“Sophie was fantastic! She walked my doggy for the bulk of the time I was away on a trip and it was a huge relief to know she was getting such good care on her walks! Sophie was super responsible and responsive. I cant say thank you enough and I would totally recommend Sophie!!!!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!
About: Tailored Care, Happy Pups! Over 20 years experience. What sets me apart is my hands-on, personalized approach to every dog I care for. I adapt to each pup’s unique needs—whether it’s a brisk jog, a leisurely stroll to sniff and explore, a game of fetch, or a fun tug-of-war session. For more laid-back dogs, I create a calm, relaxing environment where they can acclimate and feel at ease. I’m committed to making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and engaged—giving them the care and attention they deserve. Whether high-energy or a couch potato, I’m here to ensure their happiness and well-being! Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to prioritize each dog’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or quiet relaxation, I’m fully available to ensure their routine is followed and their comfort is maintained. I treat every dog as my guest and go above and beyond to make them feel at home—providing personalized care, attention, and plenty of love. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority! Very safe in country with over two acres to play in. No other animals so the dog I am with will get my fullest attention.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether you’re heading out for the day or going on a longer trip, you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I work part time and can be available most days. I enjoy an early morning and would love to be there to support you and your pets needs! When taking your dog out at home I will keep them leashed unless requested otherwise. I can crate them if needed and will make sure they get all of the love and belly rubs they deserve!
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years - my own, neighbors, siblings/grand dogs. I feel their energy and love and give it back. I am a retired school social worker so am very flexible with time. I love to walk and be active and if I have a pet to provide care for - my day feels more purposeful. I would care for pets in a client's home by making sure they get at least 2 walks a day and outside time morning and night. If they stayed in my home I live next to a preserve and a state park. They would get lots of outside time - even in the winter - and lots of love.

About: I have worked with a lot of high energy dogs so I understand and am willing to do the work that is needed for them. I have also worked with dogs that have had traumatic pasts and have spent time working with them to trust their environment and other people. I am a teacher so I have summers off and weekends free. I am also free after school for those last minute date nights and outings. I have two high energy black labs so I am used to dogs that need long walks and lots of stimulation. I am very comfortable around big dogs as mine are both 80 lbs. I prioritize trust and comfort for the dogs I care for. I work to build a strong bond with dogs I work with in order for both of us to have a good time.

I just don't have a fenced in yard but I do own and acre with lots of running and walking room and places for potty breaks and I'm really close to walking paths and sidewalks for daily strolls!
About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. I have a large yard with room to roam, sniff and play. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.
About: I’ve had experience with all types of dogs ranging from Akita’s to Boston terriers. At home I have a high strung Dutch Shepard that could play fetch till his heart explodes and a little purse princess that is content sleeping all day. I am very reliable and flexible. Life doesn’t get much better than being paid to hangout with dogs 😂 I work two jobs. My week job is done by 10:30 in the morning. I usually get a workout in after and my day is done by noon. On weekends I serve wedding so my availability will be scarce. I am paid 30/hr for both but if you pay me more you become my first priority. My dogs at home have an enclosed dog run that is a little less than an acre where they can relive themselves and enjoy outside without the stress of them leaving. My Dutch shepherd goes on walks and hikes with my mom and I. In a clients home I am willing to go on walks and/or bring the dog(s) to parks. On the other hand I am a college student that can hangout with the dog at home and let them out periodically while I study my class material.

He is an orange Tabby and his name is Whiskey! I also have a black golden doodle puppy! He is 6 months old and his name is Chewy! We have 7 1/2 acres that he loves to run around on! ** if I am already at your place to dog sit, there will be an additional charge if you add another dog last minute.**
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs, and I have taken care of a wide variety of them over the years. I enjoy long walks and playing outside.

I am always happy to help out I am currently on a leave from work and looking to walk dogs daily and make that part of my daily routine. My roommate is allergic to dogs so I cannot get my own but would love to become part of yours and your dogs routine, whether it’s daily, weekly, or random one offs! I am always sure to get a full list of instructions for each pet that I care for, knowing care is unique to each animal and what is needed for one pet, might not be the same as the other.

I will care for the pets in the clients home and walk the dogs as well. I will ask the client if they have any special routines for their pet and how they feed them.

“Briana will be the sunshine in both you and your pets life!! Briana cared for our 2 year old male F1B Goldendoodle named Teddy during a family emergency for over 3 weeks! We had to extend Teddy’s stay and Briana was so accommodating and generous. She quickly accepted Teddy and made sure he was comfortable during the personalized travel she offers. She was beyond friendly, very responsive throughout the process, and was very thorough in her screening criteria and care plan questionnaire. This made me feel that Teddy would be safe in her care. This meant the world to me. I would recommend Briana to those in need of someone reliable and who will love your pet as much as you do!”

Jamie F.
“I am delighted to write this testimonial for Jamie Fleming, who was our go-to pet sitter and dog walker for more than ten years when she lived next door to us in Texas. Jamie was truly a gem when it came to caring for animals, and there was no one we trusted more with our beloved pets. Jamie has always had an incredible way with animals; she was not only compassionate and gentle but also highly knowledgeable about pet care. Her understanding of animal behavior was amazing, which always gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in the best hands. Whether it was our energetic dog, Shiner, needing long walks and playtime or our more reserved cats, Penelope and Annie, requiring a calm and comforting presence, Jamie adapted her care to meet their individual needs perfectly. Reliability was another one of Jamie’s strong suits. She never missed a scheduled visit and always arrived on time, ready to give our pets the attention and care they deserved. When she was pet sitting for us, she was very hands on and well intentioned, evident in the way she communicated with us, providing regular updates and ensuring we were informed of how our pets were doing. Jamie’s dedication went beyond the basics. She took the time to get to know Shiner, Penelope, and Annie’s routines, preferences, and even quirky habits. Shiner, who could be quite selective about people, absolutely adored Jamie and eagerly waited for her visits. Penelope and Annie, typically more reserved, showed unprecedented warmth and affection towards her, which spoke volumes about her gentle and loving approach. I can confidently say that Jamie became more than just a pet sitter to us; she was a trusted friend and an invaluable part of our pets’ lives. Her patience, attentiveness, and loving nature made her the ideal candidate for any pet care position. I wholeheartedly recommend Jamie Fleming for the role of dog walker and pet sitter, knowing she will bring the same level of care and dedication to every animal she looks after as she did with ours.”
