“Megan was great with Buster! She really treated him like one of her own. She is attentive, understanding, and insightful. I would definitely recommend her for any of your dog’s needs.”

“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”

About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.

“Kind and courteous. Fit our needs and our dog came back to us happy! We will use Sue for dogsitting again.”

“Michelle and her family took good care of our little pup. When we picked him up he’s so fresh and had a good bath. I had to pick him up earlier than expected and they were okay with it as well. I recommend hiring Michelle. They have a nice warm home. Thank you again!”

“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”

About: Ive cared for pets since I was 10 years old. Caring for not just my personal pets but as well as family and friends pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even other pets as well such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and even reptiles. I have a rescue dog, she is a 6 year old american bully mix, she is so loving and spends most of her time curled up next to my 11 year old autistic son. She loves car rides, going to the park or bike rides on the trails. I also have a male ferett who I swear acts just like a crazy cat. He loves jumping around doing his "war dance", he will steal our shoes and hide them under beds. As well as play hide and pounce with our dog. I am able to care for not just your furry animals but your reptile babies as well. I don't work outside the home anymore. I do leave for shopping and appointments but am home most other times. Sitting the dogs is my full time job and my pleasure. Drop off/pick up times are from 8am - 7pm. Day boarding runs from 7am - 6:30pm. All guests must be vaccinated including bordetella and flea prevention. If fur baby has ever shown animal or person aggression, I can not board in my home but can accommodate and do frequent drop ins at your home. I don't do overnight care in the clients home and very limited area for drop in visits unless I have no other pets in boarding at the time) All dogs, including mine,are crated overnight or separated overnight and when we leave the home for safety of the dogs

“Justin took wonderful care of Yoshi- our 5 month old English Shepherd. He kept our pup busy and walked him twice during the 8 hours he was at his house. I will definitely be calling him again! :)”

“Nichole watched my dog Marlee for me for 3 days. I will definitely be going back to her. I work a lot and I did not want my dog stuck inside my apartment all day. Nichole did a wonderful job. I was extremely nervous at first just because of how Marlee would do with the other dogs bc she has not been around dogs a lot but she did really good! Nichole texted me with updates and sent me pictures. She is very nice and kind. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!”

About: My Husband and I have had pets in our family since we both could walk. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves that are treated better than many humans. We understand the struggle of finding the right fit for your babies when you need to travel and are happy to provide as many updates and pictures as needed to make sure you are comfortable with their care. For Puppies, we both have gone through the puppy phase a few times and understand their needs and chaotic tendencies. All of our animals are up to date on their shots. As a bonus, we both work from home, so your pets will get constant love and attention. We will also be happy to help with any other special care needs such as medications, special diets, brushing, teeth brushing, etc. Our animals are very used to new friends and play nice and we have a big backyard for your baby's enjoyment. If your pet stays with us, they will be loved like family! We both work from home, so, we are able to give potty breaks and enrichment breaks frequently throughout the day. Someone will always be home when we are boarding. We live in a house and have a large fenced in yard. All of our animals have their current vaccinations. We have a large Kennel for our Shepard for when we have to leave the house.

“Megan rocked it per usual. Our pack came back tired and worn out. They absolutely love it there and Megan and Jimmy treat them as if they are there own!”
