“Katie was fantastic with my two cats. I flew to North Carolina for Thanksgiving - and she kept me fully updated through the holiday weekend, letting me know how my two babies were doing with photos. I absolutely felt reassured, knowing they were in her good hands!”

“Lukis was great! Loved all the photos they sent of my hams and followed directions for key swap! I was very confident that they would do a great job, and they did!!”


“Mary Kay is awesome! She came by for a quick meet and greet beforehand. On drop in day, everything went smoothly. She sent me pictures and a detailed message about what her and my puppy did during the drop in. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Thanks Mary Kay!”

“Katy was great with my pup! She truly cares for you and your pets to get the best experience, and even stayed longer with my puppy to makeup for a small miscommunication we had. She was very patient with my young puppy and I will definitely use Katy again.”

“Katherine is amazing! So good with our pups, so communicative, and so accommodating to last-minute changes in our schedule. We'd highly recommend her!”
“So crazy amazing! Carli far exceeded our expectations. She took care of all three of our pups individually to cater to each ones needs. From Our happy pup to our anxious pup, she treated each one with love and care. Can’t wait to have her with us again.”

“Erik watched my kitty on short notice and made the process easy. He sent updates and took great care of my car. She is a bit standoffish, but she took to Erik quickly. I will rebook with Erik on the future — thank you!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. For the past 5 years I took care of my senior dog until he passed at 17. I have experience with senior and sick pets. Provide medication and a lots of attention. Very patient and loving. I work remotely. I can stay with your pet all day and provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. I can take breaks during the day for walks, and they can sleep in my bed at night. I have a large fenced back yard. No children or other pets in my house. I live alone and work from home. I will provide plwnty of attention and play time.
“Ariel was a great to work with. A strong communicator, animal lover and very punctual. I knew Frootie was getting great care and extra pets while I was away. I would highly recommend Ariel!”

“Heather is great! She kept the kitty happy and healthy while I was out of town, and I appreciated the photos and great communication. I am literally about to send her another booking request right after I post this review. Thank you!”

“Naomi helped us out immensely by taking care of our senior kitty while we were out of town. She distributed meds with no problems and took care of our girl with love and care. I would recommend Naomi to anyone who needs reliable and earnest pet care and will book her again in the future. Thank you Naomi!”

“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I work full time, but I primarily work nights, so I’m available while most people are at work. I also love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. We have a specific room with toys, a bed, and plenty of attention from me that’s designed for your pet to have a great stay. We have a water fountain for cats, and a large water dish for dogs, and plenty of treats and love to provide.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.
About: For 15 years, I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of life—boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, senior routines, and chronic care. Those years taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel genuinely safe. I bring that same calm, steady energy to every pet I look after. I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of needs, from medication schedules and senior care to helping rescues and puppies build confidence. And because I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, I send check-ins and photos so you always feel connected, even from afar. I have a flexible work schedule that makes it easy to plan my day around pet visits and walks. Whether it’s early mornings, lunchtime check-ins, or evening routines, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and keep things consistent. I already build my own dogs’ walks, playtime, and snuggle breaks into my day, so adding a few more paws to the mix fits right in. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I stick closely to your routines—meals, walks, meds, and house rules—so your pet’s day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks (I have my own Harry Husky Houdini, so I understand escape artists). If something seems off, I’ll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or loose hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we’re in a fully fenced area and you’ve approved it. I communicate often, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease as your pet.
About: I spent most of my life being afraid of dogs until my sister got a beautiful pug named Ruby! Once I met her, I knew I had been missing out on some of the great love and joy. I love meeting new dogs and spending time with them. They really help to boost my spirits, especially during the dark, cold days. I believe that every dog deserves to be loved. I am a student, but most of my classes are online. I have a lot of free time! My most available is Wednesday and my busiest day is on Monday. I live in an apartment, but the area is very walkable. I also live on the third floor, but I can carry probably about 35lbs, so if you baby us a senior pup, I can help them up! I think treats make good rewards for great behavior. I also, love to snuggle!

About: I’ve lived in Atlanta for about 20 years and one of my favorite things about this city is the animal life; both wild and domesticated. I have recently relocates to Detroit! My friend call me “The Dog Whisperer” because everywhere I go puppers can’t get enough of me! My summertime availability is 100% flexible. I’ve taken care of all types of dogs old and young, big and small. I’m no stranger to giving medication or dealing with rambunctious dogs who need a little extra time outside. I believe that all animals deserve love and care and that all owners deserve a break. These puppies are like our children and sometimes kids have to be sent to Autie’s House. Let me be your puppy aunt. The pleasure is all mine. I take classes online and bartend part time. My schedule is very flexible. I am home during the day to play and cuddle with the animals. I leave for work in between 2-4 and return between 8-10. If I am returning at 10 I will feed the dogs before I leave and give them a little treat/snack when I return. I care for the pets based upon your personal standards and their routine. I currently do not offer boarding because of my own skittish pet.

Erik is so great with my cat. He takes great care of her and goes above and beyond to look out for my entire household. My dog has been gone the last couple of drop ins, but I look forward to Erik taking care of her too. He is clearly a natural animal lover and will care for your pet as if it’s his own.

Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!
