Dog Sitting Whitmore Lake

About: I have a 4 year old mini bernedoodle who is quite a handful and such a joy. I grew up with dogs from a young age, both in my house and in friends and extended family and have dog sat since I was a teenager. I am very comfortable and familiar with playing, walking, and hanging out with man’s best friend. I have a hybrid and flexible work schedule which allows me to step away during the day to take some appointments. I can make most appointments work during the 9-5 hours, and of course morning and evenings. I’d love to meet your pup and help them have a good day! I work full time, but work from home often. My hybrid and flexible schedule allows me to do appointments throughout the day. I’m also happy to help morning, evening, and weekends. I strive to care for others dogs as if they are my own! We will only go on leashed walks and ensure any toys or “temptations” are put away before returning them home. Our dog stays out of his crate when we leave, but I will be sure to follow your instructions and care guidelines for your furry friend.

About: Hello! I’m Katie! I have had about 7 years of experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for animals of all species and ages! I have my own pets and have been surrounded by animals my whole life! I would love to extend my love to your fur baby! I do work about 28-32 hours a week at starbucks, but am usually off before 2. I get my schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can make plans in advance. I am off monday, wednesday, and fridays! I do have some plans this summer, but I will do my best to fit your pet into my schedule! I have two older cats (11 and 10), one requiring medication daily so I have experience in administering medication. I also have 3 dogs (5 month old lab, 11 year old pitbull, and a 7 year old dachshund) So I am experienced in different age groups! I have also cared for birds, reptiles, and fish before :)

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’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with 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.

“Kelli took great care of our dogs while we were away. She completed 2 drop in visits per day for us. One of our dogs can be very challenging. Kelli navigated around her needs so both her and our dog felt comfortable. We would recommend her!”

About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.

About: I have had a love for animals my entire life, especially dogs. Since the age of six to 23 I was responsible for my family’s dogs in regards to walking, playing, and feeding them. I have a Bernedoodle, Fry, who is a very social goofball who will definitely keep your pup company. As well as a goldendoodle, Rory, who is more of a couch potato. Our fenced yard has direct access to the Lakeland Trail, perfect for walks! I work Monday through Friday 8 am to 4 pm, but I able to work remotely when providing care! My fiancé and I are home every weekend. I typically utilize the Lakeland Trail for a morning and afternoon walk with my dogs! In my home dogs are allowed on the furniture but I do have a large crate available if needed. We have baby gates if needed to give your dog its own space. We have dog beds all around the house and a large crate of toys. Our large backyard is fenced and connects directly to the Lakeland Trail, perfect for walks! Our home is equipped with a surveillance system.

About: We always are out having fun, exploring new terrain. I have a puli and she is always craving new friends and adventures. Dogs are everything to me and the life I live, can't beat a dogs love. We get out and explore all the time as no dog should be left behind sitting around not enjoying life to the fullest. Your pets will be in good hands, treating them just like they are my own. We frequent dog parks and will rally all sorts of fun activities with your beloved animal. I love dogs, you can trust me with your precious family member. Rover is a great service! I work from home so your pets will be taken care of around the clock. I will be available to offer potty breaks whenever needed. We love on your pets like they are our own. They won't want to leave when they are in our care. Safety and their well-being is our top priority.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, and fish. I love animals with my whole heart and I’d love to watch yours! I am a graduate student so I have a ton of free time on the weekends and even during the days. I work, but not a ton of hours. So I have more than enough time to be able to watch some animals and make some friends! :) I love playing with animals and taking care for them in general. I will follow instructions to a T because I would also be very picky with my own dog or rabbit.

About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.

“Rachel was great! Not only did she love on my babies like they were her own, but her and her daughter were very calming for my babes. Rachel sent LOTS of photos and was very loving towards my babies! I will definitely be using Rachel again🩷”

“We have used Michelle two times now for dog walking and drop in visits. She was able to do 3 drop ins over 2 days to feed our cats while we took a trip up north!! We so appreciate her! She took pictures and kept us updated!! I recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Heather O. Did an amazing job! I came home to a happy pup. She made sure to update the app each time she was there, take pictures and even take him for walks. I will be inquiring again the next time I am out of town!”

About: I have two cats and grew up with many animals including dogs, bunnies, reptiles, insects, and fish. My cats have had numerous health issues and I’m comfortable administering medications or doing special care with tough babies! I also worked in an animal research lab where we managed care for farm animals around the clock. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Taking care of pets helps me take a break and helps you ensure your pet is getting what they need while you are gone! I have two cats at home, so I am not able to care for other cats, dogs, or pets in my home at this time unfortunately.

“Abby thank you so much! Gomez adores you!”

“Quick communication, took good care of our pups. Communicative and detailed. Will book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

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.

About: Hi !! I’m Jasmine and I’m a student at U-M so I’m available most of the entire summer. I write music for a living so the times I’m away from home will be for premieres and other things but I’ll update my availability to reflect my summer travel (which isn’t a lot). Otherwise I’m free any day. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and my childhood dog lived to be 18, so I have experience with senior pets as well. I can administer medications, I will take them on frequent walks, feed them on their schedule, and have plenty of play time. I have a loving and sweet fur baby named Blossom who is a toy poodle/ bichon frise mix. She is comfortable around dogs and cats and if anything is a little shy. She’s not crate trained so I’d allow your pet to roam freely through the house. Anything I do for Blossom is what I’d do for your baby unless you tell me otherwise, and she’s treated like a princess! I know visits away from home can be a little stressful for your fur baby, but rest assured I can handle any situation and make sure your baby feels at home. Expect many pictures and videos! I live a little bit outside of Ann Arbor but getting to me from Ann Arbor would be a short drive. My neighborhood is very dog friendly so it will be no problem! I care for my pet A LOT throughout the day, so walks, feeding, play time, anything is completely a part of my daily routine. I take Blossom on walks numerous times a day so if you have a pet that isn’t house trained yet, I think having her around will be helpful for them to learn how. If in my home, everything is already safe for pets to be there. I don’t have any carpet so I’m not concerned about pet messes, I can clean them up easily. I’m very attentive to my own pet and would be just as attentive to your fur baby. I’d invite you to come see my place before your pet’s stay to see if it’d be a good fit. If in your place, I will follow any rules you have for me.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family or friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I currently work a full time job. My daily and weekly work schedule are morning shifts and a few weekends, I can be flexible for the needs of your loved ones. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is more best for their loved one. Whatever is comfortable for them and what they are used to.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 20 years. I’ve read training books and love them just like my own dog. I will treat your dog like a VIP- Very Important Pup! I can care for dogs anytime after 5. I can take them on nice long walks that are enriching. I will make sure your pup has fun and is nice and tired. I will make sure your pet is safe and care for them just like as they were my dog. Dogs are truly loyal and kind and need to be cared for.
