About: Tailored Care, Happy Pups! Over 20 years experience. What sets me apart is my hands-on, personalized approach to every dog I care for. I adapt to each pup’s unique needs—whether it’s a brisk jog, a leisurely stroll to sniff and explore, a game of fetch, or a fun tug-of-war session. For more laid-back dogs, I create a calm, relaxing environment where they can acclimate and feel at ease. I’m committed to making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and engaged—giving them the care and attention they deserve. Whether high-energy or a couch potato, I’m here to ensure their happiness and well-being! Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to prioritize each dog’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or quiet relaxation, I’m fully available to ensure their routine is followed and their comfort is maintained. I treat every dog as my guest and go above and beyond to make them feel at home—providing personalized care, attention, and plenty of love. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority! Very safe in country with over two acres to play in. No other animals so the dog I am with will get my fullest attention.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!

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.

“Thank you again. The doors were well taken care of”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years - my own, neighbors, siblings/grand dogs. I feel their energy and love and give it back. I am a retired school social worker so am very flexible with time. I love to walk and be active and if I have a pet to provide care for - my day feels more purposeful. I would care for pets in a client's home by making sure they get at least 2 walks a day and outside time morning and night. If they stayed in my home I live next to a preserve and a state park. They would get lots of outside time - even in the winter - and lots of love.

About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a small child! I am an animal lover! I am patient and kind to them! I can’t wait to meet your sweet animal! I work only part time so I’m pretty flexible! I do however have two teenagers and happily married so sometimes I might be busy, but typically I’m usually available! I have one cat that is inside. He is an orange Tabby and his name is Whiskey! I also have a black golden doodle puppy! He is 6 months old and his name is Chewy! We have 7 1/2 acres that he loves to run around on! ** if I am already at your place to dog sit, there will be an additional charge if you add another dog last minute.**

“Christine and her Husband were a huge help! They were very communicative, and took great care of my puppy! We will definitely be hiring them again in the future.”

About: I’ve had experience with all types of dogs ranging from Akita’s to Boston terriers. At home I have a high strung Dutch Shepard that could play fetch till his heart explodes and a little purse princess that is content sleeping all day. I am very reliable and flexible. Life doesn’t get much better than being paid to hangout with dogs 😂 I work two jobs. My week job is done by 10:30 in the morning. I usually get a workout in after and my day is done by noon. On weekends I serve wedding so my availability will be scarce. I am paid 30/hr for both but if you pay me more you become my first priority. My dogs at home have an enclosed dog run that is a little less than an acre where they can relive themselves and enjoy outside without the stress of them leaving. My Dutch shepherd goes on walks and hikes with my mom and I. In a clients home I am willing to go on walks and/or bring the dog(s) to parks. On the other hand I am a college student that can hangout with the dog at home and let them out periodically while I study my class material.

“We were thrilled with Alex and the dogs love him too. Alex is professional, friendly, caring for the dogs and trustworthy! He met with us before he started the assignment to learn about us and the dogs and any of our special requests. He showed up every day, always on time and did more than what was required. We have already referred him to others and will definitely use him again!”

About: In over 30 years of grooming and caring for dogs and cats, I’ve gained valuable experience in making them feel comfortable and at home. ❤️ I am currently working part time and have a variable schedule. I am able to take breaks to return home and accommodate all the pets needs. we have a nice backyard that has an invisible fence with a mature, small little dog to play with your pets. He is both cat and dog trained.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs, and I have taken care of a wide variety of them over the years. I enjoy long walks and playing outside. I work part time currently, so I have lots of free time for walks and playtime. I have the availability to let out dogs multiple times a day and stay over on weekdays. I am eager to follow any instructions I’m given to care for your dog in the best suited way for their own lifestyle and yours.

“Kelly was wonderful walking our dog while we were visiting Charlevoix! She was responsive, prompt, responsible and sent the best pictures. Thanks, Kelly!”

About: I have grown up with springer spaniels and have cared for them throughout their entire lifespans. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but am very active as well. I always love walking, hiking, jogging, and paddleboarding with my dogs! I am a healthcare worker so work variable hours, I generally have quite a few days to a week off in a row, especially week days! I have years of experience pet sitting at family, friends, and neighbors houses. Since I have many days off, I am able to stay at clients homes full time during the day and have plenty of flexibility for walks/ potty breaks.

About: I have over 30 years experience caring for cats, dogs, horses, and other farm animals. I enjoy all animals and look forward to making them as comfortable at my house as they would be in their own home. I work part-time, mostly from home, and can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet sitting needs. I enjoy interacting with pets, and am excited to be able to offer the opportunity to serve those pets that may suffer from separation anxiety or special needs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but do offer a large yard away from the road. My house is good sized with a full finished basement, so plenty of room for them to roam and find a place they feel most comfortable. There are no "rules" here when it comes to furniture or beds, I always welcome cuddles! I will gladly crate your pet, on your request, if needed and provided.

About: I’m excited to care for your furry family member as if they were mine. At home I have a fenced in backyard, doggy gates inside to let animals have an open space of three rooms while I’m at work or running errands. My husband and I have our own fur children as well; a cat and two golden retrievers. I take my own dogs for walks both on and off leash (on wooded trails) about every other day. I have grown up with many pets as my parents let us have any pets we wanted as kids. I am pretty good at training dogs due to having so many throughout my life. I’ve trained our own dogs myself. In my spare time I enjoy adventuring in the outdoors. I have experience in the past volunteering at an animal shelter where I walked dogs and took care of cats. Feel free to contact me with questions. Looking forward to caring for your fur babies. Most of the time I’m available for long weekends (Friday to Monday) to help care for your dogs needs or in the evenings during the week. We have a fenced in backyard to help keep your pets safe at our home. We also have doggie gates built into our house that allows them freedom of a large space. No problem separating dogs when we leave for work etc, as we have plenty of extra space.
