“I recently boarded Oreo with Laura, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the level of care they provided. From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt reassured by the frequent updates they sent me. It was evident that they treated my dog as if she were their own, going above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. Her genuine love for animals truly shone through, and it was so heartwarming to know that my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their beloved pet.”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
“Ilona and her boys took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is a bit of a challenging guest but they were patient with him, helped figure out how to get him to eat when he wasn't eating well, and sent me lots of updates. I felt that he was in very good hands.”
“Bailey loved his stay with Valentina. He has a new friend, her dog Oliver. She is very attentive with daily walks and play at the dog park. Appreciated the pics and communication throughout his stay. I highly recommend Valentina as a awesome Dogsitter!”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”

The communication throughout the stay was once again fantastic, so many pictures and quick notes on how the days were going. Definitely our go to place for Rogue❤️”
“We were very pleased with Katie. She took great care of our dog. She gave us frequent updates about how he was doing and sent pictures. She was very flexible when we got back later than expected. She had a great response time when we contacted her to set up an appointment. We definitely will use her again if we need a dog sitter.”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“Another great stay at Cynthia’s! Our three dogs are a lot! Not only are they loud and rambunctious, but one of them has special health needs that require extra attention. Cynthia always goes above and beyond to make sure they are properly cared for and gives them so much love and affection! They are always happy to see her and she makes her home so comfortable for them. They feel like it’s their own! She has been our go-to sitter for the last 2-3 years and so lucky to have found her!”
“Danielle and Steve (and Porthos) have become my dachshund Maverick’s best friends. They are excellent pet caregivers and they are accommodating and flexible in their availability. I highly recommend them.”
“Vinata and her family have done an incredible job taking care of our pup for a week while we were vacationing. They created a very loving and fun filled environment for our little guy. They regularly posted pictures and videos of our pup which made us feel very secure about his well-being. Made it so much easier for us to be apart from him for the very first time. Thanks you so much guys. You were awesome!!”

“Gabrielle is a 10/10! She is so easy to work with and did a great job with my two cats when I was away for a few days. I felt very comfortable leaving her with the cats and she did everything and more for them. Her communication is also very reliable and responded very quickly. Would highly recommend her!”
“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”

About: I’ve always had a variety of pets including 4 cats and 5 dogs throughout my lifetime and understand the needs of each from puppy’s and kittens to senior dogs and cats. In addition I have experience in home care and drop in visits for family and friends dogs and cats throughout my life giving me insight on how to best care for animals with vastly different personalities. After my regular job ends at 3:30 I will typically have availability after 4pm to around 10pm every day with few exceptions for personal appointments and family events. During a typical visit, after taking care of basic needs like food, water, and bathroom breaks, I focus on exercise and socialization to ensure your pet is happy and tired before the visit is completed.
“Shelby is very kind and I’m very confident and glad my cats are well cared for when I’m gone. I will book Shelby as often as I can. She’s already part of the family!”

“This is our 2nd time using Kira! She is fantastic! She made sure that our Benji got lots of playtime! She brought our packages in even a treadmill that was early 😂 would’ve to use Kira anytime!! ❤️”
“Erin is a wonderful cat sitter! I could tell from our introduction visit that Erin knew all about cats, and our cat, Chloe, liked her right away. For our trip, Erin listened carefully to my instructions and followed them exactly. Knowing that Erin was visiting Chloe and looking after her, I had a much more enjoyable trip because I wasn't worrying about our cat while we were away. I will definitely book with Erin for our next trip, and I highly recommend Erin for anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
“We had a sitter that moved away and she recommended Libby. She did an absolutely excellent job, was here when scheduled, and asked questions to verify things. I like that, better than guessing. The house was in great shape when we got home, cats were as happy as cats can be. We will absolutely be booking her again!!”
“Emma was amazing! She was punctual and spent quality time with my cats! She sends amazing pictures of my cats everyday. She is very knowledgeable about my cats and i learned a few things! I look forward to working with Emma again in the future.”
