“We are from Ohio, and recently had Lizbeth watch our dog, Oreo, for about 4 hours. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Oreo had such a great time—not only was he well cared for, but he also got to play with another dog. One great thing about Lizabeth is that she knows how to make dog feel comfortable. We highly recommend her and will book again if we are in that area.”


“Lasya and her family were awesome to work with. We had great communication, she sent photos and texted throughout the day. Our dog, Kuma seemed to have had tons of fun with their dog Simba. Lasya was very kind and patient. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”


About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and passion for pet care comes from learning pet care from my dad who is police dog trainer. I currently work from home it's a flexible job so l would have plenty time for the pet. Also I would love to go out on walks. I have fenced yard where we can go out play, I have play toys, yummy treats for the fur babies. Also would love to go on walks. I do not take many pets in one service so I can provide more personalized services.

About: I've owned dogs for the past 20 years, first an Australian Shephard, then a yellow Lab. I've also cared for the dogs of friends and family. After the death of my most recent guy, Petey, I decided that I want the companionship of dogs without the vet bills$ I'm now retired from teaching and have all the time in the world to sit, walk, transport and care for dogs. I can accept dogs during the day or night, 7 days a week. Your dogs will be in an open setting in my home. I have a fenced yard so they can play. I live near a park and a riverfront, so long walks can be taken through natural settings. I accept only one or two dogs at a time, depending on the personality and behaviour of the dogs. I have a van that can transport dog to wherever they need to go.

“Asheley did a fantastic job looking after our Jack Russell terrier Stella. It has been a long time since Stella had been with a dog sitter, but she felt really comfortable with Asheley, and already on the second day was looking forward to going back. Drop off and pickup were super easy, and Stella got plenthy of exercise and stimulation during the day, so she was easy to deal with after a long day at work.”


“I cannot thank Tammy enough for the amazing care she gave our baby! I was extremely anxious about leaving him at a new home, but she immediately calmed my worries with her kindness and reassurance. She went above and beyond to make him feel at home — even feeding him from the table when he was being picky, letting him snuggle and sleep in her bed, and making sure he had plenty of playtime with her sweet fur babies. I could tell he felt completely safe and loved, and I’m sure he had the best day full of play, cuddles, and comfort. Knowing he was in such loving hands gave me such peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will truly treat your fur baby like their own!”


“Jessica was amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”


About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.

About: I’m currently a student and working from from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog and nature so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I’m available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.

About: I’ve been a groomers assistant and bather at a grooming shop and doggie daycare for a few years in past and I have access to a dog bathing suite for $15 for the use and $25 per dog. Blow drying those furry friends coats out! :) I’ve been dog and house sitting for years and I have had a few dogs of my own. I get excited to see every dog and cat I meet, they really make my day. If you’re out of my walking radius and still would like me to care for your pets you can provide transportation fees then I’d be happy to accept the jobs if I’m available that are last minute when you can’t find someone else. This is my only job, caring for pets now. I have worked for over 30 years and I have found pet sitting to be the best retirement gig for my wellbeing. So I’m available quite a bit. I can walk dogs or do house visits for either cats or dogs. I can help with training if you have rules or something you’d like me to help with for your pets. I can also pick up an item you may need from premier pet shop.

“Deepika is really nice, friendly and very knowledgeable. She is very prompt in responding. Our dog went for day care with her dog and got along really well. I will definitely user her services again.”


About: Need a house sitter, plant sitter, or pet sitter you can count on? Hi, I’m Madrona — a remote marketing professional with a flexible schedule, years of experience, and a serious soft spot for furry companions. Since my family (and their pets) no longer live nearby, I’m looking to spend more quality time with animals — whether that’s a quick walk, a drop-by visit, or a longer stay in your home while you’re away. I’m available for: • Overnight house and pet sitting (I’ll stay in your home and care for pets + plants) • Drop-ins and walks • Short-term or occasional care I’ve worked with pets who are reactive, anxious, on meds, or just need a little extra patience. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for everything from cats with attitude to senior dogs with complex routines. I treat every home and animal like my own — with care, consistency, and respect. Tabor, my sweet family dog, won’t be tagging along unless invited, but he’s why I do this. He taught me how much love and attention animals really need — and deserve. Let’s chat if you’re looking for someone kind, experienced, and reliable. Because I work remotely and make my own schedule, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day visits, or overnight stays, I can be fully present and consistent — no rushing between commitments or leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship animals bring, so spending time with them is never a chore — it’s something I look forward to. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for the entire time you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping things as close to their usual routine as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific instructions you provide — all while giving them plenty of love, attention, and calm energy. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and communicative, so you’ll always know how things are going while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure each visit is intentional — not rushed. I give pets time to settle, play, get their energy out (or just relax), and always check on their water, food, and general well-being. If I’m doing overnight care, I work remotely from your home, so your pets get lots of company and consistency throughout the day — not just in the mornings and evenings. No matter the service, your pet’s comfort and safety come first.

About: Hii!! I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved furry friends. I had dogs since my childhood, my father is police dog trainer, that’s where the passion comes from in me. With a reputation for reliability and a deep sense of responsibility, I'm here to ensure that your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies, have fenced yard, toys and their favourite treats and lots of passion so do not hesitate to give me chance to take care of your babies!! I have fenced yard, pet toys and treats, I can go out for walks, potty breaks, sniff strolls for mental stimulation and play lots and lots of games.

“Jordan was an excellent companion to my puppy, Honey Bear. When we first met, he made sure to ask all the right questions so he was clear on her unique needs and preferences as far as feeding, treats, walks and playtime. This made me feel comfortable that I was leaving her in good hands. Then he sent photos during the day where I could see Honey Bear having a great time playing with her favorite toys and getting some nice snuggles. When Jordan came to pick up Honey the second morning she was so excited to see him again, which was really cute and reassuring. You can tell that he is a real dog lover and a genuinely kind person who enjoys caring for pups. On top of that Jordan was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule with pickups and drop offs. His willingness to be flexible with timing really helped alleviate what could have been added stress during a few hectic work days for me. Overall Jordan is a wonderful choice and I highly recommend him as a dog sitter. If I ever return to work for Detroit I will call him again!”


“Karley was wonderful with my puppy Oliver. We had just adopted him a week before and needed someone to watch him for a day. I was really nervous about it because he’s still a puppy and we’ve never had to leave a puppy with someone else before. But Karley was so kind and kept me posted the whole time. When we came to pick Ollie up, he seemed to have had a very comfortable stay and felt safe with her. I 100% recommend reaching out to Karley if you’re in the Detroit area and need someone to watch your furbaby for you.”

Madrona P.
“Madrona was amazing. From the moment she came by to meet Benny and Miso, we knew they’d be in good hands. Benny can be a lot. He’s high energy and a little anxious when we’re gone, but he clearly felt comfortable with her right away. Miso is usually so standoffish with new people, but by day two she was curled up next to Madrona like they’d been best friends for years. She kept us in the loop with sweet little updates and photos that made it so much easier to enjoy our time away without worrying. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog, and a very content cat. It’s obvious how much she cares, and it genuinely felt like she treated our pets like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


Preeti P.
“I can't say enough great things about Preeti and the care she provides for my two dogs. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. She cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling system is very easy to use and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates. I highly recommend Preeti to anyone looking for a dog care service.”
