5. Chloe T.
“Chloe is a superstar when it comes to caring for my dog, Basil! She has been an absolute lifesaver, whether it’s watching Basil while I’m away or taking her for walks during the day. Basil absolutely loves Chloe! 💕 Chloe goes above and beyond what I could ask for, giving Basil plenty of cuddles, attention, and exercise to ensure she’s happy and tired out. Whether it’s a walk or a run, Chloe tailors the activities to Basil’s needs, and I always come home to a very content pup. I couldn’t recommend Chloe enough to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter. If I could give her 10 stars, I would ⭐️”

10. Peyton B.
About: I have had many years of caring for all animals including dog and cats. Since 16 I have ran the shop on my own while my parents went on vacation. I have all the experience and knowledge of a dog boarder right in your own home. I moved from my hometown with my wife to complete college. I have 3 cats that I care for daily their names are : Saki, Bruno, and Nalia. Each dog is different, some dogs like to play fetch and challenge their brain while others just like to lay around and be spoken with. Having many animals growing up and caring for them at the pet store I’ve learned how to understand them.

13. Jakob J.
“Jakob always gives my Bernice mountain dog, Manny, the best love and care. He has been watching my dog for many years now and there is nobody I would trust more. He gives Manny endless love and attention. He takes him on longs walks and is able to control my 100lb beast with ease. He makes sure he is properly fed, and takes him for a swim on hot days. The love he shows towards my dog brings me joy and I know my dog is taken care of whenever I’m out of town.”

15. Kelsey W.
“Kelsey is truly someone who truly loves animals. She treats her own pets like members of her family and would do anything for them. In addition to caring for her own animals, friends and family have continuously come to Kelsey for help in feeding, walking, and sitting their animals as well. She is responsible, reliable, and very dedicated. I can honestly say she treats every animal as if it was her own, which is to say with immense love and care.”
16. Samantha B.
“I couldn’t be happier with the amazing care my dog received from Sam. She was so sweet, attentive, and truly passionate about animals. Throughout the stay she kept me updated with pics and videos, and I could tell my dog was having a great time. She immediately warmed up to Sam upon arrival- and when I came back she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful and will definitely be booking her again. Definitely worth it if you’re in either the Detroit/MT pleasant area. Highly recommend! :)”
17. Claire K.
About: I have worked in a kennel for two years. It has given me valuable skills on how to work with dogs and understand them better. I am a student athlete and a double major so I am a little busy! However I’ll always be able to make time for pets. I will most likely be available middle of the day. It will most likely range from each pet. Each animal needs a different type of love. I would ask about your dog and want to know what they like and don’t like, so I can make sure they are happy.
18. Michaela S.
“Michaela is an incredibly responsible person, who is passionate and caring towards animals. She is very capable to taking care of pets for any amount of time, and making sure that they have enough attention they need. She would make sure that any specifications needed for your pet(s) would be followed exactly, and would communicate with you very well.”
19. Jessica V.
“Jessica has about 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, both personal and foster. She is very attentive to each of our dogs unique needs, including medication, diet and activity.”
20. Ella B.
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!
