House Sitting in Douglas

“Kate is exceptional in every way! She is professional, honest, friendly, kind, caring, and a great communicator. Kate stayed with my Cavapoo for 5 days and I felt so blessed knowing that my sweet little dog was being cared for by such a wonderful and loving person. Kate sent regular updates, photos, and videos making me smile and giving me peace of mind during my vacation. She was also very neat, clean, and respectful of our home. Kate is officially part of our family now. I highly recommend her!”

“Alexus was kind, polite and prompt throughout the entire experience. She was great with my boys - my dog, who is a very skittish rescue, even took a treat from her within a day. Her communication was consistent and thorough, and she even asked questions on how to make my dogs experience a little easier for him. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely the best!! I was very nervous using this service at first, however, Brittany made me feel much more comfortable. She was considerate, knowledgeable, and loving with my husky Suka. She provided pictures and updates. She gave Suka lots of snuggles and love. She played with her! She made sure Suka had a great time while I was gone. I can’t say enough kind words about her! Definitely recommend and will continue to use her when available”

About: My husband gifted me with Raphael, my beloved English Cream Retriever, five years ago on my 50th birthday. Since then, dogs have been my focus and passion. They're unconditional love is a precious gift, and I adore taking care of them. I also love to make homemade dog food & treats for my clients. I work part-time from home. I set my schedule, so it's easy to break away for doggie walks, love, & play. We live close to the beach and trails so we stay active and enjoy being outside no matter the weather. We have a large fenced-in yard in a quiet, country setting close to Saugatuck, with tons of wooded trails nearby for walking your pup if needed.

“Polly was absolutely fantastic. She sent us photos and notes everyday which really helped our anxiety leaving him. When we came home we new right away that Chester loved her. She played with him, gave him his medicine, and even bought him a few toys. Exceptional care. This is the first time we used Rover and wish I had found out about it before! We hate leaving him behind when we travel, but knowing that we now have Polly to rely on, it makes is so much better. My only concern is now everyone will want to book her and then she is not available for us. We could not have asked for better care for our gentle giant.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.

“Sophie was so kind to our pets and took excellent care of them. She was communicative about our pets and cared for our home well. We will hands down be using Sophie again.”

About: I have taken care of a large variety of pets from German shepherds to weiner dogs, Mainecoon to Persian and even chickens! I especially love cuddly animals and dogs who like to hike! I try to love pets as if I’m their fun aunt! My personal cat recently passed at the age of 18, so pet sitting has become even more sentimental. I will walk (wish I could say run, but I’m just not athletically inclined), feed, bathe and snuggle. I have experience with puppies but also love the slow oldies. I was a full time nanny for 4 children under 6; and I now work in the emergency department; so don’t be afraid, I’m hard to overwhelm! I work in the emergency department as a nurse technician. I typically work two 12 hours shifts per week. My schedule rotates every 3 weeks, so I’m available most weekends and many week days. I’m also a part-time student, but all of my classes are virtual at the moment, so I do not require leaving the house. I am experienced with non-other-dog-friendly-dogs, as well as overall anxious pets. I am a very tidy and organized person so if you have a higher maintenance routine I usually don’t mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18 I have so many dog experience I love when people open up their houses to me to have me stay in their house to have me watch their furry friends I’m currently working full-time, but I can let them out during the morning before I go to work feed them before I go to work come home. Let them out. Feed them again. Leave them out until bedtime play with them. Give them medication if needed. I love watching clients pets in their own house. I cannot have other dogs and animals in my house due to my dog does not get along with other animals.

About: Iv been pet sitting for 2 years. I love animals I have dogs and cats of my own. I am very responsible and will do my absolute best to meet whatever needs you have. I currently have a part time job and I’m finishing out my senior year of school. Iv been doing this for a while and I want to get more into it and build up more of a reputation. I will make sure your house stays clean, I’m very flexible and I will do what ever you need to make sure your dog or cat is happy and comfortable

About: I have my own dog at home and I am always asked to take care of my grandparents dog everytime they're away. I love dogs and always want them to be comfortable in my care. I currently work part time at a custodial company and I babysit at night as well. My work schedule is very flexible, it is a four hour shift and I have time in between then to have a pet care job. I always make sure they have water and food when they need to. I love taking my dog on walks and making sure to take him on bathroom breaks when he needs to. I also make sure to give my cat space when I need to but also play with her when she wants to.

About: i’ve had a dog of my own for almost 6 years now. i’ve always loved being around animals! I’ve always loved house sitting and walking dogs for my neighbors and friends! I am currently working a part time job. I will have lots of time to play with pets and to take care of them on a daily basis. My shifts usually aren’t too long so I wouldn’t be gone for long! I love to go on walks with my dog and play with him. he has lots of energy so it’s always good to try and get it out. He also loves cuddling so we do that as much as possible!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.

“Elizabeth is top-notch. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better sitter. She won over my shy Milo. She was there when she said she’d be there. She sent me photos and/or videos every day. She genuinely loves cats. She is fun to work with. Choose Elizabeth.”
