In Gus We Trust

Dog walking & pet sitting in the metro Detroit area

Hey there! I'm Samantha, and I absolutely love taking care of pets. 🐾

I've been surrounded by animals my whole life which has led to a passion for caring for them for as long as I can remember. My mom also dog sits, so it really runs in the family! I've been dog sitting since I was young, learning the ropes from watching her care for our furry visitors.

My beloved lab Gus was my constant companion for 11 wonderful years until he passed away in 2024. He taught me so much about the special bond between pets and their families, and how important it is to provide loving, attentive care.

I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your beloved companion behind. To give you peace of mind, I provide regular updates with photos and messages throughout our time together, so you can see firsthand that your pet is thriving. I believe every animal deserves the same devoted care and attention that I cherished giving to Gus.
