“Emily was so good to our pets. She kept me updated on all concerns and questions. We will definitely use Emily again. Our boys were in great shape when we got home!! Thanks Emily!”
“Kara came last minute today to check on Joey because he hasn’t been feeling well. We are so appreciative of her! Joey has his neuter coming up and Kara has also shared that she is comfortable caring for him during his recovery!”

“So happy to have found Kathryn. She lives close by and is a delightful and kind person who clearly loves animals (and our dogs loved her). She promptly responded to our messages and was easy to communicate with, and she gave us feedback following her home visits without us asking. We would highly recommend her.”
“Mary was an incredible friend to my dogs Hubbard and Maggie. She went over and above and communicated throughout her visits. I highly recommend her services and look forward to having her sit many times moving forward. Thank you Mary!”
About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)
“Jennifer was such a blessing! She dropped in on our cat Onion for 6 evenings while my husband and I were out of town. She was amazing with sending tons of pictures and letting us know what Onion was up to during her visits! Thank you Jen!”
About: I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town. I work in the field of film, which is typically 3-4 projects a month, so I have pretty open availability for pet care in the days between. I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.
About: I am experienced walking and taking care of many different breeds, including a Weimaraner, Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Corgi, and a Chihuahua. I have also house sat for dogs, cats, and rabbits. One of the dogs I've watched had a history of seizures, so I learned how to administer their daily medication. I'm very punctual and I love animals. I've walked dogs in a lot of different weather conditions, and have no problem walking your dog regardless of what weather Michigan decides to throw at everyone. I look forward to getting some valuable time outdoors, and getting to take care of some adorable animals. I have a fairly open schedule and will do my best to accommodate clients. I am available to work early, late, and overnight as needed. I will take care of pets in their home so that they can be the most comfortable. I will follow the schedule for walks and food that their owner provides.
About: Looking to do part time dog walking and checking in on any time during the week, have been around animals my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked many times previously. I am currently a student on break looking for a part time gig. I am available all days of the week but will be most accessible furring the week days. I am a physically able man, who can handle large dogs, and I am a veteran of the USAF with many good references for work ethic!
“Christina was so nice and took great care of our dog Hugo during the drop in visit. We look forward to her house sitting soon! We feel very comfortable that she’ll take amazing care of our house, cat, and dog when we need that in the future. :)”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and am hoping to work with people to care for their animals. I love all cats and dogs, big and small. I have experience with large dog breeds and special needs cats ie. Diabetic and special foods. Trusting your pet sitter can ease so many worries while you you’re not able to be with your animal. I will provide not only pet care but love and cuddles!! I work in Traverse City during the day and would be able to stay in your home to manage your pet’s care to maximize their comfort at home. My work days vary however, on days that I work I can provide morning and evening care. On my off days I can be available all day. Whether you have a list of instructions or a loose schedule for your animal/s I hope to work with you to help your time away go as smoothly as possible. I have a cat of my own and know how nice it is to get updates and photos so I am happy to do that!
“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”
“Michelle was excellent! She stopped by to get a rundown of my cat’s feeding routine before the dates I was out of town, and she was communicative throughout the days I was away. I felt very comfortable & trusted my kitty was in good hands.”
“Katrina was great with our dog and so communicative and helpful. She was right on time for every visit and flexible when we had a couple of changes to our schedule on the fly. We're so grateful for her help!”
About: I have three dogs and a Guinea pig. I have plenty of experience with taking care of pets and love meeting new friendly pets to help out I work full time 8-4 but am available on the weekends and after 4:00 on weekdays. I am also able to accommodate lunch break potty stops if needed I would be unable to take any dogs or cats to my home as we have a full house right now. But I am more than willing to stay in your home or do multiple visits throughout the day
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. My mom is a dog groomer, and I've always loved being around animals. I volunteered at animal shelters while living in South Korea. I have a goal of 15,000 steps a day, so dog walking is really the perfect job for me. I just moved back to the United States after 15 years living overseas. I'm currently just readjusting to life in America and looking for a fun, stress-free job. I will not be taking care of pets in my home. I have two cats and they do not like dogs. I also live in a small apartment.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12. As an experience equestrian that spent time living on a farm I’ve been in charge of all kind of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and even horses! I’m currently doing a remote internship. I work from home full time Monday-Wednesday. I work part time locally the rest of the week but have plenty of flexibility. My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable. I’ll adapt to each pet’s unique routine whether that includes going on long walks or just a quick break out in the yard. I’ll follow your instructions closely to do whatever keeps you pet the happiest!

James C.
“This is the sitter you've been looking for full stop. When looking for someone to watch your precious pets, and likely be in your space, you need someone you fully trust. You want someone who is willing to go above and beyond if the need should arise. Fortunately for myself (and YOU), that person is James! James has cared for my 3 cats and German Shepherd dog multiple times. Those periods have been a short as a weekend, and as long as 2 weeks. Every time, not only are the pets happy as can be, but we received updates throughout and he took care to ensure no blemish was left on our house. James is incredibly responsible, a pet owner/lover himself, and has my full trust when taking care of my family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter.”

If you are looking for a trustworthy human to look after your best fur friend I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
