House Sitting in West Bloomfield Township

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 was such an amazing rover! She kept in touch and sent us pictures of our baby while we were away. Our Hank will be looking forward to Karlee watching him again in a few weeks. Highly recommend using her!! She is such a sweetheart.”

“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!”

Jalyn V.

“Nick was fantastic!!! He came through for us when we were in a last-minute pinch when another sitter cancelled on us unexpectedly. He was immediately available for a meet and greet, extremely well-prepared, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Our dog was the happiest camper and our home was spotless upon returning. We will definitely be reaching out to Nick again and we’re incredibly grateful for his care!”

“Autumn had very good / quick communication before and during her stay at our house. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. Thanks Autumn!”

“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!”

Erika L.

“Highly recommend Brea. She took great care of our dog! Gave him lots of love and attention. Sent pictures and periodic updates even though we were only gone for one night.”

Megan S.

“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”

Jeannine R.

“Mackenzie was great! She took care of our senior pup at our house, and I would absolutely rebook with her again! She provided some pictures of our dog living her best life, and provided us with peace of mind!”

Erin L.

“Ashlee has stayed with my puppies before and is wonderful. Took out the trash and recycling bins even though I forget to ask her. She also washed her sheets and made the bed. Wow! And all that aside, she's great with my rather rambunctious puppies. She's definitely a sweetie and a keeper, as the pups love her, too.”

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.

“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.

“Pavlina was wonderful with our 75 pound retriever and house sitting as well, thru a week long stay and thru a winter storm. We were relieved to see great pictures of Tock resting his head on Pavlina, a testament to her being a “dog person”.”

Stacy M.

“Jennifer was awesome and I would highly recommend her to watch your pets. We hired her for a 5 day/4 night engagement to watch our moderate energy 5 year old Bernese mountain dog. She sent pics and texts a few times a day which eased my mind! He got plenty of walks and love. Jennifer approaches this form a business owner perspective and even had a PDF “Pet and House Guide” for me to fill out ahead of time that thought of all the random pet and house info so I didn’t have to stress about what to leave notes about. In addition to all this, Jennifer even ran the dishwasher and laundry before she left. Your pets and home will be well cared for with Jennifer!”

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.

“Shiyuan was absolutely amazing! We received constant updates and photos about our dog . She went above and beyond … she was always sending us updates on when he ate, how much he ate, potty breaks and even when his nap schedule. It was so nice to not have to worry and be confident that he was being well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”

Renee L.

“Lauren was wonderful with my little Oliver. She was prompt, communicated well, kept me updated, gave medication, left house clean and neat and followed directions. I will definitely call Lauren again. An absolute joy to deal with.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.
