Rachel is quite possibly the sweetest person I’ve ever met, and it’s clear that she was born to take care of dogs. Our dog can be quite anxious and usually takes a bit to acclimate to new environments, but it was clear that he immediately felt at ease and right at home with Rachel and the other pups. She is so kind and sweet with our boy, and I love that she provides engaging and enriching activities even beyond just romping in the huge yard. I feel so at ease knowing my boy is happy, loved, and taken care of while he is with Rachel!

Greatly appreciated Kristen's 1) willingness to accommodate us when we needed daycare at the last minute, 2) her patience with and fondness for our super energetic 4-month old puppy, and 3) the pictures that gave us a glimpse of our boy's first time with the other dogs at her home. Each of these things made us feel more at ease. We will definitely request Kristen G. again.

About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though we were her very first client, she treated our pup like absolute family from the second we walked in. She was warm, professional, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Don't let her lack of reviews fool you, she is a natural at this and truly wonderful with pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Samantha was very friendly and her house was clean and tidy! She immediately gave my dog some treats and he warmed up very quickly. I got lots of photos and a few videos throughout the day and it made me so happy to know my boy was in safe hands! Will definitely be using Samantha’s doggy day care services again.

About: I grew up with many different animals at home and I loved to take care of them and play with them. I also had dogs and was able to breed and enjoy 12 puppies. I also take care of my neighbors two dogs when they go on vacation or extended weekends. Now I have a Doberman for the last 6 years and she is a smart and loving companion and I trained her to be a service dog. I know how to respond if your furry friend should get sick and have great contacts to a veterinarian hospital. I left corporate world in December last year and are now enjoying retirement. I will have plenty of time to accommodate and play with your furry friend. I have a single family home with fenced in yard to accommodate your dog and to play with Piper, my 6 year old Doberman girl.

Jess is absolutely my 1 and only go to for caring for my sweet baby. After such a terrible experience with my previous sitter .. jess has been a breath of fresh air. She takes amazing care of Nova! And Nova just loves her and all her friends she gets to see when she visits. Jess is patient and kind and really treats your pets as her own. Nova gets to run around and gets nap times throughout the day. Jess makes sure she addresses the needs of each dog individually and they each get the attention they need. I would 100% recommend her EVERY SINGLE TIME

About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.

Angela and her rescue pack are great! She’s so kind, comforting, and understanding with our shy anxious rescue girl. Her boys Ernie and Jerry are a nice bonus to help socialize Gretchen with other dogs. I also appreciate Angela’s open honest and frequent communication.

I am an experienced professional dog handler and trainer with space in my home to care for your family members who cannot accompany you while you're away. I am currently work a hybrid work schedule (some days I work from home, other days I am in the office); I have 5 years experience in a kennel environment and working with working/professional dogs, as well as dogs with behavioral issues; and training/showing/trialing my own companions - I have experience and titles with my dogs in obedience, agility, and nosework in both AKC and UKC and other venues. I focus on force-free training methods, while still making sure to ensure rules and boundaries in my household. As much as I love training, training is not offered as part of your stay. I currently work from home, and am able to let out frequently. Your pets will be treated like my own while they stay with me. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup who loves to meet new friends! I am set up for any scenario needed, and have crates for safety and feeding. If your dog isn't used to staying in a crate is reliable to be left alone, I have baby gates set up around the home to keep them out of places they shouldn't be.

Alan was incredibly accommodating when I needed to book pretty last-minute for a holiday and set up a meet & greet with me right away. I knew my dog would be in amazing hands, and based on the photos I received and how exhausted my dog was at the end of the night, I'd say he had a really great time with Alan and the pups. I know it's always a little bit nerve-racking booking a sitter for the first time, but Alan is incredible and I highly recommend him!

It has been such a blessing to find Rachel. I am in Detroit for extended visits with family, and one of the things that makes that possible is having a 'home away from home' for my Cavapoo, Mica. Rachel is always walking the dogs or playing with them, or coming up with enrichment activities - so my dog isn't just sitting around all day - but it's also clear that Rachel absolutely loves each dog in her care like family, and she is the sweetest human besides. Mica has separation anxiety, and I don't worry for a minute about her with Rachel. We are so grateful for you, Rachel!

Cody is the best! Our dog Cashew is so comfortable with him and his dog Sersi now that she basically drags us to the door when we drop her off. Cody also writes the best report cards & is very responsive when we message him!
