About: 30+ years of responsibly caring for dogs and animals of all kinds, ages, and size. I have passionately cared for my family, framily, friend's, and neighbor's dogs or pets. I'm a full-time Momma of twins and of course, a Dog Mom! My schedule can be flexible during the weekdays, but I require a 1-2 week notice prior to weekend care. Last-minute needs can be negotiated depending on availability. I'm fortunate to have a large fenced in backyard, with several trails within walking distance. I live near Lake Michigan too! My neighborhood is located on a Dead End street and the area is very safe for pets and people. Most of my great neighbors have one dog, but several have 2 or more! My top priority is to keep your furry family member(s) healthy, safe, and happy!
9. Lindsey M.

12. Jessica J.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, we currently have 4, I’ve helped train them, I love all breeds, but I also can ignore the puppy eyes when they need correcting. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time to fit the needs of any animal, baby or senior. I do go home every morning when I sit to feed my ferret. We have 4 dogs, however one doesn’t get along with new animals, so I will only be available to house sit. I’ve dog-sat for many family friends, and am good about keeping to the pet’s schedule.
13. Janelle R.
“Janelle is a wonderful person and the dogs loved her instantly. She’s very conscious of hers and your time and I would recommend her for all of your pups needs!”
14. Isabella T.
“Isabella has watched my dog (Chiquis) on two occasions. She also fed my pet frog. She did phenomenal work. She came over my house and took him for walks and paid attention to his strict feeding routine. I definitely recommend her for everyone’s pet sitting needs! Not only is very dedicated and trustworthy but, she loves animals of all kinds. We will definitely have her dog/frog sit again!”
15. Selena S.
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my whole life (yorkies, labs, german shepherds) so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and their mannerisms. I love to play with animals and give endless belly rubs! I am a medical student and have varying ability. I’m free almost every day as I just watch lectures at home. I’m just not available during the times I have exams or rotations. 90% of the week I’m free though! I am a big lover of animals so if you have a needy/clingy cat or dog, I’m the perfect sitter for you!! I’m happy to vacuum up around litter boxes, handle their waste, walk/play. (:
16. atziri g.
“I believe Atziri would be a wonderful dog walker because she is great with animals and has a few dog babies of her own! Also on her friends she volunteers at a dog shelter and spend time with the animals and make them feel loved!”
17. Chelsea L.
“Chelsea is very kind, respectful and responsible. She is dependable and will take very loving care of your pet! Chelsea has a rescue puppy of her own and takes incredible care of her, spoils her rotten and is the best dog mom ever herself. She will take care and love your furry family member like her own!!”

About: As a person I'm very friendly and responsible and capable . I've got a great demeanor which lends itself well to patiently interacting with all kinds of pets.

19. Kristoffer M.
“Kris used to live with my family and I and would take care of our two Chihuahuas like they were his own. His dog Wombat is great and plays very well with our small dogs.”
20. Kristi O.
About: I’ve loved working with animals ever since I was little. As a new dog mom, I am excited to share my love and passion for animals with all kinds of pets 🥹 At the moment, I am transitioning out of a full time position, so I have lots of time to play with and care for your fur babies! I make it a priority to let your pets get to know me before jumping into any activities or cuddles. I want them to be completely comfortable no matter how long it takes!
