“Salina is great! She watched our house and dogs for us, and even put up with our difficult old man dog! She had great communication the whole time we were gone and sent us pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Gabbie was a great dog and house sitter! We were out of the country for ten days and I felt fully comfortable having her stay in our home and watch our dog. We came home to an immaculate house and happy pup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area.”


“Darriell went above and beyond when watching our dog and cat. The dog got skittish about walking while we were on vacation and Darriell was patient, communicative, and compassionate. She sent lots of pictures and I felt confident our animals were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”


“Nichole watched our 2 dogs & 2 cats for a week over the holidays & did a great job! Our pets are high maintenance; multiple types of food, supplements & medicines and she did a great job handling all of our requirements. Would definitely use her again.”


“Callie is extremely attentive and detail oriented. Consistent updates, followed all our instructions perfectly, and made our out of the country vacation stress free.”


“Chelsea was great! She kept us informed and sent us pictures during her stay. Even cleaned up after our stray kitty we feed. The house was in order when we got back as well. We will definitely have her back again!”


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.

“Cheyenne was awesome! She was prompt on short notice and seemed to know her stuff. We felt very comfortable leaving Bella and our home with her. She sent updates and plenty of pics (which I really appreciate). Bella got meals on time and walks and cuddles. I will be using Cheyenne in the future, no question.”


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.

“Lissa was great and it seemed Myrtle had a wonderful time. Lissa left the house cleaner than it was before and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. She is very independent and didn't need a lot of instruction or monitoring. She is clearly a pro! We will definitely use her again. ”


“We were so impressed with Kelly and her amazing care for our three energetic dogs while we were in Mexico. They can be a handful with their high energy, but she handled them wonderfully! It was such a relief to know they were in great hands, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We returned to happy, well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!"”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Crystal. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter since before COVID and since he has been going through chemotherapy, so needless to say we were feeling very anxious about it. From the moment we first spoke, Crystal put all of our worries at ease. She was extremely responsive and communicative from even before our meet and greet, and we could immediately see that our dog would be exceptionally well taken care of. While we were away, Crystal provided frequent updates and pictures. Our dog can be a big handful (super dog reactive; complicated medication regime etc.), but Crystal made us feel SO comfortable and we were extremely confident that our pup was in great hands. She left our house cleaner than when we even left, and our dog clearly loved his time with her. We are so grateful for Crystal and will definitely be seeking out her help again!!!”

Kate H.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Amazing Experience with Kate! I cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, I knew my dog Reggie was in great hands. She went above and beyond both as a dog walker and house sitter. Reggie loved her time with Kate — every time she came by, her tail wouldn't stop wagging! It was clear she truly connected with her and treated her like her own. Not only was Kate incredibly professional and attentive, but her prices were also unbelievably reasonable for the quality of care she provides. She sent regular updates, photos, and made sure our home was well taken care of while we were away. Coming back to a happy pup and a spotless house was such a relief! Kate is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals. If you're looking for someone reliable who will treat your fur baby like family, Kate is the one. Reggie and I are so lucky to have found her — she’s our go-to from now on!”

She's wonderful. Wendy W.”

“My wife and I have used Chase multiple times in the past couple years. We have 2 huskies and one has allergies and Chase takes care of all his needs while we are gone. Chase is very responsible and mature but most of all she loves animals. The best thing about Chase is that she will stay overnight to watch the pets which is a huge plus for us. You can't go wrong with hiring Chase to watch your pets, we give her a A+ rating.”
