“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”
“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy again!”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“I was really hesitant on leaving Ariya with someone because she’s a Velcro Puppy and has anxiety whenever I’m away. But she loves Kelly her second stay she ran right in tail wagging happy to be back, Kelly also provides me with updates pictures and videos of how she’s doing. I’m really grateful I found someone my puppy is comfortable with and I can go to work knowing she’s in safe hands.”

“Michelle was wonderful! She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing and sent us pics! We didn’t have to worry at all and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our girls were in Michelle’s loving care. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Great sitters. My dogs very energetic and demanding when it comes to attention. They kept me updated and helped me out in a pinch with a last minute stay. Will be my go to for pup sitting!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Ralph took great care of our dog, Amos, during his overnight stay. My husband handled drop-off and pick-up, and we both really appreciated how communicative Ralph was throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely has a heart for dogs. Amos was well cared for, and we’ll definitely book with Ralph again. Thank you, Ralph!”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs , cats for both my own pets, my friends , and pet sitting jobs. Looking forward to being able to spoil more dogs and cats! I'm currently unemployed and aside from possibly interning at a animal shelter I'm relatively always available unless I have a plan set up in advance A house with a yard that is not fenced in . 2 cats already living there. Have responded pretty well to dogs and other cats
“Erin was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pictures every day and was quick to respond. She made sure our dog was eating (hand feeding) even though he was nervous in a new setting. Our dog had a fun time playing with other dogs in her backyard. Would recommend!”
“Kathy had our fur boy for a week while we were out of the country. He became sick and she had to take him to the vet. She took very good care of him and kept us informed! Thanks again!”
“Sarah was excellent! She treated my handsome man like one of her own and is very experienced. She has a great property for those doggos that may need lots of exercise. She also kept me updated with pictures, videos and messages which put me at ease. Highly recommended!!”
“Lynda and her husband Walter took great care of our two dogs. She made it a priority to send pictures and videos at least every day. The dogs came home tired so we know they thoroughly enjoyed their time. We would trust them again in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
“Susan was great! very communicative and flexible. We came from out of town for a wedding and just needed someone for the night and it worked out great. Calvin, my dog, is a very dog friendly dog and got along with her dog finn very well who seems mild tempered. Susan sent me pictures and reassured me that Calvin was enjoying himself. If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“I have no doubt that Patricia loved our dog as her own while we were away. She communicated with me while we were away and sent pictures of the fun things they were doing together. She is a true dog lover and I would for sure hire her again!”

About: I have loved cats and animals my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing loving, reliable care while making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Jennifer is a pet lover doggies and kittens. She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. She is trust worthy and went above and beyond staying to give our cats love and was flexible feeding our special needs cats and giving medication. We will definitely be hiring Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and previously had a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.
“Shannon took very good care of my cat while I was gone. She and Pharaoh bonded with him sitting in her lap during most visits. I really appreciated getting a photo everyday. Shannon paid close attention to all the items on my list to her. I will be happy to hire her again.”
“Michelle was wonderful! Very quick to respond to my booking request and, after we spoke on the phone, any concerns I may have had disappeared. I really appreciated the prompt response to messages, and the daily photo updates kept my mind at ease. The best part was Meko didn't seem stressed at all when I picked her up, like she usually does when i have boarded her at different kennels. Couldn't ask for a better experience, and Michelle will be my go to sitter going forward!”
About: Hi! My name is Kendra and our family of 3 owns a house with a fenced in back yard that is awaiting your pup! I’m excited to continue the dog daycare here in Saginaw and hope you choose our home for your best friend! Send us a message with any questions or concerns and I will gladly get back with you when I can! We have a Shiba Eskimo. Dog care is part of our everyday routine. We love our dog and routinely let her out at regular times throughout the day. Usually morning, afternoon, evening and night. Your dogs environment will be a hit! We have a dog park right outside our backyard, with plenty of fun to be had. Our dog is super friendly and our loving kids will make your dog feel right at home.
About: I've had cats since I was born. Currently I own two of my own cats since they were both kittens. I litter trained them and even bottle fed one of them. I've administered medications to them both, weaned them from wet to dry food, and I've learned how to trim their nails properly. I even bathe them on occasion when they get messy or stinky.
“This was our second time booking with Laura, and she is such an amazing kitty sitter. She not only takes such good care of our cats, but also takes the time to put together a thorough 'report card' and takes such sweet photos. Really helps reassure me when I'm away”
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
“Logan was amazing he was great with Joel. Gave medicine with no problems. Joel warmed up to him. I would use him again and refer to others. Thank you for such a good job.”
About: While working for Wag! in the past I have taken care of several cats while sitting and I’ve done a few drop ins as well, and my parents have a cat of their own back home (Chloe shown in the picture above🥰). I’m VERY on top of litter box cleaning and vacuuming, just because I’m a neat freak myself. I have a genuine love for each unique personality of every kitty I meet and I can ensure a delightful experience for you and your baby❤️
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 16, from playful kittens to senior cats with special routines. I understand how unique each cat’s personality can be—some love constant attention, while others need quiet companionship. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or keeping their space tidy, I make sure every cat feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
“Tabitha took great care of my cats during our vacation. She quickly bonded with 2 of my 3 fuzzies (one is a feral rescue and only comes to me), offered to clean litter boxes, and kept their feeding area clean. She gave me back my ability to travel! I'm so very pleased, and hope to be calling on Tabitha again!”
About: We have three cats with very different personalities, which has given me experience understanding and caring for all kinds of cats. Our rescue cat is the one who convinced us we needed another cat. Our second cat dislikes just about everyone in the family except me, so I understand how important patience, trust, and respecting boundaries can be with more selective or anxious cats. We also have a Maine Coon kitten who acts more like a dog than a cat and loves attention and interaction. Living with such different personalities has helped me become very comfortable reading cat behavior and adjusting care based on each cat’s individual needs, comfort level, and routine.
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
“She took great care and had patience with my kitten. Even when I made a mistake with scheduling, she was flexible and able to help me. I would definitely use Sabrina again!”
“This was Olivia’s first time watching our cats and she was seriously outstanding. She really went above and beyond, overcoming some inconveniences to provide excellent care. I highly recommend.”
“We love Maria! She is very flexible and anyone who can handle my two little gremlins is a superhero! We have her come over a few days weekly due to our crazy work schedule and will continue to do so! Saves us so much trouble and the pups are so grateful! ?”

