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.
“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”
“Kara has walked my dogs several times and I highly recommend her. She’s always on time, texts me ahead of time as a reminder and walks them for the full expected time. My dogs absolutely love her and are very excited when she comes over.”
About: Over 7 years of caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. I have a dog and cat of my own and experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and diabetic cats. I offer flexible, attentive care with a personal touch, such as sending updates & pictures to pet owners. I’m currently in school for X-Ray technology, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, allowing me to provide check-ins, walks, or extended care based on each pet I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.

About: I love animals and believe their a wonderful companion for everyone! Dogs are my favorite "people" and if you listen to them they will tell you a thing or two! One of my favorite pets as a child was Smoky our families fluffy German Shepard/husky mix, she loved to play ball and roll in the dirt! I've had many pets along the way and love all animals!! I've helped many of my friends and family with theirs as well with walking, feeding, bathing and sitting! Presently I'm working part time as an independent housekeeper and my teenage son is away with his father on the weekends so my schedule is very flexible!

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. I am currently working a part time job, mostly on weekend mornings, and I’m looking to do as many walks as I can throughout the week - Tuesday-Thursday is usually the best, but can typically find a way to make other days work I am not planning on having dogs at my place, but my apartment does have a dog park right outside my building. 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.
About: I have experience with dogs as young as one and as old as fourteen. I easily adapt to all ages, temperaments, and unique care needs! In my career, I have also been told that I project a calm and empathetic nature, and I strongly believe that the animals I interact with can sense that, too. I tend to get along with every animal that I meet, and my love for animals runs VERY deep. I spent the last 5 years taking care of my sick senior dog who has recently transitioned. From there, I have spent extra time playing, dog sitting, and dog walking my family members fur babies so I can continue to spread my love for animals ❤️. Furthermore, as the weather is beginning to change here in the Midwest, I have been able to take weekly walks within my schedule! I am also fortunate enough to have 4 days off a week, so incorporating a walk around the block is very easy to squeeze into my lifestyle. Although dog walking can be very fun and relaxing, it is important to be aware of your surroundings. Animals can be unpredictable, therefore, when walking my fur babies, I make an appoint to be cautious of other animals that may be in the area such as deer, stray cats, or other dogs. Additionally, it is important to look over your shoulder, because cars can be extremely quiet and hard to hear sometimes!

Devere P.
“When my uncle passed away, I inherited his dog — a sweet but deeply traumatized pup who had just lost his best friend and didn’t trust anyone. I was overwhelmed with grief, and so was the dog. But Deve’re stepped in without hesitation. He showed patience, consistency, and so much compassion. He took the time to earn the dog’s trust, learning her triggers, keeping her safe, and slowly helping her feel secure again. He walked her gently, spoke to her softly, and created a calm space she could count on. Watching him care for her — especially during such a painful chapter — showed me how deeply he understands animals, especially ones who are hurting. He didn’t just help her heal — he helped me heal, too”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nathalie as a dog caretaker! From the moment we met, I could tell my pups would be in loving and capable hands. She is just an overall sweet and genuine person. Nathalie is reliable, attentive, and truly treats every dog like her own (she has one of her own too!). Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some quality playtime, I always feel completely at ease knowing our dogs (we have a Maltipoo and German Shepherd) are safe, happy, and well cared for. The updates and photos are such a thoughtful bonus, and our dogs always come home relaxed and content.

They have always been happy to see visitors but every time Kyle visits, it is another level of excitement and greeting, signaling to me that they are always well taken care of and loved with him. Kyle has always stayed at our home to dog sit, gives them walks, and respects and leaves our space clean every time. He does a great job balancing work and social life while staying with my dogs and is happy to hang at home with them. He is an animal lover who I know will always care for my pets as his own.”
