“Steven was amazing with my dog Ace! He was professional, reliable, and kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Ace was happy and well cared for when I got back. Highly recommend—will definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“Angela provided a great home away from home for our elderly dog. She let us know how Winnie was doing while we were gone. The absolute proof that Winnie felt comfortable was that when we arrived to pick her up, Winnie came to greet us excitedly, then ran back and gave Angela the same greeting.”
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“My dog had a wonderful time. LaTasha sent updates, was very communicative and professional during my dogs stay. If we ever need a sitter again and she's and available we will definitely book again.”
“Best experienced ever. Nia was great. So was Phillip. Great folks. They took good care of Lilly. They were very engaged and sent us pics as well as video. There was plenty of room in the yard for our dog to play. I highly recommend them. We will call on them again soon.”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Gus had a great stay in Detroit with Theresa and Adrian! They were super accommodating, sweet with Gus and very attentive and kept us informed all along. We would use them again in a flash but were only in Detroit for a wedding weekend. They are the best-we highly recommend!!”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Great experience! Our dog seems like he has a great time. Lindsay was flexible and communicative about pickup and drop off times. No complaints, would recommend, will use Lindsay again if the need arises.”
“Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!”
“Maritza & Daniel were absolutely AMAZING!! They clearly love animals and know how to spoil the fur babies that they sit. Will be using them again in the future, thank you both so much!! ❤️”
“Another great stay with Sofia! She took wonderful care of Oakley for a short overnight, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I appreciated her communication and the care she gave my girl. It’s such a relief to know Oakley is in good hands when I’m away. I’d happily book Sofia again!”
“Brittnie was great. She communicates all the time and sent plenty of pictures with the updates. I could not have been happier with her service and I highly recommend her.”

“Katherine saved us in a pinch when our cat sitter for our wedding fell through last minute. She was kind, communicated great, and gave our cats extra love and treats. Could not recommend her more!”
“Annie has watched our cats several times now and she’s always super responsive, super sweet, and helpful with anything you need. She sends pictures on every check in and puts your mind at ease while you’re away!”
“Shannon did an amazing job of taking care of our senior cat, Moo. I love that she also has elderly cats and knew how to give Moo the best care. She went above and beyond, cleaned up some hair balls, and left me many photos which helped when I was missing Moo.”
“We were very happy with the care Danielle gave our 2 cats while we were away. We really appreciated the detailed reports and photos of her visit. She followed our instructions perfectly and we could tell that Tyler and Sierra felt comfortable with her and looked forward to her visits. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”
“Jason was great - this was our first time having him do drop - in’s for us and it was for a longer trip for us - 10 days out of state. He definitely went above and beyond and we would have him back.”
About: Since I was in my teens I have lived a life with pets - and it has been such a rewarding journey so far! I have had cats in my house as part of my family every year of my life since I was 14. I currently have a multi-cat household, and do TNR in my neighborhood where I can to help the outdoor stray cats. I have also rehomed multiple stray cats with the help of local rescues, in order to help as many possible have long happy kitty lives. I have experience with cats of all ages, from bottle feeding kittens to 18 year old seniors, and am comfortable giving any medications as well. I know my way around all kinds of personalities and ages, whether it be those that want to play or those that need some extra special attention. I have also been working with the same vet for 20+ years that can attest to my care and love for animals. I will treat every pet like my own - patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Being around animals - that's my happy place.
“Happy repeat customer here. Alicyn looked after our two cats and our house with the utmost care and attention. Because one of out cats requires frequent medication it’s hard for us to take vacations. Being able to count on Alicyn’s reliable help allows us to travel with peace of mind.”
About: I've been surrounded by cats my entire life—from the time I was a child, I grew up with them in my home and spent countless hours bonding with friends’ cats as well. This lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior, their unique personalities, and how to create a safe, comforting environment for each cat I work with. Whether it’s daily care, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every cat with the love and patience they deserve.
