“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”
“Eric is an excellent Dog Sitter! Within minutes he had befriended our oldest cranky Shorkey at the Meet and Greet. When he arrived to sit with our dogs they were actually excited to see him. Eric is a Dog Whisperer and our dogs like him a lot. We really appreciate Eric and will gladly use him again! Thanks for the great communication and pics of our dogs while we were out for the day!”
“Keilyn was so helpful with watching our pup, plus kept us updated with pictures the whole time while she stayed with him! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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!!”
About: I have worked with a lot of high energy dogs so I understand and am willing to do the work that is needed for them. I have also worked with dogs that have had traumatic pasts and have spent time working with them to trust their environment and other people. I am a teacher so I have summers off and weekends free. I am also free after school for those last minute date nights and outings. I have two high energy black labs so I am used to dogs that need long walks and lots of stimulation. I am very comfortable around big dogs as mine are both 80 lbs. I prioritize trust and comfort for the dogs I care for. I work to build a strong bond with dogs I work with in order for both of us to have a good time.
“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
About: I've had all kinds of pets in my life, from bunnies and fish to kitties and dogs! I have experience giving medications, in pill form and injectables (previously had a pet with diabetes), and I'm comfortable with some grooming, like baths and brushouts. I love getting to know everyone's pets and being able to love them like my own -- they become part of my family, too! I have a full time job but find that my hours are perfect for sitting! I have most weekends off as well, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Boarding in my home is a little different. Due to my own animals safety, I do require AT LEAST ONE meet and greet with my dogs to ensure they get along. Your pet will also absolutely need to be okay with cats, and they will need to be crate trained in order to be left at my home. All my dogs are crate trained and are crated when we are not home. There is also a list of vaccines I require your pet(s) to have--I will share these if you're looking to book sitting in my home! Sitting in YOUR home is MUCH different and actually preferable for senior dogs or anxious dogs! I don't like to stress dogs out with an environment change, it can be too much for some dogs and I'd hate to put your pet through that! I will follow all house rules and routines for your pet, and I always clean up after myself and your pet, which includes dishes, changing bedding, laundry (occasionally), vacuuming, etc.!
“Sophie did a great job with our 4 pets and also did us a huge favor by agreeing to pet sit last minute, so we could go home for a funeral. We will definitely use Sophie again!”
“Kathryn is amazing! She is kind, attentive and responsible. I trust her implicitly with my little fur-bean. I’m so happy to have connected with her. She takes the worry and stress out of traveling — I don’t have to worry about my pup or my house when Kathryn is there to take care of everything.”
“Emma was an absolute lifesaver! Our typical sitter had bailed last minute and she was able to accommodate our last minute request. She sent frequent photos and was very responsive throughout the weekend. We'll definitely continue to utilize her going forward!”
About: Pets are like family and I will make sure that your pet is taken care of properly. I am a dependable worker and I am looking for some part time jobs while I work remotely as a research scientist at MSU! I have been a foster mom to kittens and dogs, pet sitter for family friends and am now a cat mom myself. I am comfortable with big or small dogs and I am very good with cats of all ages/ personalities. I am now working remotely for MSU so my schedule is very flexible in terms of watching pets during the work week or on weekends! It is easy for me to pet sit during the day as long as I have WiFi! I am available to take pets on walks of any length, take them to the vet if something should happen while the owner is away and will treat your pet like my own. I have also been in charge of pets with extensive medication schedules so that is something I am available to offer if you have a sick pet!
About: With two years of hands-on experience working in a dog daycare boarding facility, followed by a year at a groomers your pets are in very safe hands! With a flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet, I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for your beloved pets. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch, interactive play sessions, or simply ensuring that your pet feels loved and cared for while you're gone, rest assured that I treat each pet as if they were my own. Your furry friends are in good hands with me!
About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. I have a large yard with room to roam, sniff and play. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and now have a 5 year old Goldendoodle, my lil Shorkie passed at 18 years old. Pets are family to me and I can assure you that they will be in good hands, safe, & loved on. I only work part-time so I have lots of time available to love on your pups, let them out, and take them on walks. I also love taking pictures, so you’ll get plenty during your booking. I will always keep you updated as much as you’d like on all the details you need. When I am not working I am usually home cleaning and doing laundry or out enjoying the nice weather with my family so my schedule is pretty open for a planned vacation or a last minute let out. I will always let your pup out how you prefer and if I’m boarding they will not be left alone for more than a few hours. I will treat your pups like my own. Safety and love are my number one priorities.
