House Sitting Zilwaukee

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience and my genuine passion for caring for animals. I have over four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a variety of settings, giving me the skills and confidence to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have worked in both doggy daycare and boarding facilities, where I cared for groups of dogs every day. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, monitoring dog behavior, ensuring safe interactions, feeding, administering medications when needed, and providing individualized care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. In addition to my professional experience, I have volunteered as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. Working with shelter dogs has given me experience handling dogs that may be shy, fearful, or still learning to trust people. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also provided pet care for friends, family, and members of my local community, caring for dogs in their own homes while their owners were away. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving pets companionship and love, I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and maintaining excellent communication with pet owners. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my weekly routine. I am a full-time student at Saginaw Valley State University and a member of the SVSU Dance Team, but I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to working around my classes and practices to meet the needs of my clients. I understand that pets rely on consistency, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight care whenever my schedule allows. I plan my time carefully so I can provide dependable, high-quality care and give every pet the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, overnight companionship, or care while you’re away for several days, I strive to be as flexible and reliable as possible. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’m passionate about, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else's care can be a big decision, which is why I take every step to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and comfortable. I create a calm and welcoming environment for your dog or cat, where they can feel at ease while you're away. Whether it’s keeping their routine consistent, providing plenty of mental and physical stimulation, or simply offering lots of love and attention, I’m committed to treating your pet like my own. I take safety seriously, with constant supervision, secure areas for play, and a vigilant eye to ensure no accidents happen. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll be fully attentive to your pet's needs and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always feel connected.

“Sarah was wonderful and I would definitely use her again. She was responsible and great with our dog who was on meds when she cared for him and did a fantastic job!”

“My babies are my children and I’m a nervous wreck about leaving them with anyone just for a few hours, let alone a 9 day trip! Shannon stayed in my home and cared for my three animals the whole time and I couldn’t be more happy with how she cared for them. We even have a pet camera and were able to check in from time to time and she treated my home respectfully, my animals as her own, and kept in contact with me as much as I needed! She was never annoyed at how much I wanted to keep in contact, respected how I wanted my animals cared for and just followed through with everything. I truly can’t say enough great things about Shannon and will be using her to care for our babies as long as she’s willing! Shannon is extremely flexible, kind, so so sweet, and a huge animal lover. My animals loved her and clung to her from the second they met and I just couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them! I truly could go on forever with how pleased I am. Absolutely recommend!”

Our girls were taken great care of. Kaitlyn is a go to for dog sitting now. She also had great communication and sent tons of photos.”

“Heather did a great job giving us updates and keeping all of our animals happy and safe. Even had to deal with a local power outage with no issues. Definitely will book again!”

“Allie was OUTSTANDING! It was not an easy choice selecting a stranger to stay in our home with our doggies. However, from the moment she arrived for our first visit so she could meet the dogs, you could tell she knew exactly what she was going. Our dogs were in great hands and she sent so many photos and updates that we never had a reason to even wonder how things were going. You won't regret booking with her!”

Tyler D.

“Wonderful sitter! My babies love her, will definitely be booking again!”

Abigail R.

“Levi spent the weekend at my house with my two dogs and I was very pleased with how it all went. It rained all weekend long AND there were tornado watches. One of my dogs gets pretty anxious with thunder but I felt good knowing she had Levi here with her. He was very communicative with me throughout the weekend. He even called me to let me know that we had some water in our basement from the storm and asked what he could do to help with it! I'd say he went over and above. House was tidy upon our return and the dogs were in good spirits. I've already booked another stay with Levi for July.”

Mary B.

“Maria was great with two rather rambunctious and needy dogs! Having her stay with them while I traveled was a tremendous comfort for the dogs and me alike.”

Audrey S.

“Megan stayed at our house for a week with our pit mix who can have some separation anxiety. She was fantastic we highly recommend her. Our house was spotless when we got home and our dog was well taken care of. Her communication is great and we got lots of photos. We will definitely book her again.”

“Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏”

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

“Morgan was amazing and super flexible! I unexpectedly had to extend my trip and she thankfully was able to stay an extra night. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve.

“Michelle is amazing! Our two dogs just love her and her girls! She is very professional and makes sure she has all the details ironed out when you book with her. It is very apparent that she loves animals and our pups are very happy when she's here. She sends updates and pics throughout the day. It's a big relief to know that we don't have to worry about our dogs while we are gone because we have Michelle! We will definitely be repeat customers!”

About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old beginning with training/raising my own dog. Since then friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk feed play with and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and that’s why I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra patient, I will provide dependable, loving care to treat them like one of my own, so you have peace of mind when you are away! Pet care is already apart of my daily routine. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need, fit easily into my schedule I plan my days to make sure everybody gets the time care and love they deserve whether it’s a quick drop and visit a long walk or an overnight care. I am committed to keeping your pet happy comfortable and on their normal routine.
