About: I've had both cats and dogs as family members for many years. Now I currently love my family and friends' pets as if they were my own. I am recently retired after working 30+ years for the same company. I'm a home body so I'm comfortable snuggling and spending playtime with your pets. I love the outdoors and enjoy talking walks. I usually watch my friends and family's pets in the comfort of their own homes. I often have their pets at my home as well but usually for short periods, though sometimes overnight. I usually initiate playtime and welcome snuggling.

“Lynn is great! She always helps us out on short notice and our dog loves her.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Right now, I have two cats who are my baby boys, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and their routines. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities—from high-energy dogs to more independent or shy pets—and I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m very detail-oriented and reliable, especially when it comes to following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I make that a priority. I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me some flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and pet care. I have the most availability after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I’m also available for overnight stays in my clients’ homes, since I live in an apartment and am not offering boarding in my own home. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and routines. I always make sure doors are secure, pets have fresh water, and their space is clean and safe before I leave. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are doing well.

About: Hi! I’m a social work student with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their behaviors—what they need, how they communicate, and what that means for the people who love them. I know how much pets are a part of the family, and how important it is to have someone you trust to care for them when you can’t be there. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and attentive—not just to animals, but also to the routines, preferences, and peace of mind of their humans. Every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adapt to their personality and needs with patience, compassion, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to support both you and your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m a student with a flexible schedule, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find grounding. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m happy to build my day around making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, or little quirks your pet loves. With my own dogs, I’ve used positive reinforcement to teach commands and tricks, and I’m always gentle and encouraging. I bring that same approach to every animal I care for—lots of praise, patience, and treats (if allowed!). I also pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond to your pet’s needs in real time, whether they’re feeling playful, anxious, or just want some quiet company. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved—just like I’d want for my own.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up around them taught me everything I needed to know about their moods, needs, and the little quirks that make each one special. Most recently, I had the joy of caring for a friend’s puppy full-time for six months, and that experience only deepened my love for the job. From daily walks and bath time to feeding routines and training sessions, I’m comfortable handling it all. Whether your pup is a laid-back lounger or a high-energy handful, I’ve got the patience and experience to meet them right where they are. When your dog is with me, they’re family! As a recent college grad working fully remote this summer, I have more flexibility than ever and I love every second of it. My days and weekends are wide open, which means your pup will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s a midday walk, an afternoon play session, or just some good old couch cuddles, I’m here and fully present. No squeezing visits in between a packed schedule, your dog gets my undivided attention:) I provide dog sitting exclusively at your home, meaning your pup stays in their own familiar environment, surrounded by everything they already know and love. No adjustment period, no added stress. I’m extremely detail oriented, so nothing slips past me when it comes to your dog’s safety and well-being. From securing doors and gates to following feeding schedules and medication routines to the letter, you can trust that every little detail will be handled with care.

“Celia came over to take my dog on a walk while I was gone for part of the day. She was on time and provided pictures and details on how the visit went. My dog (and cat) were happy and I could tell she took time to play with them. I will schedule with Celia again in the future and would recommend her to others needing someone to care for their fur family members. She is dependable, friendly, and caring.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets including rabbits and guinea pigs. Growing up with both a small and a large dog gave me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Both dogs completed training programs—one as a puppy and the other later in life—which helped me develop an understanding of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement in animal care. I understand the importance of providing quality walks, maintaining feeding schedules, paying close attention to grooming and hygiene, and ensuring pets receive proper exercise and enrichment. In addition, I have personally owned cats and am knowledgeable about their daily care needs, including providing fresh food and water, maintaining clean living spaces, monitoring behavior, and grooming as needed. I am attentive, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I base my scheduled depending on the clients and their pets’ needs. Emphasis on the importance of consistency and schedule that the pet is used to. I familiarize myself with the environment and ask any necessary questions that I need in order to feel comfortable in the environment to gain the pets’ trust.

“Kathleen was awesome! She was able to fit me in the very next day for a walk with my Great Dane puppy. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. She was patient and loving with him, and he had a blast!. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I have had pets all my life from our first Basset Hound to our German Shepard/ Rotty mix. I have raised my own Border Collie from 8 weeks old into the fantastic trick loving treat eating kid she is today. I also volunteered at an animal shelter taking care of cats of all ages and challenges. I am currently working only four days a week so I have extra time to care for your pets! Daily walks are an essential part of my routine and it would be even better while walking your pup! I will do whatever is needed for your pets but I would never treat them any differently than my baby at home. They will have all my attention when I am with them and their safety is my number one priority.

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.

About: I've had pets my whole life and love caring for them, being active with them and being a calming person for them to rely on. I have been a volunteer at the Dearborn Animal Shelter for many years and have also fostered cats and multiple kittens from the shelter. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet and help out however you may need. I love being active so walking your pet and helping them stay active is no problem! I have many dog parks in my neighborhood and love walking in my neighborhood. I am not a huge fan of dog parks due to the fact that other pets are unpredictable but going when no other dogs are there is always fun!

About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting dogs since I was 20, with experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherds, and Brittanys/Pit mixes. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs I have a busy work schedule, but I’m great at planning ahead and making time for the pets I care for. I build pet care into my daily routine so they get the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles they need. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible when it comes to sticking to your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in home, providing a secure space for pets to enjoy some fresh air and playtime. My home is also equipped with an alarm system and security cameras, adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands while you’re away.

“Very responsive to messages and replies fast. She was not intimidated by our Doberman at all and they both made fast friends. We will use Hailey again for sure!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so I know how special they are, they’re part of my family. I love spending quality time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or going for walks. I’m attentive, patient, and enjoy giving each pet the care and love they deserve. I have experience with puppies and am happy to take care of senior pets. I have a part-time job, but I spend most of my time at home, so I’m looking for ways to fill my day with something I love. When I’m home, I’m always with my dog, he’s the best company! I enjoy giving pets attention, playtime, and lots of love, so caring for other furry friends fits naturally into my routine. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, since they know their pet best. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. I enjoy spending time playing, cuddling, and making sure each pet feels happy and comfortable.

“Elizabeth is very responsible, very prompt, and very kind. Highly recommended. My dog Ballou is extremely happy and excited when she comes.”

About: I love and care for all types of pets. I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 14, but I learned how to care for pets at home from a very young age. I grew up around dogs and cats, and my family has always had at least two pets at a time. I recently graduated with my master’s degree and started working in my field. My job is hybrid, with 50% of my time in the office and 50% working from home, so my schedule is currently very flexible. I also love hiking and exploring new trails! I’m excited to have my own puppy one day, but in the meantime, I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby so you can enjoy your vacation or work trips worry-free. I understand that every pet has different needs, and every home has different rules. I will make sure to carefully follow all safety instructions and house rules while caring for your furry baby/babies. My schedule is very flexible because I work a hybrid job, spending part of my week working from home. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make time to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety is my biggest priority. I have been watching dogs for a few years now, and one thing I notice is every dog owner has their own definition of what safety looks like for their pet. I always try my best to keep the routine that the dog owners have already established for their pet, so that the pet does not feel unsafe or stressed.
