“We needed a partial day of care for our puppy - we didn't want to leave him in his crate for so many hours, and Brianne was able to accommodate us! I really appreciate how reassuring & communicative she was bc our puppy has been going thru a fear period of sorts, and we weren't sure how he would handle the change in environment. But he did great, and she kept us well-informed.”


“Amanda dog sat Mac everyday while we were on vacation. We were told he came home sleepy from how much playtime he had with Amanda’s dogs. I was sent plenty of pictures, videos, and heartwarming messages about Mac during his time at her house. Mac loves Amanda’s house so much that he is excited to arrive and sad to leave!”



“Excellent day care service. Very good people, nice clean home and yard. Animals are very well cared for. Service providers went above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

“Our Shih-Tzu mix Frida had the best time staying with Ryan and Amber (and Charlie!) during our busy wedding weekend. They were beyond accommodating of our schedule over the period of three days. We very much appreciated the updates and pictures via text throughout the weekend, and felt that Frida was well taken care of. We would definitely recommend and have Frida stay with them again.”


“Burton had another fun and energy burning day with Sari, Loren, their kids and dog Milo! Burton was so excited to see them again that as soon as he got out of the car, he just bolted straight to their front door with excitement. Will for sure be making this a weekly event! Last time Burton was there, he was pooped for two days. Nice to have a little break after I come from work and Burton has already had his exercise for the day. I mean, I think my dog is adorable and lovable, but can tell this family thinks so too.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Katy! She took amazing care of my 4-month-old puppy, and even though she’s a bit shy around other dogs, she really warmed up quickly. Her own dogs were incredibly friendly and helped put my pup at ease. After just an hour, Fiona was doing great with them! Her home is so cozy, and it’s clear she creates a loving environment for pets. My puppy had such a great time, and we will definitely be back. Thank you, Katy, for your wonderful care!”


“I could not have been happier with my Rover’s day of watching/caring for my puppies. The care given delighted me and gave me an I credible day. The pups were delighted too.♥️”


“Heather was wonderful with my pup. She was very patient and understanding with a new doggie in her beautiful home. She was also very flexible and responsive. Her pets are also very welcoming and easily welcomed my dog Fiona into their pack. I had a stress free day thanks to Heather!”

About: Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me, dogs and cats aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing/saving animals in need of a home. It’s something that she passed down to me. RIP Momma I Miss You! ❤️🩹 My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. I just recently lost our two oldest rescues dogs named Romeo and our Wheaton Terrier named Hayley. Oh and let us not forget our very outspoken Torti cat named Nala whom we loved dearly. So we rescued our beautiful cat Bella and most recently a sweet 4 month old puppy named Nova. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I am flexible and I am open to helping when & where I’m needed. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously that I will happily provide. Exercise is important to me so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻 I am currently self-employed so I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your furbaby/furbabies. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels loved and accepted in our home. I have two friendly dogs who will give your furbaby lots of playtime fun. We teach tricks and go for daily walks, play fetch, and support lots of playtime. Daily snuggles and love are a must!!

About: I've had and cared for animals since I was 7 years old. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, and a variety of livestock. In addition to caring for my personal animals, I've also provided house sitting services, as well as, managed a 10+ horse facility! I work from home, therefore, have plenty of flexibility to tend to your pet! I am available for boarding Thurs-Sun. I am available for daycare Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat - I can accommodate an occasional Tues, Wed for daycare. I live on a beautiful farm nestled in Southwest Michigan. Our farm is a perfect setting for pups of all sizes to play, run, relax, and feel right at home!! With years of hands-on experience, and with my work from home flexibility, you can rest assured knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or lounging around the house, I tailor their stay to match their needs!

“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”

Michelle O.
“Michelle has cared for and babysat my dog since he was a puppy. Now Obi is 1 and he has the best time with her and her dog Jamal. She brushed him when he needs it, takes him to the dog park to play, and goes on walks with her and Jamal!”


Rachell P.
“Rachell watched our 3 dogs when we visited family in Kentucky. Only asked her to let em out a few times a day to potty and eat but she went above our expectations and played with them, was very attentive and gave us a breakdown of their moods and behavior while we were away. So lucky to have her nearby (Rachell is noticeably an avid animal lover). Though I did get a little jealous when the dogs weren't overly excited when we got home. They definitely hadn't been starved for attention!”


Madison M.


“Madison was amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Bo in her care and he loved every minute of being there! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


Madison S.
“We couldn’t be happier with Madison for her care of our house full of critters! The reality is that with 4 small dogs and 2 cats, we've always hesitated to leave at all, but with her care, it's a whole lot easier! While we were away, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our pets were happy, relaxed, and in great spirits. Of note, our last trip out of town involved our leaving our dogs with Madison and her family, at their home. Her home is a lively one with kids, pets and play! Our dogs thrived there, and seemed especially enthusiastic to be part of the 'pack.' Each one of her dogs is lovely, welcoming and made our dogs feel at home. I know it sounds odd, since they're dogs - but honestly, it's like they're their own little hospitality team! Anyway, we’re grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. We highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their furry family member!”


Kathryn & Brian P.
“Katie is my daughter. She was brought up with 3 dogs. Our family has always loved and cherished our doggies. They have proven the statement man’s best friend. Katie’s doggy just recently went to doggy Heaven. Katie would get on floor next to Mia and just comfort and love her up. Katie has always been a dog lover since childhood. She definitely would take great care of your doggy.”
