“I am SOOOOOO impressed with the care that was giving to my FurBabies. If there were 10 Stars I would give Dana 20 Stars. I felt so at ease that my babies were taken care of and most of all that they were being LOVED. Dana came to meet my "kids" and after her visit my Tyler went to the door and cried for her to come back. I was sold at that point. I WILL use Dana again.”



“She has been absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat, who grew very attached to her. She went above and beyond, even helping with things that weren’t part of the contract, and I am so grateful for her kindness and dedication. Having her as my sitter gave me complete peace of mind—I couldn’t have asked for a better person!”


About: I genuinely love the animals I take care of. I have experience with complete care of cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. If an animal seems unwell I will contact the owner immediately, take them to the vet per owner's consent, and provide care per vet per owner consent. I appreciate each pet I meet and care for as unique and enjoy getting to know their personalities. I've learned to " listen " and understand what each pet needs or is asking for. I provide most importantly love, cuddles, space if requested, grooming, watering, feeding, medication administration, blood sugar testing, injections, dressing changes, subcutaneous fluids, syringe feedings, walks, and whatever they need with consent and instructions from the owners. I have also assisted Vet's with horse care during sedation, dressing changes, and Xrays out in the field. I value trust with owners and the pets I care for. If I house/pet sit I make sure the home and pets remain in good order, safe, and clean. I would love to care for your furry friend! I work perdiem as an RN, and have a lot of availability. I can stay in your home, or come for visits to provide feeding, medication administration, litter box cleaning, play, walks, and assessing each pet for any signs they might not be feeling their best. I will always notify owners of anything out of the norm including anything I note in their home. 100% of my pet sitting is provided in their own home. I feel it is less stressful for the pet, and unfortunately I am unable to have animals visit where I am currently living. Whatever your furry child needs I will provide. I am also respectful of your home, keeping it clean, undamaged, and safely locked.

“Taylor has been working to get my shy boy more comfortable with her and she made a ton of progress in a very short time. Treats are the way to his heart lol. Thank you so much for continually working with my boy!”


About: I love all animals! I started working at a Veterinary Clinic in 2004 and ended up going to school to be a Veterinary Technician in 2007. I graduated with my Veterinary Technician degree in 2009 and worked in the field for a few years until the hours were more difficult after I had 2 children. I still love animals and would love to take care of your furry family members. I currently work part time and I work from home. I make my own work hours, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your fur babies. All pets are treated with kindness and love, just like they were my own. When your dog is at my house, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do live on ~4 acres of land that I can do leash walks on. If they need to get some energy out, I do have a large fenced in garden that I can let them run off leash in or chase a ball etc. I don't have any dogs in my home currently but do have 2 teenage sons and one loves animals as much as I do!

About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I currently work 4 days per week at a large hospital system in southeastern Michigan. I am available Friday evening through Monday Evening. Perfect for caring for your pup during that weekend get away. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

“Sharon did a great job with my dog for midday drop in visits for 4 days. They got along great and Draagan appeared happy when I came home from work. She was on time, thorough, and followed instructions to a T.”


“Grace did such an amazing job with our dog and two cats! She was always so timely in her drop ins, and kept us very informed on how everyone was doing. We really appreciate that she was able to sit for us fairly last minute as well. She made our pets feel loved and safe and we couldn't have asked for more!”


About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From chicken, ducks, and hedgehogs to cats and dogs and I love each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live on 1.6 acres off of a private road. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and sniff for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.


About: I've worked at doggy daycares and have been taking care of pets ever since I was a child watching over neighborhood friends animals. I have 2 rescue dogs of my own and have a very positive and friendly energy towards our pet friends. I work Tuesday thru Saturday 8 till 4 so I'm available all times other than that. All day Sundays and Mondays. And anytime after 4pm all other days. As I stated I have a very friendly and charming engery that I know animals pick up on. I'm a gentle soul who loves to help all things animals.

