About: I’ve been able to love and care many different dogs to newborn to senior dogs, I’ve been able to experience walking dogs who are sometimes stubborn and those who are excited to walk. I’ve taught puppies potty training and have check in on dogs whose parents have been out on vacations many times in my neighborhood and family, being able to be surrounded by dogs of all sizes and ages have taught me special skills and have deepened my love for them. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible, I also go part time to college. I do care for other dogs for friends, family or neighbors when they need me so daily routine is flexible. I have a fenced home, clean environment at home, pee pads available and changed often, crates and dog purses so can be carried, plenty of room to roam and of course leashes and collars. I will care for your pets follow instructions and make sure their safety is my priority and your trust .


6. Jordan S.

“Jordan was very flexible and accommodating of my schedule while I was in town for work. My dog can be a handful at times, but Jordan seemed to get the best out of him. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Jordan's services again and recommend that you do the same.”


7. Caitie C.

“Caitie was excellent. She provided me with excellent updates with a photo on how my little poodle was doing as she completed her visits. She was very thoughtful with getting to know my little dog, who is cautious around new people. I will be having Caitie back next month!”


8. Ashton B.

“Ashton was amazing with my cat! I was a little nervous leaving, but she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and well cared for. My cat is usually scared and shy with strangers but with Ashton, he was playful and looked very comfortable. It’s obvious Ashton genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ashton again next time I need a sitter”

“Our second time booking Jeannette! We’re so happy to have someone as reliable and caring as her to look after our boys. It puts our mind at ease knowing she was able to administer their medication and give them a lot of love on the days we were away. Her flexibility with accommodating us so last minute means a lot. We won’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

14. Alex D.
About: Have been petsitting dogs/cats & babysitting children for friends and family for 10+ years. I have my own car, so travel up to 30 minutes outside of Detroit is fine for me. I can’t wait to meet your cute pets! :) Looking for part-time, weekly and occasional routines and/or one time sitting - I work 9am-4pm but always have energy after work! Also willing to work with schedules, I am flexible. Quiet apartment to myself in southwest with no children in building, cozy enclosed backyard for potty breaks and very clean, animal friendly space for pets to feel safe.

17. Ariel C.

“Ariel was great with our cats! We loved the pictures and we could tell our cats felt comfortable with her. We’ll definitely reach out to have her cat sit again.”

20. Cierra B.
“My Charcoal Frenchie, Lil Bit, loved Cierra. Before his passing, he would wait excitedly for Cierra to come. It was if he knew when she was coming!! She was loving and caring with Lil Bit as if he was her own. Unfortunately, Lil Bit passed last year due to health complications but it did not stop Cierra from paying her respects. Cierra is a great asset! She's compassionate and empathetic...goes beyond her duties! Choosing Cierra will bring a great impact to your company!”
