actually able to enjoy my night out without worry. Thank you Lucy! We will definitely use her again.
