About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care – Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs! 🐾 Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets—playful puppies, curious kittens, gentle seniors, and animals with disabilities or special needs. 🐶🐱💕 I previously worked at an animal shelter, which gave me extensive experience handling pets of all temperaments and situations. I’m extremely comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, and injections if needed) and I always make sure every animal gets the extra love and attention they deserve. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I always make time for your pets—stopping by during my hour lunch break for walks, potty breaks, feeding, or just some midday snuggles and care. When I’m off the clock, I’m available to be at your home as much as you'd like, and I frequently stay overnight to keep pets happy and stress-free in their own space. Best of all, I'm completely free on weekends, so I can dedicate my full attention to your furry family members all weekend long. Whether it’s for a quick check-in or a full weekend of love and care, I’m here to treat your pets like family—with compassion, patience, and a whole lot of tail wags and purrs. ❤️ Let’s chat and make sure your beloved companions get the care they deserve! I work full time Monday through Friday but I do have an hour lunch break where I can stop by and let animals out and feed them if needed. When I am not at work, I am available to be at your home as much as you would like me there. I frequently stay in peoples homes with their pets. I am off work on weekends so I can dedicate the entire weekend to your furry babies. I do not usually watch animals in my own home, other than cats who are not outdoor cats & are experienced & good with other cats, since I have two of my own. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, as it lessens the stress for the animal (and my cats! haha)

About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my family’s dogs (2–3 at a time) for over 8 years. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for multi-dog households in my community, earning excellent reviews from happy pet parents! I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 p.m., and I’m completely free and flexible on weekends to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of loving pets and snuggles to keep your furry friends happy and cared for!

About: I truly can’t remember a time where I didn’t have at least one (or ten) animals in my house growing up! Including my three-legged Chihuahua, energetic Catahoula’s, and rescue Aussie mix. I have been trusted to walk, care, and spend nights with pets of family, friends, and community members. I have worked in a pet boarding facility for four years where I got to meet some of my best furry friends! I have experience with many types of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I provide care that meets YOUR pets needs…whether it be a 4 month old puppy or 14 year old senior dog, energetic and playful or a timid couch potato, big St Bernard’s and Great Danes or Dachshunds and teacup Chihuahuas. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at UWSP where I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially on weekends. I am able to do whatever your pet needs whether it’s a quick walk while you’re away or staying the night while you’re on vacation. I am able to be with your pet almost all day, with the exception of classes. I have worked in pet boarding for 4 years and have encountered many different situations and handled each accordingly. I know basic first aid for animals and I am very comfortable giving dogs medications (even if they aren’t fond of it). During walks I am attentive to my surroundings and am able to avoid stressful situations for your fur baby.

About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility! We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.

“Very knowledgeable and patient with reactivity. I can tell she’s done a lot of research and has true love and compassion for animals.”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and love spending time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I have experience with senior pups and those with special needs, including administering medications and offering gentle support. Every dog is unique, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I currently have open availability through May 19th, so I’m flexible and able to accommodate a wide range of schedules. After that, I’ll be working 40 hours a week but will still have two consistent days off, plus availability for morning, evening, and weekend care. I'm committed to making sure pets get the attention they need, even with a full schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I’m respectful of your space and always keep doors, gates, and feeding areas secure. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: I am a 30 year old college graduate and I have loved dogs my entire life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I always asked my friends if I could hang out with their dogs whenever possible. I just honestly really love dogs and want to be able to hang out with as many as possible throughout my life. I interned at a Veterinary Clinic during my senior year of high school so I have become familiar with appropriate ways to administer medications, trim toe nails, and calm anxious pups. My availability is fairly flexible and I will always make time to take care of a pooch that needs it while their pet parents are away for whatever reason they have. My schedule can sometimes be unpredictable but I always do my best to communicate that with possible clients. Open communication is key for me to help you. If I’m in your home, I treat it like my own. I was raised to respect everyone and their belongings. Your pet’s safety is always my number one priority.

About: Growing up we always had at least one dog and multiple cats. I travel often so I haven’t adopted a pup of my own. Caring for yours benefits me as much as it does you and your fur baby! I work travel contracts 13 weeks at a time. So I’m never in one location for too long. When I work it’s 3 days a week and then I take time off between contracts so my schedule opens considerably. The only down side is I’m not permanently stationed in one location. I will make sure every pet I care for stays safe whether it is in my home, your home, or out on a walk. I’ll be caring for them as if they were my own! If you have special requests or concerns regarding your pet I will happily address them individually!

About: I have many years of experience in watching pets, I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat and have taken care of neighbors pets as well. Now that I am away at college (NMU-majoring in nursing) and cannot take my pets with me I would love to be able to make sure other peoples pets are in good hands. My reliability and trustworthiness makes me a great candidate for taking care of your pets. I am currently a full time student. I do not have any other type of job so I will be around often to take care of animals. I care for them in a loving and fun way. I will only treat them with respect and love. I want to make sure I take care of them in the way that I would want someone to take care of my animals. I will make sure that your pet(s) get the exercise they need by walking/hiking/running, whichever you prefer. Because I am only going to school at the moment, staying at your house and visiting often to walk them will not be a problem.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for animals of many kinds. I am a wildlife biology major pursuing a career in wildlife rehabilitation. This gives me a complete understanding of animals needs. I am currently home in the northern lower peninsula for the summer. I have complete open availability and can accommodate most schedules! I have 2 lovely cats of my own currently, but have cared for all types of animals in the past! I am open to any safety and precautions that are requested. I understand with covid cleanliness is required. I am fully vaccinated and will still follow any safety requirements requested.
