About: I am truly passionate about providing exceptional pet sitting and dog walking services, ensuring that your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. My experience with various pet behaviors allows me to understand and cater to each animal's unique needs, helping to maintain their routines and happiness. I pride myself on my strong pet care skills and my commitment to open communication, so you can trust that your furry friends will receive the best care possible. Your pets deserve the utmost attention and love, and I am dedicated to making sure they receive it. Currently my schedule is fully open for scheduling. I am mostly aiming to be available Monday through Friday and if needed able to weekends as well. I love to go for walks and be outdoors with my own pets and aim to allow your babies the opportunity to smell all the things and get out and enjoy a walk as well. At my own home, i have a fenced in yard with two very social and nice pets. If needed i am able to crate as well. In my clients home i will give updates and photos to ensure they know their pets are in great hands.

“Diego has always been amazing with my beagle, Jewel. As a National Guard Soldier I often had weekends where I would be away from home at Drill. He would care for her like she was royalty. Jewel would get her daily exercise, was always fed the appropriate amount (and kept on her diet) even with her food restrictions, and was always returned to me as a VERY happy pup. He even gave her a bath for me once when she got very muddy while they were playing outside.”


5. Keyara P.

“Keyara is awesome! We left her to house sit with our old shepherd and an escape artist cat for a five day vacation. When we arrived home the pets were happy and the house and yard were very clean! She is very personable and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend. And a Corn Hole Champion!”


6. Deborah T.

“Deb did a lovely job with our 2 dogs. We came home after 2 weeks of vacation to relaxed and happy pets. None of the stressed out behaviors we have seen in the past when we had to kennel them. I would recommend Deb to anyone!”




7. Kate M.


“So glad to be able to have Kate stay with our dog Summer for the week. It makes us feel better about leaving knowing she is well cared for in her own home. Thank you.”


8. Jared A.

“Jared is great!!! He came to watch our pets for a hours today for a test run before our vacation next week and they all loved him. I know they will be in good hands when we are away!”


9. Jasmine S.
About: I have experience in taking care of pets both personally and professionally. I have helped raise our family dog into her senior years which has involved administering medications 4 times a day. I have also taken care of family members’ puppies. More recently, I worked as a professional pet care specialist for a company which involved taking care of a variety of dogs ranging in age, size and breed. I am open for pet care on the weekends and possibly in the evenings on weekdays. I will be able to work most holidays as well! I am dedicated to providing safe care for your pets! I currently do not provide in-home care at my home, but I can do care in your home! I always make sure to be attentive during visits. I can provide lots of cuddles and enrichment or I can give your pet some space, it all depends on your fur babies’ needs.


10. Elizabeth O.
“I’ve known Beth for 20 years. She is an animal lover who has always gone above and beyond to care for her pets as well as others. Dogs from her neighborhood would love to come to her house and visit she and her dog. She would be a wonderful pet sitter!!!”


11. Taylor K.

“Taylor did a great job accommodating my pets needs. She communicates well and makes you feel like your animals are in good hands. I would definately book her again :)”


12. Kendall O.

“Kendall did a great job with our 100 pound GSD! She was on time and very responsive! North was exhausted when we got home. 😂. We will most certainly call on Kendall again!”


13. Stephanie N.
“Stephanie was the perfect care taker for my year old Yorkie Luca. He is a handful and I was worried about him causing too much trouble. Stephanie handled him well, by playing with him at length, feeding him the right portions I had set for him, and even baths when he would get dirty from outside.”


14. Katelyn G.

“Katelyn was great! Our dogs were well cared for and happy! And our house was spotless, like no one had been here while we were gone! It was nice to know our dogs were comfortable at home while we had to be away.”


15. Alaina M.

“Alaina was amazing! She gave me updates all throughout the stay. It takes my animals some time to warm up to new people but I’m so happy they finally did with her! I would highly recommend Alaina to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”


16. Kari E.
About: Hi! I’m Kari, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals, I’ve always felt a natural connection to them. I currently have three dogs of my own— a 9-year-old female American Pit Bull Terrier, a 5-year-old male American Pit Bull Terrier, and a 4-year-old male German Shepherd/Boxer mix. While I’m relatively new to professional pet sitting, I have years of experience caring for my own pets and have also helped friends and family with dog and/ or cat sitting, walking, and playtime. I’m a recent graduate of Central Michigan University and now teach 8th and 9th grade English at Manistee Area Public Schools. I’m committed to both my career and to providing the best care for pets. Through my experience with my own dogs, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to manage different personalities and behavioral needs. For instance, my youngest dog developed anxiety and reactivity at around 1.5 years old, which has required daily medication and thoughtful management of his interactions with my other dogs. While it’s been challenging, it has helped me learn how to create a safe and structured environment for animals with unique needs. In addition to my dogs, I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, including four hens and a rooster, which has further expanded my knowledge of animal care. Though I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I am a quick learner and dedicated to building my skills and providing loving, reliable care for your pets. I understand that each animal is unique, and I’m eager to build lasting relationships with pets and owners alike. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, medication management, or just some quality attention, I’m here to provide the best care possible while you’re away. I work as a full-time English teacher, with my workday running from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Outside of these hours, I’m flexible and available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, and other services. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend requests. Located in Bear Lake, MI, I’m willing to travel within the surrounding areas to care for your pets. Whether you need early morning walks, evening visits, or weekend care, I can tailor my schedule to meet your needs. Please feel free to reach out to discuss specific times and arrangements! When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure they are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where they have plenty of space to roam and play. My dogs, like my clients’ pets, receive regular exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. I’m mindful of their individual personalities and energy levels, which allows me to adjust care accordingly—whether it’s a calm day of cuddles or a more energetic session of playtime. For pets in their own homes, I focus on maintaining their usual routines to minimize stress. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, whether it's feeding schedules, medication needs, or exercise requirements. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel comfortable when their owners are away. I make sure to provide companionship, keep the environment safe, and give them the attention they need. Whether it's daily walks, administering medication, or just offering plenty of affection, I treat each pet with the same care and dedication I give to my own animals. I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels happy, secure, and loved, whether they are in my home or yours.
