Pet Sitting in Southfield

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve raised and trained my two family dogs since they were puppies, handling things like daily walks, feeding, exercise, and basic obedience training. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and friends’ pets through drop-ins and pet sitting, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my two cats and two dogs every day. I’m currently working part-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable pet care, check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and staying organized, so I can consistently make sure pets are cared for and comfortable while their owners are away. I always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and energy levels, so I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any other care requests from owners.

“David was a pleasure to interact with and very caring and attentive toward our little kitties. One of our cats is especially skittish and usually hides when new people come over which he did at first, but in the end David prevailed in extracting our kitties better nature. Would recommend and commission again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have found a lot of joy in spending time with dogs, whether that be walking, playing or just hanging out! I work part time currently so I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to stop by multiple times a day if needed—whatever keeps your pup happy! Making sure I’m aware of my surroundings and prioritizing the pet’s safety is always first. Being conscious of where we are, what risks may be posed, and what kind of animals are around is something I stay aware of.

“Kathleen is the best! This was the second time we’ve booked with her! One of our cats is very skittish around strangers but Kathleen did such a good job she got her to come out of hiding and get some pets - a huge relief while we were out of town! Thank you Kathleen!”

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.

“We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!”

“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”

“Lavina was great in coming to care for our pup. We’ll plan to rebook in the future, and would recommend booking her for your dog sitting needs.”

“Super happy with the care I am getting with her visits with my pup! I’m new to rover and she has made this such a comfortable transition with me going back to work!”

Hannah M.

“I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.”

“I could not recommend Alaine enough. She was excellent with communication (cute pics/vids of our little guy, how her check-ins went with him, just all the things). She took excellent care of our cat and he clearly loved her so much!! I definitely recommend reaching out to Alaine for help with your pets, because she clearly has a passion and love for them. Thank you, Alaine!! We definitely hope to work together again soon. :)”

“Kelly is absolutely fantastic. She is super communicative when taking care of my pup, sends photos, is extremely timely, and my pup looks like she is having the best time. She took the time to do a Meet and Greet with us ahead of time and it made us feel super comfortable. We've had a great experience and would highly recommend her.”

“Very attentive and loved getting all the photos through the visit!”

“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
