About: Hello, my name is Audrey! I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician in the state of Michigan. I’ve had over 15 years of experience with dogs, and over 5 years of professional veterinary care. I think it’s important to know that the person looking after your pet, is trained to know what to look out for! I am looking to provide some one on one care with pets, so you can have that peace of mind your baby is being taken care for. I can administer medications, both oral and injectable. I can also just provide some TLC when needed. Let me know if you have questions! I am available after hours (around 5:30pm), and on the weekends. I work full time as a Vet Technician, but am available when needed, especially weekends.

About: I've had a dog in my house from the day I was born, so I've cared for high-energy puppies all the way up to seniors who need special food, medications, patience, and love. I've been pet-sitting for friends and family ever since high school (and immediately locating the animals at any social function forever); I love to get to know each creature I meet and learn how they like to be shown affection. I'm always honored to be trusted with the safety and happiness of the furry members of your family. I'm currently working on finding more regular part-time employment, but at the moment, my days are free to take care of your little creatures! I love to participate in community theatre, so when I'm in a show, I might be gone for a few hours during the evenings for rehearsal, but I will update my calendar/communicate accordingly. I fully respect the homes people trust me to watch as well as the critters living in them. I find I'm able to make myself at home pretty much anywhere and leave the space as I found it.

“Carolyn is thoughtful and attentive to both her two and four legged clients. She checks in with us and sends pics of our pups. They love when she comes to visit and we feel so comfortable leaving them with her!”

“Melissa was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our 6-month old puppy. He had some unexpected medical issues that presented right before we left; she was still willing to watch him and managed all of his meds perfectly. She was a reliable communicator and sent us pictures and updates several times daily. We’re so grateful for her help and look forward to having her watch our dog again.”


“This was the first vacation I’ve taken in 5-years. I was nervous to leave the Fuzzkids behind for 7 days. From the first meeting with Megan my husband and I felt at ease. She was wonderful with Roxy and Jaspurr and went above and beyond to take excellent care of them and our house. We received many videos and pictures of our happy kids on a daily basis. She took out the garbage, got the daily mail and kept the house in perfect order. You will find no one better to care for your pets and home. Thank you Megan for allowing us to enjoy our time away without worry!”


“Tammy was awesome! She sent pictures and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. I could tell from the picture he was happy to be in his own home! I will definitely have her watch my dog again. It was nice to go away and not have to worry. I felt very comfortable with Tammy the day we meet.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, but I started caring for other people’s pets back in high school.

I consider myself to be fairly active so I do enjoy walking with the furry friends too! I don’t have a set schedule yet that I plan to tend to, but I do intend on making myself available as much as possible. I work every Tuesday and Thursday without question, and every other weekend. When I am not at work, I would like to make myself available for walks or watches! I personally do not tend to watch pets in my own home as I have 3 cats who do not play the best with others. I do have a reliable form of transportation and the utmost respect for other people’s dogs and homes. If I were to be granted the ability to care for your animals from the comfort of their own home, it usually is a win-win :)

Katelyn M.
“I can’t recommend Katie enough for anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter! She’s been absolutely amazing with my dog Ashe, who’s a Great Pyrenees mix. She’s not always the easiest to handle. Katie is incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which makes a huge difference with a dog like Ashe who can be a little stubborn at times. Ashe warmed up to her so quickly, and I could tell she felt totally comfortable and safe in Katie’s care. Katie’s friendly, gentle demeanor just puts animals at ease, and she genuinely treats them like her own. It’s such a relief knowing Ashe is in great hands whenever she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and totally in tune with your fur baby, Katie is it!”
