About: I have personally owned cats, dogs, horses, cows, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, and there are very few animals that I’m *not* comfortable with. I have raised bully breeds from bottles, and I have a ton of experience with large dogs as well as small. I’m not allergic to any animals- and I love snuggling and playing. I’m a super calm person and I think animals feed off of our energy. I work full time from home and have quite a bit of flexibility as I can do my job from anywhere with an internet connection. I have a fenced yard- but as I’ll be more likely to watch your animals in your home, I’m flexible. I’m an active person, and a true animal lover. We can customize what your pet needs from me. I’m a special needs mom, and I have a crazy amount of patience.

“Alexis was great to work with. She was thorough and prompt. Her communication was top-notch. She made a last-minute trip out of town much easier for my family.”

“Megan was absolutely incredible with Harley! She was prompt, sent photos and updates with each pop in. Her communication is amazing. She also helped me out with a last minute emergency pop in. She is really a great sitter and I'm so glad we chose her!!!”

About: I've owned several dogs since I was a child, and it was often up to me to take care of them, I used to walk my boys every day, and I do quite miss it. Cats are even closer to my heart, I can think of few times I haven't had a cat somewhere in my home, often times I joke that I prefer their company over actual people. I'm currently not working, so I have PLENTY of time to walk/ spend with your fur babies, the only time I can't is some weekdays after 5 to take care of my little one. I love to walk with dogs, and I'm also a very cautious person, so you won't have to worry about your pets being in any sort of danger. I look both ways, and I avoid questionable places and people. I try to be as vigilant about the comfort of animals as I can, and I think their boundaries are very important to respect!

About: I have experience taking care of my friends and families dogs whenever they are away on vacation. I have a great client base on here. And have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I enjoy building a bond and connection with animals I feed my dog and cats in the mornings and night times. I am able to take my dog out for walks every weekend and dog park as well. I also have my grandparents who i live with, take him out regularly. I walk, feed and bath my dog. I also have 3 cats that i care for as well. I also take my dog on walks.

About: I've always lived with dogs! They hold a special spot in my heart. In addition I am a Behavior Analyst, which means I study behavior and how to increase desired behavior and decrease unwanted behaviors. This has been very beneficial in training my own dogs and would be implemented when walking or watching your dog! It involved the use of positive reinforcement and NOT punishment! :) I currently work full-time, so I am available in the early mornings or later in the afternoons, and have open availability on the weekends. If you pup is staying with me, my significant other works from home, so there is always someone to let the pup outside for a potty break and fresh air! I have a 6-foot high wooden fenced in yard to keep your pets safe! I also have two dogs of my own to keep your pups occupied and help and work on their behavior. After all, they are pack dogs who tend to imitate behaviors they see from other animals! I also focus a lot of my training with my dogs on how to act if they approached by an off leash dog, to ensure I can do my best to keep them safe on their walks! Additionally, all other rooms other than the living room and kitchen are gated to keep pets out rooms that may have things such as socks, phone cords, etc.

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing! Proactive with setting up a meeting and greet. Answered all of my questions without any hesitation. Winslow absolutely loved her! Prompt communication and very passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of animal care! Will be booking again!”

I love going on walks at Imerman park or playing fetch in the backyard with my bernedoodle, Fin. I’d prefer if your pets are comfortable being around other dogs and require that we do a meet and great prior to their stay with me. Ask me any questions and feel free to reach out if you would like more information. Have a great day! I currently work full time from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am able to care for pets in my own home or in yours! I have a fenced yard where pets can roam. I am also close to multiple parks and great walking paths. I allow pets on all furniture.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a fitness coach, I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for pets who enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of activity. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior companion, or somewhere in between, I provide personalized care based on their unique needs and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and compassion I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time as an online fitness coach and as an administrative assistant for a local school, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule while providing reliable care for your pets. During the school year, I am primarily available Fridays through Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. In June and July, my schedule opens up significantly, allowing for much greater availability throughout the week. No matter the season, I am committed to being dependable, communicative, and ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and preferences, and I will follow any instructions you provide to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether we’re out on a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply spending time together at home, you can count on me to provide responsible, loving care and keep you updated along the way.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life! I have two cats, and ball python at home. I also know how to care for birds and small animals such as bunnies, hamsters, etc. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaled/feathered) family! I’m new to Bay City and work part time in Saginaw! I absolutely love all animals and volunteer time with various rescue organizations as well as volunteer with habitat rehabilitation groups. Unfortunately, I’m unable to provide care in my home at this time as I live with two kitties that are not good with other cats or with dogs :(

About: I’ve had a whole pack of different animals since I was very little. We’ve had cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents and fish. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, from newborn to elderly. I currently have no pets, so I’d love to spend time with your fur babies! I’m currently on summer break, so I’m very open until school begins in August. During school, I’ll be available from Fri-Sunday, and limited times during the week! I’m always glad to have down time with animals. I always treat animals with the respect and love that they deserve, and am happy to follow any specific direction given. Each pet is unique and has their own set of needs, and I’m interested in knowing your pet’s needs so I can provide the best care possible! My personal pets are each fed on a schedule, and my puppy is taken out at minimum every hour and is given plenty of play time, inside and outside.

About: I am a huge pet lover! I have 4 cats of all ages & 3 chinchillas.. I take pride in giving a high quality- specific to the cat diet. I am consistently providing all types of enrichment for them & I love being creative in that. My chinchillas require a lot of enrichment & a very specific diet. I enjoy changing their cage layout & receiving love from them. Ages of cats are: 13, 6, 6 & 4. The chinchillas are nearing 4, 5 & 6. My cats are always kept up to date on their vetting & my chinchillas may see their exotic as needed. I have experience with: cats, dogs of all sizes, Guinea pigs, freshwater fish, an assortment of lizards including bearded dragons, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, frogs, & a small amount of experience with bunnies. I am so very eager to always learn more. I enjoy sitting for people with strict routines because I have a routine to follow. I also enjoy laidback pet sitting as then I can get creative within reason to dream up some enrichment for the pets while I am visiting. I also have been doing cat rescue for almost 6 years now & am quite experienced. I am deemed the pet lover in my friend & family circles & am often the go to for pet sitting if I am able. I absolutely love meeting other pets & getting to know their boundaries, preferences & quirks! Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my life that I wouldn’t give up for anything. I believe they enrich our lives more than we do theirs. I work full time salaried from home, Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm. However; the only days I truly find myself busy are Tuesdays and Saturdays at times. Unless I am on travel (it is only mon-Fri), I usually have 6 hours or more of free time during that working period. There should be no problem coordinating dedicated time to your pet(s) as needed. All of my pets are fully indoor. Two of my chinchillas are in their double CN cage where cats can see them, but do not interact with. My other chinchilla is in single tiered ferret nation cage. I am an advocate for keeping pets indoors & problem solving solutions for pets who may want a partially outdoor experience. Example: harness training your cat while keeping them on preventatives & consulting your vet first. My cats have a timed feeding with a diet specific to that cat, twice a day. My chinchillas have a once a day feeding including their pellets, fresh hay & access to water at all times; they require a dust bath every 2-3 days. The cats get approximately 15 minutes of exercise 2x a day & lots of opportunities for cuddling or one on one time as wanted. I routinely trim their nails, clean their ears & bathe every 6-12 months as needed.

“Shannon has been fantastic so far! We have had her do visits with our new puppy while we are at work all week and she is so good with the puppy, and super sweet to the other dog in the household. She has been on time and dependable, always makes sure the pup gets what she needs, and is very easy to work with.”