“This is the second time we’ve used this sitter, and won’t be the last! This sitter does such a good job caring for our cat, as well as cleaning and tidying up her space. Also, this sitter does a great job communicating and updating us with pictures. Wr would definitely use this sitter again!”
“Dana did such a fantastic job taking care of my three cats! She is a great listener and she did everything my cats needed and more. She is such a kind person, and you can tell she really loves cats because it shows in how she cares for them. I was really nervous to leave my cats for a week but with Dana taking care of them, I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was gone. She sent me a report card with lots of pictures after every visit, which made me feel so much more at ease on my vacation. She really went above and beyond for my cats and I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for her hard work while I was gone. Dana, you’re the best and I appreciate you so much!”
“Fantastic! Season watched my cat for a week and never failed to give updates. She was so easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anybody looking in the area. Thank you!”
“This was our second time having Lisa check in our guinea pig, Storm, while we were on vacation. Storm was comfortable with her right away, and she shared the cutest photos. Lisa took extra time and care around the house. Would gladly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable pretty care. 😊”
“My name is Mike my dogs name is Shy Which her breed is a Cane Corso . So she’s a large dog and some people are intimidated by her. Shy was not sure about Jo L at first. But within about four or five minutes, Shy had a chance to smell Jo L and then she got hugs from shy lol great first introduction extremely happy with that visit ! If you’re looking for someone with experience and a lot of knowledge as well as caring and patient to help you watch your dog, I would strongly recommend Jo L !”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rochester
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I love dogs all my life and experienced with daily feeding routines, leash walking, potty breaks, and basic supervision. I take dogs on 3–4 leashed walks per day and closely monitor their comfort, behavior, and safety. I am a full time staying home mom so I have plenty of times to take care of your dogs. I want to make a schedule at least 5 days earlier. Calm, clean house with a yard (not fenced). Dogs are always supervised and taken on 3–4 leashed walks daily. I accept small, medium dogs only and host one guest at a time, alongside my friendly Cavapoochon Taco.
“Tory was great!!! Buster had a great experience. Tory sent a lot of photos of Buster playing with other dogs. Would recommend and planning on using her again in the future!!”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. My husband and I have rescued and fostered dogs for years, and we’ve had the joy of caring for many different personalities, sizes, and needs. Our dogs have both passed away within the past year and our house is definitely missing the pitter patter of doggy feet. I’m a stay at home mom, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. The longest they’d ever be alone is 1–2 hours if I run out for groceries or errands. I have two little ones at home, so I’m selective about which dogs I host, choosing only those who are good with both kids. I like to know each dog’s routine so I can keep things consistent for them- feeding times, quirks, favorite toys, or anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. If you’re looking for a home where your pup will be treated like family, I’d love to help. 💙 As a stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day and love having the extra company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime built into my daily routine. Our home is safe, welcoming, and dog-friendly. I’m selective about the dogs I host, ensuring they are good with children. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I ONLY host one family at a time, that means your dog will be the only one in my home at a given time.
“Iris & Tomas helped watch our dog while we attended a pet first aid/CPR class nearby. This was our first time having anyone watch her, so we were a little nervous. They were able to squeeze us in last minute and do a meet and greet. They sent us many photos and played with her and kept her occupied until we could pick her up. We would definitely request them again if needed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life whether it’s my family dogs, volunteering at the pound, or watching friends dogs. My wife and I love dogs, but aren’t ready for our own yet. I am a corporate pilot with a lot of time at home, so I am trying to fill that time with something I love! I am a corporate pilot that averages 10 days worked per month, so I have 2/3s of the month at home. The days worked vary what days of the week, but I am looking to fill my time with something I love. I am very patient with animals. I don’t treat them like a pet. If Im watching them at my apartment, innovation hills park is next to me for walking. There is an enclosed dog park to let them run and even a dog bath station if they get dirty. If I am watching at your home I will be respectful to your home and rules that you provide. I’m an avid walker, so walks aren’t a problem. I would never take a dog on a walk in the summer without bringing water for them.
