“My dog, Ranger, adores Erica and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s reliable, wonderful with animals, and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend booking with Erica! 💗”
“Jamie was exceptional! She was very prompt, informative and overall a great person. She did very well with Halo, using the same commands and letting her sniff all her normal spots on walks. Jamie was also great with Halo around other dogs and people as Halo can sometimes not mind others. Thank you again Jamie, you'll be my first call next time I need some help!”
“Thank you Jack for your help and great care of our two pup! So happy we found you.”
“10/10 stars, would recommend”
About: My name is Kate and my love for animals is what prompted me to enter the world of pet care. I grew up in a home with dogs and guniea pigs and learned early on how to be responsible in caring for a pet. The Humane Society was close to my childhood home, I would walk there weekly to go in and visit all the different animals and dreamed of owning a bunch one day myself. Later on in my twenties I learned what it was like to have a cat and now am a self proclaimed, obsessed with all the things cat. Currently I have two cats, a spunky Bengal named Benny and a sophisticated tuxedo baby named Olive. My hobbies include weightlifting, walking, yoga, ceramics, listening to podcasts, reading, baking and traveling. I currently work full time Mon-Thurs, 4 days a week which allows me to have, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning or afternoons available for drop-in visits or walking your pet. I currently am not able to board any other animals in my home as I have two cats that prefer to be the only pets.
About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.
“Raeshawn is amazing with my dog!”
“Ashley was such a great sitter & walker for goose! Great at communicating and took time to come over and meet him prior to his visit. We definitely plan on using her again!”
About: From a young age I have had a love for animals from rescuing/raising strays to finally working as an assistant in the vet field. I currently have cats of my own and Through this time I have learned animal characteristics and how to bond with them all while tending to their health. With medical skills such as administrating medications and a pure love for animals you can rest assured I will treat your fur baby as my own! I am currently a mom of two youngsters and in school so I am intrested in part time work that gives me more time to make memories with my babies. Although I am unable to care for your pets in my own home, I am more than able and willing to travel to your pets comfort place and utilize any and all tools available to care for your pet the best way possible!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough for my parents and neighbors to trust me! Grew up with multiple of my both in the house and naturally my first job was dog walking and house sitting around the neighborhood. Have experience working with older pets, puppies / kittens, and large breeds. Currently, live in the Corktown neighborhood with my Australian Shepherd Mel. If you see us out on a walk, say hello! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your ideal walking and / or care schedule. My Australian Shepard Mel and I walk around Corktown daily and am always up for spending more time outside! For Dog Walking: I follow your lead on your dog's tendencies / preferences. I adhere to your preferred routes and instructions regarding leash etiquette, avoiding off-leash situations unless explicitly discussed and approved. If your dog enjoys canine company, I'm happy to bring my Aussie Mel along, who loves walking with friends! If your dog likes playing ball / frisbee, happy to discuss how we can accommodate that as well. For In-Home Pet Check-ins: I pay close attention to your pet's behavior and appetite, reporting any concerns to you immediately. I ensure fresh water is always available and clean up any messes promptly. I prioritize respecting your space, leaving it just as I found it.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adjust care to their unique needs. I have experience with puppies (potty training, high energy) and senior pets (gentle handling, meds, slow walks). Whether your pet is shy, quirky, or full of zoomies, I meet them where they’re at—tail wags guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love being active and spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks fit right in. I structure my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I’m flexible and committed to keeping their routine consistent and stress-free In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and any meds—so they feel safe and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets get a cozy, calm environment with plenty of attention, belly rubs, and play. I make sure they have a comfy place to rest, stay on their usual schedule, and get tons of love.
“tara is excellent - timely, reliable, and communicative. I had no worries leaving my dog with her for walks, and she's absolutely someone I would rely upon in the future. highly recommend!”
About: 🇺🇲 Detroit I have been raising a dog for quite a long time and recently adopted a cat. My friends call me the "animal whisperer" because I always seem to be rescuing and finding homes for strays. I love animals so much and would treat your pet with the same love and care that I show my own. I am a homebody. If I don't have to be somewhere you can find me at home with the pets. Home is where the dog is. I care for pets like they are part of the family. I live in a great neighborhood for walking with two fantastic parks nearby. My senior dog and 3 year old cat are very friendly and respect the space of other animals. Your pet will get lots of trips outside and all the chin scratches they want.
“Jordan was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy! He responded within minutes, was very professional and came to meet our pup the day after we contacted him. Our pup took to him immediately, and Jordan came and walked him several days a week for three weeks. Each time, he was prompt, sent us pictures and a run down of how each walk went. Jordan was also very flexible with a few of our unexpected schedule changes. He is truly an ideal person to trust in caring for your dog, and we will absolutely be requesting his services again!”
About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.

About: I think life is so much better with a dog. Without my own dog, I'm interested in helping you out with yours! I'm reliable and active. Ready to take care of your pup and have some fun I am a teacher and work full time. I am usually kind of a home body though, so outside of work I would be available to hang with your dog! Looking to help dog sitting or walking from your own home which will help your dog feel more at ease while you're away. I am able to board as well.
About: In my family we breed French bullies. I’ve gotten the opportunity to care for the pups and young bulls for the past 7 years. Giving them baths, feeding them, and of course play time. I’m currently working a full time job that requires early shift. During the afternoon to evening, I usually take my free time to cherish a moment with puppy or dog any chance I get. I do daily check in at my grandma’s place. Our Chanel (golden retriever) take out of her cage every evening and go on walks. After, i usually bathe her, make sure she’s well fed, and place her back in her bed.

“Kate is a kind, responsible, trustworthy and loving person who my cats absolutely adore. My girls can be a bit shy, but they love when Kate visits. They will lay in her lap for hours. She takes the time with them so that they are comfortable. The last time she stayed with them they were well fed, she had changed out the litter box and they were happy.”
Avery H.Star Sitter
“Avery has been an incredible pet owner and caretaker since we met in 6th grade. Her dedication and love for animals are unparalleled, making her the perfect person to entrust with your fur babies. Personal experiences have proven her reliability and responsibility. Avery graciously stayed at my house to watch my two cats for over 2 weeks while I was out of the country. She treated them with the same love and care as I do, ensuring they felt comfortable and secure. I knew she had all situations under control which was comforting with me being so far away. Now having her own dog, she loves taking her high energy companion on long walks, visits parks, farmers markets, and arranges puppy playdates, all to enrich Goose's life with joy and social interactions. Avery's hardworking nature and unwavering trustworthiness make her an ideal pet owner. She wholeheartedly cares for animals, and her dedication ensures that your beloved pets will receive the utmost attention, love, and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be in excellent hands with Avery, and she will flawlessly fulfill their every need.”