About: Our pets are family. I’ll treat yours with all the love & attention they deserve to give you peace of mind. I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old, starting with my Cocker Terrier mix, who was my best friend for 20 years. Since then, I’ve cared for & trained a variety of breeds, from tiny Yorkies to huge German Shepherds & all the shapes & sizes in between. I’ve developed an uncanny ability to form quick bonds so dogs feel at ease quickly with me in their pack. I’m patient, & super comfortable getting even the most timid dogs to warm up in no time. I provide flexibility during stays when you need special accommodations for uncertain travel days. I’m very communicative with my clients, so I’ll gladly answer questions & provide regular updates or pictures throughout my time with your pet. I also have ample experience caring for cats if your feline needs a friend. Presently, I’m dog dad to the sweetest 4 y/o Australian Shepherd who loves making new friends & hosting guests. We’d love to count yours among them! I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend better, & ensure my pup, Sersi & I are the ideal fit for your needs. We’ll look forward to meeting you & your buddy soon! As a dog dad, pet care is central to my routine. I work from home, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to play & engage with them, ensuring they feel loved & stimulated. I understand how stressful it can be when life takes us away from our furry friends, but you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for in my home where your pup will have my friendly Aussie as a playmate. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensuring your dog settles in quickly to feel right at home with all the comforts they’re used to. I have a safe neighborhood house with a fully fenced backyard for all the sniffing & zoomies time they could ask for. During drop-in visits or walks at your home, I follow routines closely, maintaining your pet’s schedule & environment while giving them all the attention they need to burn energy & feel happy. I make special care to keep them safe on walks through local neighborhoods & parks.
“Will took excellent care of my cat and home. He is a great communicator and I could tell he spent extra time playing with my cat as he was super chill. Will’s consideration for the details of my pet and home was noteworthy. His updates were exactly what I needed to relax away from home and my routine driven kitty 🐈⬛”
“Casie is awesome! Very caring and attentive. Took wonderful care of our senior cat who requires meds. Excellent attention to detail and a wonderful caretaker!! Highly recommend!!”
“Phoenix is always reliable, communicative, friendly, and obvious cares about the animals she's charged with caring for. We've used her cat visit/care services many times and will continue to do so.”
About: I’ve had cats & cared for them my whole life. Some of the cuddliest & some of the most skittish, I love them all and meet them where they’re at. ❤️ I adopted my cat who kept peeing in the previous owners home. I liter trained him & haven’t had a single accident since the day we brought him home! My late mom was the biggest cat lover I knew, so cats hold a special place in my heart as they remind me of her.

About: Get $20 off your first stay with me with promo code LINDSO69427 Hello pet-lover! 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.
“Really RECOMMENDED! Although, Jigi is super spoiled and not happy with strangers, she was really comfortable with Kristen! My dog is almost 15 years old with Cushing's syndrome and coughing. Kristen was very careful, watchful and took care of Jigi in the best way. Kristen is very flexible too. :)”
“My dog loved his visit and Rachel loved him too! He was there for a dog birthday party and was sent home with a new tie and cupcake, it was very cute. She sent videos and pictures. We did a doggy daycare experience when we needed somewhere for our dog until we could check into our Airbnb.”
“I needed a last minute week booking and they were amazing. Gizmo enjoyed being around everyone and the kept me abreast of his status throughout the day. I’ll definitely use Tony and Victoria again.”
