Pet Sitting Acme

“My Joey was happy and well taken care of when I came home. Nicole was a great communicator and so kind and loving toward my cat, I will definitely ask her back next time I'm away!”

Sarah R.

“Paigg is amazing, she picked up our last minute request and sent lots of photos of our fur babies. I felt totally comfortable knowing she was caring for our pets while we were away. I’d definitely book with her again!”

Hattie K.

“Mackintosh took wonderful care of my dogs, dropping in to feed them and play with them to get some energy out. Their attention to detail and communication was great and I knew the girls would be taken care of. I could tell from the pictures they loved Mackintosh’s visits and they were having a great time. I’m glad Mackintosh is on Rover and will definitely be booking them again the next time I need someone to take care of the girls!”

About: I've never met a pet I didn't like! With experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils, turtles, aquarium critters and more, I guarantee I will be able to lovingly care for your pet while you're away. My own cat has medical issues, so I am very comfortable giving medications. I was also in 4-H for 8 years, raising cats and rabbits. As a teacher, my weekday availability is before 7 am, and after 3 pm. On the weekends I am quite flexible and happy to spend my time taking care of and loving on animals. I am extremely responsible and good at following detailed directions. I love a good checklist! When I stop by, I will send you plenty of photos to let you know how your loved one is doing while you're away.

About: I have been watching dogs since I was in high school for neighbors but recently took up watching dogs seriously in the last year or so. I worked at a private country club in California for the last year and was very involved in watching members dogs. This included taking them for walks, stopping in for daily visits while owners are away or spending multiple nights, sometimes up to a week staying with dogs. This has included many different breeds ranging from schitzus to giant poodles. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I work from home as a freelancer in the golf industry so my schedule is completely flexible to your needs. I am available for morning walks, lunchtime walks and evening walks. I follow clients directions very carefully and can play with, walk or entertain your dog as long as you request. I love caring for animals.

“Our kitties were well taken care of and the daily updates were much appreciated. I would definitely book Elizabeth again!”

“Abby is so friendly and accommodating! Absolutely wonderful to work with and my fur kids love her.”

Nicole B.

“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Michelle took great care of our cat! Will book again”

About: Every dog is different, just like every person! I love getting to know different personalities of pups and tending to their specific needs. I've been in the animal sitting business for 9+ years (Horses, Dogs, Cats, Pigs, you name it) and I absolutely love being able to keep your family safe and active! I am available 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and all day Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm absolutely willing to go on short walks or long hikes, depending on the preference of your pup and you! I'm more than happy to come to your home so your pup feels as comfortable as possible! I'm so looking forward to working with you and your family! See you soon, folks!

“Kimberly and her family are fantastic. They have been watching our fur-baby since Sept 2019 (my husband and I both work full time). Kimberly has been extremely easy to work with. She even took our dog for a week when I got married out of state. She treats him like her own. He gets all the kisses and loves he could want. They have an older fur baby at their home named Paisley. She's a sweetie and shares the couch/bed with my dog. I receive pictures through out the day of my baby. Kimberly has came to my house to let him out and I've also dropped him off at hers. Her house is clean and orderly. They have a fenced in back yard. She has dealt with everything I've thrown her way, including giving Mickey medication, changing a bandage on his foot after surgery, she also helped when he decided he did not want to eat dog food anymore. I have no concerns when it comes to my dog being cared for by her, she takes care of him as if he was her own. Book her, you won't be disappointed!”