About: I love all animals, and creatures! My goal in life is to own an animal sanctuary one day, to house rescued animals. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a pre-teen, and it’s where my passion and empathy lie. I’m very calm, loving, and would be honored to give you relief in knowing your fur children are left in good care. I have two dogs of my own and a few hermit crabs, and I even feed the squirrels, bunnies, & birds that frequent our outside space. Reach out! I’m excited to help! This is my business. I’m fully invested in expanding, and being available to current and future clients. Animals bring me joy. Caring for them, keeping them safe, and in their routine, in their families absence, is what I’m here for. A long with lots of love and play time! I’d prefer to do home drop in’s, but my dogs are very friendly and love to play. I have a fenced in yard, but at this point unless emergency, or further discussion I prefer to drop by your home!
“Our dog Hank loved his stay at Sarah’s! He was able to spend a lot of the day playing outside with other dogs and was tuckered out when we picked him up (which was perfect). Sarah communicated with us throughout Hanks stay and leading up to it. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for dog care.”
“It has been so amazing to have Sabrina care for my puppy over the last several months. My girl always come home from daycare happy and exhausted !! I am moving out of state or I would use Sabrina forever !! Jenny and I are going to miss her and her family greatly !!”
“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.
“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”
“Megan was great with Buster! She really treated him like one of her own. She is attentive, understanding, and insightful. I would definitely recommend her for any of your dog’s needs.”
“Heather and her dog Jasper was so very nice and understanding (potty accidents) from excitement and room to run with newfound friend. Kept a good eye Alphie who can be a sassy brat or over excited. She's a lovely person who cares for any new buddies for Jasper, her pup. I would recommend her to anyone.”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! We have a large open park right in our backyard along with short trails. We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and is great with big, small, old and young dogs. We also two cats (a boy and girl) that sleep the day away and love spending time looking outside in the sunroom. My three kids (ages 9 - 14) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”

About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and previously had a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I've learned how to walk dogs, litter train cats, administer medications, trim nails, and give bathes. I've pet sit for my grandma plenty of times before and decided I want to give it a go for other people. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I routinely care for! I am a stay at home fiancee so I have all the free time in the world! I have open availability unless stated otherwise, and I am eager to be a helping hand to those who need it. I care for pets with love and gentleness in the home of my clients. I'm patient and willing to learn and do things in a way that will make the pets feel comfortable and loved. I can clean litter boxes, clean waste from dogs on walks or even in backyards if that's preferred, I can administer medications or give baths if needed. I could also trim nails if the owner is comfortable with it and it's needed
About: We are a pet-friendly home with one cat, two older kids who love dogs and all animals, and myself who will take gentle care of your dog/s, as well as cats, and/or all other animals while you are away. No type of animal (unless aggressive) will likely be turned away. I have loved and cared for my own pet dogs, cats, birds, and other critters my entire life, and I know and understand that you are trusting me to care for a member of your family. We do not take this responsibility lightly. In addition to several years of pet care, I have also had experience and training with professional bathing and grooming of dogs and cats, and caring for special-needs animals, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats including those with arthritis and diabetes, administering medicine, and giving injections and subcutaneous fluids. Our home is relaxed and open, with "safe spaces" where we can keep your pet if they want or need their own room.

