House Sitting in Wolcott Mills

“Melissa was great, She arrived on time or early. She fed the cats according to my schedule. She updated me with photos. She even put my dishes up and took my trash out to the curb.”

“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”

About: Hi! My name is Callahan. I’m a recent graduate from Eastern Michigan University. I come from a family of animal lovers with cats, a dog, and even bunnies. I have my own cat baby who has feline asthma and other medical conditions. I am very comfortable caring for cats with medical conditions and administering pills. I also love dogs and am comfortable taking care of them. I am looking for full time employment with my public health degree right now so I am available to watch your pets anytime other than a few select dates. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I have a small apartment so I will not be able to care for pets in my home but would love to drop in or stay for services at others

“Byron took good care of our dogs over the weekend. Our home was as we left it upon return. Byron showed up in a timely manner, and met our dogs 2x before staying the weekend with them. He made sure they were familiar with him, which was appreciated.”

“Lauren stayed with my dogs for a week for my destination wedding. I’ve never had a house/dog sitter before and I was pretty nervous, but I didn’t want to board my dogs for a week, and obviously our whole family was going to be out of town for our wedding. Lauren was awesome with communicating and always on time. She sent pictures and texts every day. I was a little nervous the first couple days and she always responded right away to my checking in texts and put my mind at ease. It was so convenient to have someone at the house while we were gone, to pick up mail and packages, and to not have the house look deserted too. We will definitely use Lauren again.”

About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adult hood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding about all different types of dogs. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and my current position as a vet tech assistant. I work part time as well as being a student so my availability varies week to week. However, my schedule has never interfered with any past dog sitting obligations. I can provide safe and loving visits during the day for playtime, a walk or just coming to hangout with your fur baby. I will make sure your pet stays happy and healthy whenever i'm around!

About: I have been relied on by my friends and relatives to take care of their dogs for 15 years. They have trusted me to watch their home and their dogs when they need someone. I have some experience administering oral medicine (pills) to dogs. Currently, I am available most times and days for pet care. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am possibly not available from about 11:30am-2:30pm because I walk my sister's puppy then, but it is only when she needs me. I will happily visit or stay at your home to care for your pet. I am great at following directions and will happily do whatever you need me to do to care for your pet how you want me to or how your pet is used to being cared for.

“Anna was very flexible and took great care of my dogs while I was away. She communicated well and gave me updates until I was home. My dogs were all comfortable with her immediately and my house was well taken care of.”

“Sierra did a wonderful job taking care of our Winston. She was professional and we felt safe that Winston was in great care. We have a doggie cam, so we could see Winston with Sierra together playing. I would recommend her and will use her the next time we go out of town.”

About: Ever since I was a teenager, family, friends, and neighbors have relied on my to pet-sit and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. Similar to my approach with cats, I introduce myself with confidence, caution, and respect while paying attention to the dog's body language. I've had the pleasure of meeting many dogs ranging from energetic ones that pull hard when walking, to low-energy dogs that either want light play or may have chronic pain. Whatever the case is, I'm quick to learn how to befriend them! I'm a recent graduate with a Computer Science degree, looking for full-time software work. The job search has been very slow to yield results, so I have very open availability while I search. As long as I'm not already booked on a given day, I'm open on any day of the week and at any time (including evenings). Unfortunately due to the pickiness of my two cats, Charlie and Pim, I'm unable to have any pets brought to my home. Regarding caring for pets at a client's home, I'm open to visits lasting many hours, or making multiple visits in a day. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs, and can care for other mammals (I have minimal experience with reptiles and birds). As long as I have detailed notes on your pet's routine and special care instructions, I'll work diligently to ensure their daily routine sees minimal disruption while you're gone!

About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Mary was very good with our dogs! She kept us informed and sent several photos to us. We will reach out to her again when we need help with caregiving again!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had loving but sassy golden retriever, she was so nurturing and maternal we nicknamed her Nanny Girl. She always groomed and watched over us kids but also our cats lol! I then was blessed to spend 12 wonderfully sweet years with my black lab. He was such a spunky, funny pup and grew into the sweetest, most gentle little old man. I miss him terribly, but I am not quite ready to get another dog. I frequently dog/cat sit for family and friends and I still have boxes of toys left for your pup to play with. I remember the stress and worry of leaving your fur baby behind and in the care of someone else when going on vacation. I can promise you that I will love and spoil your fur baby as if they were my own. I work from home full time so I will be with your dog all day (with the exception of a possible quick errand). I can accommodate any needs that your dog has. If they are high energy I am very familiar with lots of parks, trails and dog parks in the area to run and play and get all that energy out. If they have slowed down a bit I have a comfy couch and lots of blankets to snuggle up with and toys to play at their pace with. I work remotely, so I am able to be with your pet all day. We can go out for walks frequently or if medication needs to be administered throughout the day I am available to do that. I am very clean and am overly cautious when taking pups outside. I always make sure they are on their leash securely and stay alert for things going on around us.