“Cara was great! Responded quickly to my super last minute request to watch our 5 year old Vizsla. She was very friendly and kept us updated about our baby. We would recommend Cara and would book with her again. Thanks so much.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
About: I've owned four dogs in the past 42 years and also cared for neighbors' and relatives' dogs. I miss our last dog so much, but are not ready to em"bark" on a new puppy journey just yet. I am retired and in great physical shape. You can rest assured your dog will be loved and given lots of attention! I normally go to the gym in the mornings, but it's an open schedule so can be home all day every weekday. If your pet is comfortable alone (if I must go out), there is a crate, blankets, a dog bed, toys etc. The home is two stories and a basement, but there are gates to block stairs if necessary. I live on a court in a quiet neighborhood. Although we do not have fences, your doggie would not be outside without a leash and would be accompanied by me on potty breaks.
About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
“This is our second time with Erin and we will definitely come back every single time she is available. Always quick to reply our messages, she has a great attitude and Vincent loves her and his furry friend Monte. Thanks again for taking care of Vinnie.”
“Our puppy Echo was so well taken care of by Eileen. We appreciated her great communication, willingness to help on short notice, and photos of Echo throughout the day. We would love to have echo stay with Eileen in the future!”
“Carolina was so nice! She was super flexible with me as I was in a rush dropping off my pup. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the evening. I would definitely rebook with her again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I also regularly help care for my neighbor’s dog when needed. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. My community also has a beautiful walking trail and a dog park, which makes it easy to get outside for some exercise and fresh air. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will have lots of company, love, and attention while they’re with me.
“Magnolia was wiped out in the back seat before we got 10 minutes down the road! Exactly what she needs while mom and dad are at work. Brianna also sent pics and videos throughout the day, which was nice.”
About: We are parents to 3 boys (baby, 3, 5 - they all love dogs) and and our 9 year old lab/ hound, Macie. We have a nice sized fenced in yard and Macie would love some fur friends to run around with. We treat our dog like our child! Brad works from home half of the week so there is not too much alone time for the dogs. Macie is able to spend as much time as she like outside during the day (and coming in and out as she pleases). We have a large fenced in yard. Our dog loves to be with other dogs. We allow our dog to sit with us on the couch so she gets lots of pets and snuggles. We have both had dogs our entire lives and are plenty experienced in taking care of them! We hope we can help you out by providing a safe place for your dog to stay. Brad works from home half of the week so he is able to let the dogs in and out as they like throughout the day. However on “in office” days, the dogs would be free to roam the house while we are at work (typically 8am-5pm). We follow the schedules given to us by the owner and always treat our guest dogs as one of our own. Our kids love to play fetch with the dogs and run around with them outside.

“Erin is so good with our Goldendoodle Toby. He’s very energetic, and Erin takes the walks in stride, letting Toby get all that energy out. Would highly recommend Erin for your dog walking needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I would love to make life easier for busy people. I am incredibly reliable, punctual, and experienced with dogs of all sizes. Whether your pup needs an energetic midday walk, a quick backyard potty break, or feeding and fresh water, I treat every pet with the exact same love and attention I give my own! With my kids in school and working part-time, I am available until 1:00 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I can also do Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:00 PM! I have a sweet 9-year-old Boston Terrier who loves other dogs. For outside time, we use a secure tie-out ground leash under direct supervision. I always closely monitor all pets, keep my home completely dog-proofed, and prioritize keeping your pup happy and safe.
