“My dog Ackee loves her adventures with Shannon! Shannon has looked after Ackee in Santa Barbara, LA and Jackson Hole, WY. Ackee is high-energy and Shannon takes her for long hikes and to parks where Ackee can play with friends. Even while it was winter in Wyoming, Shannon always made sure Ackee got plenty of activity. Shannon gives Ackee constant love and is always looking out for her safety. Ackee notoriously tries to eat random food and items she finds on the ground and Shannon is extra attentive to make sure Ackee doesn't ingest anything she isn't supposed to. Shannon is a trustworthy and loving dog walker and is always prompt with pick ups and drop offs.”

“Shelby is the most incredible dog sitter I have ever had! She has cared for my 6 year old pit mix, Rory, for both regular walks and sitting when I am out of town. Rory is a fearful rescue and Shelby absolutely brings her out of her shell, engages her, and gives her SO many treats so that their walks are full of fun and joy. Shelby keeps to our schedule when I'm away and sends me photos every day. Shelby is also a strong trainer and uses positive affirmation techniques. I know that my dog is always safe and happy with Shelby.”

“Catherine was great. She was responsive and had clear communication about timelines. Brady loved her walks. Would book again!”


9. Alexander T.

“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!”


10. Amanda Z.
About: Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, I have made a living out of taking care of them. It was my calling as a young child to become a Veterinarian. I started Pet Well Mobile Vet, the area's only mobile veterinary service, in 2021 to help bring a better level of quality to pet care after seeing how much more relaxed my friend's pets were when I took care of them in their homes. Building that bond through pet sitting is much the same thing, pets get individualized care and you get peace of mind. As the mobile veterinarian, I can schedule my days as needed. I have the flexibility to do mid-day meals or walk, if needed. I'm almost always done working by 6pm to make sure everyone gets dinner on time and then some evening playtime. All pets will be cared for as if they are my own. I encourage pet parents to write up the normal routine for their baby so I can stick to it as much as possible. I love to send pictures and updates. (I would want them if the roles were reversed.) I also have to ability to care for medical issues that arise during the stay, only with the pet parent's permission of course.


11. Sonya H.
“She has a wonderful personality! Very loving a caring when it comes to people and pets. Always loves to be active and involved with dogs and cats alike! I’ve known sonya for some time and I can honestly say I have the upmost confidence in leaving my pets in her care!”


12. Jamie F.
“I have had several experiences with Jamie Fleming taking care of my dog. My dog always was taken good care of, followed my instructions. She even took pictures and sent them to me. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her!”


13. Andrew V.
“Andrew has watched Teddy (6 year old golden mix) many times. He diligently takes him for fun walks and He loves when Andrew is taking care of him. Andrew has also stayed at our home and taken care of both pets including our cat Murphy.”


14. Leila G.
About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.


15. Jonathan P.

“Jonathan. So professional efficient on time loving and gentle with our Jayda. Jonathan is my Number 1 choice in the future. It was a pleasure and also calming to know Jonathan was taking care of our baby!! He left us notes on their walk and how Jayda enjoyed them! Thank you Jonathan!”


16. Megan G.
“Megan has been an outstanding animal provider and care taker for all 15 years I have known her. All animals who come into her home always get the best care and attention. Her home is clean and provides lots of space outside for physical activity and her routine is perfect. I trust her with my own high energy/maintenance German Shepherd when I’m away on farrier trips, and he always returns home well fed and happy.”

18. Riley F.
“Riley is an outstanding pet and house watcher. We have had her watch our 3 dogs and 2 cats on several occasions, for up to 2-3 weeks. She loves them and they love her. She send pictures and updates, walks them, feeds them and takes special care of them. Our redbone coonhound has epilepsy and requires medication 4 times a day - that was not problem for Riley. Super responsible and just a great person. We and our pets couldn't provide a higher recommendation for her!”


19. Lorretta R.
“I can't say enough great things about Lorretta and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me, and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them.
