“Amazing people, kept me updated on my babies constantly because I was so nervous ? but they were so accommodating and my babies had so much fun. Will definitely book them again next time we come to Michigan!”


“Kelli is kind, caring, communicative, and flexible. She has an awesome fenced in yard for safe playtime, and her dog is very friendly & playful with other pups. Definitely recommend and will likely use Kelli’s services again!”


“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“The perfect sitter for an anxious fur baby. Heavan put both my dog and myself at ease giving multiple updates with pictures while I was out of town for a night. My extremely anxious pooch settled right in which allowed me to enjoy my night away without worry.”

“I would highly recommend Taya for dog sitting. My 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer mix, Trudie, gets anxious when I leave her with anyone, but Taya and her dog Leo were so kind and caring, which made me (and Trudie!) feel so much better about it. She sent pictures, and was very responsive to my texts. Overall, it was a very good experience.”
“Larry was awesome! He had my lil Maggie for almost two weeks we were just passing through and had car trouble and he extended her stay on the fly for us. When I picked her up she was so happy! If I need a dog boarder again I will definitely call Larry.”


“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”

“Katy did an excellent job taking care of our pup while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, it was clear that she took great care of him!”

“Jenai and Sean always take excellent care of our dog. This is the second time we have had them care for our Gully and this time for 2 nights. They send photos and give updates during the stay. Thank you so much for watching Gully again! It feels so good to be able to get to have a fun weekend once in awhile and know he is being well cared for and having a fun weekend too. 🙏🏼🥰🐶”

“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”

“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”

“My dear sweet Oli had never been away from me. I wasn't sure if I should go to visit my sister. Tasha did a fabulous job! Kind, understanding, and pictures or videos daily. I felt so good about it. I would not hesitate to go out of town if Tasha is available. Thank you for such wonderful care. You are the best!”


“I can’t say enough about how amazing of a time Lucy had when she was with Kristopher and the family. And we were at ease knowing she was in great hands being treated so well. This family is definitely animal people and really seem to “get” dogs (and their humans). We had been looking and praying for a perfect setup for Lucy for when we go out of town and I’m thrilled that we found it. I love that they have other friendly dogs they own and watch, they have such a wonderful setup to keep everyone happy. I literally don’t think Lucy missed us one time which makes us happy:) she gets to have as much fun as we are - making new friends, having adventures and was well loved and cared for. We are already booked for our next trips.”

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
