“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 easy to work with. I was afraid my cat Demetri would hide on her first visit but he didn’t! She sent me pictures and reports each day. I knew he was happy. This was my first time with Rover. I will use them again. Courtney will give lots of care to your pet(s) while you are away.”

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.

“Samatha was fantastic!! Stayed way longer than she had to since my boy was enjoying outside. I will be booking again! She even came over quickly for our meet and greet because I was on a tight schedule. I knew my cats and I were a priority to her. Thank you so much for all the pictures too! I will be recommending you to everyone in my subdivision!”

“Karen is so wonderful with Bailey! She was very thorough during our meet-and-greet, and made note of everything. I would recommend Karen to any fur baby parents looking for reliable care when you are away.”

Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!
