About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from loyal childhood pets to rescuing animals in need. They’re more than companions to me; they’re family, healers, and honestly, some days I connect with them better than most humans. I understand their need for routine, comfort, patience, and love — the same values I bring from years of childcare experience. As someone who has cared for children professionally, I’m calm under pressure, intuitive to nonverbal cues, and deeply reliable. I know how to create safe, engaging environments, and that carries over naturally to how I care for pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog who just needs a gentle walk and some TLC, I meet them where they’re at. Hi! I’m a college student currently doing my internship at Novi High School, working toward a career in school counseling. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, and in between my family life and my internship, I’m looking to care for pets this summer to fill my cup and earn some extra income doing something I truly love. Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve had pets since I was a kid, including rescues — and they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I believe animals deserve the same kind of patience, consistency, and love that I bring to both parenting and working with students. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, grounded, and will treat your pet like family, I’d be honored to help. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active — all while ensuring they’re safely leashed, hydrated, and secure in their environment. For cats, I focus on a calm, clean, and enriched space with fresh food and water, clean litter, and gentle affection on their terms. Whether it’s managing energy levels or giving space when needed, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust in every moment of care.

About: Hi! My name is Alex. I am heavily involved in the world of animal rescue, and have experience with a variety of different animals. I have cared for and fostered dozens of dogs throughout my life, and absolutely love large dogs and bully breeds! I have also fostered and cared for hundreds of adult cats, kittens, and geriatric felines. I am a major proponent of positive reinforcement, and will not ever work with any kind of negative reinforcement or punishment based training. I am comfortable with some clicker and reward based training as well should you want to work on a few things with your dog and/or cat (I've trained a few cats to do tricks, too!) I am experienced in administering a variety of medications. I have three cats of my own ranging from 15-years-old to 2-years-old, and a 5-year-old 65lb pitty. Ask me anything! I truly cannot wait to meet your furry family members! My job allows me an immense amount of flexibility as well as being remote so I have lots of time for your baby! I can provide multiple check ins a day during the week or weekend. Although I do not bring clients into my home, I care for them in their comfortable home environment however they are most comfortable. It's important I maintain their routines and help them to feel safe and secure. For cats this includes dedicated toy time and snuggles, and for dogs it includes supervised yard time or walkies!

About: Hello all! I am a huge animal lover and have been an avid volunteer at various shelters for many years. I have been a trusted sitter for many friends and family members, and have pets of my own who are very much part of my family. I have a great deal of experience with many different breeds, some positive reinforcement training experience, and some basic first aid/troubleshooting experience. I will always treat any animal within my care as my own, and take my responsibility of being trusted with someone's family member incredibly seriously. I work from home on a varied, part-time schedule. I plan to use the late morning/early afternoon hours when I am typically free to do walks and/or check-ins and can do overnights as needed when my schedule allows. Making sure there is not "people food" easily accessible to the pet when that's a concern, being mindful of small parts they may try to eat and choke on etc. Making sure the animal has enrichment activities to make it less likely they will chew on or destroy anything they aren't supposed to. Paying attention to notes on pet profiles, making myself aware of any concerns with cats/dogs/kids/food aggression etc. Being sure to lock & double check doors before bed or when leaving the property.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since day one. I've been pet sitting since I was a young girl, and that really honestly prepared me for motherhood. As a mama of 4, and a doggy mama of 2 your pets will get the love they need with me! Ive got a lot of energy to play with more high energy dogs, and I love to just chill with the couch potatoes. I’ve had puppies and dogs all my life so if you’re in a training regiment I’m happy to help keep that consistent on my visits! My schedule is also very flexible so I’m available most days, even for last minute bookings. Just shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to make it work! Any special instructions for you cat or dog? No problem! Send all the tips and tasks my way! I’d be happy to do anything from bathing, to administering medication to grooming! All I know is I can’t wait to meet your special lass or lad!

About: I have have had a dog and have been around animals in general my whole life. People call me responsible and I want the animals to be in the best health they can be. I have been house sitting and pet sitting for about 3 years now so I have a lot of experience in different environments. Your pet will be in great care with me! Preferably don't like to work in the mornings or weekends. But other than that I am flexible. I would just like to know in advance what my work schedule is looking like. I have had a dog my whole life so I know how to handle them on walks very well. I will also have bags ready to use.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From growing up with cats, dogs, turtles, birds, and even a bunny, to being the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy, a shy senior cat, or a pet with special routines, I adapt easily and treat every animal like family. I’ve helped nurse a newborn lamb back to health while abroad, bathed muddy dogs after playtime, and made sure pets get all the love and attention they need while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or a playful buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. Hope to see you soon! My schedule is wide open for drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and overnight stays. Pet sitting is my full-time job so I have plenty of time to give your pets consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I take pride in being dependable, tidy, and respectful. I follow all routines closely and give regular updates so you always feel connected. I’m very active and love going on long walks with dogs or playing in the yard to help them burn energy in a fun, safe way. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or a playful buddy, I adapt easily.

About: I grew up with a cat and a dog, and have a cat and dog of my own now. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and I have pet-sat for many neighbors and family friends throughout my life. I currently work from home most days, so I have extra time and flexibility to check in on your babies while you may be away. I know how difficult and scary it can be to trust someone with your babies and most prized possessions. I always have and always will handle things professionally and with love and care. I’m happy to send an update, pictures, do whatever I can to help bring you peace of mind while checking in on your furry family member!

