“Once again, we had an amazing experience having Emily take care of our two cats while we were away. Our new kitten warmed up to her immediately and she was amazing about helping to get his energy out and giving him plenty of cuddle time. We always look forward to her updates and great photos and definitely plan to utilize her help and care again in the future :)”


“Lisa is great with my 3 month old puppy. She makes sure to keep him active and burning some energy on her drop in visits. She is also great at sending updates and cute pictures of him. Will keep booking her when available.”


“Mary rose was amazing!!! She took care of khaleesi and loved her like she was her own. She hung out with her for way longer than requested and snuggled her. My girl has a lot of separation anxiety and I feel so much better knowing she had someone to cuddle with while I was away. Highly recommend Mary rose!!!”


“Melissa sought to go beyond in caring for my cat. She even returned one day to check on his food and water when I was worried it might be low. She played with him and his toys and sent me pictures that he was doing well. I will be asking for her help again!”

She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”


“Jessica made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats home while we were away. I got pictures for every visit and she really allowed me to enjoy my trip without stressing!!”

About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

About: Hi! Ive been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Walking dogs, staying over night, or driving to the groomers, I'm open to anything! I grew up with both dogs and cats. I am originally from Bloomfield Hills, MI. I currently have a one year old mixed golden retriever at my house back home. We rescued him from the humane society last May. When I am home I spend lots of time with him! I am a full time student teacher, my hours are typically 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. I am available outside of that. I am very flexible and can often do short notice jobs. I will follow all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure they and their doggo are comfortable with the care I am providing. On walks, the dog will remain on leash unless instructed by the owner otherwise.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance it takes to keep up with their needs! Exercise and human interaction is vital to their wellbeing ! So book me! I’m currently not working a full time job and have extra time on my hands ! I have a flexible schedule to fit into your needs. I live in a very nice area with a park across the street and a nice trail. I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need.

“Alyssa spent lots of time cuddling, playing and caring for our kitties. Her communication was excellent and she provided us with plenty of cute pictures. She went above and beyond for our cats and we highly recommend her to all the cat parents out there!”


About: I grew up in a home where I cared for 7 Siberian Huskies, adults and puppies alike. I assisted with their daily care (walks/feedings/playtime), vet visits (routine/emergencies/managing chronic conditions), and even breeding and whelping (pregnancy/labor/delivery/postpartum care). As an adult, I’ve walked dogs of all sizes, provided short- to mid-term care for various breeds, and been the primary caregiver for our 9 year-old Pitbull, Phife Dawg. Through this, I’ve learned to read breed-specific signs, and care for dogs of all sizes and characters in a broad ranges of environments. While I am new to this app and caring for dogs beyond my immediate community, I look forward to working with you to learn your dog’s specific needs and preferences, and provide them with professional, loving care. I work from home, so am available for both scheduled and last-minute walks. Here is my availability for drop-in visits and walks through June: Mondays: 9am - 12:15pm Thursdays: 9am - 12:15pm Fridays: 9am - 12:15pm July - August: Mondays: 9am - 4:45pm Thursdays: 9am - 4:45pm Fridays: 9am - 4:45pm September Onwards: Daily, 9:30am - 2:30pm I do not care for other dogs in my home since my senior dog has mobility issues and can be territorial. I am not yet caring for dogs in their own homes since I care full-time for our toddler, however, that’s a service I look forward to providing in the future!

“Thank you guys! Again I came home to Sushi and he was happy and relaxed! :)”


About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 12 and a family dog since I was 15. I also grew up with a neighbor who has many cats and dogs. She hires me periodically to care for her pets. Other family members and family friends trust me with their pets and have hired me to care for their pets while they go on vacation. I am currently a college student working a few spaced out part-time job, which leaves a lot of gaps in my schedule. I typically have time in the early morning and late afternoon through the night. Pet care is a perfect for me because it is straight forward and is more forgiving within my schedule! In order to keep your pet safe, I will ask critical questions such as “how will the pet react when I enter the door?” if they have the tendency to run out, I will make sure to slip in the entrance as to not let them out. If you have multiple pets, I will ask if it is normal for them to play fight. If it isn’t and I see the pets fighting, I will know something is wrong. I pay attention the the little details in order to keep your pets healthy and safe!

About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.

Nico O.
“Nico is a dog lover from birth. She had no choice. She, as an infant, shared a sheep skin rug with Siberian Huskies, Natasha and Sydnee. They nudged her and kissed her and tended to her all day long. If she cried they kissed her. If she had an accident they both came and whined until she was taken care of. She talked to the dogs and they talked to her. She speaks four languages plus dogie talk. She is the real deal. I am her mother and biggest fan.”

She has taken care of my 7 cats better than I do myself. She also steps in to walk my dog when I work late. Pixie absolutely is loves her.”