About: Hi! I’m Stephanie! 🐾 I work full-time from home for Rocket Mortgage, so I’m home pretty much all day and your pup will have lots of company and attention while they’re here. I have two Pomeranians of my own. Luna is my “Covid puppy” and definitely the social butterfly of the house, while Cosmo is my sweet 14-year-old senior boy. Having a senior dog has given me lots of experience with the extra patience and care that older pups sometimes need. There’s also a baby in the house, so definitely a busy little household! The dogs are very much part of the family and I’m used to having a full house. We’re on a large corner lot with a fully fenced-in yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space for potty breaks, hanging out and getting some fresh air. We’ll still do walks, of course, but having a secure yard is definitely a nice bonus! And when it’s time to come inside, there’s a nice comfy couch right by the window where the dogs can keep themselves entertained watching everyone walk by. 😂 If your pup enjoys a good neighborhood watch spot and barking at the occasional passerby, they’ll fit right in! I’m pretty flexible when it comes to what your pup needs. Special diets, medications, potty accidents, extra walks, a specific routine, or just a LOT of cuddles are all totally okay with us. I know every dog is different, and am happy to keep them on whatever routine makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, send pictures and updates, and make sure they get plenty of attention while they’re here. I know leaving your dog with someone can be stressful, so my goal is for you to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own. 🐶❤️ I would love to have your pup come hang out! Our schedule is pretty relaxed and flexible! Since I work from home, I’m able to give the dogs attention, potty breaks, walks and outside time throughout the day rather than keeping them on a strict schedule. We’ll follow your pup’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding times, medications, naps and whatever they’re used to at home. There’s plenty of time for walks and supervised yard time, but also lots of lounging, napping and hanging out with us. Basically, the dogs get to go with the flow of our day. If they want to play, we play. If they want to nap on the couch and watch the neighborhood, that works too! I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a large corner lot with a fully fenced yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so pups have plenty of secure space to get outside. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day and able to keep a close eye on everyone. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, medications, special diets and the occasional potty accident.
“Sofia was great! She has a great space to host dogs. She cared for Murphy and even treated him to a coffee shop pup cup! Thank you, Sofia! Looking forward to seeing you again.”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet sitter with several years working in a kennel environment and as a groomer. I also enjoy fostering/training dogs for local shelters! I have experience with behaviorally complex dogs as well as working and giant breeds. In addition to professional experience caring for dogs, I also have three personal dogs that I train, show, and trial with in sports! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m generally not out of the house for more than an hour or two each day. I want your dogs to feel at home here! My three bedroom home has a fully fenced yard and is set up to be safe and comfortable for pets. Dogs who prefer to be the only pet are welcome to solo access to the back yard and one on one time in the house with me! Safety is always my first priority, so all dogs are crated for meal times and when unsupervised/over night. Please note that we have one adult cat in the house! While she is very dog savvy, I’m happy to ensure she is in a separate space if needed.
“Bentley had a great time hanging out with Murphy and Meredith. We've just moved to the Ferndale area, and he misses his old neighbor friends. Happy he's made a friend with Murphy:)”
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.
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.
“First day care day with Jess was a success! Jess was super communicative and flexible providing me with feedback and updates throughout the day. Huxley was able to play with a great group of pups and he came home with a great attitude and passed out. Hux will be looking forward to his longer stay over the holidays :)”
“Alan's energy was super positive from the moment we met him, and Stormy had a blast hanging out with him. He communicated a lot, sent great photos, and even gave a dog park reference. He obviously loves what he does, and the pups love him right back. Great guy. Thank you Alan!”
“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!”
“Maritza did a great job communicating with me for Marlon’s first visit. I am super grateful and glad to know he’s being watched by a thoughtful and caring family.”
“Sara was amazing! She was available in a pinch for doggy daycare. Our pup truly enjoyed hanging out and having puppy playtime with her dog, Milo! We will definitely be using Sara’s services again in the future.”
“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'm very happy with Annie and Dustin. I've been coordinating with them from out of state to walk my little guy (Dexter) while he stays with my dad for the month. I really appreciate how easy they are to communicate with, the photos, and their detailed account of of how Dexter is doing. It makes me feel better about being far away. They are definitely pros. Highly recommend.”
“Moxie and I just love Allie! She’s great at communication and is super helpful whenever I need her. She goes above and beyond even bringing in my packages from the porch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”
“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”
“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”
About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.
