I never just 'dash in and out'—I stay to verify that your pet is truly well, happy, and fully provided for before I depart. My bond with animals began on a farm and has grown through years of caring for my own cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets like rabbits and lizards. I’ve even earned the nickname 'cat whisperer' for my ability to connect with shy or misunderstood felines. Why choose me for your drop-in visits? Professional Reliability: With a background in education and community administration, I am exceptionally detail-oriented and used to following complex care instructions. Diverse Experience: I am comfortable with all life stages, from the high energy of young pets to the gentle, patient needs of seniors.

I offer dedicated drop-in care that adapts to your pet's comfort level. From playful snuggles to quiet supervision for shy pets, I ensure every visit is meaningful.

“Sierra did a great job taking care of my pug, Mac, who requires daily medication and can be grumpy at times. She provided updates of each visit and included photos and videos as well. Will definitely use again!”

“Dana is the best pet sitter! She plays with the boys and takes excellent care of them. This winter she even fed the birds. I would give her more 🌟 if I had that option!”

“Jenna was wonderful, she took notes when she came over to meet my kittens, she listened and provided great care while I was away. Her notes and pics put my mind at ease knowing they were well taken care of. Will book her again”

“Jen provided drop-in visits and daily walks with my German Shepherd while I was out of town. He can be a little intimidating with his barking when someone new is on his property, but Jen was unfazed and just took her time meeting him. He immediately warmed up to her and they did great together. Besides exercise and feeding/watering, Jen administered eye drops and pills every day, lots of belly rubs and play time. She was punctual, trustworthy, and provided updates on all the things a pet parent needs to know, to be sure their pet is getting high quality care. Highly recommended!”

About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.

About: I've been a reliable and trustworthy caregiver to friends and family, allowing me to take care of dogs ever since I was in middle school. I'm a college student looking for a more productive summer. I'll always make time for your friend, family, child any day and at any time. Providing safe, stress-free pet care means I adapt my routines to the specific environment where the care takes place. When I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I make sure my approach always prioritizes the animal’s physical security, emotional well-being, and medical safety.

“She was very very good with the cats. Thank you so much for doing this . Until next time .”

About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life! I'm currently working as a personal trainer at Catalyst Fitness, so I am needed when clients have training sessions. However, this will never extend for more than a few hours (at most maybe 4-5) at a time. So even if I need to go to a training session(s), I can be right back to take care of the animals afterwards! I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors. So if that's what your pets enjoy I can absolutely provide! However, I realize animals have a wide spectrum of emotions and preferences, so I am very flexible to provide whatever is best for your pets!

“Will request Leo again.”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

“Lauren is absolutely amazing! She popped in to give Murphy a walk mid-day and even sent some pictures along. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

About: Dog owner for 18+ years, trained as puppies and love to walk and play! Owner of a sweet, playful large breed dog who is great with kids and other dogs. She loves to make new friends! Let me take care of your precious pet while you're unable to. Love to go for walks and can accommodate overnight. Can also administer meds if needed. Car rides available to pets who love the wind in their face! (Portable steps used for ingress/egress). I will accommodate a single dog at a time, or multiple dogs from the same household. Can work with puppies in an open area or crate training. I would love to get to know and establish a routine with your pet, or just an occasional visit as needed. Can't wait to meet your furry friends! Daily time with my dog is a must, so I know how important it is that your pet is given the attention he or she deserves. I'm mostly available in the afternoon after work and weekends, with occasional extended availability. I have an open yard with a cable/pulley so dogs can run freely without being too constrained. Inside we use gates to limit what our furry friends can get into while providing the majority of the house to roam. Large crate is available for private time and soft blankets for a place to relax!

“Melissa is reliable and consistent. We can always count on her to check in on our kitty while we’re away and send us cute photos. Highly recommend!”

Emily L.

“Kendra was excellent. Pleasant, friendly, and my dog was happy and content. I was staying overnight at a hotel and only needed her for a few hours. Many turned me down. Kendra was comfortable with it and we made a plan to meet in the lobby. Life saver. Thanks Kendra!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented, which means I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions exactly as requested. I also regularly care for my own golden retriever, handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and routine care. This has given me hands-on experience with an active, friendly breed that needs consistent exercise and attention. I’m especially comfortable with daily walks, exercise, and providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and behavior, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I understand that every dog is different and I take the time to adjust to their personality and needs. As a full-time University of Michigan student, I’m highly organized, reliable, and communicative. I show up on time, send regular updates, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the week, I’m available before and after classes for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I keep my schedule organized to ensure I can give each pet reliable, unrushed care. I am completely free on weekends, which allows me to be very flexible with timing for longer walks, multiple visits, or extended care. I prioritize consistency and clear communication, so pet owners always know when to expect updates and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m attentive to safety at all times—making sure leashes are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are supervised during walks and visits. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, especially in new environments, and adjust care as needed. I also prioritize clear communication and trust. I provide regular updates and photos, and I always leave a client’s home clean, secure, and just as I found it.
