Pet Sitting Wayland

About: I have grown up with dogs and have been dog sitting for a while. Once I dog sat for 7 dogs! I enjoy going on walks and playing with dogs. I have taken care of and walked small dogs, big dogs, puppies and senior dogs! I am currently a graduate student and have time each day 2-3 times a day to take care of your pet and walk them! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I go on walks each day anyway and would love to take your dog too! I will make sure to follow your rules for your pet. I take thorough notes to remember what you want your pet’s care to look like . I will always reach out if I have any questions!

“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”

“We have now hired Michelle multiple times when we go on week-long trips. She provides thorough updates and genuinely takes care of our fur babies. Having her check in on our cats and update us makes it so we can enjoy our time away from our cats without worrying about them! We appreciate Michelle so much and plan on reaching out again in the future!”

“Noah has catsit for us a few times now and he’s so attentive to Mac and communicative about how he’s doing. We will hire Noah again and highly recommend him to watch your pet!”

About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.

“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”

“Emily provided great care for our cat while we were away. She was very professional and communicative. We really appreciated how understanding and kind she was when our cat showed some unexpected behavioral quirks. Thank you Emily!”

“Grace was a great sitter for our three cats. We have a shy cat that warmed up to her very quickly. She updated us with every visit with how the cats were behaving and sent pictures. We would absolutely use her again. Thank you again.”

“Honestly, I've never trusted anyone but close friends and family with the care of my animals. Maryann was my first experience with pet sitting and I cannot say enough GREAT things about her. My girls have always been well cared for and loved when she comes to visit. One of my passed babies required daily meds and Maryann handled it like a champ! I can always trust her to come right on time...she will feed, play, love them every time. She sends the best pics of my girls I've ever seen (mine don't compare) and gives thorough updates on each visit. I would give her 10 stars if I could...she is the best there is and I am super grateful that my girls have her to take care of them when I'm away!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.

“Mae was incredibly communicative, responsible, and flexible. The intentional questions she asked about our cat Tater Tot during the meet and greet, the detailed updates she left while we were away, and how happy Tater looked in the photos she sent all make it clear why she has so many great reviews on Rover! We would definitely recommend her and trust her with Tater Tot again.”

“Tatiana was very communicative and I was confident our kitty was well cared for while we were away. Would definitely have her watch our kitty again!”

“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with a family dog, which gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my family dog, I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, respecting their unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of affection so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. During the school year, I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekdays after 5:00 p.m. and throughout the weekends. During the summer, I have significantly more flexibility and availability, allowing me to dedicate even more time to pet care. No matter the season, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet receives the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I always communicate with owners and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), and any other special care their pet may need. In my home, pets have a comfortable environment with a spacious living room for playtime and a separate room where they can relax or have quiet time if needed. My apartment also has convenient dog relief areas, and there are several nearby parks where dogs can enjoy safe walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease.

“Katarina was so great! My Angie LOVED her and seemed so happy in all the pictures. Katarina was so communicative and flexible! Absolutely would book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!

About: I adopted my dog when he was two and trained him to become the calm, well-mannered gentleman he is today. Now a senior, he’s an expert at finding the best spot on the floor and supervising the household from there. Caring for him has taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra support older dogs need. I’m dependable, observant, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog prefers long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or professional-level napping, I’ll treat them like my own. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is genuinely one of the best parts of my day. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets the time and attention it deserves... never rushed or squeezed in as an afterthought. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, arrive when expected, and keep you updated while you’re away. I know consistency helps pets feel safe, especially when dinner is served three minutes late and they’re considering filing a formal complaint. Safety and trust come first. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, respect the space, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I know from my own dog's personality that pets are not always committed to the honor system. I’ll maintain their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines while giving them the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. In my home, any introductions to my calm senior dog would be slow and supervised, with separate spaces available for meals and rest. I’ll also provide honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being treated with genuine care and respect.

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
