About: I’m a proud dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who I’ve raised since he was 7 weeks old — he’s now 6 years old and the best companion! I have several years of experience caring for small to medium-sized dogs with friendly temperaments. I love calm pups who enjoy cuddles, walks, and playtime. I’m patient with basic manners and simple routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their family is away. I’m currently finishing my final semester of medical school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs daytime playtime, regular walks, or just companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to be there when they need me. I look forward to speaking with the pet owners and helping set up a plan to ensure their pets are properly cared for at home.
“Emily was so wonderful! She was extremely responsive when I contacted her and came over immediately to meet our precious Ezra! She arrived promptly and sent me reports and pictures of her visit. I would highly recommend Emily! I will be using her again for sure!!! Thank you Emily, you made my time away stress free!!”

“She did such a great job with my boys! One is elderly, while the other is scared of everything. She was very patient with them. Both of the boys came back much more relaxed ☺️”

“Mackenzie is sweet, responsible, and dependable! My two pups love her and so do I! Thank you for helping with midday walks so I can focus on on my work day.”

“Very professional! She always arrived on time, gave them good long walks, took pics of their walks, she was even kind to let me know about their bowel movements and health state when applicable, both doggies always returned happy and exercised and looked like they both enjoyed a lot their walks with Gabriela. Highly recommend her a lot!!”


About: Hello! My name is Aiden. I'm a 20-year-old college student who has been pet-sitting since I was in high school. I have taken care of puppies and geriatric dogs and all ages in-between! I completed the Agriscience and Environmental Technologies course at Oakland Schools Technical Campus Northwest. The Animal Science track of the course taught me how to care of, groom, and manage the behavior of pets. I have taken care of a dog of my own since I was eight-years-old. His name is Bolt, and although he's gotten older and slowed down a bit since he was a puppy, he still has the most energy out of any 12-year-old dog I've ever seen! I'm currently on summer break from Michigan State University where I will be entering my final year as a Graphic Design Major in the fall. I have an internship with the USPBL on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I still am free after 4:00 on those days, and on any other day of the week (besides Saturday 3:00-5:30 for mass)! I am a very attentive caretaker and always make sure that pets are properly fed, played with, walked, and given any medication needed. I also always make sure to clean up any messes I or the pet create, and let you know if I noticed anything off about the pet's movement or behavior. Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my house due to my dog who is used to being an only child.
About: Specialize in small dog boarding, and drop in visits for dogs of all sizes! Currently I have a loving 7lbs bichon mix. Previously I have had 1 australian shepard and 3 cats. I have worked with animal shelters-mainly dog and also cat rescue. I can also help with basic obedience training and leash walking. Would love to help take care of your fur baby! Work part time/remotely. I have a fenced in patio area for bathroom relief and take dogs on walks in nearby parks to explore new places. My Bichon mix doesn’t respond to any harsh tones. Therefore happy voices, positive reinforcement, patience and love was what got us on the same page. Would love to care for other animals the same way.
“I can't recommend Ashley enough as a dog walker! She has been walking my golden retriever, Molly, regularly for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Ashley is incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me peace of mind during my busy days. Not only is she friendly and approachable, but her genuine love for dogs truly shines through in her interactions with Molly. It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure Molly is happy and well-cared for during their walks. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy and has a real passion for dogs, look no further than Ashley! She’s fantastic, and I’m so grateful to have her!”

“Abbey has been great with our dog. She gives her plenty of attention and is attentive to her needs. Our needs waver and she is always flexible within her capacity. She’s been a great addition to Pippin’s care team.”

About: I’ve taken care of my and my friend’s dogs for a long time ever since I’ve been a kid and I love doing it! I find joy in spending time with dogs and taking care of them :) My sister’s roomate has a cat and when she doesn’t have time to take care of her, I happily ensure her cat is taken care of. I also have a dog, personally, so I ensure I give every dog the happiest and best walks! I make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved, whether they're in my home or their own. For dog walking, I stick to their usual routine and keep them safe while giving them plenty of exercise and attention.

About: I currently own an pit lab mix and her name is Stella and I have had her for a few years. She is the best especially around people and I love taking her to new places. I love being around dogs, any breed or size . I Love taking walks and enjoying the outdoors. I like to explore new areas and it’s always nice to have a friend while doing it. If you have a high energy dog I would love to play with them, but also dogs that just like to chill and cuddle I enjoy as well. I can walk your dog on weekends and during the evening during the week, mid day as well. I would love to become a dog walker or sitter to get to know more about other breeds and to get to know my area I do have another full time job, but I am willing to accommodate to your pets needs. We can discuss this further when booking. I am able to have decently flexible schedule. I will listen to the needs of the client. I will make sure that their pet is well loved and cared for while I am watching them.

“Scott is absolutely fabulous with our little dog, Jackson! Jackson is happy and returns from his walks even happier! Scott is on time, efficient, trustworthy, and obviously loves what he does! We're so glad we found him!”


About: I have 3 years experience babysitting for a private family, they had 3 children and a dog. On multiple occasions I was asked to come to the house once or twice a day, let her out, play with her and feed her! I’ve done this one day at a time, or even 4-5 days in a row as they were out of town! I also dog sat/house sat last summer for an adorable senior black lab for two weeks. I slept at the house, fed her, took her on walks, and of course played with her! I recently dog sat for 4 days, and just came twice a day to let him out, play with him, feed him, and took him on a walk as she requested! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible enough for me to consistently provide attentive pet care throughout the week! I enjoy making time for walks, play, and scratches. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them and you feel comfortable and stress free. In my client’s home, I make sure pups are fed on schedule, exercised, given attention, and kept in a clean and safe environment! I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was from high school. I have a Labrador retriever and an Australian cattle dog at home. Plenty of space for dogs to run around! We have a large backyard and it will be me, my mom and I will be at home. We are excellent and experienced in taking care of cats and dogs. Our schedule allow us at least one person will be home for taking care of pets. We have cages, toys, supplies and treats for pets. We do have a balcony, sometimes we allow our dog to take a break at. We have many bowls for food and water. We have fences and cages inside our home if they need to be separated. We also have a basement can use.
About: I am a high school teacher looking to spend the summer helping dogs. :) Education: I am a graduate of Michigan State University, with a major in English and a minor in Sociology. Experience: I have always owned a dog, and have been dog-sitting from a very young age. I am very experienced with dogs, and I walk with a few a couple times a week. I have not only become so proficient in pet care from my own experience, but via my aunt, who is an experienced and established veterinarian, who is only a phone call away. I have experience with all types of dogs--from young to old, and healthy to sick, and I am always happy to help. Interest: I love all dogs and would be happy to help care for any. I am super flexible and eager to help, whether it's house-sitting, walking, dropping in, or anything else you can think of! Currently, I am on summer break from teaching. I am available all day to provide any type of animal service -- walking, running, cuddling, etc. I can walk or run with dogs, take them to the park, go on car rides, etc. I am happy to do anything that helps maintain a dog's routine :)
“Kendall has been stopping by to check on our dog a few times a week for the last couple weeks and we are extremely pleased. She has been very professional and a great communicator. Would highly recommend!!”
