Top rated Westside Connection doggy day care sitters

“Renee was great. Excellent communication in setting up the sit. Very personable and flexible. Chewie had a comfortable stay and we will definitely use Renee again!!”


“We were in town for a family reunion and needed to have Beignet & Brie cared for. So fortunate to have Terry care for our babies. They loved being there. They were happy and content and felt right at home with him immediately. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you Terry!”


“Remi did a great job caring for Duckie! She had lots of updates and pictures. She took him on a long walk and gave him lots of snuggles. I will definitely be booking with Remi again:)”


“Joshua did a great job with our 4 month old puppy, Tuuli. I was a little nervous leaving her (first time puppy parent) and his updates with photos throughout the day put me at ease. We would happily book him again for daycare. His service is much more personalized and offers a wider variety of hours that other franchises just don’t offer, perfect for us when we have busy evenings and can’t leave our pup home alone (yet!).”


“Marina was wonderful! I had a complicated schedule and she worked with me to figure out the best options for me and my dog. My dog loved her and was so excited to go back and see her!”


About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, and small animals, and I can offer tailored services depending on your pet's needs. I’m happy to update you with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. Let’s connect and see how I can help with your pet care needs! I currently work from home and would not be gone for periods of time greater than a couple hours. Since we're home a majority of the time and have our own pets to care for, we welcome short notice visits. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I promise to provide the same care and attention that I give my own pets.

“Omg I had so much anxiety leaving him while I had to go to work but Mimi and her pets became quick friends with my pup Frankie. I am so grateful for her watching him while I was gone. Her dog Roxy was so sweet with Frankie too. He already loves goes to her house!”


“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”


“Caitlin has been a wonderful dog sitter for my pup! She gives such great care and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She is very communicative. Would definitely recommend.”


“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”


“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”


“Leeann was very friendly and took excellent care of my princess. Communication was great and I got tons of pics which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications orally and topically, cats, reptiles, large mammals, and more! Happy to learn what makes your pet an individual. I work from home full time, which allows me to love on your pets even more! whether that’s going to your place during the day or them coming here, whatever works. My cats love company and I am more than happy to travel to your place. I love walks and will be so happy to take your dog on an adventure!

“Lisa was very communicative and Shelby had a great time at her house for the day. We were completely comfortable leaving Shelby in her care as she was immediately welcoming and careful to get Shelby comfortable at her home slowly.”


“Great experience. She was flexible with our arrival and departure times, as we were running behind for both. Dog seemed quite happy when we picked her up. Would absolutely use Sarah's service again. Thank you.”


About: What sets me apart. I would say I love animals more than I love humans and I would also say that I have had actually had senior dogs and multiple ages of dogs before until they have passed away. But I love and treat a dog like they are my child cause they are. A pet care fits in my routine by me making time it would probably be after or before I go to my primary job if I am being honest. I would care for your pet like I would care for my pet. I have an open half fenced in yard. They would have to be on a leash yard tie out, and I would provide water.

“Loved Lauren and Jarek !! They made Britney's stay extra special!! They went above and beyond to make sure it was smooth sailing!! Highly recommend them and will definitely hire them when back in Michigan 😍”
