Cat Sitting Empire

“From the first meet and greet Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Abigail. She took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation and provided updates and photos during each visit! We will definitely hire her again in the future.”

“Gail is amazing! She took great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town-including taking them on walks, hanging out at the house, and even took the dogs to Red Rock for a hike on a nice day. Our shyest cat who will always hide when people come over was comfortable enough to come out to visit with her, so that says everything in how pets feel about her! She was great at communicating during her visits and keeping us updated on our pets. We will definitely be using Gail when she’s available in the future.”

“Alexa took great care of our cat! She helped us out last minute, which was a huge relief. We came home to find him happy and healthy, couldn’t ask for more!”

“From the moment we met Jill we could easily see her instant bonding with our dog Sadie. A few days later Jill made a trip to our house to go over the detail of entry and dog care and to further nurture her positive relationship with our dog. Of course we were not here when Jill made her visit. But Sadie gave her a "5 paw" rating and mentioned that she would like to see Jill again. As a discrete young lady Sadie wished that Jill didn't give us detail on her "tinkle in the yard" but we certainly appreciated it. Plus the added bonus of a picture made our afternoon! Thanks Jill! Greg and Mary Jo”

“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Scott and Stephanie were great to work with. They communicated well, showed up for the full appointment time we booked, and took great care of our cat when we were out of town. All the stars, would book again.”

About: Hi my name is Marg I don’t work a typical 9-5 job and am in town every other month. I am a merchant mariner and work on a boat every other month, so when I’m home I’m able to fully dedicate my time to watch dogs and cater my schedule and needs to my clients. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm very passionate about every animal that I take care of and I will treat them as if they are my own. I have dog sat for many different breeds and sizes and have many years of experience taking care of animals. I am currently able to board dogs at my place or to travel to your home and, or do frequent check ins as needed. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Please message me with any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Marg I watch dogs part time when I’m not working on freighters , this allows me to dedicate all my attention to clients when I’m not working. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for your dog to play and run around. I will also take your animal on long walks and care for him or her as my own.

“Thank you Amber- Zoey and Buddy were comfortable with you, that means we were as well. Enjoyed the pictures and your care of our furbabies!”

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 21-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.

About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

“Jordan was excellent! Punctual, attentive and extremely reliable! She took great care of my pup while we were away, spending time, taking walks and always checking in. Super-reliable and friendly, Jordan is a stellar host to look after your four-legged friends!”

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
