“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”


“Kelly was absolutely amazing with my dog!!! She sent multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day that I was gone. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. Her house was perfect for dogs with a very nice fenced in back yard. She had lots of toys and treats available, and she even had a crate to use since my dog usually sleeps in a crate at night. She asked all about allergies and how she handled being around other dogs. This was my first time ever using Rover and so I was nervous at first but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her before I left. And the entire experience ended up being just perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly and will definitely be using her again!”

“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”


“Ralph was great with our dog summer, she seemed to be at ease with him and the other little dog that was there . If we were in need of a placement in bay city again would use him again”

“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”

“Marv had a great time staying with Jessica and her fellow beagle, Barry. We had just adopted Marv and we were nervous leaving him for so long but he did great and seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We will leave Marv with Jessica and Barry again!”

“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”

“Literally the BEST person for our senior pup! She sent multiple daily updates, treated him really well, and basically spoiled him rotten! She even asked questions about his needs and wants. She referred to herself as “granny” for Benji, and by the end of his stay, Benji and I both agreed that she’s his granny! Ive never used this app before and she was my first person to try boarding with, and it was awesome. Will 100% come back if I need a sitter and 100% recommend her. :)”

“Mitch was great with our dog Zayda. She loved staying at his place with him and his cat and we will definitely use him again. He was super responsive to any text we sent and very accommodating with changes in schedule we had to make.”

“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”

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.
“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”

“Jesse and her family are awesome! She texted me updates and photos of our girl every day. Her two kiddos kept our large puppy very entertained. There is truly no price tag that you can place on peace of mind and that’s exactly what we had while CoCo stayed with Jesse. We would absolutely book Jesse again in the future!”

“Paula, Manny and there pack of fur babies were WONDERFUL for our dog! Our Gus is very young and energetic and is our only dog. Spending time with Paula and Manny and their stable pack was so good for him!! He actually came home much better behaved than when we dropped him off!! This is the first time we've ever used a dog sitter and I was very nervous. Paula understood completely and sent photos and checked in daily! So reassuring. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany was wonderful! She kept me informed daily, took pictures of the puppy Buddy. He always looked happy. And we did a meet and greet and she was great. When we picked Buddy up everything went great. We will definitely be back and refer her to everyone!Exceptional service and kindness.”

“Definitely recommend. Our 3 year dog Gunner had fun with Lynda's other pets & family. She sent updated photos often. We had a great experience & Gunner cant wait for his next sleep over.”
