Personalized care for your dog or cat - Port Huron
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Port Huron
“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”
“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”
“Maria always watches my cat Grayson and does an excellent job caring for him while i’m away! She makes sure his litter is clean and he is fed and that he is happy and comfortable and always sends pictures and videos!!”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“Melissa and her dog, Willow, provided great care and company for Milo when he went there for a sleepover. She was more than happy for us to go for a visit before the sleepover and I could tell right away that Milo would be comfortable and happy. When we went back, he knew where we were and was excited to see them again. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
About: I’ve been in love with cats for as long as I can remember, there has always been room for a cat in my home, I grew up with three cats. I have personal experience of taking care of my cats since I was ten years old. I’ll be happy to meet some new kitty friends. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to visit your kitty whenever suits their schedule. I usually have weekends free, and during the weekdays, I’m free after 2 pm. I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet kitty! I have a good space in my apartment. Unfortunately, I don’t have my kitty here, so that I can focus all my time and affection on your kitty.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have always had a special love for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need extra patience and calm. I’m known for being responsible, attentive, and caring. I always follow each family’s routines, provide enjoyable walks, and make sure every pet feels safe and happy, just like at home. My priority is to create an environment of trust, love, and well-being. I strive to make every dog enjoy their time with me and keep open communication with owners, so they can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s needs, giving them quality time, walks, play, and personalized attention. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—they bring me peace and happiness. I always strive to create a calm and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care. The safety and comfort of every pet are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or at the owner’s home, I make sure they are in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and keep their day as normal as possible. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding schedules, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure their well being. My goal is to create a peaceful and loving atmosphere where every pet feels cared for, respected, and happy while their owners are away.
“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Most of the time more than one. I started looking into doing this on my own after I had such a hard time finding a place for my own babies when I went on vacation. There is a huge backyard for them to play. And plenty of space for them to sleep at night. There are plenty of doggy beds, but if you prefer to bring your babies bed/bedroom feel free to do so. I work from a home office. During the day, I take breaks and go outside with them for a bit. Other than that, they will have open access to a back yard to play all day long. Or if you or they prefer, we could keep them inside. I would providing the necessary potty breaks several times per day when I take a break. I'm very protective of all of them. As animals in my care, they are my responsibility to make sure they're kept safe. I take it very seriously.
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Cats have been just as much of a staple in my life as dogs have, and I’ve had and taken care of lots of cats throughout my years. I’ve had 3 of my own for the last 6 years - my youngest I’ve had for 6 but the other two for about 10 and 9 respectively - and I love them with my whole heart. I’ve had to introduce many a cat to another and I know to give them ample time and space to acclimate to one another. My babies are all spoiled rotten and don’t want for anything, and I’ll treat anyone’s cat with the same amount of care.
“Liz was great with our 2 cats! She did drop-in visits to ensure they were taken care of and had daily attention; she also contacted us throughout our absence and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”

“I'm very grateful for Angie and her husband. I was a last minute booking the night before amd Angie was very quick to respond to me, a first time Rover user. I was totally unsure of my timing, if it would have to be extended and then after all that I ended up picking my girl up very early. Angie and her husband were very considerate of my needs all along, Bella had a good time, amd I was given updates and pictures. I absolutely recommend Angie, and I will be contacting her again when the need arises. Thank you Angie and family for being so loving to my best girl!”
“We have great things to say about Anushka. She was accepted our appointment request immediately and she was very attentive to our arrival. After a brief discussion she took the lead and we could see right away that Cypress was relaxed with her. While Cypress was only with her for a few hours, based on the pictures she sent and the report she provided, Anushka was clearly in tune with our dog’s needs and Cypress was a happy dog when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Anushka in the future.”
“Jemily and her mom took such amazing care of my dog, Marta. They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Marta was very well cared for, and I could tell she had a great time with them. I’m so grateful for how sweet and welcoming they were. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pet.”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with Echo! From the moment we arrived, Echo felt instantly comfortable and at home with her. She had such a great time that when I came to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave! Her communication was amazing, she sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day. Maria was so kind and accommodating to my requests, which made everything so much easier, especially since this daycare day was meant to ease Echo into staying longer during my upcoming trip. I feel completely at peace knowing Echo will be in such caring and capable hands. I couldn’t recommend Maria more, she’s truly amazing!”
“I couldn't be more thrilled with my dog's second visit to Jesse's place. The care and attention provided was exceptional, making both my dog and me feel at ease. I am genuinely grateful for the outstanding service and look forward to many more visits. Thank you for being the best!”
“Alyssa was extremely quick and flexible to accommodate my dog at the last minute. I can see how well my dog was looked after by how happy and tired he was. I would definitely recommend Alyssa for your pet's care.”
About: I’ve raised my 2 dogs from puppies. I care for them just like my own children. Since my kid and fur babies are young I’m always active. We enjoy going in walks and playing fetch! I was tired of feeding them kibble so I make them homemade dog food! I work part time, so I’m always with my pups in the morning everyday. They get all my attention. We go for walks at least twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening and we go potty every 2-3 hours I definitely try to follow routine in my house and in a clients house. So our pups become family with what to do and not do. I temporarily have an unfenced backyard but our pups are not able to run off anywhere. I never leave my dogs outside unattended

