“Diana was great! Our dog is sweet, but not the easiest to walk. She didn’t really mind his quirks and seemed very comfortable with him-70 pounds. Would definitely ask her again! Her communication was timely and she came over for a meet and greet before her first walk. Thank you!”


“We have just recently hired Lindsey to walk our german shepherd on a weekly basis. She has been great to work with. She communicates well with us and is quick to respond to messages. She has been flexible with schedule changes. She messaged right away when she noted our dog had not eaten her morning food, concerned that maybe she was not feeling well.”

“Shelby is completely awesome!!!! Very communicative, dependable, and obviously cares for all animals. I’m stuck on the 2nd floor due to a broken leg, so she has really helped me in a jam!”


About: I’ve taken care of quite a few dogs & cats! I have 2 fur babies of my own a dog & cat! I look forward to meeting you’re fur baby!! I’m pretty open! I’m currently in school & work 1-2 days a week! Other than that i have a pretty open schedule & am looking forward to meeting you’re fur baby! I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! Whether it’s at you’re home or mine I’ll make sure there fed & taken out and loved!

“Emily is super professional and terrific to work with. My puppy remembered her from their walk about 3-4 weeks ago. He greeted her enthusiastically and was so happy to see her when she came to take him for another walk.”


About: I’d first like to make clear, about the bad review I got on my page, the lady came and left her dog for 2 seconds and came back. I did nothing to the dog didn’t even get chance to watch it. That was at my home I lived in for years, I had recently torn up the flooring in house, carpets, tiles etc to put new stuff down eventually! But there was floors, and house was clean as always is! And also bags were of clothes because I had plans to take to laundry mat due to not having working washer or dryer at that time. But now have a new home in Rochester hills, it’s very clean, if you have any specific questions feel free to ask, if you’d like to come inside and see please just ask don’t hesitate. I’m an open book and very understandable person. Is my house like a 5 star hotel/motel maybe no, but it’s clean always, dogs will be fed and cared for, I have children yes, but has never stopped me from taking good care of anyone’s pets in the past, I used to have regulars but my old phone got broken and lost all their numbers, they loved me and my children. Even they’d tell you I did amazing with their pets, I treat them as if their my own, I’ve been a animal lover all my life, would never take on more than I can handle, but yes is it loud sometimes at home yes, hence having children lol do my kids have a lot of energy yes, but most pups and dogs have liked it in past and recently cared for dogs as well. We go outside a lot, also to parks for walks and take any dog we may have with us, also to dog friendly beaches! If a home with children that maybe loud at times and overly excited meeting new ppl and pets is too much for you then I’m not the sitter for you, but I promise if it is fine, my kids are harmless, we adore all dogs, always have. We let them sleep with us or on couches unless owners don’t want or approve. Whatever it is you wanna know or need me to know please never be afraid, I know our pets be just like family or even our own babies to us. I will care for your pet and always respond to any messages, always send pictures and updates as well, I like to keep ppl updated as much as I can, but do get busy as I’m taking care of my children and the dog or dogs if owners say are okay with others. But either way still inform all. Just wanted to be clear, I will clean them up if ever get too dirty as well. So they go back home just as adorable as they came, due to mud or dirt or weird stuff not because of my children just to explain that. Lol I am very honest and real person and would never hide nothing, had that lady just asked instead of judging she would of seen like others how good I am with their beloved pets. Thank you for your type and I promise you won’t regret your pick! 😁 Have a blessed day! Currently not working so have plenty of time for the dog. 🙂🩷 I enjoy time at home and with a cute fur friend and so do my children, we lost our puppy 2 years ago, a neighbor ran her over sadly. When I had someone watching her. So we enjoy just visiting someone else pup/dog now. I feed them, as the owner wishes, whatever times they say and how many times they say they eat. If they allow little bits of human food I do sneak them a piece of something but again only if owners say okay! I take them out as much needed for every dogs potty breaks differ, also if ppl like their dogs in cages while I may be out during certain times they can’t come with us, we put them in the cage if asked by owner that they bring along, or just let the dog run free in home. Never gone for more than 2 hours tops when sitting tho!

“Emily has been helping me out with Charlie for several months. She always takes good care of Charlie and takes him on a nice long walk around the neighborhood. I know Charlie looks forward to her visits, he gets excited when I tell him "Emily's coming today ". Very happy with the service she provides.👍”



About: Hi, I’m Bree — a passionate dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and ages! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and worked with rescue organizations to help dogs find their forever homes, so I truly understand how to build trust and provide a calm, loving environment. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or extended stays, I always prioritize your dog’s physical exercise, mental stimulation, and emotional well-being.

I’m available for regular walks, check-ins, and quality time throughout the day, and I love incorporating outdoor activity into my routine. Your pup will always have my full attention and care, without being rushed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your routine closely, ensure secure leash handling, and respect your home as if it were my own. I always do a quick check for hazards before walks, use positive reinforcement, and stay in communication with updates, so you always know your pup is in good hands.

“My jack russell, Polly, had a wonderful time with Jay! He was a great communicator, took lots of pictures for me, and overall took great care of my crazy pup! Thanks so much Jay! I would absolutely recommend him to others!”



About: I have been volunteering at Humane Society of Macomb and have fostered all sorts of pets from bottle-fed kittens to giant labs. I have 3 pets (4 if you count my beloved fish!) and have grown up around animals and am super comfortable with all types. I am very flexible and willing to make multiple trips to your home. I do have a part time job but I can definitely work around it. I unfortunately cannot bring a pet to my home but I am willing to visit your home. I am very flexible and able to come to the house at any time working around my part time job. I am willing to make multiple trips to look after your pets and am open to anything like dog walking, feeding the pets, playing with the pets, and cleaning up after them. I am very experienced with all types of pets and understand how to read pet body language. I will be willing to work out the perfect schedule for taking care of your pet and will make sure everything you need is done.

“Tyler was wonderful!! My dog is afraid of everyone but he took quickly to Tyler, even layed down by his feet! That’s a biggie for my dog. Tyler is very personable, respectful and trustworthy and I will not hesitate to use him again.”


About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.

About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My best friend had a farm growing up. I have always lived with dogs, bunnies, geckos, frogs, cats, you name it! I love pets and would treat yours no less then if they were my own:) Pets are family too! At the moment I just came home from overseas and I am here from the summer so I currently do not have a job although I am looking for a part-time one. However, until then my weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day. I know animals (especially dogs) need lots of love, attention, and exercise. I love to take walks and always enjoy a furry companion. Fresh water is important, enough potty breaks and definitely make sure they have a full belly! I’ll make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you’re gone;)

About: We love all pets and would love to care for your animals as they were our own. We are willing to do drop in visits, walks, and overnight stays. We both grew up with dogs and understand the attention and care that is needed. We have a flexible schedule where we would be able to care for your pets. Our schedule are different each week, but would love to hear from you to see if we would be a good fit for your pets! We can take your dog to the dog park to get some of their energy out. We also would love to take your dog for a hike or a run.
