“Mackenzie did a wonderful job looking after our cats! She was very detailed and specific in how she cared for our pets, which made me feel like my cats were truly in great hands. She provided detailed notes after every days visit, and lots of cat pictures. Overall, it was a great experience having Mackenzie pet sit for us. She is a true professional! Thanks, Mackenzie!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha! She took such great care of our three dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent. They gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and would absolutely love to have her watch them again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Shelby took wonderful care of our 2 cats, and provided us with a sense of ease while on vacation. This was our first time booking Shelby, and she happily met Mango & Baby (and us) prior to her visits, which was greatly appreciated! She responded to my messages immediately, was always on time for her visits, and followed our instructions to a T. Our normally shy kitties were always out for Shelby and looked happy! We are grateful to have met Shelby, highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and will book her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Samantha is wonderful with the dogs. You can see how much she really cares for animals. The photos and updates she sent were fantastic. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Caitlin was great! Checked on my cat for a few days while I was out of town and sent photos and was super communicative through the whole process, I will absolutely use her again when I’m out of town in the future!”
“Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!”
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!”
“Sarah is the best! She’s my go-to for any time I leave town! She’s more than happy to help, super flexible, and genuinely cares about my kitties! Will continue to book with her!!!!!”
“Jen did a wonderful job taking care of Thunder who suffers from speration anxiety, required medication and belly bands to manage his marking issues. Communication was great and flexibility was amazing. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.
