“Scout once again came home so incredibly happy and loving and well-adjusted, after his stay at Brianne’s. We are so grateful for you! It’s so clear he loves your family and feels right at home and safe - and you are the best and most loving communicator in the biz! Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️🌼🌼🌼”
“Our dog was well cared for by Amber and Ryan. We came home from a trip to find a happy, tired boy! Thanks so much for all the attention you gave him and for keeping him safe!”
“Great experience and my dog happened to be a good match too! 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend, and would likely do it again myself!!”
“Kevin was exactly who I needed to take care of my dogs while I flew across the country for a few days. He was flexible and great with communication. He answered quickly, gave me lots of updates, and photos! He took great care of my dogs. Helped to not be worried when I was on vacation, as I missed them a lot. Would definitely book with him again. My dogs were worn out and happy when they came home. Thank you!!”
“I highly recommend Alejandra. She took great care of my Josie. She sent messages and pictures and videos. Her family gave Josie lots of love and she really enjoyed her walks and running around in the fenced in yard!”
“Clara was amazing. Our dogs love to go to our home tons of places to run very clean and spacious crates that our dogs were actually able to sleep together. Please check it out. It is so worth it. Thank you Clara .”
“This was our first time using Rover. My dog was well cared for. Chris provided regular updates and even included pictures of my pup. Definitely recommend!”
“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“OMG! They are the best care providers for my two pooches, Reign and Bali. They loved on Reign and Bali like they were their own furry babies. Thank you for keeping them groomed, playing with them, and taking them on walks!”
“We just wanted to express our gratitude to Summer and her family for taking such great care of Cash while we were out of town. She had a fabulous time with you and your family! Thank you for welcoming her into your home and making her feel so comfortable. We really appreciated the updates and the wonderful pictures you sent. It was lovely to see how well she was doing! Summer, you’re awesome, and we will definitely be booking with you again in the future. Thanks again for a fantastic experience!”
“Josie and her family were beyond wonderful!! They took my dog in as their own for the week, she came back her happy self :) Josie was welcoming and kept in touch while I was gone and also was willing to give meds to my pup. I’ll be booking again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“The stay starts with a long introduction time to the space on their own and then individual introductions to any other dogs that are staying so that my dogs felt safe - I knew then that these were the sitters for us! We felt safe leaving our dogs who need a little extra care and knowing that they would be loved and taken care of. We will definitely be back!”
“Mary is so nice and took really great of Lizzie Lou why we were out of town. I would definitely recommend and leave anyone of my fur babies with her anytime. I didn’t have to worry about Lizzie I knew she was in great hands. Thank you again Mary you’re the best. Kellie”
“Tiffani was great to work with! She was very responsive and flexible when we had to adjust our pick up time. Our dog was exhausted (in a good way!) when we picked him up. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches.”
“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She recently cared for my two dogs, one of whom is just a 4-month-old puppy, and her service went above and beyond my expectations. From the start, she made sure we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her care, keeping us updated daily with the sweetest photos of them playing and getting plenty of cuddles from her family. Not only did she treat them like her own, she handled the extra energy and attention a puppy requires. She also went the extra mile by bathing both of my boys before we picked them up. This level of care and thoughtfulness meant the world to us. Our fur babies had a great time in her care. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“My 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd had an absolute blast with Loren and Sari! They have a huge piece of land allowing my dog, Burton to run around freely and rest when he wanted. I feel like Sari and Loren welcomed Burton into their home and loved him as one of their own. Burton for sure had a blast and is dog-tired from all the fun he had today!”
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!