“Kira has been so fantastic with Doug, The Cooper, and Moshi. We could not be more pleased. She uses the Rover app to let us know when she arrives, how long Doug is on his walk, his “action” and the photos are priceless. We will continue to use her as long as possible. A+”
About: Hi!😊 I’m a Rochester Hills pet caregiver with 12 years of hands-on experience (off & on Rover combined!) caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities and routines. Prior to finishing my degree at Oakland University and entering the corporate world, I was a full time nanny/pet sitter so caregiving is truly in my DNA and something I truly love and am passionate about! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, attentive and big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to slower-paced senior care, feeding routines, medications and lots of companionship. I also understand that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and cuddles, while others need a little time and space to warm up. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and tailor their care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I offer dog walking, drop-ins and at your house sitting for cats & dogs, as well as 1:1 house sitting in my home for one small-medium dog (40lbs & under) with me doing both pickup and drop off. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions- I look forward to connecting with you!🙂 I was recently laid off and I’m pursuing caregiving full time, so my schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day for walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I can tailor my availability around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime and companionship. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the routines and instructions you provide as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks and any household guidelines. I’m careful with doors, leashes and surroundings, and I pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite or energy. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being well cared for.

About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.
About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)
About: I've taken care of the family cat since I was little. Near the end of her life, I learned to give her subcutaneous fluids. When Booboo passed away, we got another cat and a dog. I helped train Ruby when she was a puppy. I can feed, walk, bathe, give medication, and train dogs and cats. I also have experience being an assistant at a veterinary clinic and taking care of patients and clinic animals. I have also been at school for becoming a vet tech for one semester. I work part-time at Meijer now! It's an overnight stocking job and I do not work the same days/times every week. Usually shifts start at 11 pm and end at 3-6 am. I sometimes do not have a car during the day, so I am not consistently available anymore for daytime help. I do not work Mondays at Meijer. Otherwise, I'm free from 8 am to midnight. Previous customers take priority for requests, as I understand many pet parents like to stick with the same sitter. I have a tie off in my yard and can take your dogs to the Orion Oaks dog park. I have a crate in my car for transportation. Ruby may be able to play with your dog if they get along with each other.
About: I have lots of experience over the last 15 years of pet-sitting in other's homes and boarding family members' pets, as well as going for walks and doing pop-ins Currently changing careers from teaching to real estate, so I have lots of time available over the summer! I can easily to pop-ins and walks while out and about. Whatever you say goes! I am happy to accommodate the needs of your fur babies and will do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're not around
About: I’ve fostered and cared for 100’s of dogs. I own and love a few of my own. I have experience in all breeds, big and small! I work during the week but have time on weekends and some week nights to check in on your pets and take some doggies for some walks. My yard is fully fenced in with a 5ft fence. I live on 3/4 of acre. I foster dogs regularly so there are always different dogs in my home.
About: From anxiety-ridden dogs to rough-playing kittens, I am the person to care for your pet! My approach is to understand your pet's personality, then strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I am a recent college graduate and doing freelance work from home. This gives me so much flexible time to care for your pet, weekday or weekend! I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I treat my clients' homes like my own. I am patient and understanding, making sure every pet I watch feels safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets are missed while the owner's gone, so communicating with you, the pet owner, is a priority.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life! I have worked at a dog kennel facility as well as watch friends, family, and neighbors dogs. I have a 6 year old german shepherd a 15 year old mini schnauzer, 2 cats and a hamster! I have worked with old dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, big, small and everything in between! Can’t wait to meet your pups! :) I currently have a very flexible schedule, you can message me and we can work something out! Im typically available every day except monday and thursday:) I love to go on walks, and cuddle with my animals! I can easily crate dogs if needed, and give oral medications. I love lick mats, and topples for my fur babies with anxiety.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for 5 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, board and bathe their pets. I also used to work at a dog daycare and boarding facility which allowed me to work with all different kinds of dogs and temperaments. Which allowed me the opportunity to have handled dogs of many sizes! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have two dogs of my own that I provide for and take care of on a daily basis. I will care for you’re pet like it is my own, and always go the extra mile to ensure they are treated with the upmost attention and care! Caring for your pet in your home will be the most comfortable and convenient option for you and your pet, that way your pet can keep a regular schedule in his/her own environment.

