“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Though I had a change in careers, I was studying animal-assisted therapy while working on my MSW and still plan to do some type of therapy-dog volunteering after I retire from working. On days that I am not busy with my 4 kiddos, I’m working on becoming a bookkeeper. Dog walking or check-ins sound like a nice break from studying! I will of course come prepared by reading any notes you have. Most dogs seem to know I’m a dog-lover, but I always approach calm and steady while I get to know a new dog.
“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”

I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance.

About: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
About: Leaving your pet is always the worst part of vacation for us as humans… but it doesn’t have to be for your fur baby! My name is Morgan and I have worked with animals for over 10 years dog sitting, dog walking, working as a vet assistant and working at shelters. In 2018 I began my interest in dog behavior and began the process of becoming a certified dog trainer. Whenever I would board my dog I would always come back feeling so guilty. I could tell my rescue dogs were never happy or comfortable and my high energy breeds just simply weren’t getting enough exercise or stimulation. I like many others have had my own dogs get hurt or develop concerning behaviors due to traditional boarding situations. I now do Dog Training, Boarding, and daycare full time and am on the Junior Board for Bissell Pet Foundation. I offer species appropriate biologically fulfilling play. Your dogs routine will be personalized based on their age, breed, and background. Our 6 foot fenced in back yard offers plenty of neurological stimulation while avoiding the stimuli of community and my schedule completely revolves around the dogs care so I am able to fulfill your fur baby mentally and physically. On Occasion, I can do in home stays as well based on my partners work schedule and his availability to stay with our personal dogs. Due to my vet background I am trained in emergency situations and can administer almost all types of medication. I love all types of dogs of all ages and can’t wait to meet yours! **PLEASE NOTE** I am a fully insured and licensed in home dog boarding service. I watch multiple dogs in my home at a time and at this time, I do not have the set up to care for dogs that not get along with other dogs. I do pet care full time so I am able to provide around the clock care for any pet! On the occasion that I have to run an errand dogs are gated or crated based on their individual needs. I live on a couple acres in Alto Mi with a very large fenced in yard! I have 3 very friendly fur babies to keep your dog company! Dogs are allowed to come and go from indoors and outdoors as they please!
“Absolutely super. I would not hesitate to use her again if we were in the area. Traveling thru and went over to Mackinac for the day and decided to leave the dog and wanted her to have some walks and stimulation.”

About: I have 14 years of experience as a pet owner and 8 years of experience as an animal sitter/walker. I have a large husky, a medium sized mixed-breed dog and a senior cat. My dogs are high energy so I walk them multiple times per day. I love walking and playing with dogs and will treat your pets as my own. I can handle large and small animals and have years of experience walking a variety of dogs and cats. I offer pet walking and check-ins. I have experience with a special needs cat and dog and can administor medicines. Hanging out with animals is my favorite thing to do. You won't find anyone who enjoys playing with your fur babies more. I work Monday through Friday 8-5pm remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I am available on mornings, afternoons, evening, and weekends. I am also available on holidays. I would spend time with your pet to make sure they are happy and comfortable while you're away. I love playing with pets and will have fun keeping them entertained.
About: I personally have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. My one pup, which recently passed, was a small Shi-Tzu/Chihuahua female, who was spunky and loved to play and cuddle. My current dog who is living back in Michigan is a 5 year old Husky male mix. He is a rescue pup, flown in from Lebanon (the country!) after a vet found him severely wounded in the streets. He loves to run, and is the biggest attention hog now! I also have had 3 cats, 1 currently- a fluffy orange tabby who is an absolute dork but lovable nonetheless. He does not currently live in the apartment with me, so I miss him dearly. It is quite rare for me to meet an animal I don't feel comfortable around! I am currently working part-time and control my hours, so I am extremely flexible with whatever needs your fur babies may need! I do not have any current vacations planned either. I'm always cautious of safety for any animal. I like to get as many details from the owners on what their animal likes/dislikes so that I can create a comfortable environment for them.
“I am a return client who would recommend Ashleigh to anybody who owns a dog. She’s great at communicating and is perfect with my pups. I will be using her again in the future as always.”
