1. Tyler H.
“I can’t say enough about Tyler’s level of commitment and compassion for dogs. She’s always had a dog and over the years accepted varying and increasing levels of responsibility. I was traveling a great deal for business and was anxious about being away from our dog so frequently. Tyler quickly alleviated my fears by taking care of our dog in the most thoughtful and compassionate way possible. As he grew older, he needed extra attention and assistance. Tyler loved him unconditionally and made sure he was comfortable and happy even when it wasn’t easy. She can truly be trusted to care for and protect your dog as you would.”

“From the first minute I spoke to Zoe, I knew that I had hired a great person to watch Flex and take him for a walk. She came over the night before and did a meet-and-greet. Flex had other ideas, but she communicated with me, which put me at ease. I highly recommend Zoe.”

“Abby did great with Bailey. She was on time. Friendly, brought her own leash and supplies. Bailey had a solid 30 min walk. No issues. Thanks Abby!”
4. Anya K.
“I’ve seen firsthand how my friend takes care of her pets and her sister’s dog! She’s a very dedicated person and constantly makes sure that the pets in her care are well fed, groomed, and exercised, while showering them with constant love and affection. She’s great at keeping track of everything and always makes sure each pet is cared for. Being her friend, I can see her genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I truly believe that she is the best person. She’s reliable, loving, and amazing with animals, and your pets will be in the best hands with her!”
5. John K.
“John K is the ULTIMATE dog lover! We have known John for over 35 years and he has always owned a dog....sometimes 2! He has always put his dogs first regarding daily walks, keeping them groomed and comfortable...even providing top notch medical and dental care. Normally, their dog travelled with them...complete with stroller, cage, etc. However, on the rare occasions when it was not feasible, John made arrangements with the dog's original breeder at her home.....No kennels for John's companions! John recently lost his beloved "Spencer." The last few years, Spencer had developed tumors, loss of hearing, sight, and diabetes. Yet John tended to him as a Dr. would tend to his patient. His daily schedule revolved around Spencer's needs.....daily exercise, diet and insulin shots. I would, without reservation, trust John K to care for my dog. He'll love and attend to your "family member" just as you would....(although your dog might be a little spoiled when you return).”

About: We love dogs and promise to take care of yours as if he or she was part of our family. We are happy to follow any specific instructions you may have and will do our best to provide a happy, healthy environment for your furry family member while you’re away. We are both recently retired and don’t currently have any pets so we can give yours all the attention he or she needs. We are happy to send photos and/or videos while you’re away if you like! We will make sure your dog(s) get lots of exercise, love and attention! We are retired and are available everyday - weekdays, weekends, holidays - you name it! We are completely flexible and able to work with your schedule. We can even pick up and/or drop off your fur baby if it’s more convenient for you. Just ask us - we are more than happy to help! And while our profile says that we only take ONE dog at a time, we are happy to take two or three AS LONG AS THEY ARE FROM THE SAME FAMILY. We strongly believe in making your dog’s (or dogs’) experience as close to what you provide at home. That’s why we don’t have any other animals of our own and we won’t care for multiple dogs from outside your own family. It’s safer for your dog(s) and there is much less anxiety for them when they aren’t faced with unknown dogs. We endeavor to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable and calm as possible during their stay with us. Safety first! Our entire home has been recently remodeled and is very dog friendly. We keep chemicals out of sight and behind closed doors. Our yard is fenced in and there is a lot of space to run and play. Joe is “dog-walker extraordinaire” and loves to take long or short walks any time of day.
8. Miguel T.
“We started using Miguel for occasional walks for our two dogs recently and it has been great! He shows up as scheduled and it’s nice knowing our dogs get some extra exercise during the day with someone who enjoys walking dogs.”
9. Hailey M.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a child and now as an adult I have my own fur baby! Her name is Marley and she’s just about 4 months! I work part time so I have a flexible schedule to help you and your fur babies out during the week and even more time on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard and a big front yard as well. A large neighbor for walking as well. My own puppy loves it
10. Terry Y.
“I met Terry Yung about 4 years ago and every day since then has been her proving how gentle loving and caring she is. From the day we met she showed a passion towards taking care of and loving animals. Her attitude towards the critters and creatures of our world prove without a shadow of a doubt that she is the single best choice for to be around dogs. On top of all of this, she has shown such extensive knowledge and willingness to learn that makes her a unique candidate that cannot be missed. Choosing her means choosing a responsible amazing person to take on this task and there is no better person for the job. She is the definition of one of a kind and the only concern youd need to having the dog falling for her and never leaving.”
11. Brianna L.
“We have hired Brianna a few times to watch our 2 cats for a period of a day and our longest time away of a month. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were fed on time and engaged while we were gone. We always took comfort in that they were being taken care of by someone we trust fully to meet their needs and enhance their days while we were away.”

Katherine is very detailed and takes her responsibilities on fully to ensure that the animals in her care are receiving the best care she provides.

“Without a doubt Mary is the best dog sitter in Michigan! Mary is compassionate, knowledgeable, and has this amazing bond with every dog she comes into contact with. I was so pleased by the care that Mary provided to my two golden retrievers while I was away. Mary clearly loves animals in her care and is very down to earth. My dogs love spending time with Mary more than they do with me! I will never call another pet sitter ever again because Mary is the best around!”

“Lindsay is an outstanding pet caregiver! She looked after my Golden Retriever with such genuine affection and care. From daily walks to playtime, she went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt loved and comfortable. She sent great pictures of my dog enjoying his stay with her, from walks to even sleeping in her bed! Lindsay’s attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire experience stress-free for both me and my pet. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
