About: My favorite experience is raising puppies to be awesome educated dogs. I have trained my pets to be well socialized and am aware of individual needs, young and senior alike. I am a retired teacher and spend most of my days at my orchard and tending to our dogs' needs. This work is very flexible which allows me to dedicate time to your pets. I have a small house full of love. Our dog guests are invited to share our space but I always feed guest dogs in a separate bedroom and can use either bedroom for some quiet time as needed.

“Great communication! Our dogs loved her! Very respectful of our property! She even loved on our cats when they came to say hello as well! Would recommend over and over again! 10/10!”

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”

“I will always choose Emily to watch my pet when I am out of town! She does a great job communicating throughout the process and sends me the best pictures. My cat loves her!”

About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.

About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I keep the doggie door shut unless an owner asks for me to use it. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of my sassy kitty.”

“Marina surely loves your fur babies. We really appreciated her wanting to meet Izzy before the drop in visits for any questions about our pet and home. This truly allowed our family a get away with no worries. She didn’t have any questions and sent one pic per drop in. It was a perfect match!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was little. They always had a special place in my heart. I have a job at a boarding facility for dogs and have gained lots of new skills. The skills I’ve learned consist of potty walks, paying attention to behaviors, preparing food, always making water available, and understanding every dog is different and building trust between each dog is a main priority to making them feel safe. On Mondays and Tuesdays I have my Vet Tech classes but I always can come to your home after my classes which would be around noon. I currently work part time at a boarding facility until 12:30 ish on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and sometimes Saturday’s, it just depends on what I get scheduled to work that week. I can do house visits after I work around 2:00 pm and stay until 8 pm. I will not be boarding dogs at my house due to me having two dogs that aren’t around other dogs. My service I offer is caring for your pet in your home.

“Taylor was enthusiastic and excited to spend time with my kitty. It’s always relieving knowing your pets are receiving love when you’re gone. I definitely will be asking her for help in the future!”

Abbey N.

“I’m so glad to have found Kyle to watch our two cats on a recent vacation. I appreciated his communication both beforehand and during his visits. I felt totally at peace knowing our cats were in his care. We will definitely be looking at Kyle’s calendar again when we go on our next trip!”

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. With busy working parents, I was often the one doing most of the animal care. I grew up with 2 large German Shepherds and 2 cats, so I am familiar with handling large breeds and taking care of multiple animals at once. I am a huge animal lover and have always been a natural pet caregiver. The well-being of animals is my top priority. I am currently working full-time; however, I work from home once a week and can be flexible on which day that is. I am also completely available on the weekends. The beautiful Detroit River Walk is right by my apartment, where I would take lovely long walks with pets. Additionally, my favorite pastime is cuddling with furry friends on the couch!

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.

About: Have years of experience working with dogs from puppies to adult ages. Currently a dog mom to a 3 year old golden retriever, can handle energetic dogs I work part-time during the week and have many open weekends for your dog walking and dog sitting needs! I am very active with my own dog and love taking care of others. I plan to ensure all pups are treated with proper care according to their current needs. There is no such thing as too high maintenance in my eyes for dogs, they deserve the best care and I love making them as happy and comfortable as possible.

“Emily is able to check in on my pet on both Christmas eve and the day of Christmas, and was very flexible on time. She takes instructions very responsibly and was great with my skittish cat.”

Ben S.
