Dog Sitting in Walled Lake

About: We have been life long animal lovers - raising a combined 30+ animals (both domestic and farm). We recently lost our 2 dogs, after raising them from puppies and cherishing every moment! Now with our kids, we've decided the best way to fill our hearts is by helping care for other families' beloved pets. With years of hands-on experience (and the added insight of having a father who's a large & small animal veterinarian), we bring both loving care & extra peace of mind to every walk, play session, and cuddle. We have two adults who work full-time from home, so our availability and presence within the house is very flexible. Our children are school aged (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) so they are home during non-school hours. The largest animals we have owned are Rottweilers down to most recently a Pomeranian, so experience in safety is vast! We have a fully fenced in yard (or fenced in deck if your animal prefers to be off the grass) - both offer plenty of shade for potty breaks outside. We have a dedicated dog room for safe sleep and rest - which is on the same floor as our normal living area and primary bedroom. We definitely consider pets & animals to be an extension of family and are treated as so - with attention and free roam of the home and furniture.

“Julia was great and kept me very up to date with all of my dog’s care and happiness. She is very trustworthy and reliable. I will definitely use her again!”

I'm Aaron, along with my wife Misty and our 5 year old twins we'd love to take great care of your pups! Your dog(s) will be treated with such love and care as if they were our own. A staycation with us will include a smoke free environment, daily walks, plenty of playtime with tons of toys, and most importantly, lots of love. Photos and video updates will be sent throughout their stay so you'll see how your pup is doing. If your pup has special needs, we'd be glad to administer medications and adhere to special dietary restrictions. They will surely love our Canine Care! ***Fleas and Ticks are on the prowl, proof of prevention must be shown at or before drop-off.

About: Hello! I’m Grace aka the dog whisperer 😊 Caring for dogs is truly my passion, both at home and professionally. I have two dogs of my own, one who is two years old and one who is eleven, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, energy levels, temperaments, and care styles that come with both puppies/young adults and senior dogs. Aside from that, I have a rescue dog of my own who is two years old. I currently work as a canine care specialist and kennel attendant, where I care for dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From very small dogs to large breeds like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My responsibilities include feeding, potty breaks, safe socialization, and making sure each dog is comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and attentiveness, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, both personally and professionally. I work in the pet care field during the week, so caring for animals is something I do daily and genuinely enjoy. At this time, my availability is primarily on weekends, which are generally open unless I communicate otherwise in advance. I’m very upfront about my schedule and always make sure expectations are clear so pets receive consistent, attentive care. Because pet care is already a major part of my life, I’m comfortable building it into my routine and giving each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment. Exercise and playtime are a big part of my approach to care. I make sure each dog gets appropriate physical activity and mental stimulation based on their age, energy level, and routine. Along with plenty of play and affection, I stay consistent with the basics, regular feeding, fresh water at all times, and close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with complete respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, and make sure the home is left just as it was found. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and genuine care, and I always strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Merritt did an amazing job caring for my 2 cats! She made sure not only that they had fresh water, food and litter but also ensured the space remained tidy and spent extra time playing and giving them lots of love while I was gone. She consistently went above and beyond on communication daily, making sure to send photos, ask questions and respond promptly to my random anxious messages as it was hard to be apart from my girls! Highly recommend Merritt if you are looking for someone who not only provides excellent care but goes above and beyond!”

“Anthony did a great job with Manny who can tend to be a little finnicky! Kept me updated with texts and photos so I knew everything was ok. I will definitely contact Anthony again for future stays and highly reccomend him!”

“We (our cat included) loved Rebecca. She always sent pictures and asked if we needed something else (she even asked me how to refill my aerogarden because it was flashing red) We'll definitely ask Rebecca to look after our cat again 😸”

“Felisha was amazing. My cats generally hide from everyone and one of them was out and interacting with her each time she came. She took amazing photos and left great check-in notes. She also was not phased by my last minute request to administer medication due to finding out my cat required a few weeks of antibiotics only a few days before we left. Would recommend Felisha to everyone and will definitely hire her again!”

Rachel T.

“Kristin is AWESOME!!! I needed someone to help give my dog his insulin shots while I was traveling out of state and I could not have found a better caregiver than Kristin! She was very accommodating, punctual, gentle, caring and my dog was very happy to see her! Moving forward she is my go to person to care for my pets when I have to travel ?”

About: I've had animals all my life- 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 guinea pig, 3 hermit crabs, and numerous fish. I now also cat sit for my neighbor and friends when they go on vacations or trips ranging from a day to a week. I make sure I spend lots of time with their furry friends so they don't get lonely and they get the care they need. I am currently in college and working part-time (usually mornings on Thursdays and on Fridays), but my schedule allows me for ample time to check in on the furry buddies on my available days or the nighttime. I love to give my animals lots of cuddles and kisses. I make sure to give them long amounts of pets and love. If a storm is going on, I always make sure to turn on calming animal music and talk them through it. I treat animals like they are people and someone who needs care and love.

“Dana was amazing! She took care of our animals while we were on vacation and kept us updated the whole time. Our dog Bentley loved spending time with her, he still checks the door during drop in times to see if she's coming lol. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone needing pet sitting!”
