Dog Sitting Whitmore Lake

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

“Melissa was fantastic! She treated my dog like family and kept me up to date every visit. I was very nervous about leaving my dog at home but Melissa made it easier. I will 100% request her again.”

About: At the age of 14, I started dog sitting for my neighbors’ dogs, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how much I enjoyed it. What began as a simple favor quickly turned into a passion. Over the years, I’ve grown more dedicated to caring for animals, and it has become something truly meaningful in my life. I love what I do and take pride in providing care, attention, and love to all animals, no matter their size, breed, or personality. It’s more than just a job for me—it’s a genuine passion and commitment to the well-being of every pet I care for. Schedule: I’m available Sunday through Saturday with a highly flexible schedule. I have a side job downtown Brighton, but it allows me to accommodate pet sitting needs with ease. Whether it’s popping in for a quick visit, taking your pet for a walk, or providing overnight care, I can adjust to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. As a pet sitter it is a bit easier for me to know a few days in advance or any type of trip just weeks in advance! Throughout my experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I’ve spent countless hours in clients’ homes, bonding with their animals in their familiar environment, which helps build trust and comfort. Over time, I’ve not only earned the trust of the pets but also their owners. My number one priority is ensuring that my clients feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. To achieve this, I always offer a meet-and-greet before any pet-sitting arrangement. This allows me to get to know the pets, their routines, and the owners’ expectations, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.

“Julia was wonderful to work with and I will definitely book with her again. She followed our instructions for animal care and provided photos and updates at each visit. All communication was prompt and professional. Our animals were happy and safe on our return. Something necessary unexpectedly broke on her first day and she was still able to find a way to do what needed to be done despite the challenge -and she let me know. She is an incredibly kind person. I felt like I was leaving a trusted friend to care for my animals and home, which I deeply appreciate as this was the first time we’ve hired this type of care. I strongly recommend her!”

“Lacy is so friendly and very responsive! She reached out when there were questions too. My cats were happy and fed while we were away for a trip. We even got lots of photos during the visits! Would definitely have her watch my pets again.”

About: Ive had the privilege of being around dogs my whole life. I have pet sit for friends, family, and my nanny families when they were away. I currently work part-time with Fridays off so I have lots of free time to care for your pet! I also work close to home and can stop home for potty breaks and walks:) I live in an apartment complex that is dog friendly and also has a dog park! My family has dogs and live close so I have access to crates and any other things your pet might need:)

“Hana visited our home and cared our cats once every three-day during our overseas travels. During this periods, our home had multiple Wi-Fi and technical issues affecting our cat machines, we felt grateful Hana was able to tackle the issues, so we didn't need to request too many extra visit or worried about the cats on the other side of the globe. We are very pleased Hana was our cats sitter, and highly recommend her!!”

About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and even hedgehogs! I love and treat each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I work as a registered nurse 3 days a week - this allows me more time to check in on your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live off of a private road on 1.6 acres. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and lots of sniffing for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. I have also have two large dogs who love to play. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent regularly to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! *please let me know if your fur baby has any special limitations at our meet and greet so I can do my best to accommodate them.* I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for 6 years, and though I have mostly grown in experience here, I also took classes online to learn all things dog. I’ve also worked with a certified trainer in the spring of 2023 for awhile. Although my experience falls majorly in dogs, I also have expertise with cats, weather they are my own or my clients have them. I am currently just trying to build up my clientele so please, reach out! I’m currently working part time, I have my own clients already though my own LLC. Which is JUST boarding. It works into my daily life because I have 4 dogs of my own so I know exactly how to rotate that throughout my day Although I mainly watch some dogs in clients houses. I Accept some dogs in my own. I have four amazing fun loving dogs who love to play and are used to dogs coming and going (when I watch them at my home) I also have a cat who couldn’t care less and it used to all the dogs. I always ask that you leave notes for a stay.

About: I grew up on my parents farm in Michigan. Ive always had dogs my whole life. When I was about 14 yrs old I fostered puppies and dogs. I loved every minute of it. In my home now I have my best friend Jack. He is a rescue terrier. He goes everywhere with me even to the grocery store. Jack and I frequent dog parks and love going hiking. Jack has a lot of energy and keeps me busy. He truly brings so much joy to my life. When people ask if I have kids I say no, but I’m a dog Mom. If you want your pet baby to be treated amazingly, and if they were my own pet contact me. You’ll be satisfied. Working remotely allows me to give pets my full attention and care. Thankfully I can really customize and craft an amazing experience for them. It’s my absolute passion. I have a fenced in yard, and take my time with your dog to learn its personality. I want it to be most comfortable here.
