“We would definitely recommend Steven for his pet sitting services. He watched our two kittens for a week that needed a little extra care. He sent pictures and videos frequently so we wouldn’t miss the babies too much. Steven has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals and we would absolutely book with him again. Thank you!”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”
“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.”

“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!! 😍😇🥰”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”

“Veronica did a wonderful job taking care of my dog-Rosie! Our meet and greet was friendly, welcoming, and personable. Veronica is very knowledgeable with dogs and asked all the right questions. She definitely made sure that I was comfortable with her care before I dropped off my fur baby! Her communication was outstanding as well. Everyday I was given updates with photos and videos along with Rosie’s daily progress. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. I will be rebooking Veronica when I need someone in the future. Thank you again!”

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.
About: I’ve always loved cats. Despite being allergic to them as a kid I was always drawn to them until my immune system eventually learned to adapt! I have met many different cats with all kinds of different personalities and I’m able to meet them where they are and give them the amount and type of attention they need. I’m familiar with cat body language and am able to assess their mood and adjust accordingly. If your cat is friendly I will give them all the love they want. If they’re rambunctious I’m not afraid of a rowdy cat! If they’re standoffish I will be slow and patient with them and won’t push their boundaries(unless necessary for their safety)
“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
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.
“Phoenix has watched our pets for multiple sits and we are always satisfied with her care and professionalism. She goes above and beyond and you can relax knowing your animals are in good hands”
“Nicole stayed at our house with our cats for a week and did a great job following the instructions. My cats have quite the extension routine and needs and she took all the request in with no judgement. One of my cats requires oral medication every day and she took care of that as well. I was able to feel comfortable knowing that my cats were in great hands. She sent me little updates every day as well, communication was solid. When we got home, she left the house extremely clean for us, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Ana did a good job with my kitties, but provided few photos and on two of the four visits did not provide a written visit summary. I’m a very anxious cat mom, especially with my 23-year old kitty, so I would have appreciated more detailed visit summaries and photos.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, my family always had multiple rescue dogs and I absolutely loved helping to care for them. Over the last 5 years I have gotten involved in animal rescue and fostering. I’ve fostered over 10 dogs and successfully found them their forever homes (except my foster fail, Betty 😜) I currently volunteer at DACC as much as I can, and absolutely love being able to help get the dogs some fresh air and play time. I would love the chance to get to know you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind that they are in good hands while you are away! I recently got laid off from my job, the restaurant that I managed for 8 years suddenly shut down, so right now I have plenty of time to focus on what I love- caring for dogs and cats! I’m happy to follow your dogs typical routine- whether they are crate trained or get free roam of the home. Whatever makes you and your pets feel safe, I am more than happy to accommodate!

“Rachel is amazing. She took great care of my Hobey who is a goldendoodle. I knew upon meeting her that she took this would be a great experience for Hobey. She provided videos throughout the day that showed Hobey playing with other dogs, doing tasks that would merit him a treat, and relaxing after some playtime in the backyard. It was nice to see the vids and to see him have a good time. I took him there 3 days in a row and each time he would get excited as we pulled up to her house which made me feel good. I could tell he had an active day when I picked him up cause we would get home and I would feed him and he would sleep for the rest of the night. I was only in Michigan for a week but I will be back to visit family and I will always use Rachel.”