I used to have two dogs of my own in addition to my three cats, one of which was a Shiba Inu - so I’m used to and can handle dogs that can be reactive or territorial. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and I love to spoil and care for them. You can be sure I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give to my own. I currently have a business I’m starting up so I’m only working part time, as such my availability is varied but generally open. I prefer to sit at others’ homes but would be available to board throughout the week - I have a couple obligations Monday, Wednesday and Friday so just message me and we’ll see what we can work out. As I have three cats any boarding at my home would require the pet to be vetted and to verify they are cat friendly and non-aggressive. For in-home sitting I can provide a walk, feedings and general play and care including letting the dogs out to potty. At my own place I do not have a fully enclosed yard, but I can still take out dogs on-leash, and would provide all the same in-home care as I would sitting. I do have a gate for the kitchen if they needed to be kept separate from the cats. As I rent the dogs must be potty trained, though I understand pee accidents due to excitement and such can happen. In general I offer a safe and friendly environment for your pets regardless of whether I’m in your home or my own, as every animal deserves to be treated with love and care.

I am able to tend to the pets at all times. So if you have an animal with high needs I can be there for them! I have several walking distance parks and trails. I do not have my own yard but I am able to take the pets for walks. I also have pets of my own that get along with other animals, so if your pet loves hanging out with other animals then my place is for you!

I also have a two year old poodle named Tony. he LOVES to play with other dogs. We go to the Fort Gratiot dog park often! My family growing up raised golden retriever puppies, so I am comfortable with all energy levels!

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup. My dog, Josie, has bad skin allergies and terrible anxiety. She hates to see me leave, some times not even getting a drink or eating until I am back. I know it can be so hard to leave a pet, especially when you know they miss you so much, but I hope I can be the easement for both your baby and you that they will be safe and okay! I would love to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe with me and take care of them just the way they need.

I am also a waitress, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work around your needs. :) I will ensure to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. My dog personally has dealt with anxiety her whole life, especially separation anxiety, so I know it can be difficult to leave a pet with a new person. I can and will follow any instructions as that you give me or leave out for me to follow. I want to make the process as easy as I can for you. I can send updates all throughout the day with pictures, messages, or even a call. I want to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and feel at ease when I come to help! Whether your baby just needs someone to let them out and play or a long tiring walk, I am here to help! :)
About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 2 big dogs and 6 cats at my home. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and sometimes I come over just to see their fur babies. I love going on walks with dogs but also snuggling up on the couch with my babies. I currently have a 8am-4pm job but it’s with family so they are very flexible if I need to leave and come back during the day. I’m currently enrolled in college online perusing a degree in marketing as well. I’m a very gentle person and I have a lot of respect for animals space. I don’t like to rush or make them feel threatened by me. I often however, hit it off very well with pets and love to play with them! I have tons of acres at my home so my dogs like to run free or on a leash if needed.
About: Other than my own dogs (2 huskies and a Rottweiler/Shepard mix) I have cared for several dogs and cats for years. I have done drop in walks for two dogs and overnight cat sitting. I also worked at a dog kennel when I was a teenager, though that was many moons ago I know your pet will get the very best care on my watch! I had a cleaning company before Covid but have always been in love with dogs and cats. I have two older children who don’t need me as much and can’t wait to start this journey into pet care. I am available Mon, Tues, We’d, Friday and every other Thursday all day for your pet care needs. Having 2 huskies I know the importance of making sure your pet is secure whether that’s in your yard or on a walk. Also making sure there’s nothing left out for them to get into when I leave your home!

“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“Melissa and her dog, Willow, provided great care and company for Milo when he went there for a sleepover. She was more than happy for us to go for a visit before the sleepover and I could tell right away that Milo would be comfortable and happy. When we went back, he knew where we were and was excited to see them again. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Most of the time more than one. I started looking into doing this on my own after I had such a hard time finding a place for my own babies when I went on vacation. There is a huge backyard for them to play. And plenty of space for them to sleep at night. There are plenty of doggy beds, but if you prefer to bring your babies bed/bedroom feel free to do so. I work from a home office. During the day, I take breaks and go outside with them for a bit. Other than that, they will have open access to a back yard to play all day long. Or if you or they prefer, we could keep them inside. I would providing the necessary potty breaks several times per day when I take a break. I'm very protective of all of them. As animals in my care, they are my responsibility to make sure they're kept safe. I take it very seriously.
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
“Bailey is AMAZING!!!! My son and I went on vacation, it was my first time ever going without my pups, and I was so nervous. Bailey set up a meet and greet so we could meet her before. Then while we were gone she sent me messages letting me know how they were doing and pics! It helped me so much to enjoy my time away! She definitely went above and beyond caring for my pups and myself! I would recommend to to everyone!”

About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 6 years, caring for dogs and cats. And I’ve been fostering for 6 years as well. I’ve had a love for animals since before I can remember. They are my passion. I care for every single one of them as my own I’m a stay at home mom. I don’t have a lot planned right now other than some up north trips and a wedding to plan. Our house can be chaos with all the animals and 2 kids. But everyone is loved and played with. We can go for walks as our neighborhood is not as busy.

“Molly does an EXCEPTIONAL job with our home and pets every time. She follows our routine and keeps everything in order while we are away and can relax and trust everything is well cared for.
