Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!

About: Dogs are incredibly special companions and family members and I pride myself in ensuring your pups feel safe and loved when in my care! With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and needs, including puppies, adults, and seniors with mobility challenges or special care requirements. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's unique personality and earning their trust at their own pace. What Sets Me Apart: Full-service Care: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, training, and boarding--all in one place! Safe and Calm Home: I'm fully insured and provide pet care full-time in a non-smoking, child-free, pet-free home. I follow your pet’s routine and can accommodate dogs who need to be the only pup for daycare or boarding. Personalized 1-on-1 Care: I accept only one dog at a time for boarding or daycare, ensuring individualized attention, enrichment, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Two dogs from the same household may be accepted case by case. Certified Positive Reinforcement Trainer: GoodPup-certified trainer offering support with leash skills, basic cues, potty training and more. (See my Rover Trainer profile for details) Medication & Recovery Support: Experienced with pills, oral syringes, injections, post-surgical care, and physical therapy support. I look forward to caring for your dog as if they were my own! I currently provide pet care full-time. See my calendar or message me directly for availability. Pet parents will receive text and photo updates throughout their loved ones stay and can contact me at any time. In your home (Drop-in Visits, Dog Walking): I will meet your pet where they are at depending on their age, energy levels, comfort and mobility. I will provide them with love and affection, enrichment, and exercise, sticking to their routine so they are as happy and as comfortable as possible while you’re away. About my home (Doggy Daycare and Boarding): I live in a cozy 3-bedroom 1,000 sq ft bungalow on a fully fenced double lot -- perfect for pups to play, explore and relax safely. My neighborhood in Wyandotte has lots of walkable, dog-friendly routes, and I love getting outside. Durable Kong toys, dog beds and cozy blankets are available for your pup to enjoy throughout their stay! All toys, blankets and beds are sanitized and washed between stays. I am flexible and happy to make adjustments in my home to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home a few days a week, but will be in his office and will not be assisting with pet care though he will be available for cuddles in the evenings.

About: I am an avid dog lover and lover of all animals!! We treat our dogs like people, but more importantly they are our family. I will come to your home and watch your babies in the comfort of their own space. I work remote, so I can work from your home. I love all kinds of dogs as long as they don't bite strangers :) I take photos or videos everyday and send them to you, but sometimes I send them to your personal phone and not the app, so it affects my photo rating on here. About this sitter: I am an avid pet lover who works remotely and would love to take care of your furbaby/babies in the convenience of their own home! I can travel anywhere with enough notice. Just let me know! I am quite flexible and would enjoy giving my time and attention to your loved one! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a teenager, but really since I was born as I have always been in a house with dogs! I have been volunteering and helping out dogs for the past three decades!

About: No such thing as a dog too big! Growing up with several dogs in my family home, I truly view them as a part of our families. With a belief in positive reinforcement and redirection, your dog will have a fun, stress-free time; making our home their home for the duration of their stay. Having gone through the puppy stage several times, including within the past year, I can assure you our patience is tried and tested, and that I carry an attitude in which it is imperative to maintain respect for the individual temperament of each dog. Some breeds I have experience with include: pitbulls, labs, dobermans, cane corsos, boxers, and mastiffs. I have trained my dogs in basic obedience, all with varying degrees of energy level, stubbornness, and intelligence 🙃. While size does not matter, all dogs who enter our home must be child and dog friendly. **To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone involved, meet and greets are mandatory without exception before boarding or daycare. This can take place at a dog-friendly park, or our backyard if you would like to see our home.** *Smoke and alcohol free home *Large fenced backyard *Almost always home I am a full time stay at home mom to a 3.5 year old as well as 1 year old male (neutered) dog. We do not leave him home alone for more than three hours, so your dog would have human companionship and access to the outdoors at almost all times! Our dog is no longer using one, so we have a large crate that your dog is welcome to use if that is what they are accustomed to or have any destructive tendencies when left alone. Our dog gets lot's of love and exercise. We make sure he practices good manners with daily basic training and keep him happy with enrichment activities, walks, and plenty of scratches. We never leave him outside unattended and he is ALWAYS leashed if outside of the backyard fence. I have had three dogs as an adult, and none have ever escaped.

Madison was able to take care of my cats last minute - she was a huge help! She eased my mind while I was out of town with all the pictures and detailed updates every morning. She was very responsive as well! I came home to filled food and water bowls and a clean cat area AND happy cats!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 20. My friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies while they were out of town and provide walks, feed.

About: Since I was about 15 I've been watching, walking and caring for pets for family and friends. However I've had pets of all kinds my whole life, from dogs to geckos I'm well versed in a variety of animals pet care. I am a full time worker 6am-2:30pm every week day, and the occasional Saturday shift. I am also a college student but a majority of my classes are completed online, so it won't take up much of my availability. As long as I'm informed of any rules you have about your pets, I will follow them to a T. I will care for nothing more than your pets care and safety while you're away.

I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!

This is my second time using Maj to sit for my baby Honey. I can always count on her to send me pictures to assure me that she is ok. I recommend Maj to other people who are looking for a good sitter who takes pride in her work.

Shelbi was wonderful with my cat, and took pictures and videos of him every day to send to me while I was out of town. I had total peace of mind while away that my furbaby was taken care of and loved. Shelbi went above and beyond the expected, checking in on my cat an extra time during the day when he seemed “off” from his normal self. She also tackled his litter box, and took the trash out. I’m very grateful for her services and would hire her again in the future. I found her very trustworthy and reliable.
