Dog Sitting Essexville

“Michelle was wonderful! She was easy to book, she stayed in contact, and sent us pictures of our 2 cats during her visits. We felt very comfortable on our holiday knowing our pets were in good hands!”

About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have provided loving dog care services in my home for 10 plus years. Large private fenced yard for safety, plus perfect for running & playing. I have an open schedule most weeks throughout the year. I love the company of dogs and I enjoy having them share my home often. Since I'm home, setting up a routine that works for the dog's needs is important and easy to accomplish. Lots of one-on-one attention provided daily.

“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”

About: I've had pets my entire life. I've learned how to walk dogs, litter train cats, administer medications, trim nails, and give bathes. I've pet sit for my grandma plenty of times before and decided I want to give it a go for other people. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I routinely care for! I am a stay at home fiancee so I have all the free time in the world! I have open availability unless stated otherwise, and I am eager to be a helping hand to those who need it. I care for pets with love and gentleness in the home of my clients. I'm patient and willing to learn and do things in a way that will make the pets feel comfortable and loved. I can clean litter boxes, clean waste from dogs on walks or even in backyards if that's preferred, I can administer medications or give baths if needed. I could also trim nails if the owner is comfortable with it and it's needed

“Madison was so sweet with our needy cats who always get sooo lonesome when we’re gone. She sent us lots of photos after each visit showing her doing all the special things besides feeding for them. She went above and beyond. We so appreciated her! Thank you so much, Madison.”

About: I’ve had dogs as a big part of my family since I was extremely young. Having dogs has taught me so many new responsibilities, and struggles between figuring out what they need or what. I’m currently unemployed and looking into just taking college courses and having a part time job. With that I will have plenty of time to spend with your loving pets to ensure that they are properly cared for, and get all the attention they deserve while you’re gone. I will always ensure that they are fed when they need to be fed along with, making sure that they always have clean and drinkable water, lots of time outside to get out the zoomies during playtime, more than enough potty breaks, and clean litter boxes always.

I’m excited to continue the dog daycare here in Saginaw and hope you choose our home for your best friend! Send us a message with any questions or concerns and I will gladly get back with you when I can! We have a Shiba Eskimo. Dog care is part of our everyday routine. We love our dog and routinely let her out at regular times throughout the day. Usually morning, afternoon, evening and night. Your dogs environment will be a hit! We have a dog park right outside our backyard, with plenty of fun to be had. Our dog is super friendly and our loving kids will make your dog feel right at home.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.

About: I grew up with dogs, so I’ve got a fair amount of experience with caring for them. I have a senior pit bull whose been with me since I was a kid, so I’m very comfortable with bigger dogs! I work full time but my days are free after 3pm, and I’m off on Thursdays and Fridays with no preference for either mornings or evenings. I make sure to give pets adequate attention while also being mindful of their boundaries. I love to engage in play and stay on top of feeding & potty time.

About: I have been proudly owned by dogs since I was 7 years old. I love dogs. My dogs. Your dogs. Everyone's dogs. I am currently the proud dogmom of a sweet, loving, mostly deaf, senior female Cocker Spaniel. PaTutti is 15 years old. She is a sweet, old girl that sleeps most of the day. She was diagnosed with lymphoma in April, 2025. She's handling it like a champ. Seniors rock!! 🩷 (UPDATE: Sadly, we helped PaTutti cross Rainbow Bridge on January 16, 2026. She woke up that morning and told me that, at the ripe old age of 15½, she was tired of fighting the fight. She crossed the bridge peacefully in my arms. PaTutti was absolutely the best girl and she will live in my heart forever. 💔) I have rescued my last several dogs from my local animal shelter, and I especially love senior and special needs dogs. My two most-senior boys (both 15+ years old) peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge over the past four years. And, I said goodbye to Trubby, who crossed Rainbow Bridge in October, 2024. We cannot let those we love the most suffer, no matter how much it breaks our heart to let them go. I'm experienced with diabetic dogs, (my blind English Setter was diagnosed diabetic at the age of 12; and, he lived to the ripe old age of almost 15) and I can administer insulin and other medications. I know all of the "pill-giving secrets." I am retired and have all day to love your dog and make them feel at home. Several of my rescued dogs have been seizure dogs, so I am also experienced with seizure events. I have a fenced-in yard and my lawns are always pesticide- and fertilizer-free. (I might have some dandelions, but they make the bees happy!) 🐝 I will gladly provide a 10% discount to all active duty military, veterans, and first responders. Please ask for your discount before you book, so I can modify your rate. (Proof of eligibility will be required. ) I do require that your dogs be fully vaccinated, including flea and tick topicals or ingestibles. And I would also like to meet your pet(s) before they stay in my care. (I like to assess the personalities of all new dogs coming into my home for boarding and day care.) I am home all day long. Dogsitting is my ONLY job. I will be able to give your dog(s) all of the love and attention they need. Your dogs will live in my home as one of my dogs. They are on my couch with me; they follow me from room to room; they hang around the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. My house is their house. We all live together as one big happy family.

“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
