About: I’ve grown up with animals in my house my entire life- My household has always had dogs and cats (currently three dogs, two cats) and we’ve opened our house to foster multiple animals throughout my childhood. I’ve worked in doggie daycare and grooming settings, and have extensive experience handling dogs and cats of different personalities and sizes. I’m a college student home for the summer ready and willing to help during the week, or those wanting to make sure their pets are in good hands during a weekend getaway. I have experienced working in many different pet care settings and understand every owner has a different approach to making sure their furry friend is comfortable and safe. Whether it be walking only on leash, separating meals, or any other instruction, I am ready to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable with your animal!

About: I have pets from cats to pugs to rottweilers so I'm very comfortable working with both small and bigger dogs! I've had pets my whole life, my family used to foster dogs so I've been caring for all kinds of dogs since I was a kid. I have done drop in's with friends and families pets while they were on vacation. I've worked with pets that take time to trust and can tell when a dog is uncomfortable and needs space/a break. I also have experience working with special foods/medications. Littles, seniors, and everything in between are welcome I've worked with them all in my personal life! I'm a full time university student trying to put myself through college! I'm home for the summer and my schedule is extremely flexible! I'm willing to work holidays. I'm able to follow owners' requests for their pet whether that be using command words, crating, feeding, playing, walking, litter boxes, light grooming. Any routines or training you have I'm more then willing to impliment them into my visit!

“Amy came today and helped me out tremendously! I stayed home sick and did not have the strength to walk my dog. We made a pick up adjustment and Amy still came and walked my pup. I'm so grateful!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 years old, pet-sitting for the neighbors and caring for my family’s many pets. When I was 9, I started helping out at a veterinary clinic, aiding in animal care there for years. I have continued to work with animals since then, volunteering at animal shelters and interning at wild animal sanctuaries. I absolutely love animals and am passionate about providing animal care. I am a college student (studying animal biology!) on break for the summer, so I am available at all times until mid-September. However, I will not be available for three weeks, from July 13 - August 8. I grew up helping veterinarians at my mother’s veterinary clinic, so I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and how to properly care for pets. I am very calm, as well as active, so I am able to fit the type of energy your pet may need.

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.

I've owned over 20 different dogs in my lifetime - that's a lot of love, fun and even some tears.

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.

About: Usually animals gravitate towards me and aren’t scared of me. I’ve had 3 pets ever since I was 4 I had a dog and a Guinea pig and now I have a cat. And my boyfriend’s roommate recently got a golden retriever puppy so I’ve been caring for him. I’m currently working part time only 4 days a week and will have plenty of time day and night to take care of cute pets! I care for my cat by always checking her water and dry food to make sure it’s full and cleaning her litter box 1-2 times a day. I also give her wet food twice a day. In my clients home I will make sure to leave the house cleaner than they left it!

About: I grew up wanting to be a Veterinary Technician. I always had pets growing up. I have a special place for animals in my heart.

In May 2011, I started up my own pet service and in 2018 came a pet product business. I am knowledgeable in many areas, including: Animal Behaviors Dog/Cat Grooming (basic-nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression dogs) CPR and First Aid I do have dogs and cats of my own to take care of daily. Animals require a lot of hard work, dedication and love, always! I do my dogs/cats nails biweekly, ear cleanings weekly and anal gland expressions as needed. I also brush my dogs teeth! I always love to do hiking walks on nice days! I make sure there is fresh water before and after walks. I can provide frequent potty breaks and some mental stimulation.

About: My name is Heather M, I graduated from Grand Valley State University ‘21 and The Michigan School of Psychology ‘22. I am 24 years of age and live in South Lyon, MI. I love animals and I cannot express that enough, they are just so full of joy! I would be grateful to have the opportunity to provide your pet with the proper care necessary while you are away. I can run or walk with your pets as long as they please to get out and enjoy whatever weather we Michiganders are experiencing that day. Thank you to anyone who considers me, and for your time. I work flexible hours Monday through Friday. Overall I am free most of the time! If on a weekday, if your pet is okay being left alone for a couple hours then it should work out:) Friday-Sunday I am free all hours of the day and can provide constant care. I am a huge lover of all things plants and animals. My family and I have 3 cats and a gecko ourselves, however, we love dogs! Your pets are safe within our home, preferably if your pet does well with cats. Our cats are indoor/outdoor so in summer they will typically stay outdoors and in winter they are mostly indoors. We live in front of an elementary school and are very close to a pet clinic, so it is a rather safe place to stay! We do do not have a fully fenced in backyard, but there are large areas for your pet to run around.