About: As I have a flexible schedule I am generally available to watch your pets! As many of my reviews say I help when you’re in a pinch! I am great with all pets and I am currently Studying psychology which I learned how to train animals and may be able to help! I also enjoy walking so when I’m with your pets they will get plenty of those!!! I also have my dog Finnegan who lives with me and I’ve have been raising him since I rescued him. I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I also take short notice and can make things work if you can. As I very trust worthy my own home is fenced in and no poisonous plants are back there as it is very serious. I also keep all products pets may get into put away and keep them out of restricted areas!

“Samantha is amazing, she never failed to send pictures and get plenty of exercise with my insanely hyper dog, he just loved her. In February of this year I got into a horrible accident and didn’t wake up for two days, I lived alone and my dog didn’t have anyone, I woke up in the ICU and Samantha was the first one I got a hold of knowing she had a key. She showed and saved my dogs life, my keys were lost in the accident and I had no way to get home. She safely got the key to my family and Obsidian is safe and healthy with me traveling across the United States and happier then ever. I couldn’t thank her enough for being that reliable. I don’t know what I would ever do without my boy.”


About: I show the same love and care to every pet I encounter as if they were my own. Any pet that is in my care will feel safe and happy. I am a stay at home father so I have plenty of time to schedule walks and drop ins. I am available most mornings and afternoons. If in house service is needed I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Any instructions provided to me will be followed to the tee.

About: I started pet sitting after getting my first dog 6 years ago. He’s well trained and knows a bunch of commands because I enjoyed training him! Since then I’ve fostered, dog-sat, and rescued a bunch of dogs and even some cats! I currently work 3-4 days a week so, I have a lot of free time! I usually devote it to making extra cash and I prefer dog sitting because I actually enjoy it. I prefer to let my dog roam with frequent bathroom breaks and play time. I treat dogs in my home as a part of the family. Every dog is different and my need different care!

About: I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own who are very socialized! I’m great at training fur babies if they need any and I have lots of energy to keep up with them as well! My partner and I recently bought our home in Detroit that has a good size yard for play space for your dogs! I also do date night sitting in the surrounding areas so I have no problem driving out to give your fur babies a potty break and some love when you’re out at work. I have been doing house sitting along with pet sitting for some time now so I have great references if needed! I am married, no children yet and as I mentioned have 2 dogs and 4 kitties! They’re all very friendly and welcoming to others. I work from home so I have time to give love and as many potty breaks as they need while they are here! I treat all dogs like my own. I have a fenced yard and will do lots of supervised play time in it! My dogs love to play with other dogs as well, all supervised of course!

I have 10 years of animal watching experience, I truly do enjoy it. I also worked at a doggy day care for 5 years where I gained so much experience. We also looked after cats. I am dog First Aid/CPR certified. I volunteer at the Michigan Human Society once a month. I am in the process of currently completing my MBA and one day would like to open up an animal rescue.

About: I work from home so your pet will not be left home alone for extended periods of time. I am kind, compassionate, and patient. I have knowledge of working with a variety of pet personalities, including those shy and nervous. I have extensive experience working with dogs including working in a boarding kennel, at a pet store, and at a dog park. I also have 15 years of house and pet sitting experience. My personal experience includes being around dogs my entire life. My family has always had them in the home and once I moved out, I gained a couple of my own. I have two dogs who are 100% pet friendly. I specialize in sensitive and older dogs who may have a hard time at a boarding kennel or in a more lively home. I have both a rescue and older dog who are sensitive and unable to be boarded outside of the home. I know how difficult this can be and would love to open my home to your pet when you are in need. Iwould like to make your dog sitter situation as stress-free as possible, and am willing to do what is required to diminish the worry that comes with leaving your pets in the care of someone else. My home is an excellent environment for the more particular pets, as it is tailored to my own. I live in a ranch with no other people in the home. There are no stairs and the majority of the floor is carpet, perfect for pets who have issues with mobility or fear regarding flooring. Pets are always given the option to socialize with us but if they prefer to be on their own to rest. We will not have visitors while your pup is a guest. I am a public school employee and do not work out of the home over the summer. Your pet will get plenty of attention and entertainment. I care for your dog as if it were my own. I can make accommodations on a dog by dog basis. My personal dogs have wildly different needs and I recognize that not all dogs have the same needs. I will do what is necessary to keep your dog happy, healthy, and safe.

“She got my boy who likes to sniff everything to stay moving and walk 2.5 miles! I got pictures and video all along the way...and I am sure he will sleep the rest of the afternoon while we are at work!! Adding her to my list of favorites!”


About: Pet lover of all kinds, I’d walk a bearded dragon if given the opportunity. Trust and kindness is what you can expect from me when taking care of your furry companion. I myself have a border collie mix of 5 years old, so trust me when I say, I. Stay. Active. She’s a disc loving doggy and my disc golf game has improved with her love of fetch. That said, whether we’re walking, playing fetch, or just getting some snuggles or pets in, I can assure you that you furry friend is safe with me. Most weekends I’m either studying or outdoors hiking and spending time with my pup. Adding in some extra furry friends just makes sense, where they can enjoy living their best life when yours gets busy. I have a fully fenced in yard and secure home. I don’t believe in rat poison or mouse traps, so you’ll never find that around my property. Tasty smelling food and non edibles are always secured safely in a locked cabinet. I stress over the safety of your pet so you don’t have to 😉

He’s aware of her habits, her unique traits, and what makes her feel secure and joyful. From adhering to her feeding schedule to ensuring she enjoys her preferred walking path and providing her with the affection she craves while I’m gone, he consistently exceeds my expectations.
