House Sitting in Charlevoix

“Patty is amazing! She did a very thorough meet and greet which I appreciated. She stayed in our apartment pretty much the entire time we were gone which was a huge relief for me. She even made friends with our very reactive/skittish dog! Will definitely hire Patty in future!”

“Megan is my favorite dog walker. She is prompt, reliable, energetic, and my dog loves her! I think they go on adventures together. Every time my dog and go for a walk now just the 2 of us, he looks disappointed that I'm not Megan.”

“Ann is Great with dogs ! She is a very responsible women and loves all animals. She has watched my dogs many times and always loves taking them on walks. Highly recommend her !”

“Kristina is a very loving and caring person when it comes to people and animals her animals are her babies she makes them her top priority. I think Kristina would be great for this job considering she spends most of her time with animals where ever she goes if they have animals that is where you can find her.”

“Sally did a wonderful job watching our dog and our house while we were away for the holidays this year. She was very accommodating, considerate and kind, and we would absolutely have her care for our pup again! She sent us pictures or videos every day and helped put our mind at ease. Highly recommend!!”

“Thanks for caring for Ruby during our recent trip! We were able to relax knowing she was in good hands, having some fun and be comfortable in her own home while we were gone. Thank you very much.”

“Margaret was absolutely wonderful, highly recommended! She watched Ava, our 2 year lab, the day before and day of our wedding at the resort. It was comforting knowing our dog was in good hands - Margaret walked her on the trails, let her visit with people, brought her to the photographers when Ava was supposed to be in pictures, and made sure she was not overwhelmed on the day. Overall fantastic. She even took pictures throughout the day of Ava to share with us!”

About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I am a part time college student from 10:15 to 12:15 every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday so I have lots of time to care for pets!! I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.

“Larissa did a great job- our doggy was comfortable with her from the get go… she sent regular updates and pictures… she took great care of the house while we were gone and the place was spotless when we returned. Definitely recommend her!!”

“Deanna was easy to work with and extremely flexible with my last minute booking. She sent updates regularly and lots of photo and a video. She was very communicative and easy to talk to when I had questions about anything at the house. She updated me when my kittys tummy got upset (twice) and made sure everything was okay with her. She respected my home, even taking the trash to the road on trash day and washing the sheets to she used before leaving to ensure I didn’t have to worry about it since we arrived home very late. We will be using Deanna again for our pet care.”

“Renee did a great job! She was very attentive and loving with Marbles. She sent me a picture or two a day, so I could see how he was doing, and that really helped me feel secure while I was away. Marbles was very happy with her. And oh my, she took such good care of the house—it was cleaner than when I left and I cleaned pretty well before I left! Would definitely recommend Renee to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

“I can wholeheartedly recommend Matthew as a dog walker. Matthew is not only reliable and punctual, but also incredibly patient and caring with my dog Charlie. He takes the time to understand my dog's individual needs and always ensures a safe and enjoyable walk. Matthew has never missed a scheduled walk and is always on time. He is also very communicative, letting me know if anything unexpected happens during the walks. Charlie can be quite energetic, but he always handles him with patience and love. He is also very good at recognizing body language and adjusting the walks accordingly. He has a clear understanding of dog behavior and is able to effectively manage any situations that may arise during the walks. Matthew is always willing to work around my schedule and has even offered to walk Charlie on short notice when needed. Overall, I cannot recommend him highly enough as a dog walker. He is a kind, reliable, and experienced dog lover who will take excellent care of your furry family.”

“Koreena is a big lover of all animals and would be a wonderful part of your furry family members life. She takes much pride in her work.”

“Wonderful experience. Katie is a sweet attentive person. She cares for my puppy for a week . And I couldn’t be happier!”

About: Welcome- I am a dog lover who at one time had four dogs. I take great pride in my own home being clean and tidy. As well as caring for my yard and garden in the summer months. I am an animal lover and currently own a ten year old yellow lab and a six year old small mixed breed. My lab loves when I take her to the dog beach in Harbor Springs. The dogs and I hike and walk in the many nature trails here in Northern Michigan. My dogs get along well with other dogs. They love to run around the yard with the neighbor dogs. I would love to walk your dogs or care for them in your home or mine.

“Jennifer is everything I wanted in a sitter - she is super conscientious of both my needs and the needs of my two dogs - I highly recommend her!”

About: I am kind, patient, and full of energy. I worked in past as a Veterinary Assistant, trained in the safe-handling of stressed dogs and cats. I also have several years experience pet sitting and dog walking. For those looking to get their dogs outdoors, I hike and run daily and am always happy to have a pup at my side. Most of my hikes and runs are through gorgeous nature preserves your pup is sure to love. My schedule is flexible. If I commit to care of your pet, then that commitment and care takes priority. Your pet will receive ample attention. When pet sitting, I am very respectful of your home. I am very tidy, never leaving a mess. If there is anything I need to know, please do not hesitate to share. My hope is for you and your pet to be comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I enjoy working with all types of animals and take care of them like they are my own. I work part time throughout the summer and am available most week nights to watch pets. I am also available some weekends and have lots of free time. I will make sure dogs are safely inside their yards or on a leash when outside and will be watching to make sure they are safe inside as well.

About: I am an International yoga teacher who travels too much to have my own pets. Growing up on a farm I’ve had plenty of experience with cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs. I have a very flexible schedule and am available to walk/feed/play with your pets including house sitting. Summer time I’m in Michigan, fall in Europe, Sedona and Northern California and winter in India. A few years ago in Costa Rica I house/pet sit at a resort which has 7 dogs, 2 cats and a bird. I also ran the cottage rentals and took the dogs for a daily beach walk. As a yoga practitioner and energy worker, pets are typically very Zen around me and a quick bond is formed through mutual trust and love.

About: I’ve dog sat ever since I was 15, I am able to stop by the house, stay at the house whatever is needed. I have also grown up around dogs my whole life. I’ve worked with dogs with anxiety and such and I love giving them a fun time while their owners are gone. I’m flexible with times and the dogs schedule. Reach out to me and see if we would be able to find days and times that work for you! I care for pets in the clients home by providing a safe loving environment and play time while the owners are gone. I love all dogs as much as my own and hope to help some families out.