About: I grew up in a small town in Northern Michigan where animals weren't just pets, they were part of everyday life. Surrounded by dogs, cats, and farm animals from a young age, I developed a natural comfort and respect for animals that only comes from experience. Growing up with American Bulldogs taught me early that strong, high energy dogs require patience and confidence, but mostly just a whole lot of love. Starting in middle school, family and friends began trusting me with their pets, and through that I've learned there's no adventure or day that isn't better with a furry friend by your side. My most hands on experience includes caring for three dogs at once with very different needs: a yellow Lab puppy with endless energy, a senior black Lab requiring mobility assistance, and a spirited Shih Tzu who was unaware of her age and physical limitations. Managing all three taught me how to balance high energy, gentle handling, and individual attention all under one roof. Having just graduated this spring from college, my schedule is accommodative in all the right ways. I just moved back home to the Grand Traverse Area and are currently looking for some extra work as I get re-established to the area I've accommodated pets of all leisure and am happy to follow the rules you have in place. I drive a reliable truck and have the flexibility and energy to give your pet the attention they desire. I take your space, your routines, and your trust seriously, and having worked professionally as a house cleaner, leaving things tidy and respected is just how I operate.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, I’ve had the joy of building lasting relationships with pets and their people. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, rescues with trauma histories, high-anxiety pups, and velcro dogs who thrive with extra attention and reassurance. I also have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, including Chihuahuas, Australian Cattle Dogs, Huskies, German Shepherds, Labradors, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and plenty of lovable mixed breeds. Whether your dog is small and shy, big and strong, or somewhere in between, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities. Since starting on Rover this summer, I’ve completed multiple house sitting and dog sitting gigs, both short and extended stays. This includes week-long stays for two different clients—one with two dogs and another with one—and several short-term boarding stays in my home earlier in the season. (Note: I’m currently not offering boarding, but I do offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in care!) In the past, I spent six years caring for a client’s dog while they traveled annually to Peru, staying in their home for about two weeks each year. During those visits, I handled daily walks, feeding, and plant care. I’ve also provided weekly dog walks for a client with two dogs, and many of my clients include plant care as part of my services while they’re away. My clients appreciate that: 🕒 I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can offer more one-on-one time and consistent care. 🐾 I don’t have any pets of my own, so I’m a great match for dogs who don’t do well around other animals or need a calm, focused environment. 🐕‍🦺 I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on multiple daily walks, hikes, lake adventures, dog park trips, or whatever their favorite activities are. 🧸 I also love to spoil dogs with attention, treats (with permission), and pup cups! I’m great at following your dog’s regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in your absence. I also offer regular photo updates so you can stay connected while you're away. Whether you need someone to keep your pup active during the day, provide loving in-home overnight care, or water your plants while caring for your dog—I’m here to provide reliable, personalized, and compassionate care. As a self-employed professional with a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pup. I make your pet’s care a priority—whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special needs, or providing extra enrichment throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits your dog’s unique personality and lifestyle. I also offer long-term and recurring services for clients looking for reliable, consistent support and peace of mind. When caring for pets—whether in your home or mine—safety is always my top priority. I carefully check the space for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep anything dangerous out of reach. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised, and comfortable environment. Trust is essential in building strong relationships with both pets and their people. I have years of hands-on experience, glowing reviews, and a long list of happy clients who regularly refer me—all of which reflect my dedication and consistency. I also pride myself on being a clear and responsive communicator, so you’ll always be in the loop with regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost care and respect. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, or quiet time in their favorite spot. I make sure they always have access to food, fresh water, and a cozy, clean place to rest. My goal is to keep your pet happy, relaxed, and feeling at home—even when you're not there.

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter in Grand Rapids (Mackenzie’s Animal Shelter) before I moved to Traverse City taking care of dogs & cats. I watch my parent’s dog often & have had two cats. I absolutely love animals & would love to spend parts of my day with yours! Especially before I get a dog of my own. I work from home so I can be a bit flexible with time of day etc. I currently work from home. Outside of my meetings, I can be flexible during my lunch & after work hours as needed. I work for UPS/Shipstation so I am in the logistics industry! My cat is spoiled! She has her play time & cat TV on during to keep her occupied/comfortable while I am working. She usually lays right next to me while I work.

“Highly recomend James. He helped me during a family emergency, came the same day I contacted him for the meet and greet. Started right away. And took great care of my aging Border Collie. She's a picky eater and James went above and beyond to make sure she ate, ( she dosen't allways eat when im gone). I honestly never write reviews for anyone, but I am definitely impressed. Thank you so much James, for taking such good care of my Casey dog.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with Tiffany. We have never left our dogs alone for that long of a time and they were very calm and happy when we returned. She sent us pictures and communicated on how the dogs were doing while we were gone. We will definitely use Tiffany again!”

Holly R.

“Megan was always on time and communicated well during each visit including great pictures! Megan went above and beyond for our kitties making sure they got their meds and cleaning up after them. I will definitely re-book Megan in the future!”

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience, work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.
