“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Pattie is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of Tuggy and kept us reassured with regular updates and pictures. Tuggy had a fantastic vacation at her house and loved making a new friend. He came home so happy—I highly recommend Pattie!”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“Beverly took wonderful care of my Frenchie. She was quick to make Cookie feel right at home. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. There is always some anxiety when having someone care for your pet, but I knew within an hour my Cookie was in the right place. I would recommend Beverly to anyone who needs pet care and sitting services. So much better than a kennel. Your dog will be loved and will gets lots and lots of attention and love all day and all night.”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Amanda is the BEST!!!!! I was very worried about leaving my puppy for the first time ever. Wasn’t sure if I could trust anyone with him while I was out of the country. Amanda put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My puppy loved her at first site and she loved him. It put my mind at ease. I must say he was just as happy when I left him as when I picked him up. I think Amanda is his new best friend!!! Thank you Amanda for the special care and security you gave Zane!!!! You truly have a soft spot for pets! Amanda is top notch!!!!!”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“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 the first time using a sitter, and Kerri eased my concerns from the minute we met. She truly loves being a sitter, it shows in the care the dogs are given. I received videos of Jake playing in the yard each day 💕💕 I would recommend Kerri to anyone that is looking for a sitter and will use her again in the future.”
“I love her. First time leaving my Stormi but i was comfortable that she was in good hands. Always want someone that my pup would relax with. She was really calm when I picked her up. I will book with Jalyn again.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. I’m a retired professional petsitter/dog walker of 10+ years and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m comfortable giving oral medications, insulin shots, and catering to special dietary needs. I’ve been working from home recently and would love to have some dog friends to keep me company. I own my home and have a HUGE fenced in yard that is great for fetch, and dog friends are welcome on the furniture. Dogs that love to go for walks are a plus because honestly, I feel weird going for walks without one lol. Dogs must be cat friendly! I’m a homebody by nature and rarely am away from home for more than a couple of hours, if I do go out I typically will separate my cats and my dog friends as an additional safety precaution. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s a typical part of their routine. I’m unable to accommodate dogs from multiple households.
“Wow! Lovely family, took excellent care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. Communicated promptly. We had an issue with a delayed flight and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Could not have asked for a better experience. So thankful for this family, we know Max enjoyed his time and was well cared for. Would definitely use Yvonne to care for our pet again in the future.”

“Chelsea was a great choice for watching over my cat while I was out of town. Chelsea kept frequent contact and assured me throughout the process that my Angel was doing well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Shylah was amazing with my two cats when I was gone for the week. My orange cat is difficult with taking his medicine and Shylah was kind and persistent in making sure he stayed healthy. She even cleaned up some care vomit which I didn’t expect at all but was very much appreciated. Would book again and recommend her services!”
About: I've loved cats ever since I was a little kid. They're so much fun and have such big personalities! I've cleaned litter boxes my whole life, administer medication for my own cat, and have raised two long haired fur babies.
“Kelly took amazing care of my cat when I was out of town. She sent regular updates which made me feel more at ease for leaving my cat behind. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you again!!!”
“Anna was great. Very nice. Texted me daily to let me know everything was okay and kitties were well. I didn't want to board them but was hesitant to have someone I didn't know in my home. Anna has resolved that worry. I have trust in Anna and will always use her going forward.”
“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”
“Madison is a great sitter! She made sure to come over and meet Gizmo beforehand and to get to know him. From the pictures that she sent, it was obvious that Gizmo was very comfortable with her & enjoyed having her company during the designated drop ins! Also, I love it that she lives nearby so the security of having a sitter nearby in case something happens while I'm away is also great. Will definitely be booking Madison in the future :)”
“Jessica was very accommodating when our times changed. She took great care with our two dogs and the both loved her. We will definitely use her services again and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have had pet cats since I was 6 years old, and currently live with 2! I love meeting the unique personalities of cats and adapting as needed. If they want to play and love attention, I have plenty to give. If they just want to chill out and lay around, sounds good to me! It's their world, I'm just (happily) living in it.
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Arianna demonstrated an excellent attention to detail in care of the cats. She went above and beyond outlined duties. Always kept to schedule. She is an excellent cat sitter and I look forward to using her services again. 5 stars!”

About: No such thing as a dog too big! Growing up with several dogs in my family home, I truly view them as a part of our families. With a belief in positive reinforcement and redirection, your dog will have a fun, stress-free time; making our home their home for the duration of their stay. Having gone through the puppy stage several times, including within the past year, I can assure you our patience is tried and tested, and that I carry an attitude in which it is imperative to maintain respect for the individual temperament of each dog. Some breeds I have experience with include: pitbulls, labs, dobermans, cane corsos, boxers, and mastiffs. I have trained my dogs in basic obedience, all with varying degrees of energy level, stubbornness, and intelligence 🙃. While size does not matter, all dogs who enter our home must be child and dog friendly. **To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone involved, meet and greets are mandatory without exception before boarding or daycare. This can take place at a dog-friendly park, or our backyard if you would like to see our home.** *Smoke and alcohol free home *Large fenced backyard *Almost always home I am a full time stay at home mom to a 3.5 year old as well as 1 year old male (neutered) dog. We do not leave him home alone for more than three hours, so your dog would have human companionship and access to the outdoors at almost all times! Our dog is no longer using one, so we have a large crate that your dog is welcome to use if that is what they are accustomed to or have any destructive tendencies when left alone. Our dog gets lot's of love and exercise. We make sure he practices good manners with daily basic training and keep him happy with enrichment activities, walks, and plenty of scratches. We never leave him outside unattended and he is ALWAYS leashed if outside of the backyard fence. I have had three dogs as an adult, and none have ever escaped.
About: I’m the perfect sitter for your furry baby! I’ve dog/cat sat for many friends and family members. I have many years of experience with pet sitting. I love all dogs and cats! I would treat yours as if they were my own :) I promise you won’t regret it! I am looking for a side job for extra cash for the holidays. I am free to watch your pet Wednesday through Sunday. But if needed, i can find a way to pet sit Monday and Tuesday. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in. A large dog kennel if needed. Plenty of dog toys and bedding. I am also more than happy to stay at a clients house if that is what’s preferred:)

