“Miguel was fantastic with our two dogs! He did an excellent job and kept us updated with photos etc and was also prepared to meet them a couple of times before watching them for the weekend. He was punctual and very polite with great communication. Will definitely be booking him again when we need a dog sitter!”


“Mariah was fantastic! Our nervous dog has a hard time when we leave and Mariah was so great with him! He was nervous at first but warmed up quickly and was happy to follow her everywhere. She sent regular updates, left the house in perfect condition, and even left a little “doggy report card” which was so nice to come home to. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Olivia was amazing! She gave us so many picture updates and we can tell our dog had a great weekend with her. She kept the house super tidy and did additional cleaning and laundry! Thank you!”

“I have used Genie’s services to watch my 3 fur babies and she does an amazing job everytime. My animals feel comfortable with her and she is comfortable with them which is a win win for me. I even think my cat likes her more than us. Lol! I would definitely recommend her to anyone 10/10!”


“We had such a great experience with Deena! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly loves animals. She was happy to meet our dogs beforehand, which really put our minds at ease. Everything went smoothly while we were away, and we came home to happy pups. Would absolutely book her again without hesitation!”


“Zoe sent updates and pictures continuously and played and walked Jack everyday and snuggled with him. He was happy and healthy upon my return. She was very flexible with changing expectations of travel plans and early return. Jack will be happy to be seeing her more often for all my trips.”


About: Hi! My name is Callahan. I’m a recent graduate from Eastern Michigan University. I come from a family of animal lovers with cats, a dog, and even bunnies. I have my own cat baby who has feline asthma and other medical conditions. I am very comfortable caring for cats with medical conditions and administering pills. I also love dogs and am comfortable taking care of them. I am looking for full time employment with my public health degree right now so I am available to watch your pets anytime other than a few select dates. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I have a small apartment so I will not be able to care for pets in my home but would love to drop in or stay for services at others

“Lily was amazing! She sent messages and photos throughout the day letting me know how Noah was doing. I did not worry at all while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone that is need of a great dog sitter. I will be using her again in the future.”


About: Ever since I was a teenager, family, friends, and neighbors have relied on my to pet-sit and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. Similar to my approach with cats, I introduce myself with confidence, caution, and respect while paying attention to the dog's body language. I've had the pleasure of meeting many dogs ranging from energetic ones that pull hard when walking, to low-energy dogs that either want light play or may have chronic pain. Whatever the case is, I'm quick to learn how to befriend them! I'm a recent graduate with a Computer Science degree, looking for full-time software work. The job search has been very slow to yield results, so I have very open availability while I search. As long as I'm not already booked on a given day, I'm open on any day of the week and at any time (including evenings). Unfortunately due to the pickiness of my two cats, Charlie and Pim, I'm unable to have any pets brought to my home. Regarding caring for pets at a client's home, I'm open to visits lasting many hours, or making multiple visits in a day. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs, and can care for other mammals (I have minimal experience with reptiles and birds). As long as I have detailed notes on your pet's routine and special care instructions, I'll work diligently to ensure their daily routine sees minimal disruption while you're gone!

“Christine has now watched our pups twice and we definitely trust her with our girls! She is great with them and knows exactly how to give them love and care when we have to go away!”


“Natalie was so wonderful with our dog, Wrinkles! She was so communicative from start to finish and sent updates and pictures. She is someone that I trust with my home and my dog! Thank you, Natalie- we will definitely call you up for our next trip!”

“Nikolas did a great job with Cozmo. Cozmo can be an intimidating dog at 100lbs and a lot of energy. Received plenty of updates and pics. I will definitely reach out the next time I need help with Cozmo.”


About: I truly care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a little extra TLC, including administering oral medications and helping with mobility. I’m also great at reading body language and making even shy or anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just sticking to their routine, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved while you’re away. I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. Pet care naturally fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. At home, I care for my own dog and cat with lots of love, attention, and a consistent routine. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and comfortable throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always stick closely to their routine to help the pet feel safe and relaxed. I pay attention to details like feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and focus on keeping them happy, healthy, and stress-free.

“Adam was fantastic! He lavished our dogs with attention and lovin's just as we hoped he would. They quickly took to him and were comfortable enough to nap on him. The house was just as clean as we left it so that was nice to come home to. Would recommend to anyone ?”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets for over 4 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I started dog sitting in my spare time for family and friends, and they’ve always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra love. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a walk, or a cozy overnight stay, I’m here to provide reliable care filled with love and attention. I currently work full-time as a supervisor and have Thursdays and Fridays off. On the days I work, I’m typically scheduled for 8-hour shifts, so I can still accommodate pet care depending on how long the dog is comfortable being home alone. I’m available for daily walks—especially in the evenings—and I’m happy to adjust my schedule when possible to meet each pet’s needs. My days off give me even more flexibility for daytime care, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Each dog sitting experience has been unique, as I always tailor the care to the pet’s needs and the family’s preferences. While I haven’t hosted dogs in my own home yet, I’ve cared for pets in their homes where they feel most comfortable. I make sure to follow the routine each family sets—whether that’s feeding, walks, cuddle time, or outdoor play. I do my best to keep pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

“Mason is fantastic. Open with all communication and willing to make plans together as a team for the best outcomes for your pet. We have already booked Mason for a future stay and are delighted to have someone we trust and like to take care of our pets.”


About: Hello! My name is Becca, and I am an avid animal lover. I've grown up with dogs and cats, and recently spent a lot of time learning training with a local dog trainer. I currently have two dogs - an American pit bull and a Rottweiler Mix. They are both fully trained by Happy Tails training in Shelby. I hope my experience working with dogs shows you I am more than capable of making sure your best friend receives the best care while you are away. My dogs will love to play with your dog and make sure they have fun while staying with us. Additionally, I am a teacher who works with kids all day, so I really understand the important of positive reinforcement and patience. I am looking forward to meeting your dogs! I am a high school teacher, so my work day ends at about 2:30pm every day. I am available evenings and weekends for walking and boarding. I am very routine with the dog's care throughout the day. Every morning, we start with time in the yard before breakfast. Then, evenings will consist of yard time, indoor play time, and walks.