About: Since I was in my teens I have lived a life with pets - both dogs and cats, and it has been such a rewarding journey so far! I have had two rescue dogs, a collie mix and a beagle, and they had my whole heart. I currently have a multi-cat household, and do TNR in my neighborhood where I can to help the outdoor stray cats. I have also rehomed multiple cats with the help of local rescue groups to ensure a long happy kitty life. Currently, I spend a great deal of time with my best buddy Rocco, an 8 year old black lab. I have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs and large dogs and honestly enjoy them all the same! I also have experience with cats of all ages, from bottle feeding kittens to 18 year old seniors, and am comfortable giving any medications to dogs or cats as well. I know my way around all kinds of personalities and ages, whether it be those that want to play or those that need a slow, gentle walk and some extra attention. I have also been working with the same vet for 20+ years that can attest to my care and love for animals. I will treat every pet like my own - patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Being around animals - that's my happy place. My hours at work have changed which allows me to be available Monday-Friday 11am-3pm. I'm available for walks, drops ins for potty breaks while you're at work, or to check on your kitties if you'll be gone longer than you'd like to be. Lots of time for playing with your furry family members! I would be happy to come to your home and treat it and your pets with respect and care. My personal cats are all fixed and up to date on shots, however I took in a stray girl last winter who is very scared of everything. I think it's best to let her rule the house and come to visit yours at your homes where they are most comfortable.

About: I have been pet sitting on and off since high school! When your pets are here, they will be at home. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to enjoy. I am currently off of work so I can focus on my education. While your pet is here they will have round the clock care from my husband and I. I have a fenced in backyard, and a modest home in Hazel Park with the ability to walk your dog in my neighborhood. Please let me know how I can best care for your pet.

About: Hello! My name is Phoenix - I am an avid animal lover who has worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes throughout my 15 years of experience with volunteering for animal rescue, as well as owning them throughout my lifetime. My top priority is to ensure your best friend feels safe & at home during their stay. Expect thorough updates and high quality photos all day long of your pet! Also, please enjoy the reassurance that your dog will never be left unsupervised! I now work from home. If I do have to leave the home, I have a doggie cam in which allows me to watch AND talk to them from anywhere! I immediately receive alerts to my phone when they are active. I attended Michigan State University for my Pre-Veterinary requirements so I am able to confidently administer any medications or special diets your pet needs. I have familiarity with many dogs/cats of many behaviors - so if your pet is timid or full of energy, no worries! Dogs are allowed to curl up on the couch with me, as well as sleep on my bed (if you allow). The more the merrier. When they enter my home I like to make them feel comfortable and like they are apart of the family. I have 2 dogs, an Australian Shepherd, Luna, and a Beagle/Basset Hound, Leo, whom are extremely social and has an endless amount of energy, if your dog would enjoy a playmate. One last thing, I do have cats - but they are not your typical cat. They are extremely desensitized to dogs and very friendly towards them. Many dogs who have had little to no cat experience are usually in shock by their confidence and just respect their space! Hope to hear from you and your fur baby soon!

