Kelsey was great! She took care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was great with communication and sending pictures/updates while we were gone.

We are so thankful for Madi! She was able to watch Boomer on super late notice. She was on time for the visits and took a lot of pictures to send us of Boomer while we were away (I love that). She took such great care of Booms and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future :)

Brian was freaking fantastic. They were so attentive to our sweet kitty and went above and beyond to help us out when some packages and mail were left outside. My cat truly found a new buddy and was almost a little disappointed when I walked back in when she realized it wasn’t Brian! Can’t say enough great things!

Katy was super friendly with both human and felines 🐈 💕 I was very much at ease with her coming into our space and she was prompt and communicated above expectation. I will be requesting her for future visits and will be sharing with my family and friends.

Claire has been amazing with our two dogs! She is very responsive in scheduling requests, and you can tell that she loves animals. She is particularly good at working with dogs who have been rescued and take a little warming up to. Oh, and the photography skills are on point too! We look forward to working with her again in the near future!

I had the pleasure of living with Carli as my roommate for the past couple years and can say she is one of the kindest, caring people I have ever met! She will without a doubt do everything she can to ensure comfortability with anyone's pup. She took care of our two cats constantly whenever we were gone, couldn't recommend her more!

Sara has been involved with many pets, growing up with a Brittany Spaniel and a part lab/dalmation as a baby, then having Corgis and a Pomeranian throughout her childhood. Sara has had many cats in her lifetime and has a wonderful sense of humor when working with animals. Sara was an active 4-H member in Kalamazoo County who raised rabbits, pocket pets and also placed highly in Dog Obedience and Dog Showmanship. Sara also has been a dog sitter for our 65 pound German Shephard on several occasions while we've travelled. I’d highly recommend her!

Meghan did great watching my cats while I was away. She was communicative and very nice. She was able to handle special feeding instructions as well as giving medication to my senior cat. My cats always look happy in the pictures I was sent including the younger one playing. I would definitely recommend her.

About: I grew up with outside pets...cats and dogs, and really have a love for animals. Of course, we know that animals can sense if someone is good, or not so great. ;) Most all animals love me! For the last 2 years, I've been with a family that has 4 dogs and 5 cats...inside animals. I'm like their "aunt", when I come to stay! :) I'm really mostly looking for long weekends or vacation times, to where I would stay at your house, with the pets. I also could travel with you and pets, if needed. I would be open to what ever owner needs or wants. Mainly, making sure pets are fed on time or close to on their time, play or activity in the day, walked or let outside for bathroom breaks, etc.

About: I have had my pitbull since he was nine months, and we rescued him from Texas. At the very beginning, he was very scared and he was always shaking. He was also full of fleas and was very dirty but as soon as we got him home, we were able to clean him up without an issue and he knew that he knew that he was going to be taken care of and It was almost as he knew that we were going to care for him as if he was one of our own because now he is one of our own. Ever since we got him, I was the one left in charge to take care of him because everybody knew that no matter what he was going to be taken out to potty to have eaten at the right times and that he would always have lots of playtime. He is a very playful and energetic dog so he loves to run around. I also own a cat who loves to run around sometimes, but he likes to lay down a lot and he loves to snuggle and if there are any accommodations a pet needs that is some thing that I am more than okay with working around. I believe that pets need the best care possible and aren’t just animals, I feel like they are a part of a family and they should always be treated like a part of a family. I’m currently a full-time student and a part-time Employee at FedEx, but I am free anytime Friday or Saturday and Sunday and I can also do mornings on Tuesdays, If we need to fit something else in, we can definitely find something to work it out. I treat Pets with respect because they deserve that as well. And I am always willing to accommodate their needs if there are any needed. I love to play with them because it makes me happy seeing them happy even if they just lay down I would enjoy to be around them.
