Melissa was great! She arrives on time and provides great communication and lots of pics and videos while babysitting. She’s very friendly and I felt my puppy was in very safe hands. I will definitely her again, and I highly recommend her.

About: I have worked in the veterinary medical field for 6+ years and have thousands of hours of experience as a veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, with all different personalities- that’s what makes them all unique and I love it! I am currently very flexible with my weekly routine and I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand if you feel more comfortable. As an avid cat owner, I have Toulouse naturally leash-trained. I have an enclosure for him so he can enjoy the outside, while also being safe. At clients’ homes, I follow all instructions to make sure the pet is safe. I also will make sure the pet is always in my sight if outside.

Kristina did an awesome job with Brody and Bella. Before our trip we had 3 meet and greets. Bella can be nervous around new people and krsitina took her time with her and eventually warmed up to her. Brody got all the snuggles belly rubs he wanted. She made us feel very comfortable with all the texts and pictures she sent. We will be using Kristina in the future.

We had such a great experience with Deena! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly loves animals. She was happy to meet our dogs beforehand, which really put our minds at ease. Everything went smoothly while we were away, and we came home to happy pups. Would absolutely book her again without hesitation!

Christine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Jackson and Kato. This was her first stay with them, and unfortunately she walked into a situation none of us fully understood at the time. Our senior dog, Jackson, was in the very early stages of what we later learned was likely a stroke or other serious medical event. His condition deteriorated rapidly after we returned home, and we ultimately had to help him cross the rainbow bridge just a few days later. Throughout her stay, Christine was observant, compassionate, communicative, and incredibly kind to both dogs. She cared for Jackson with patience and love during what turned out to be one of the final weekends of his life, and I will always be grateful for that. Knowing he spent those days being cuddled, comforted, and genuinely cared for brings our family tremendous comfort. She also completely won over our other senior dog, Kato, who adored her from the start. Christine followed detailed medication instructions, cared for two dogs with significant medical needs, took wonderful care of our home, and communicated thoughtfully throughout her stay. Most importantly, she treated our dogs like they were her own. We would welcome Christine back without hesitation and hope to have her spend time with Kato again in the future. Anyone considering booking with her should feel completely confident doing so. Thank you, Christine, for your kindness, professionalism, and for showing so much love to our boys.

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow your instructions closely so your dog’s schedule stays consistent. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, relaxed, and at ease—even when you’re not home. While I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve spent many years caring for family dogs and dog-sitting regularly. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly with new dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from pit bull mixes to mid-sized doodles to small Maltese. I’m confident working with a variety of breeds, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your dog’s home. I also provide regular updates with plenty of photos of your pup, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I have a lot of availability this summer. I’m only taking a few college classes, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care throughout the week. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

We are so happy we booked Christina! She sent me daily updates of Layla with some photos, which we love! She was also very respectful of our home and helpful to being in mail and some packages and take the trash out to the curb(thank you!!). We had no doubt Layla was a happy girl in Christina’s care and we will definitely book her again! :)

About: I bring a lot of energy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Even though I don’t have a pet of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through friends and family and have lots of experience with walks and playtime. I’m a very active individual and is extremely diligent/consistent, so I’m especially great for dogs who need regular exercise, structure, and engagement. I typically go on 4 mile walks everyday and would love to have your pet join me. I just finished medical school and am in my in-between phase before residency, so I have a lot of free time and love using it to stay active. I already go on 2–3 walks a day (even in the cold Michigan weather!), so having a dog join me would be a perfect addition to my routine I truly believe dogs are like little kids they need attention, patience, and a safe environment. I’ve worked in childcare before, which helped me become very attentive and adaptable, even when pets can’t directly communicate what they need. I’m also very clean and respectful. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space as if it were my own and make sure everything is left just as you found it. I recently completed medical school, so being responsible, trustworthy, and detail-oriented is very important to me.

We’ve found Adam to house sit our two dogs. From the initial meet and greet to weekend long house sitting, Adam good good care of our senior dogs and left our place as it was. He listened to our requests and needs and made notes. He communicated with photos each day and it was so helpful to know the dogs were happy and well with him. I would use Adam again and would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a reliable dog sitter .

About: I have cared for pets my entire life, from watching extended family’s dogs and cats to owning and loving my own. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same care and attention that I would my own. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, or ensuring their routine stays on track, I am committed to proving excellent care and an stress-free experience for both you and your pet! I am currently working full time. However, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention and time to pet care when needed. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine! I promise to plan my day around their needs ensuring they receive the most adequate attention and care. I am available on weekends, and weekdays for sure after 5pm, but I can adjust that schedule if need be. I prioritize safety, trust, and an stress-free environment when caring for my pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home. I follow any specific instructions that are given regarding feeding, walking, medications, and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping the pet’s environment secure. I also keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos of their furry friends. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Ainsley took care of our 70lb Bernedoodle in our home for 4 nights in August 2025; she stayed there for the overnights. We received daily pictures and even more when I requested them. We didn’t know how our dog’s appetite and sleeping habits would change with us being gone, but she kept a close eye on it and kept us informed. She’s responsive to questions, and also brought in our mail, packages and garbage cans from the curb. I didn’t have to worry about our fur baby being lonely and feeling abandoned, and we enjoyed a much needed getaway. She is competent, responsible and respectful and I would request her again in a heartbeat!
