“Theresa was a godsend to me when I had a very stressful day lined up and was worried about getting my pup out for a walk. She communicated immediately when there was a potential access issue. She took multiple photos, with my pup looking very happy! We will definitely be booking with Theresa again! 😊 ❤️ 🐶”

About: I had dogs growing up that I was in charge of taking care of. I have a great cat that I've cared for for 10 years. I've house sat and pet sat multiple times. I'm reliable, communicative, and ethical. I moved to this area last year and have been a stay at home mom. I'd like to start earning my own income again and I like the flexibility of gig work like this. Some days I may have my two children with me (ages 6 and 2). Others, I'm available without them. Along with your request for my services, please indicate if you are uncomfortable with my children tagging along. I can provide care at your pet's home. I can handle big and small dogs alike. I will make sure they get the exercise and affection they need while also attending to the basics.

About: I love all animals! My family always had cats while I was growing up, so I am very comfortable taking care of them. My first dog was a lovely chocolate Lab; my current dog is a spirited English Pointer named Mellow. Whenever friends and family need someone to care for their pets when they travel, I am the person they ask for help. Any animal under my care is treated with the same love and attention as my own pets. I am very reliable as well. I have been teaching for 20 years at the same school district. I bring the same patience I show my students to any pet situation. I love to take walks or hikes with dogs, so your pup will not miss out on daily exercise. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a child-free teacher, I am very available during the summer months to meet your vacation and travel pet needs. I am available for the daily or weekly care that your pets needs while you are away. I follow a strict leash policy with my own dog, and I follow this protocol with any dog under my care. A leashed dog is a safe dog!

“Lyle is very attentive to my dog’s needs and timely. I am very happy with the communication, and I know that my dog is in great hands while I’m at work. Very pleased with everything and definitely continuing to book with Lyle! 🤗”

I have watched friends and family animals for them while they are on vacation.I believe animals are like family and should be treated that way.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with over 200 animals (goats, chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, even a chinchilla, ferret, parrot and monkey!) so I have been raised taking care of animals. I've owned over 20 different dogs in my lifetime - that's a lot of love, fun and even some tears. I am an active member of my family and church and thankfully those duties allow me to be at my house during the week - perfect for dog walks and home check-ins. I have three Havanese fur babies of my own and occasionally, depending on the fur friend I'm visiting, one of them may join me on a walk with another dog. If I go to your home, I will make sure to keep you updated on my time with your pup and I will talk qith you in detail about how I can best care for him/her while I spend time with them. I will do my best to spend a solid 30 min. of time with your fur friend. The only acception to this is if it is pouring rain. I will he happy to let your dog out in this case but we will not spend 30 min in the rain. A little sprinkle won't hold us back though!

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. I graduated from Veterinary Science Technology school in 2010 after 2 years. I interned and worked at an animal hospital after. I also volunteered at an animal ranch for abused/neglected animals. 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. If your dog likes playing fetch, tug of war, etc.

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: 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.

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.
