House Sitting in Sterling Heights

“Bonnie is the best! It’s obvious how much she cares about animals and is so professional. She has such a kind heart. She was very prompt, kept us updated on how Marley was doing throughout the day, and sent adorable pictures. She even brought a special treat and a little fall bandanna for her on the last day. I have full trust in Bonnie, and would not hesitate to have her care for Marley, or my dog Tucker . Thank you for everything Bonnie. You’ll be seeing Miss Marley again.🩷”

“Melissa was great Coco and Lily loved her right away! She kept me super well informed and sent pictures.....everyone looked happy! She let me know when she was leaving and left the house spotless....emptied the cat box and picked up the dog waste in the backyard. It's nice to go away and not have to worry 😄”

“Zoe stayed with my Dachshund for two days while I was on a work trip. She was excellent with Samson and completely attentive to our needs. She sent pictures and practiced excellent communication. It was truly a piece of mind to have her help. Her and samson became great friends and we look forward to using her services again:) Thanks Again, Zoe!”

“Christine is so good with our dogs. They both have anxiety with storms and fireworks and she makes sure she gives them extra attention and meds if needed. They just love her!”

“Miguel did a awesome job with Benji. This was our second booking with him and he did a great job! He kept us updated with multiple updates throughout our time away”

“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences with sitters from Rover in the past, so I was definitely nervous leaving my dog again. Olivia completely exceeded my expectations. She was very calm, patient, and immediately made my dog feel comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all of the directions I left, kept great communication, sent lots of pictures and my house was exactly the way I left it when I got home. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals. Friends and family often ask me to pet sit because their pets are comfortable with me — especially dogs who are shy, nervous, skittish, or slow to warm up. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and sizes, from calm cats to high-energy dogs, large breeds like St. Bernards, strong breeds like pit bulls, and small dogs like cheweenies. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and body language. Cats are a specialty of mine since I’ve had them most of my life. I understand how important it is to respect their space, routines, litter habits, feeding preferences, and need for trust on their own timeline. I’m structured, reliable, and very respectful of owner instructions. If you give me a routine, I will follow it. I also like sending updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and belongings. I clean up after myself, keep pet areas tidy, and treat every home with the same care I would want someone to show mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around making sure animals have what they need. In the morning, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get outside or have their litter area checked, and receive attention based on their comfort level. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Some pets want immediate attention, while others need space first, so I let them come to me and adjust to their vibe. Throughout the day, I stay aware of whether they need to go out, eat, rest, play, or just have calm companionship. If your pet has medication, dietary restrictions, feeding instructions, or a specific routine, I use notes and reminders so nothing gets missed. I like structure and planning ahead, so I’m very careful about following owner instructions and keeping pets on the schedule they are used to. I care for pets with a calm, structured, and attentive approach. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I follow instructions closely, keep food and water areas clean, clean up after pets, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, litter boxes, and supplies are handled carefully. I’m very observant of animal behavior and body language, especially with pets who are shy, anxious, energetic, or unsure around new people. I do not force interaction. I give pets space, let them warm up at their own pace, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and for you to feel confident that your home and animal are being treated with respect.

“Caitlin was awesome! We really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent while she watched our pups. The dogs looked happy and we are looking forward to having her watch them again.”

“Venus took great care and was attentive to my doggies. She walked them, took the garbage out and cleaned before I came home. I highly recommend Venus!!! I will contact her again to stay with 2 fellas.”

“Genie did a great job watching my boxer Remi. I was sent status reports for every visit and was provided lots of pictures of Remis' activities. Genie stayed at my place with Remi and left it clean and organized when leaving.”

“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 bring a lot of energy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Even though I don’t have a pet of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through friends and family and have lots of experience with walks and playtime. I’m a very active individual and is extremely diligent/consistent, so I’m especially great for dogs who need regular exercise, structure, and engagement. I typically go on 4 mile walks everyday and would love to have your pet join me. I just finished medical school and am in my in-between phase before residency, so I have a lot of free time and love using it to stay active. I already go on 2–3 walks a day (even in the cold Michigan weather!), so having a dog join me would be a perfect addition to my routine I truly believe dogs are like little kids they need attention, patience, and a safe environment. I’ve worked in childcare before, which helped me become very attentive and adaptable, even when pets can’t directly communicate what they need. I’m also very clean and respectful. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space as if it were my own and make sure everything is left just as you found it. I recently completed medical school, so being responsible, trustworthy, and detail-oriented is very important to me.

“Super good communication, lots of kitty pictures every day and she was a great house-sitter. We would absolutely have her take care of our critters again.”

“Rob stayed at our home overnight to care for our two dogs. He also did a bunch of drop ins. Both Rob and Heather are great. Hire them. You will be glad that you did, and more importantly, your furry family members will be happy and benefit greatly from their loving kindness, acts of friendship and service.”

Heather T.

“We wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas for dog sitting! He took exceptional care of our dog during the week we were away. We were so impressed with his dedication to ensuring all of her needs were met. He diligently walked her for a full hour each day, made sure she had plenty of food and water, and was consistent with her potty breaks. What we appreciated most was the time Nicholas spent at our house, providing our dog with the companionship she needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she wasn't just being cared for, but also had someone there with her. We will absolutely be hiring Nicholas again in the future!”

“Carly really helped us out with a last minute, week long stay at our house to watch our dog. She was professional and very good at communicating! We loved getting photos and updates from her to reassure us that Kona was doing well. Carly is wonderful and we will be using her in the future!”

“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow your instructions closely so your dog’s schedule stays consistent. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, relaxed, and at ease—even when you’re not home. While I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve spent many years caring for family dogs and dog-sitting regularly. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly with new dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from pit bull mixes to mid-sized doodles to small Maltese. I’m confident working with a variety of breeds, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your dog’s home. I also provide regular updates with plenty of photos of your pup, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I have a lot of availability this summer. I’m only taking a few college classes, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care throughout the week. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Tara has been an absolute angel dog sitter. I’ve never left Benny for as long as 7 days, and Tara has been so calming by communicating and sharing several pictures and updates throughout each day of their journey. She has stayed at our condo, and has let Benny out numerous times in the day, which is not easy in the cold for long periods at a time as well. She has gone above and beyond for us and we love Tara and hope to have to her watch Benny many more times in our future. He has really warmed up to her (which didn’t take long) and we are so grateful that we know he is getting proper care and loves snuggling with her as much as he does. He normally has a hard time eatting and drinking when we go out of town and hasn’t had a hard time at all. Tara is the best and you’d be so lucky to have her watch your pet!!!”