“Gabby gave us great peace of mind while we were gone for 4 days, the first time we had ever used Rover and left our dog with someone other than family! Our dog and house were well cared for and she gave great updates, often with perfect timing throughout the day when we were starting to wonder how he was doing. We have great confidence in reaching out to her for future trips!”

About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I love caring for animals and having them around. They bring true joy to my life . I have taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats.I have had clients, that I cared for and also cared for their animals. I am accustomed to feeding, bathing, walking, cuddling, playing, and training dogs, cats, bunnies, and would consider exotic animals. I am truly a lover of all animals. They provide us with undconditional love and companionship. It is one of the best things life has to offer. I took in my amazing cat Ziggie who was a stray and drawn to me. He kept visiting us. He was truly a remarkable part of our family. We had him for 9 years and found out he had asthma, scar tissue on his lungs at the age of 5. The vet was unsure how long he would live for, but with treatments and lots of love he lived to be almost 14 years of age after fighting lymphoma. I learned to take care of a very special boy. He was so affectionate and came to me when I needed his companionship. I became use to giving him medications and having to monitor his condition daily with his cancer. It was tough but the first round of chemo, he kicked it. Then when it came back he got sick and deteriorated very quickly. It's very sad but I also remember the positivity and joy he left with me in my heart and memories. I've grown up with 3 different dogs and cared for them as a young girl, I developed such a wonderfdul bond with them. I care for my friend's puppy and train him when she needs a sitter. He stayed with us for 9 days when his owner went out of town. We trained him, fed, bathed, groomed, and walked this sweet little 4 month old Jack Russell. We just love him he is like a part of our family now and spends over night visitas with me. I have experience caring for birds, when I was a young girl I had 2 parakeets that I cared for. They were really great when they sat on my shoulder. It was quite amusing to me. Any opportunity to care for an animal warms my heart and creates a bond that is life long. I am thankful to have had so many wonderful opportunities to form such bonds. I am currrently working part time . I can arrange shifts around my schedule. This allows me more flexibility so I can work with animals. I have nice parks close to my home, that I can take pets to for their walks. I can do the same at your home. I can crate the pet when it is necessary.

About: I’ve always loved animals. I got the opportunity to work at a dog groomer as a bather for all different breeds & sizes. Great experience learning for dogs who aren’t familiar with you! As of now I work full time during the week days (7-4). Although would be willing to do check ins and walks on week days. Therefore my flexibility currently is on the weekends. I’ll be transitioning to a hybrid schedule later in the year I only currently offer staying/ watching your animals in their own home. I unfortunately can’t have animals at my current house I reside in as of now.

About: I have taken care of all ages, but my specialty is seniors. I am great with furry friends that love a strict schedule as well as those that go with the flow. I am great at hiding icky medicine in their favorite foods. I am also active and would love to go on walks or play fetch with the energetic babies. I truly enjoy pet care, and at this time I am available on the weekends and an odd Friday. I am able to pop in for check-ins and potty breaks or stay full time. I am great at following instructions for your pets care. I always clean up after watching fur babies and try to leave the place better than I found it. I bring my own food most often as well.

About: I am puppy school certified and i have over 15 years of senior dog experience and everything in between. I would love to spend some time taking care of dogs I am a healthcare worker currently working monday-wednesday. I have a lot of spare time on my off days and would love to play with pups in my spare time! I had to unexpectedly put down my dog of 17 years and I don’t have the heart to get another one, but miss playing with pups in my spare time. I would make sure to keep your place just as a i found it and make certain the animals are taken care for and loved in my presence

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 4 years, providing personalized dog-sitting services for family friends. Growing up with dogs my whole life has taught me how to meet their unique needs, whether it’s offering plenty of playtime, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a set feeding and walking routine. I understand how important it is to make pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pup will be in safe and caring hands! I am available for dog walking anytime of the day. For at home pet care services, I am available on the weekends! Fridays-Sundays are my full availability. In my home or my client’s home, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s regular walks, feeding schedules, or playtime. In my home, pets have access to a cozy, clean environment where they can relax, with plenty of room to stretch out and play. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s routine to reduce any stress while you're away. I always provide regular updates and photos, so you know your pet is in good hands!

“Jorja did a great job with my two older pups. It was her first time with them and they were great. The house was clean and I was very grateful.”