“I recently boarded Oreo with Laura, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the level of care they provided. From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt reassured by the frequent updates they sent me. It was evident that they treated my dog as if she were their own, going above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. Her genuine love for animals truly shone through, and it was so heartwarming to know that my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their beloved pet.”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
“Lia and Jonathan came through like champs! I only gave them a 1 day notice and they were gracious enough to fit Rogue in for the weekend. The communication throughout the stay was once again fantastic, so many pictures and quick notes on how the days were going. Definitely our go to place for Rogue❤️”
“We were very pleased with Katie. She took great care of our dog. She gave us frequent updates about how he was doing and sent pictures. She was very flexible when we got back later than expected. She had a great response time when we contacted her to set up an appointment. We definitely will use her again if we need a dog sitter.”
“Another great stay at Cynthia’s! Our three dogs are a lot! Not only are they loud and rambunctious, but one of them has special health needs that require extra attention. Cynthia always goes above and beyond to make sure they are properly cared for and gives them so much love and affection! They are always happy to see her and she makes her home so comfortable for them. They feel like it’s their own! She has been our go-to sitter for the last 2-3 years and so lucky to have found her!”
“Vinata and her family have done an incredible job taking care of our pup for a week while we were vacationing. They created a very loving and fun filled environment for our little guy. They regularly posted pictures and videos of our pup which made us feel very secure about his well-being. Made it so much easier for us to be apart from him for the very first time. Thanks you so much guys. You were awesome!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life whether it’s my family dogs, volunteering at the pound, or watching friends dogs. My wife and I love dogs, but aren’t ready for our own yet. I am a corporate pilot with a lot of time at home, so I am trying to fill that time with something I love! I am a corporate pilot that averages 10 days worked per month, so I have 2/3s of the month at home. The days worked vary what days of the week, but I am looking to fill my time with something I love. I am very patient with animals. I don’t treat them like a pet. If Im watching them at my apartment, innovation hills park is next to me for walking. There is an enclosed dog park to let them run and even a dog bath station if they get dirty. If I am watching at your home I will be respectful to your home and rules that you provide. I’m an avid walker, so walks aren’t a problem. I would never take a dog on a walk in the summer without bringing water for them.
About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
“Arrow stayed with Miranda and Erica over his birthday and they went above and beyond to give him an amazing birthday!! they really are the sweetest and will treat your pet like their own”
“Kayla kept our dog Dior while I took my daughter to school. The ease of drop off and pickup made a somewhat stressful time of my life, so much more easier. She communicated with us the entire 4 days. Even when a snag came and I needed Dior to stay a tad bit longer, she was totally onboard and made it happen. I also want to thank her daughter for being attentive to Diors needs as well. While my daughter is away at school, I will DEFINITELY reach out to them for additional services. I would recommend you giving this lovely family a shot!!!! Again, I appreciate you all!!!”
“Our rambunctious and mischievous dog Geordi was well cared-for and it seems like he really enjoyed his stay with Cara and Samuel. Communication was excellent, with good response times, proactive updates, and asking questions when needed. He found a new friend in their dog Rio and it seems like they really got along with each other. No complaints whatsoever - I would definitely be interested in hiring this kind and caring couple for pet sitting again in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Iris and Tomas! From the moment we left, they made us feel completely at ease with daily photo updates and excellent communication. They were reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cared for our dog like their own. Our pup absolutely adored them and came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such great hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Iris and Tomas again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Highly recommend Brittany! She’s been watching our Brodie since he was a pup and he was with her for his 7th birthday! She takes excellent care of him and made is birthday extra special! He gets plenty of play time and is treated like family! Brittany is always giving updates and takes the most awesome pics! Brodie loves it there!”
“Jin and her family were so welcoming and kind with our two cats. It is always so scary to leave your pets with strangers but thanks to Jin and Brian I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if they were in the right hands or not. They gave me many updates and lots of pictures and videos of my cats being loved! Their son was also very kinda and excited to have some new friends in the house and it was very heartwarming. Thank you guys so much:)”
