“Kelly has been nothing short of great and reliable She is such a great dog sitter/walker I know my dog is so pleased everytime she comes by I regularly book kelly throughout the week and I highly recommend her!”

“Keana does a great job for our new little guy Captain and Captain is super happy to see her when she gets here. She makes sure he gets bathroom breaks, food, and water, even takes time to play with him before she puts back in his kennel with a few treats.”

“Rebecca was great we had a pre meeting where she got to meet and interact with Theo who of course loved her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Will definitely use her again!”

“We moved to the area in July and were really searching for a dog sitter. Our lives changed drastically when we moved as where before we moved someone was home every four hours with our dog Gabe. Moving to Wyandotte changed that as we both commute to work and coming home for lunch is not a possibility. Finding Erin was a God-send. For not only is she an awesome friend to Gabe but she is responsible, dependable and willing to switch her schedule to accommodate ours. That’s pretty hard to find no matter where you live. We trust Erin with the care of our Dog and this is very important for a special needs dog. I can tell you with certainty that WHEN you hire ERIN you get someone who puts your dog as #1. Erin is not only our dogs best buddy but also becoming our friend as well. Gabe’s ears raise to attention when we say “Erin is coming today.” Gabe makes happy noises when Erin comes into the house. Wait maybe God-send is an understatement. Erin has blessed our lives by being that special someone we can trust to come into our house, take our dog for a walk, spend meaningful times with him and leave the house as secure as she found it. Friends like Erin and her husband are the kind of folks you want to have more of in your lives. They are both great people and will not leave you disappointed. In fact you will rest at ease knowing that the care of your family member is in the care of Erin. Most of my reviews I joke around - but I wanted to leave a review from the pit of my heart so you know how we feel about Erin as our sitter.”


About: I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my years including fosters, seniors, puppies and newborns. I have experience administering medications and aiding in mobility for the seniors. I have a one year old german shepherd mix. I have been with and handled lots of different breeds and energy levels. Pet care is everything to me and I’m looking to open that up from just my pup. I am available most of the time except Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, outdoor and indoor beds, extra leases, lick mats, separate feeding stations, as well as a crate if needed.
“Katrina is so gentle and so kind to Shiloh, he absolutely adores her! She is always on time and is willing to work with my schedule! definitely will be booking her services again :)”

About: I currently live with 3 dogs and 2 cats with plenty of time for more. I have fostered both kittens and puppies for over 10 years. I am retired and looking for furry friends. I have plenty of time on my hands to love and care for my own pets and yours…. I am willing to come to your home or welcome your pet to mine. My pets are very friendly. I have a spare room and a basement with crates, pet gates and a fenced in backyard.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or overnight snuggles while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and passionate about creating a safe, happy experience for both pets and their humans. Let’s get your tail-wagging adventure started! I am a college student and looking to have something to do in my free time. My availability is almost completely open so hopefully this works well with your family needs! I will not be boarding any animals in my home, due to having pets of my own and want the best for both of our animals.
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
About: Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I would love to care for your dog/cat. I will always do anything possible to make them feel 100% comfortable and happy. I have 10 years experience caring for children ages 0-6 and would love to extend that care to your fur babies. When you book my services, I would love to know their favorite toy, food, treat, place to sleep, and/or if they have a favorite place to get scratches/rubs! Your pet's comfort and trust is my priority, along with your trust and respect. If there is ever any issues or questions, please don't hesitate and let me know. I'm always happy to help! I currently have a part time job working late nights, so I am available to do drop-ins or walks on most afternoons during the week. I like to make my client's furbabies feel comfortable while they are in my care. I make sure to give them all the attention they need.

About: I have lots of experience withs cats, and while i’ve never personally had a dog I have dog sat for friends and family before. I love hanging out and playing with animals and I can walk or pet sit! I’m currently working so i’m looking to pet sit/walk and my days off! Message me and I can let you know my schedule! I will always check in with you to make sure i’m abiding by your pet rules! I’ll make sure i’m following your usual routine!
“Kathy was fabulous. This was my first time using rover and I was definitely nervous about it, but Kathy was really good with the dogs during the first meeting and she sent me pictures twice a day plus the map of the walk each day. I felt like the dogs were in good hands! Will use the service again and hopefully Kathy will be available!”
About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.
About: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up. Anything from fish and turtles, hamsters, and many cats and dogs! I will never live in a home without an animal. I’m available most days of the week to walk, groom, or even board them overnight. I will just need a day ahead to note it. My yard is un-fenced, but I live in a small neighbor hood that is not busy. I also go outside with my dog to go potty and play.
About: From the time I was a young I have loved animals, small to large. I have had experience with caring for Guinea pigs while I was young and my journey with dogs began then as well. I have cared for many of my own dogs from dachshunds to German Shepherds Dogs all my life. I have bred and shown dachshunds and have enjoyed having dogs all my types in my life. In addition I have had a couple of Angora Rabbits, gerbils, several chinchillas and birds. Right now I have two dogs that fill my life with happiness. I have dog sat for several of my friends dogs while they were away for as long as four months. In addition to dogs I have cared for my grandcats when my son has gone on vacation and lived with another grandcat for a while. I have a lot of experience giving medications, even shots, to my pets and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs. My years of experience will allow me to give your pet the care they need and deserve. I am retired and have extra time for morning to afternoon to evening visits. I will work with the time schedule your pets need to be comfortable while you are gone. Your pets comfort is my main goal. Visits with walks, feeding, treats, play and poo disposal to keep your pet comfortable and engaged while you are away. Visits for your cats on a schedule you prefer with play, feeding and cat box cleaning. Small animals and birds will also be cared for as well as you require.

I currently have a 5 year old Goldendoodle that loves having playtime with other pups! Anytime your pup needs a little break, I'm only a message away! Please message me ASAP because spots are filling up fast! I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I also have a little puppy pool and doggy sprinklers for any dogs that want to cool off from the heat!