About: I’ve been taking care of family, friends and foster pets since i was in my freshman year of University, I’m a very reliable person ! I’m working freelance ! My hours are very flexible so i have a bunch of free time to take care and train your lovely pets ! I live in an apartment but with all of the free time i have, going to the park or spending time indoors is no problem !
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.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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: It took almost 20 years, but I finally made my Nintendogs dreams come true when I got my own little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I've been a proud dog owner for over 5 years and have provided petsitting services for neighbors, friends and family for a few years. Thanks to my obsession with my own dog, I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, from potty training and obedience training to teaching basic commands and leash training. My girl loves tricks for treats. I owned a children's toy brand and now work from home full time as a Director of Creative Strategy where I get to spend all day with my pet and yours. I take my Cavalier Sol on multiple walks through out the day in my neighborhood which has beautiful tree lined streets and a huge park for running and rolling in grass. I prefer working with moderate energy dogs, but I'm also open to watching puppies and senior dogs. I want to make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable which has led to me rescuing strays a few times. Your fur baby will be just as loved as mine. Even more so because they will be missed. If you're looking for a dedicated and reliable pet sitter, I’d love to meet your four legged love. I currently work from home which has allowed me to be available for my own pet and others. I do morning, afternoon and evening walks. We have outdoor play sessions and I provide enrichment toys and treats to keep them stimulate. I live in a private building within walking distance to a park. My apartment is spacious but I can see every inch of it so no one is ever out of sight. I am able to provide proof of my dogs up to date vaccination. I require pet parents share proof of up to date vaccinations.
“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”
“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: 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.

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.
“Mary is great with my pitty!! She always did what I needed done and found the time to squeeze him in even in busy days! She does have a bad ankle so due to that we had to switch over so if u have a bigger stronger dog who pulls or is reactive, may be best to find someone else. But otherwise she did the job and walked him even with that ankle :)! She helped us find other options as well and always had tips to help when issues were brought up. She seems to really care about the animals and what they need.”
“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.”

With over 10 years of experience as a dog walker, I know how vital trust, routine, and a secure space are for every pup.

I ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and excited for every visit, so both you and your pup can have complete peace of mind.

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!
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: Caring for pets has been my main job for about 8 years now. I’ve always had an immense love for dogs and other animals and make sure to care for each one the same way I would for my own. I like to stay active and love playing outside or especially walks. I will go as fast or slow as your dog wants! I also of course love to just chill and give pets. Ive gotten to know and understand many animals with different personalities and will adjust to your pets specific needs! My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate your pets needs! I’m available at different times of the day so whether your pet needs a walk while you’re at work or a sitter for the week I am able to help out! I take sitting very seriously as it’s a big responsibility to care for your pet and home. I will always be sure to put the time aside needed to keep your pet happy and healthy and will be communicative if any issue arises. I will leave your house as clean as I found it and perform basic upkeep like light cleaning, gathering mail and taking out trash. I will also do more such as watering plants if you let me know! I am able to

“We would definitely recommend Steven for his pet sitting services. He watched our two kittens for a week that needed a little extra care. He sent pictures and videos frequently so we wouldn’t miss the babies too much. Steven has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals and we would absolutely book with him again. Thank you!”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Our dog had a great time at Queeny’s house. She periodically sent us pictures and responded promptly. Our dog enjoyed playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you Angela! She took wonderful care of our dog, Budd. Helped manage his anxiety during thunderstorms, kept us up to date on how he was adjusting, and send sweet photos!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”

“All I can say is Rahied is AMAZING!! My 18yr old blind and deaf baby Coco and are beyond blessed to have found him🙏🏾 He was so attentive, sent updates with pictures daily! Caring for a senior dog is very challenging and exhausting but Rahied made this stay so pleasant for my baby. Feed her by hand, let her drink from her bowl by hand, held her when she cried, administered her medication and so much more😫 I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with him, my spirit told me HE was the one & my spirit does NOT LIE! Forever grateful🤞🏾 If you desire compassion, attentive & extra love while being in the care of a sitter, please don't hesitate to book Rahied Hi🫶🏾 If my baby live another season, Rahied is our choice! Thank you again❤️”
“Boarded my pup at Racheals for 4 days and she kept me posted every day about him. They’re very hospitable and my dog seemed extremely happy when I came to pick him up at the end of his stay. Can’t thank Rachael and her boyfriend enough for taking care of my puppy, I would recommend them a 100% of the time and would board my dog with them again.”
“Eriann did such a nice job watching Ruby! She took her dog George and Ruby to the dog park and send us photos and a video of Ruby playing and having a great time! Ruby can't wait for the next time she gets to go and hang out with Eriann and George! Thanks Eriann for doing such a great job and for just being you!”
