“I am SOOOOOO impressed with the care that was giving to my FurBabies. If there were 10 Stars I would give Dana 20 Stars. I felt so at ease that my babies were taken care of and most of all that they were being LOVED. Dana came to meet my "kids" and after her visit my Tyler went to the door and cried for her to come back. I was sold at that point. I WILL use Dana again.”
“Barb is a wonderful Pet Sitter. She took care of our two cats during our long vacation and sent daily updates with pictures and details on what was going on. She truly seems to care about the animals she watches and I greatly appreciated the regular insights. I highly recommend her.”
“Kristin did an outstanding job of caring for my cat while I was in hospital. I greatly appreciated her flexibility in extending the dates more than once, and the pics I received daily always showed a happy kitty enjoying lots of attention. 😸”
About: I have had animals all my life but the dogs were always my thing. As an adult I have had multiple Bully breeds and now Dobermans. I am skilled in exercise, training, and elder care. Special attention to mental and physical fulfillment. A tired dog is a well behaved one! My dogs are a way of life. They enjoy daily sessions of training, exercised, play, and of course cuddles. Most weekends consist of hiking in the local State Recreation Areas. I have a large fenced in yard, a large dog friendly home, and two large sized friendly playmates. I practice proper introduction and patience to ensure all dogs are comfortable with one another. This usually looks like a group walk before dogs are able to mingle so that they accomplish a common goal and view one another as pack members before having the freedom to play.
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.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent over 10 years as a paid pet sitter, but truly, my experience began in childhood, surrounded by pets I adored and cared for. Most recently, I spent two years in Peru providing long-term care for beloved pets while their families were away for months at a time. During that time, I managed a small farm with 11 animals — horses, dogs, cats, and chickens — each with their own personality and needs. Now back in Michigan pursuing my Master’s in Social Work, I would love nothing more than to spend my days with animals again. I promise to care for your pets as I have always cared for my own, with patience, love, and unwavering attention. I work and attend school from home, which allows me to be present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. While I don’t have classes every day or all day, I have long breaks that I use for walks, playtime, and quality companionship. This flexible schedule means your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while I balance my work and studies. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I understand how important it is to maintain a safe, calm environment for your pets while you’re away. I follow any specific routines and instructions you provide to ensure their needs are met exactly as they’re used to. My priority is to build trust with both you and your pets so they feel cared for and at ease throughout my visits.
About: I have 6 years experience working in a vet clinic along with 3 years boarding/walking and doggy day care experience. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life I am a full time pet care professional. Providing walks and drop-in visits along with boarding. Early morning and evening visits are more than welcome. I have a fully fenced in backyard that I allow dogs to play in under supervision. They will be allowed on furniture and get tons of petting/scratches.
“Matthew was extremely punctual, polite and caring with my two canine daughters. Thank you for putting my mind at ease while I was traveling. I will definitely contact you again when needed.”
“Justine was great! I got home after a week and my kitties seemed so relaxed, and usually after having a sitter they're stressed out. She brings a relaxed vibe. Everything was perfect - I'd book her again in a second, and you should too.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old, I love to play and give them the enrichment that they need. I am currently working full time remotely. I am available everyday of the week after 5 pm, and drop ins during the day if they are close enough! I am available fully on the weekends to check up on your furry friends. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Making sure they get all the love and attention they need. Keeping you updated as much or as little as you would like.
About: My approach is simple: love and respect in exchange for tail wags and belly rubs. As a former middle school teacher, I’ve got patience and understanding down to a science—your dog’s saftey and happiness while your away is my top priority. I work from home 9am-5pm, with an hour break for lunch. Generally, I am available for pet care (walks, feeding, playing) from 7am-9am, 12-1pm, and 5pm-8pm. For overnight care, having a flexible job allows me to address issues as needed (and of course give extra tummy rubs and /or impromptu play time). I do not have a fenced in yard, so I am always cautious to make sure leash and collar are secure before opening the door. I’ve owned pets that stayed in a crate and pets that didn’t. Let me know what you prefer. I pick up after the dogs too 💩
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love all sizes and breeds. I worked at a vet for 4 years with lots of experience in walks, boarding and medications. I have always loved finding ways to keep my pup happy and busy and will do the same for your pup- of any life styles. I work from home full time and take my pup out multiple times a day, including a short walk at lunch as well. I have one dog and very used to active life styles including feeding schedules, walks and medications! It’s important to me that your dogs can continue the life style you want to give them! I will never let your dog off their leash outside, and will ensure their collars and harnesses are secure on walks outside as well. And I will keep them active inside if they do not enjoy walks outside or sitting on my patio!
About: I have taken care of dogs for around 4 years. I love all dogs and have two of my own. I can walk, play, feed, and care for your dog! I’m currently a student at Michigan state and am home for winter break. I have a lot of time on my hands and would love to meet your pups. I can play, feed, and care for your pets in your home. I will gladly accommodate to any special requests needed for your pet and am willing to do extra for anything that’s needed
About: I’m a total dog lover who’s happiest when I’m around pups! I am a dog mom to a Cavachon who always keeps me on my toes! Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m all about making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m here to provide care that fits them just right. If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and will treat yours like a best friend, I’m your person! I am a teacher by day, but can walk and play with your animal after school hours(3:30 onward) and weekends. I will have more availability this summer. Please reach out if you have any questions, I may be able to work things around! I carefully supervise interactions, especially during introductions, and create a calm environment that minimizes stress and overstimulation. I follow any specific instructions provided by owners, maintain consistent routines, and use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. Whether it’s on walks or during playtime, I stay alert and proactive to prevent any potential issues, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care!
