“Kara was great with my cat, Cookie. I felt comfortable going out of town, knowing that she was very responsible and I could count on her to take care of Cookie every day. Thanks Kara !”
“Courtney was the best ! She sent pictures with each visit, with little notes ! I so appreciated these little gestures of love from her . Bubba was well cared for and very happy when I got home from work !! She also brought in my garbage cans ? !! And left us the cutest human cookies with a picture of bubba ( my grand dog) on it ! So sweet ! I would highly recommend her ! And will use her again !”
“Shelby was great! Took awesome care of our girl and went above and beyond ensuring cleanliness and safety during the drop in. Good communication as well. Hope to have her back again soon!”
“Jo came to my rescue when last sitter needed to cancel for unforeseeable event. She agreed to a late meet and greet before the starting day. She was so patient with me explaining care detail of a new puppy. She stays longer every time, even helps me train my puppy. There is always very detailed feedback after each session, also gave me a in person evaluation session after a week of caring for my new puppy. I highly recommend Jo to pet parents with busy schedule or need help with your furry baby.”
About: A college student looking to use my love for animals to help others. 4+ years of animal care, 2 years volunteering at Humane Society of Macomb, and a go-to for watching family pets. Flexible, caring, and detail-oriented. In my hands, your furry friend is guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I have class from 10-11:45 Mon-Wens and 2-3:25pm Tues-Thurs. And typically work retail Mon, wens, sat, sun. I always have Fridays off. And I’m completely free before class or in between work. My schedule is put out weeks in advance so I’m able to communicate what hours I’m available and not. I don’t offer at-home boarding since I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll tidy up after myself, stick to their routine, and make sure they’re having fun whilst still maintaining a happy, and safe, environment.

“Zoe did an excellent job with her drop in visit that included walking and playing with my pup while I was at work. Would highly recommend Zoe for taking care of your pup when you are away. Thank you so much again. Awesome job!”
“Lindsay was great to with! She made sure all of the weirdness of our three ladies was catered to. We were especially nervous about the skittish one and the one we’ve only had for two months but Lindsay eased our minds with updates and pictures. Thank you so much Lindsay for taking care of the ladies!”
“Many thanks for taking such great care of my cats. It is obvious from the photos & comments that you completely won their hearts! I don't worry about them at all when I'm gone knowing they have someone so competent to care for them.”
