House Sitting in Charlevoix

“Patty just finished a few day stay with our 'gang off littles'! Just delightful. Many thanks to her from us and our three Shih Tzus. Everybody had a good time and for sure shared some laughs. THANK YOU, thank you! Look for you next time. Penny, Dave and Sheila, Mickey and Carl.”

“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 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 am a part time college student from 10:15 to 12:15 every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday so I have lots of time to care for pets!! 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.

“Thanks for caring for Ruby during our recent trip! We were able to relax knowing she was in good hands, having some fun and be comfortable in her own home while we were gone. Thank you very much.”

“Margaret is awesome!! I am a repeat client. My dog loves her. She is so conscientious and takes such good care of my fur baby! Margaret is so trustworthy and keeps me informed on how my dog is doing and sends pictures. It’s so nice to go away and know my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend Margaret!”

“Kristina is a very loving and caring person when it comes to people and animals her animals are her babies she makes them her top priority. I think Kristina would be great for this job considering she spends most of her time with animals where ever she goes if they have animals that is where you can find her.”

“Koreena is a big lover of all animals and would be a wonderful part of your furry family members life. She takes much pride in her work.”

“Deanna was easy to work with and extremely flexible with my last minute booking. She sent updates regularly and lots of photo and a video. She was very communicative and easy to talk to when I had questions about anything at the house. She updated me when my kittys tummy got upset (twice) and made sure everything was okay with her. She respected my home, even taking the trash to the road on trash day and washing the sheets to she used before leaving to ensure I didn’t have to worry about it since we arrived home very late. We will be using Deanna again for our pet care.”

About: Welcome- I am a dog lover who at one time had four dogs. I take great pride in my own home being clean and tidy. As well as caring for my yard and garden in the summer months. I am an animal lover and currently own a ten year old yellow lab and a six year old small mixed breed. My lab loves when I take her to the dog beach in Harbor Springs. The dogs and I hike and walk in the many nature trails here in Northern Michigan. My dogs get along well with other dogs. They love to run around the yard with the neighbor dogs. I would love to walk your dogs or care for them in your home or mine.

“Jessie is amazing. I am so happy we found someone we can trust and our pups love her.”

“Wonderful experience. Katie is a sweet attentive person. She cares for my puppy for a week . And I couldn’t be happier!”

“Wow! She’s Fantastic! She watched our Freddie overnight. She provided us updates & pictures which was so reassuring to us as this was the first time we left him overnight. Would definitely use her in the future!”

“Ashley was amazing. She has great attention to detail and showered our very active puppy with affection, sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on his day. We will be calling her again”

“When I met K-D I could tell she had lifetime experience and love for dogs. I felt confident leaving our two pit mix dogs with her. She asked questions to ensure she knew their routine. I could tell K-D would know how to handle urgent situations if something would’ve happened. During our time away she made sure our doggies were safe and well exercised. She took a lot of time for playing with them. I loved receiving pictures and updates regularly! K-D went above and beyond leaving the house very clean. Definitely will ask for her services next time we go on vacation!”

About: I am kind, patient, and full of energy. I worked in past as a Veterinary Assistant, trained in the safe-handling of stressed dogs and cats. I also have several years experience pet sitting and dog walking. For those looking to get their dogs outdoors, I hike and run daily and am always happy to have a pup at my side. Most of my hikes and runs are through gorgeous nature preserves your pup is sure to love. My schedule is flexible. If I commit to care of your pet, then that commitment and care takes priority. Your pet will receive ample attention. When pet sitting, I am very respectful of your home. I am very tidy, never leaving a mess. If there is anything I need to know, please do not hesitate to share. My hope is for you and your pet to be comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve owned pets since I was little both cats and dogs. I love both and enjoy making a connection with them. I also can work on light training and grooming. At the moment I have lots of spare time. I’m looking for something I enjoy. Currently only working weekends! Looking to get into new routines. I have a large yard we can go outside to play in! Inside fun toys and snacks. A great walking route for some good exercise.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I enjoy working with all types of animals and take care of them like they are my own. I work part time throughout the summer and am available most week nights to watch pets. I am also available some weekends and have lots of free time. I will make sure dogs are safely inside their yards or on a leash when outside and will be watching to make sure they are safe inside as well.

“Jennifer is everything I wanted in a sitter - she is super conscientious of both my needs and the needs of my two dogs - I highly recommend her!”

About: I am an International yoga teacher who travels too much to have my own pets. Growing up on a farm I’ve had plenty of experience with cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs. I have a very flexible schedule and am available to walk/feed/play with your pets including house sitting. Summer time I’m in Michigan, fall in Europe, Sedona and Northern California and winter in India. A few years ago in Costa Rica I house/pet sit at a resort which has 7 dogs, 2 cats and a bird. I also ran the cottage rentals and took the dogs for a daily beach walk. As a yoga practitioner and energy worker, pets are typically very Zen around me and a quick bond is formed through mutual trust and love.

About: I’ve dog sat ever since I was 15, I am able to stop by the house, stay at the house whatever is needed. I have also grown up around dogs my whole life. I’ve worked with dogs with anxiety and such and I love giving them a fun time while their owners are gone. I’m flexible with times and the dogs schedule. Reach out to me and see if we would be able to find days and times that work for you! I care for pets in the clients home by providing a safe loving environment and play time while the owners are gone. I love all dogs as much as my own and hope to help some families out.