“Yucca can be a lot to handle on a walk and Skylar did amazing with him. He worked on the heel command with Yucca during their first walk together. I would highly recommend him. He is quick to respond to requests. I will use him again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet. I do not offer boarding services but I am more than happy to visit your pet and make sure they are comfortable, fed and walked if needed. I enjoy interacting with animals and assessing their body language to meet their needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, understanding their needs, personalities, and routines. Since I work from home, I have flexibility and availability during the day to provide attentive care and plenty of affection! I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home, so my daily schedule is really flexible. I am available to stay with your pets during the day, or I can easily come over at any point or multiple times a day to check on them. I am also free most weekend I have three cats of my own, so I can't board pets at my house. However, I am more than happy to stay over at your place or do house sittings! Because I work from home, I am available throughout the day for walks or check ins to keep them on their routine
About: Hi! My name is Amalie & I won’t charge an arm and a leg for additional pets :) I’m the daughter of a parent who owned a pet sitting business since I was 4. Due to this, I spent my formative years around all types of animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, snakes, rats, hamsters, chickens and plenty more! Starting in high school my mom‘s clients began asking if I could care for their animals when my mom wasn’t available, especially for overnights and I absolutely loved it. Additionally, I have experience fostering animals through the rescue we got our fur babes from. This, along with having pets growing up, has provided me with a wealth of experience. I have experience with reactive dogs, training techniques, med administration and more. I continued petsitting in college to earn some extra money, and I can’t let it go because I just love pets too much. It also prevents me from adopting too many pets than I can manage, I already have 3 🫣. Sorry for all the bird parents out there, I won’t care for birds as I am afraid of them. 🙃 I work from home the majority of the time so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the care and attention they need! I work from home 90% of the time so my schedule is very flexible! I may run home once a day to give my dogs a walk while my husband is at work. I am happy to to stay in your home to keep your pets company and give them lots of attention! All I need is the Wi-Fi password to allow me to work. :)
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I would walk my dogs daily, to explore and go to the bathroom. I would also groom them myself. I am also familiar with cats too.

I will be getting gates and crates if needed fur your fur babies. When outside your puppy will me monitored at all times. Safety is #1 for all pups.

“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“Angela provided a great home away from home for our elderly dog. She let us know how Winnie was doing while we were gone. The absolute proof that Winnie felt comfortable was that when we arrived to pick her up, Winnie came to greet us excitedly, then ran back and gave Angela the same greeting.”
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”
“My dog had a wonderful time. LaTasha sent updates, was very communicative and professional during my dogs stay. If we ever need a sitter again and she's and available we will definitely book again.”
“Best experienced ever. Nia was great. So was Phillip. Great folks. They took good care of Lilly. They were very engaged and sent us pics as well as video. There was plenty of room in the yard for our dog to play. I highly recommend them. We will call on them again soon.”
“Gus had a great stay in Detroit with Theresa and Adrian! They were super accommodating, sweet with Gus and very attentive and kept us informed all along. We would use them again in a flash but were only in Detroit for a wedding weekend. They are the best-we highly recommend!!”
“Great experience! Our dog seems like he has a great time. Lindsay was flexible and communicative about pickup and drop off times. No complaints, would recommend, will use Lindsay again if the need arises.”
“Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!”
“Brittnie was great. She communicates all the time and sent plenty of pictures with the updates. I could not have been happier with her service and I highly recommend her.”
“Jill took such good care of my dog on his visit to her home. We had contacted her a couple of days prior to her watching him and she was really responsive, accommodating and attentive to him while he was injured in a cone and administered his meds and provided extra care. We will definitely be coming back to Jill! Thanks so much!”
“Excellent experience with Jessica. My dog, Mila, was with her for an extended time (10 days!) and she was as happy as can be when I picked her up. Jessica sent pictures and updates throughout the duration of the visit. Professional and friendly. We will be returning to Jessica for services in the future.”
“Rachael is caring, communicative, and took care of my Tribbles really well. Tribbles needed some last minute medication and Rachael was kind enough to administer it in our absence. She sends pictures and videos so you know your baby is well taken care of. Considering we had her boarded for a week, and that too Christmas week, I am extremely grateful to Rachael and would highly recommend her services!”
“Could not have asked for better care of my dog. 🐶 He’s a nervous Nelly and they made Leo feel right at home. They kept me up to date with photos and updates about how he was doing. 😊”
“Emily watched Ariel for us in her home for 3 nights/4 days. Ariel had such a great time! We loved the photo updates. Emily just seems like a genuine, good person. Emily also has a dog, and they were two peas in a pod! She even gifted her bone to take home. :) We will definitely use her services again!”
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”
