Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.

Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!

About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well

Heather watched my dog and cat at my house and did everything I requested. Both my animals and home were well cared for. She also provided photos during the time I was away. What has been very impressive to me is her excellent communication. I would definitely recommend Heather for pet care/sitting!

About: I’ve been caring for ALL types of animals since I was a child: horses, cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits and yes.. dogs and cats! I speak their languages fluently and have an intuition of what they are needing just by watching them. The needs of your beloved pet is my top priority. Allow me to help you walk your dog or feed and visit with them! Cats need some care? I can pop in for some play, feeding and chit chat! I offer brisk, fun walks and even trips to the dog park if desired. I'm located in the University District of Detroit and also serve Ferndale, Royal Oak, Palmer Woods and Sherwood Forest. Let's meet and greet! I am a professional artist working mostly from home and take my own pups on long walks daily. I'm available weekdays and have some weekends open for walks, too. I am currently boarding pets at my house but need to do a meet and greet with my pups first to make sure it’s a great fit! Let's chat!

Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!

Valerie took wonderful care of our three dogs. She let me know when she gave Domino his heart medication which put my mind at ease. She also took pictures of them once or twice a day and sent them to me. She also took care of my daughter‘s tortoise which decided to be an escape artist, and she had to hunt him down in the neighbors yard. On returning from our vacation, she left the house extremely clean, which was extremely appreciated.

She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me plenty of photos and videos, and my dogs never have never been happier. I would definitely recommend Jaden and use again for future sittings.

Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs!! She stayed at our home while we went out of town and dealt with our 1 year old golden retriever, 6 year old golden retriever, and my parents 16 year old mix breed. She took amazing care of all 3 dogs even though they didn’t make it easy on her at times. She kept our house clean as well which was a huge bonus. Emily kept us updated throughout our trip with updates and lots of cute photos. We truly appreciate her caring for our fur babies and can’t wait to use her again in the future. It’s so important to find someone you trust who cares about your pets as much as you do, Emily is definitely that person. You won’t regret hiring her to watch your pets!

About: I grew up with two cats, fish, a guinea pig and a dog! I started taking care of animals officially when I was 14. My neighbors hired me to either walk their dogs, pet sit during trips, or just check in on them during the day. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. Some of the neighbors that hired me had me coming back for years every day to either walk there dog, let there dogs out or feed their cat. I also have experience with overnight pet care. Currently looking for a part-time job in Burlington, so my hours are very flexible and I have open availability for all your pet care needs! I always make sure that I understand very clearly all the details for caring for someone’s pet. Every pet is unique and requires different things. I am 100% transparent and appreciate communication. I always make sure to double check everything and I value your pets safety and well being just as much as my own.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Gary has watched my dog Koda a few times now. He always does a great job- keeping me informed of what is happening and even adjusting his schedule to align with my mine. On one of my trips I was forced stay an extra day outside the US due to airline issues. Gary accommodated this unplanned emergency and made everything go smoothly. Personally, I think Koda believes he is the one on vacation when Gary watches him.

Diane was a fantastic sitter! She was amazing and easy to work with throughout the process. She stayed in my home while I traveled and my deeply anxious rescue dog and my cats never missed me. Diane kept me informed while I was away, followed all my instructions, and my pets were safe and happy in my absence. I look forward to hiring her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook her. She’s truly a thoughtful and special person who will care for your pets so you can relax while you’re away.

Elizabeth is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever used. I was able to go away for a weekend on short notice and know without a doubt my 2 dogs were in the best hands. She sent me lots of updates and plenty of cute pictures while I was away. She asked all the right questions if anything came up. I also came back to a clean house which was a huge plus. She was able to handle our crazy 1.5 year old golden and keep our 6 year old golden very happy. You could genuinely tell they enjoyed their time with her just from the photos. Would definitely use Elizabeth again and can’t thank her enough!! If you are looking for a well qualified dog sitter who truly cares about your pet as if they are her own, look no further.
