“Meeting Jemily and her family was not only a great experience for my foster, but for us. These are truly loving and amazing people and they took fantastic care of our 7 month old pup. Chloe was clearly happy judging by the videos and pictures that were sent throughout the stay. It was also very apparent by how happy and content she was when we picked her up. I had reservations initially because she lives in an apartment building, however, seeing all the walks to the lake and care that she received changed my mind quickly. I will definitely ok with Jemily in the future with this and any other foster. Our 4 night stay couldn’t have gone better! Thank you for everything 😊”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! We were doing an overnight test before a longer boarding with Sarah. Sarah did a lot with our dog - out for walks and doing treat-work (which he loves). While our dog may need time to warm up to a new person, he fell in love with Sarah right away. We knew we could trust Sarah with our dog and that he would be happy and content. We will definitely be back as Sarah is a true animal lover and will do her best to take care of our dog.”
“Jessica and Ben did a great job watching Mango! I felt safe leaving our puppy with her and her family and she kept me updated the entire time!”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“My senior dog loved Shannon's place for rover sitter. Now my puppy Maggie is getting spoiled. My dogs have always been cared for exceptionally well by Shannon. Shannon usually has other dogs for my dog to play with. Nice fenced in yard for the pups to romp and play in. My dogs always come back happy and tired out from playing. It's perfect! Highly recommend!”
“Teddy was taken care of very well for the week we were away. He clearly had a ton of fun playing and ate well. I really appreciated that Caitlin took the time to give him a bath and was really thoughtful and accommodating.”
“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“This was Toby’s first sleep over. I was surprised how excited he was to see Bailey again. It brought my wife and I comfort knowing how excited he was to be there. Bailey has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend her .”
“Ashley and David did very well with watching Nova! I definitely recommend them when it comes to drop in visits and boarding! They kept me updated and informed by sending pictures and commented very well! I will definitely be using them in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of rescued and owned dogs since I was little. My parents were dog lovers and that’s where I got it from. I grew up in a home with rescued greyhounds and Italian greyhounds. My parents were very involved in dog shows and that’s where I learned a lot about dogs. When I was in middle school, I got my own rescued Italian greyhound and that’s where I started to learn on how to train dogs. I’ve grown in the training throughout the years with puppies, service dogs, and senior dogs. The biggest thing I’ve learned with working with all types of dogs is that they become family with the unconditional love they give. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10A. I have a fenced yard and a friendly chiweenie to keep your fur baby company. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where it has its own field for dogs to run around and play with each other. I can easily crate your dog if needed. They have access to proper food and water, a safe environment, regular exercise, scheduled bathroom breaks, and most importantly, consistent communication with the pet owner regarding their specific needs and routine.
About: I used to have 3 cats, 2 dogs and 1 rabbit at the same time feeding them and playing all the time. I think I get a huge connection with animals and nature I am not working now, I hace enough time to take care of pets at any time, Even they can stay with me when picking up My daughter at school I have a space pretty Big where I could take them to a walk and run. Space at Home is affordable if they want to sleep or just rest.
About: We've had an intense love for animals for as long as we can remember! My husband's dream as a kid was to be a marine biologists and I ironically wanted to be a vet. In high school I volunteered at the Michigan Humane Society as a Dog Walker, I found that to be very rewarding! I even began college thinking that Veterinary School would be the end goal. When I got my first dog, I almost hyperventilated on the way to pick him up! We have loved/cared for many dogs over many years! Now we have a home bursting with love for animals! We have two fish, 9 chickens, two dogs, two ducks, and one guinea fowl! And we have space in our homes to help our neighbors. Whether it is a couple nights away for a date, or a couple weeks away for family vacation. Even if you have some sort of emergency we take same day request with little notice! I am a stay at home mother, I can care for your pups like I care for my own children and pets! All day attention, lots of play! My schedule is very flexible and we are home most of the time! My two dogs have full reign of the house. I will care for the visitors accordingly. That may include crate time depending on feedings, etc. But if pet parents want their dogs to stay free to roam I can accommodate that as well. I feed my two separately, and I have the space to feed the visitors the same. We have an enclosed deck no stairs no way to jump out dogs can hang out there safely.

Thank you again Maria for the peace of mind the whole time Jackson was in your care.”
