House Sitting in Boyne City

About: I work at Little Traverse Bay Humane Society as an animal caregiver. I’ve been to exposed to all kinds of dogs and cats. I have experience with animal meds, animal behavior, and the care for them as well. I’ve handled all ages of animals from very young to old. I have also grown up with multiple pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I love all animals and I always make sure that I give the animal the best care possible. I’m currently working part-time at LTBHS. And I am going to school for Zoology! I would love as much experience with animals as I can get! I only work two days a week, so I have a very open schedule to work with! I have lots of experience in cleanliness of animals. As working at the shelter has given me hours upon hours of cleaning experience. I follow directions extremely well and take everything seriously. I understand these animals are your children and will always treat them like my own. I have experience in different temperaments and know how to safely handle them! I love a calm and loving environment with lots of mental and physical stimulation.

About: I am a reliable and compassionate dog sitter/walker with a very flexible schedule. I have worked with all kinds of pets, from Shih tzsus to German Shepherds, as well as puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I believe dogs enjoy my calm yet present presence. I am an online college student and have a very flexible schedule right now for house sitting, walks or check-ins. I would love to take care of your dogs or cats! Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize their comfort and well being. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and energy levels, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I also enjoy cozying up with pets during quiet downtime and playing calm music to help create a relaxing atmosphere. My goal is to provide a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away, and I am happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind. I am also respectful of clients' homes, keeping spaces clean and tidy and leaving everything as I found it.

About: I grew up caring for a variety of household pets and livestock. My parents have two adorable golden doodles, Teddy and Louie, who I helped raise and care for. I also grew up with cats and was largely responsible for feeding them, cleaning their kitty litter, and providing plenty of play time and snuggles. I currently work 8 am to roughly 4 pm, Monday through Friday. As such, I am frequently available during weekday evenings as well as all day Saturday and Sunday. As an animal lover, I greatly enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, and it is extremely important to me that they have the best possible quality of life. As such, I will do all that I can to ensure that your pet is well cared for by providing timely feedings, basic grooming, walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles!

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

“Eric did a great job with our two dogs who are on opposite ends of the age, energy, and size spectrum. He kept us well informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Would recommend!”

“We were out of town and booked Emma to watch our golden and Springer spaniel for the day while we went in a kayak day trip. The girls seemed relaxed and at ease with Emma. We even got an update text and picture. We would definitely recommend booking with her.”

About: I have had family dogs my whole life. At home, I currently have a black lab (Bella), a white lab/ridgeback/pitbull mix (Tilly), and a cat (Brody)! While at school, my roommate had a pitbull mix (Gordy). I frequently dog sit for a family friends for a week+ at a time & always fall in love with their dog(s). Can’t wait to do the same with your dog(s)!! Expect lots of pictures while you are away! 😊🐾🦴🐕‍🦺📸 I am a Speech-Language Pathologist at a local school, so pet care will fit into my daily/weekly routine around the school day, Monday thru Friday. I have had pets my whole life. I have 2 dogs and a cat at home (Charlevoix). I also lived with my roommates dog while in GR. I make sure my dogs are well cared for, well taken care of, and very much loved.

“Heather is absolutely wonderful!! She is very caring. Izzy and Remi absolutely loved her. She has excellent communication skills, is very punctual and I swear my house was cleaner than I left it. I will definitely ask her to watch Izzy and Remi anytime I need to go away! She is very trustworthy. I highly recommend Heather to watch over your 4 legged family members. I loved the pictures, updates and videos as this was my first time leaving them.”

“Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.”