About: I have had dogs at my house since I was born, both mine and the many dogs that belonged to my extended family. I don’t shy away from big dogs and won’t get overwhelmed easily though I love our small furry friends as well. I have been taking care of my a family friend’s dog after school and some weekends since I was eleven. I’m home from college and have a summer job, but am looking for a way to save extra money to hopefully study abroad next year! I have a summer job but it doesn’t keep me too busy and I’m looking to make more money wherever I can. I have a calming personality that will put your furballs at ease. I am comfortable and familiar with many toys and love to give as much attention to animals as they need.

“Kat and Joe were wonderful with Abbey! You can really tell how much they love dogs and enjoy what they do. I received updates and pictures and was so happy with how the visit went. Will definitely be calling them again!”


“Stephanie is fantastic! She is always on time, leaves me pictures and notes on how Stella did. Stella enjoys their visits and I couldn't be happier and more grateful!”


About: Hi, I'm Mo, and I'm a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for my two 8-year-old dogs, who I've had since they were puppies. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry family members. My dogs are a beloved part of my family, and I treat all pets I care for as if they were my own. Dogs, in particular, hold a special place in my heart, and I’m dedicated to making the world a better place for them. I enjoy being outdoors, taking in the fresh air, and connecting with nature, so walks with your pup will always be a refreshing experience. I’m excited to meet your furbaby and take them on a stroll around the block! I'm currently a stay-at-home Mom. So I have lots of time during the day to go on walks with dogs. I like to do 30 - 60 minute walks depending on the pup and can do longer walks if needed. For walks with dogs, I like to have them wear a harness as opposed to collars. I feel that it's safer for them and easier for me to take control in case they get overexcited when other dogs walk by. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I take extra care to follow their regular routines to minimize any stress or anxiety. I make sure to give them love, attention, and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and positive interaction. I'm always mindful of their environment and ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness while their owners are away.

About: I have been taking care of my families dogs my whole life as well as helped family and friends when they are on vacation. I am an animal lover at heart and have helped rescue many cats and dogs off the streets. I am a very trust worthy person with a good heart. I currently work from home part time, running my online business. I have plently of time to spend with your animals. I enjoy going on walks short or long. I am a very trustworthly and caring person. I will enter your home with the upmost respect and take care of your animal with loving care. You will not have to worry about your personal belongings or your pets well-being while in my care.

“Heather did a great job caring for our 2 year old lab mix. She was on time for each visit and we really appreciate the feedback she provided with photos each time she stopped by. I hope she is available when we need dog sitting again in the future. Thank you so much Heather!!”


About: Hi, I’m thrilled to help care for your pets in South Lyon! As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles. Including weekly leopard gecko care, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. Why trust me? I run my own insurance agency, so you can count on me for responsibility and professionalism, qualities that give peace of mind beyond just walking or watching your pet. I take pet safety seriously: I always double-check leashes, collars, and harnesses, and I’m experienced with secure yard gates and home protocols. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being come first. I know how important communication is, so I’ll always keep you updated and send plenty of photos to ease your mind while you’re away. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I respect their boundaries. Making sure they enjoy each visit in an stress-free environment is what I do. Let me be the reliable, friendly helper your best friend deserves, so you can focus on your day knowing they’re safe and happy! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for, even with being a single parent and my insurance agency responsibilities. Owning my own business gives me flexibility, so I can accommodate your pet’s preferred timetable, whether that’s early mornings, midday breaks, or weekends. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, secure environment with clean spaces, fresh water, and cozy areas for rest so every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, sticking to their feeding schedule, preferred toys, walking habits, and playtime, just as you request. If a pet has special needs or prefers their own space, I adjust my approach accordingly. I always respect boundaries and never force interaction. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as I do my own. I ensure your pet remains safe and happy by maintaining consistent routines and providing regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. Each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I take a gentle approach with shy pets and a playful one with energetic companions so you can feel confident knowing your four-legged family member is in loving, reliable hands.

“Abbey was super, very flexible schedule-wise and proactive about asking about our pup (noticed he had some bug bites and wanted to make sure he was OK). She kept our pup happy and cared for, and we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
