About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from loyal childhood pets to rescuing animals in need. They’re more than companions to me; they’re family, healers, and honestly, some days I connect with them better than most humans. I understand their need for routine, comfort, patience, and love — the same values I bring from years of childcare experience. As someone who has cared for children professionally, I’m calm under pressure, intuitive to nonverbal cues, and deeply reliable. I know how to create safe, engaging environments, and that carries over naturally to how I care for pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog who just needs a gentle walk and some TLC, I meet them where they’re at. Hi! I’m a college student currently doing my internship at Novi High School, working toward a career in school counseling. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, and in between my family life and my internship, I’m looking to care for pets this summer to fill my cup and earn some extra income doing something I truly love. Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve had pets since I was a kid, including rescues — and they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I believe animals deserve the same kind of patience, consistency, and love that I bring to both parenting and working with students. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, grounded, and will treat your pet like family, I’d be honored to help. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active — all while ensuring they’re safely leashed, hydrated, and secure in their environment. For cats, I focus on a calm, clean, and enriched space with fresh food and water, clean litter, and gentle affection on their terms. Whether it’s managing energy levels or giving space when needed, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust in every moment of care.

“Oreo had a great time!”


“Kristin was very thorough and thoughtful when meeting our pups. She did a great job walking our dogs and following up with how they did. We would definitely consider booking with her again.”


“Hanna has been great with our dog Makita! She comes home from her walks with Hanna happy and well exercised. She is punctual and a great communicator. We would highly recommend Hanna to anyone looking for a dog walker”

About: With 20+ years of animal expertise, I've wholeheartedly embraced my true calling: catering to the every whim of our feline overlords. My lifelong connection to nature has given me an uncanny ability to anticipate a cat's every subtle demand, a skill honed further by years of serving my own cat and countless friends' and family's kitties. Consider me your cat's highly-qualified, personal staff. I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility to set my own hours. This means I’m usually available during the week and am also available for longer term sitting When caring for your cat in their space, trust and respect for your routine and home are my top priorities. I meticulously follow all your instructions, ensuring a secure environment for your lil friend. As a cat owner myself, I understand their unique needs. Expect daily updates and photos, providing peace of mind your cat is safe, content, and thriving!

About: I am willing to do two meet & greets. The first one is with you and your pet(s). Then, another, as a sample service. See how it goes- how happy your pet is with everything. Then decide. I have experience helping care for neighbourhood dogs and cats. I have done this on the side for years for friends in my neighbourhood. Also, I have been the guardian of four dogs, and four cats as well. All of the dogs have been large breeds- Great Dane (George), pit-bulls (Hugo and Sweetie), and a golden retriever named Rustie. The neighbourhood breeds that I cared for have been small & large. My cats have been three Bombays (Fate, Nineteen, and Meme), and one American Short-Hair (Washington). Also, my experience spans to special-needs and elderly pets. Sweetie was a three-legged pit-bull. George was diabetic with insulin administered three times per-day. Nineteen the cat was on a special needs diet. Rustie- arthritis medication. Hugo- CBD for bone-cancer. I have been involved in the training of dogs and cats- though not a certified trainer. For instance, I had two dogs that became AKC Certified Canine Good Citizens (Rustie & Sweetie). Each I took to Children's Hospital in Detroit to visit the kids, and nursing homes for the elderly. They were also Certified Therapy Pets. I like walking for my daily exercise. I think that iti is important for humans and dogs. I have a business that I do the work for in the evening- and this is my day job. (Note- If you have a kitty-litter in the home, I am willing to change the litter- if it is scoopable and you provide- within my time block for no extra fee. I have done this in the past for my neighbourhood pets.) I am available within the time-block of 11:00 am to 3:00 pm seven days per week. On weekends I am willing to work later in the day- and I will reflect this in the schedule. I have a business that I tend to in the evenings during the week. I believe that pets have a natural-instinct for judging character perhaps even better than humans. Sort of a sixth-sense that we cannot comprehend. The point of this whole thing is to improve the lives of your pets. I wish to make it enjoyable and form a true friendship with your buddies.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is joining me for boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time and have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Tuesday, anytime before 10am on Wednesdays, after 1pm on Thursdays, and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a secure, fenced-in yard—perfect for safe playtime and potty breaks. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly community that’s great for peaceful, enriching walks without heavy traffic or loud distractions. Whether I’m staying or your pup is staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where they feel safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.

About: I’ve never owned a dog myself, but I’ve lived with roommates who have and consider my brother’s dog to be one of mine. 😎 I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for other friends of mine for years and I’ve always loved spending time with dogs.

In terms of visiting other homes, I will always keep a close eye on dogs and make sure to follow whatever rules are in place.

Kara was amazing and I can’t thank her enough for walking my dogs for the first time while I was stuck out of town unexpectedly. It was very short notice. Quick to respond and arrive. Highly recommend. Thank you for helping me out and my babies!

I had the privilege of having Jennifher walk my Archie nightly for 3 weeks. She was very courteous, punctual and most importantly warm and kind. Archie doe's have a tendency to be nervous with strangers, he looked forward to the nightly walks. Thank you 🐶

Fred is great! Very flexible and responsive! Our dogs adore him and we are forward to using him on all our future dates!

great experience. would definitely use kara again. she came on time and tried to give him the best exercise she could within the 1/2 hour time frame. thanks so much!

Taiye remains the very soul of patience with our nervous little blind girl Penny, bearing with her quirks and keeping her and her sister hydrated and happy. She’s been such a great match that she’s now their regular caregiver. Thanks for easing the snorts’ transition to the neighborhood, Taiye!