About: Hi there! As much as I enjoy clinical therapy, I also have formal training as a vet tech and several years of experience in the field. I care strongly for cats as much as dogs, and my innate feelings of love, sensitivity, empathy and compassion make me truly happy in their presence! Even though I’ve had cats my whole life, I’m very experienced with dogs as well, in both formal and informal settings. I’m completely comfortable administering medications, giving injections (Ex: Insulin), administering fluids, taking care of sick/elderly/ICU pets, changing bandages, walking, feeding, playing with, and loving your furry friends. 💜 Please note: prices for my services are flexible for recurring services and in situations with multiple pets.

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience and my genuine passion for caring for animals. I have over four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a variety of settings, giving me the skills and confidence to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have worked in both doggy daycare and boarding facilities, where I cared for groups of dogs every day. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, monitoring dog behavior, ensuring safe interactions, feeding, administering medications when needed, and providing individualized care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. In addition to my professional experience, I have volunteered as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. Working with shelter dogs has given me experience handling dogs that may be shy, fearful, or still learning to trust people. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also provided pet care for friends, family, and members of my local community, caring for dogs in their own homes while their owners were away. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving pets companionship and love, I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and maintaining excellent communication with pet owners. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my weekly routine. I am a full-time student at Saginaw Valley State University and a member of the SVSU Dance Team, but I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to working around my classes and practices to meet the needs of my clients. I understand that pets rely on consistency, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight care whenever my schedule allows. I plan my time carefully so I can provide dependable, high-quality care and give every pet the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, overnight companionship, or care while you’re away for several days, I strive to be as flexible and reliable as possible. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’m passionate about, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else's care can be a big decision, which is why I take every step to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and comfortable. I create a calm and welcoming environment for your dog or cat, where they can feel at ease while you're away. Whether it’s keeping their routine consistent, providing plenty of mental and physical stimulation, or simply offering lots of love and attention, I’m committed to treating your pet like my own. I take safety seriously, with constant supervision, secure areas for play, and a vigilant eye to ensure no accidents happen. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll be fully attentive to your pet's needs and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always feel connected.
“Clair has been an amazing dog walker for our Australian cattle dog/beagle mix. She has been amazing with communication and any time changes that had to happen because of the hot weather. I’m so happy to know that we have a trusted dog walker we can count on now. I definitely recommend trusting Clair with your animal babies!”

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Cassidy, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I help operate our family-run pet care business, Furry Cuddles and Care LLC, where we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats through boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and house sitting. I grew up helping care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and multi-pet households. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, potty schedules, crate training, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, structured home environment where pets are treated like family, not like they’re in a kennel. Pets staying with me receive lots of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including homes with multiple pets. I also understand how important communication is to pet parents, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and messages during every stay. As a college athlete and honors student, I’m dependable, organized, responsible, and committed to providing safe and loving care for every pet entrusted to me. 🐾 What I Offer (Drop-Ins + House Sitting) I provide drop-in visits and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home while you’re away. I can help with: • Feeding + fresh water • Walks, playtime, and enrichment • Litter box care and basic cleaning • Medication (routine, non-injectable) • Calming anxious or shy pets • Cuddles or space, whatever your pet prefers • Photos and updates every visit • Watering plants, bringing in mail, and light home care My home is set up to provide a safe, comfortable, home-style environment for pets. I am not a kennel or high-volume boarding facility. I intentionally provide personalized care and supervision so pets feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and experience safely managing dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I can separate pets when needed and are experienced with introductions, nervous dogs, puppies, and pets that need extra attention. I also have cat-friendly spaces with separate areas available for cats or pets that need quieter accommodations. 🐾 Why You Can Trust Me Pet care has always been a family effort for us, and it’s something I genuinely care deeply about. Through helping operate our family’s pet care business, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets or entering your home, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I’m responsible, dependable, respectful, and truly love animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs extra patience and attention, I work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a calm, loving, home-style environment rather than a kennel experience.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”

If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.”