“Emily and her team did an excellent job caring for my dog and me. I needed an emergency doggy daycare option in the Downriver Detroit area to help me while I cared for a sick family member. My dog is older and takes some help to get used to new surroundings. Emily made the arrangements very easy to navigate, answered all of my questions and concerns thoroughly and professionally, and made my dog feel so much at home that he thought she was part of his family by the end of the day. I strongly recommend Emily for those needing doggy daycare services Downriver.”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”

About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

I am detail-oriented and can take on any care plan with ease. I also value respecting not just the animal(s), but the home and environment that they live in. Trust all around is my top priority!

About: From the time I was a young I have loved animals, small to large. I have had experience with caring for Guinea pigs while I was young and my journey with dogs began then as well. I have cared for many of my own dogs from dachshunds to German Shepherds Dogs all my life. I have bred and shown dachshunds and have enjoyed having dogs all my types in my life. In addition I have had a couple of Angora Rabbits, gerbils, several chinchillas and birds. Right now I have two dogs that fill my life with happiness. I have dog sat for several of my friends dogs while they were away for as long as four months. In addition to dogs I have cared for my grandcats when my son has gone on vacation and lived with another grandcat for a while. I have a lot of experience giving medications, even shots, to my pets and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs. My years of experience will allow me to give your pet the care they need and deserve. I am retired and have extra time for morning to afternoon to evening visits. I will work with the time schedule your pets need to be comfortable while you are gone. Your pets comfort is my main goal. Visits with walks, feeding, treats, play and poo disposal to keep your pet comfortable and engaged while you are away. Visits for your cats on a schedule you prefer with play, feeding and cat box cleaning. Small animals and birds will also be cared for as well as you require.
About: I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my years including fosters, seniors, puppies and newborns. I have experience administering medications and aiding in mobility for the seniors. I have a one year old german shepherd mix. I have been with and handled lots of different breeds and energy levels. Pet care is everything to me and I’m looking to open that up from just my pup. I am available most of the time except Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, outdoor and indoor beds, extra leases, lick mats, separate feeding stations, as well as a crate if needed.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 6 years and have been around them my whole life. I have pet sat for families before. I am able to give meals, baths, walks, treats, and many cuddles. I am a fast communicator and can send pictures/updates! If needed, I can give medications as well. I am a college student and commute from home. I am available throughout the week and am flexible. I am able to discuss your schedule needs depending on the service. When house sitting, I can do house sitting chores if needed. I am excited to meet your pets! Please feel free to message me with any questions.
About: I am a Certified Dog Handler through Therapy Dog International. I have over 10 plus years of experience and love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. I helped train our family dog to be a Therapy Dog, where he can go into hospitals and bring lots of joy and love to patients. I would love to do a Meet and Greet beforehand. I currently have a 5 year old Goldendoodle that loves having playtime with other pups! Anytime your pup needs a little break, I'm only a message away! Please message me ASAP because spots are filling up fast! I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I also have a little puppy pool and doggy sprinklers for any dogs that want to cool off from the heat! Among the many, many toys that I have for dogs to play with, I have dog beds, blankets, and cooling mats to fit your dog’s needs and preferences. I also have brushes, combs and undercoat rakes to help keep your pup looking fresh from the groomer.
“I've booked Kathy several times. She has walked my Bailey while I was gone for the day. She is very reliable and I trust her completely. Bailey was a rescue and Kathy's visits have helped Bailey warm up to new people.”

“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Amanda is the BEST!!!!! I was very worried about leaving my puppy for the first time ever. Wasn’t sure if I could trust anyone with him while I was out of the country. Amanda put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My puppy loved her at first site and she loved him. It put my mind at ease. I must say he was just as happy when I left him as when I picked him up. I think Amanda is his new best friend!!! Thank you Amanda for the special care and security you gave Zane!!!! You truly have a soft spot for pets! Amanda is top notch!!!!!”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“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!!”
“I love her. First time leaving my Stormi but i was comfortable that she was in good hands. Always want someone that my pup would relax with. She was really calm when I picked her up. I will book with Jalyn again.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. I’m a retired professional petsitter/dog walker of 10+ years and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m comfortable giving oral medications, insulin shots, and catering to special dietary needs. I’ve been working from home recently and would love to have some dog friends to keep me company. I own my home and have a HUGE fenced in yard that is great for fetch, and dog friends are welcome on the furniture. Dogs that love to go for walks are a plus because honestly, I feel weird going for walks without one lol. Dogs must be cat friendly! I’m a homebody by nature and rarely am away from home for more than a couple of hours, if I do go out I typically will separate my cats and my dog friends as an additional safety precaution. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s a typical part of their routine. I’m unable to accommodate dogs from multiple households.
“Wow! Lovely family, took excellent care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. Communicated promptly. We had an issue with a delayed flight and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Could not have asked for a better experience. So thankful for this family, we know Max enjoyed his time and was well cared for. Would definitely use Yvonne to care for our pet again in the future.”
“Leslie was professional and personable.She truly cared about our dog and made her feel at ease. Great updates and communication put us at ease. She also allowed for an evening pickup which was super accommodating. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”
“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”
“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
