House Sitting in West Bloomfield

About: I’ve worked part-time as a dog walker and pet sitter since 2015 both independently and with Doggie Latchkey. I am experienced with both cats and dogs. I have done: dog walking, overnight pet sitting in client’s home, and cat sitting. ***Please note that overnight pet sits start at 5-6 pm and end latest 9-10 am the next morning. If you require me to stay at your residence full time, it’ll be an additional cost per day plus the added fees for more than one dog, cat, etc. I can provide a discount if the sit duration is over one week.*** I am available to do dog walks and drop-in cat/dog care as well as overnight care for your pets. I can visit your pets morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening as needed. Will do sits at client’s home. I’m not offering pet care inside my home at this time as I have 2 pets of my own as well as foster cats.

“Emily did a great job watching my two dogs while I was out of state for the weekend. Sent me pictures when requested and I came home to everything as clean as when I left, if not cleaner. Would recommend!”

“Karlee took amazing overnight care of our pets (2 cats & 2 dogs). She was super communicative about our pets and I could tell she genuinely loved hanging out with them. We would without a doubt rebook with Karlee! It is such a relief finding someone so responsible, kind, and responsive!”

“Nicholas did an amazing job house sitting for our dog and cat. He was responsive, respectful and made sure he understood our instructions prior to the sit. He sent us photos and an update daily and went above and beyond for the comfort of our pets. They will be so excited to see him again the next time we leave town!”

“Erin went above and beyond for my sweet senior dog Abigail. She stayed in our home while we were on a long weekend trip. Our dog wasn't eating after we had left so Erin homemade her special meals to get her eating again. I will definitely be using Erin as our go-to when we go out of town! Thanks again Erin!”

“Brea did a great watching our three dogs while we were out of town. In addition to that, our furnace had broke, and Brea took on extra duties of keeping our pups warm and the house, too. Now that the dogs know her, we will have again to watch the dogs.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and family. Their smiles and wagging tails bring me joy, so I make sure they have just as much joy in their lives as they bring me! Here are a few highlights from my rich fur filled life: I have had to care for a litter of kittens whose mother had passed way before weening her babies. At which, I had to administer special formula and attend to each of the 5 kittens until maturity. We currently still have two of the five, the other three had been rehomed. I was in charge of providing care for a dog whose previous human caregivers were abusive drug addicts. He was skiddish and timid, had a problem with floor and chair wetting when he slept, and was quick to tense up if he sensed any hostility in a room. He stayed with me for the majority of a year, in which I had him accustomed better to human contact and interaction. The wetting issue, I had discovered, was a combination of his age and anxiety, and cleared up to only a few isolated incidents after the time he was with me. He is now with a loving family whose son is very active in engaging with him and playing with him on a daily basis. I now currently babysit a husky in my home every other weekend. She gets along great with my dogs and cat, and is the perfect couch snuggler. I also do house visits for my friends domestic short-hair cat when she works late or out of town. My dog of 8 years had a litter of 10 puppies a couple years ago. We had to give her a special high protein and fiber diet with 6 feeding times a day due to her major weight loss and diarrhea while whelping. Within a couple weeks, she was back up to a healthy weight and bathroom schedule and could nurse all 10 puppies with no assistance. I helped deliver of 8 of the 10 puppies, one of which had to be given CPR to be revived, as he had fluid in his lungs. He has since been rehomed to a great family and is living his best life with a toddler as his bestest friend! He makes his grandma proud. I am currently working part-time, so afternoons and evenings on Thurs, Fri, and Mon are available and can be spent taking care of any of your fur child's needs. Mornings and afternoons may become available as my schedule changes. I can also work in house visits and overnight stays if necessary. I have a cottage style home in which the back yard is completely fenced in, and a finished and climate controlled basement with a gate if seclusion is needed for shy or nervous babies. There are plenty of soft areas for animals to lounge on. I also have extra bowls for food and water in case there are specific dietary restrictions and a client needs his/her own eating area. The neighborhood I live in has many sidewalked areas ideal for walks around it, and my location is only a couple blocks from Bloomer Park.

“Ashley was amazing! Super professional and kind to our kitties who can be a little crazy 😭 We’re definitely using her moving forward to watch our kitties!”

“Rebekkah was amazing with Tucker. We had some very serious health issues occur while she was sitting for him, and she handled everything with kindness, grace, and professionalism. Her communication was great. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

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.

“Ashlee is very sweet and did a fantastic job taking care of my two 6 month old puppies this weekend. Got good updates and pics of the pups from her. Definitely someone I'll reach out to again.”

“Mackenzie was a fantastic house-sitter and dog-watcher during our honeymoon trip! Super responsive, house was in good order when we returned home, and our pup was happy and healthy. Will definitely use again when the need arises!”

Chris K.

“Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!”

Patricia C.

“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! We had great communication before, during, and after our trip. She sent a lot of pictures while we were away, and we could tell Benny was having a great time. We would definitely book her again!”

Katie P.

“Pavlina was amazing!! She took great care of Bodi and our home, and we look forward to booking here in the future. Bodi says, "Thank you" for taking such good care of him.”

“We always love when Tamryn house sits for us and cares for our pets. She leaves the house absolutely immaculate and our animals are well-cared for.”

Claire H.

“Diane was a fantastic sitter! She was amazing and easy to work with throughout the process. She stayed in my home while I traveled and my deeply anxious rescue dog and my cats never missed me. Diane kept me informed while I was away, followed all my instructions, and my pets were safe and happy in my absence. I look forward to hiring her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook her. She’s truly a thoughtful and special person who will care for your pets so you can relax while you’re away.”
