“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”
“Meera had a great walk with Alexa today! Alexa came to my rescue when, unexpectedly, I wasn’t going to be able to exercise Meera. With almost no notice on my part, she showed up on time, communicated promptly and clearly, and was lovely with my puppers. Meera is now having a much happier day because of Alexa!”
About: I grew up with several large and small dogs in my household, and I also began watching dogs about 8 years ago. I began overnight sitting around 4 years ago as well. I have also been cat sitting for about 3 years, and have a cat of my own! I am comfortable administering prescriptions to all pets, as well as regular care (potty breaks, clean ups, brushing, interaction, litter boxes, walking, etc). I have worked with pets of all size variations, and am happy to work with yours! I am a full-time bedside RN on night shift, so I work 3 nights a week for 12-hour shifts. My schedule changes weekly, but I would never accept a job that I am not available for. I have great flexibility due to only working 3 nights a week, as I often switch back to days after a stretch, or can stay on nights if preferred. I am happy to watch your pet overnight at your home. I am comfortable with most services, including but not limited to: walking, going outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering prescription medications, brushing pets, feeding pets, and more. If something is needed for your pet that is not listed here, I am willing to talk about it and see if it is in my scope!
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own pets since I was 10. Taking care of animals is my main passion. I used to work at a dog boarding kennel and was in the FFA at the career tech center for a year in high school, where I raised baby sheep and grew chickens. I am currently studying to be a zoologist where I hope to go into a career of taking care of animals! I own many pets myself, so I care for them daily and once a week I do a deep clean of all their cages, tanks and enclosures. Caring for animals is part of my daily life routine. I am attentive and have always been good at understanding what animals need/ want. I will never leave ur pets side unless they want alone time. I can play for hours with your puppy or just sit and cuddle your cat or dog. I really enjoy being around animals so it’s a treat just to meet new furry friends.
About: I've have had dogs since I was a child. Most recently, I have retired and have plenty of time to provide care and attention to your pet as well as my 2 year old, Miniature Golden Doodle, Steve. I have a 1200 Sq Ft outdoor play space and an Indoor play space for rainy days. We walk, take adventures out on Leelanau County trails and beaches. Come play with us! I am recently retired. Love to be outdoors, active and full of adventure. I am open to flexible scheduling. I understand the busy pet owner challenges. I have an outdoor and indoor play space. I believe a happy pup is a busy pup. Walk my pet and yours everyday. In addition to my pup, I will only care for one additional pet. This allows me to give all of the love and attention needed for a happy and healthy pet.
About: I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town. I work in the field of film, which is typically 3-4 projects a month, so I have pretty open availability for pet care in the days between. I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.

About: I’ve been dog walking, pet sitting and doing home check ins for friends family and coworkers since I was 10. Love getting out in nature on long walks or checking in on your pets if you have to be away all day! My 3-4 day work week allows me free time on Monday- Wednesdays for walks and check ins. I’m available most mornings! Occasionally available for house sitting or boarding. I have a large, tidy house where your dogs will be able to roam worry free. I live on a quiet street surrounded by woods and a park nearby, perfect for long walks and lots of trees to sniff without having to worry about street traffic.
About: I'm a college student and I love animals. Throughout all of highschool I volunteered at an animal shelter once a week and volunteer for the summer when I home from college. Volunteering at the animal shelter helped me learn how to read dogs body language and care for dogs of different sizes with different personalities. I enjoy taking care of animals and connecting with dogs. I'm a full time college student during the school year getting my BSN. I’m currently home for the summer and looking for a flexible job. I love spending time with dogs and cats! My priority is the pet's safety and happiness. I have lots of experience working with different animals in shelters and dog siting through friends and family. I would care for the pets by doing whatever the client needed me to do and leaving the house better than I found it.
About: I've had my dog business for 5+ years and I devote my time to special dogs during the day or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other dogs who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit
About: I love dogs! have been dog mama to 3 labs and a little 6 pound rescue guy - currently can’t have my own so would love to fill my heart with your furry pal when you’re away. I’m very active so enjoy walking / hiking / running with a dog. I work very part time - remote- so my schedule is super flexible.

About: Hello! I am mother to one huge Great Pyrenees dog, 2 cats (one cuddly, one cranky) and one human. I have taken care of animals my whole life starting with my own dogs as a child. Later I became a professional pet/home sitter as a side job. Now I take care of my own and my friends pets. I have experience with all sizes and ages including the elderly and ailing. My last three dogs (Jack Russell, medium sized mix, Great Pyrenees) were rescues and I understand the intricacies involved with pets who come from bad situations. I love love cats as well and have taken care of my own for the past ten years. I am currently working full time in education so my summer availability is wide open. During the school year weekends are available for walks and 1or 2 night stays in your home. Pets love their routines! In my house we stick to a pretty standard schedule of two long walks a day with a lot of potty breaks in between. In your home we'll stick to your schedule so your pet can be the most comfortable without its parents. I love long dog walks and play and snuggles too. Cats make their own rules (lol)! Cat snuggles are always welcome and my cats love short play sessions. Maybe yours do too?
About: I love dogs and tailoring care to their individual needs. I'm great with puppies and senior dogs, and I excel at calmly handling anxious or reactive dogs. My strong situational awareness and quick decision-making skills ensure I can provide the best possible care in any situation, keeping both dog and owner happy and safe. I’m currently working Mon-Fri starting at 5 pm. My availability is all weekdays up until 4 pm and some weekends all day and into the evening. I treat every client's home with the same care and respect I'd give my own, and always providing ample notice and adhering to specific requests.
“Leila is a wonderful dog walker. She is pleasant, reliable, and a true animal lover. I trust her with my Furbaby 100%. My dog looks forward to her arrival and is happy and RELIEVED 😉 when she gets home.”
About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.
About: Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own personal national park? Now your furry friends can enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and their own private park like setting with over 80 acres of leashed exploration and even a few fenced in acres for off leash play. I am a retired professional with a desire to cater to animals who are accustomed to getting individual attention year round and expect their custom treatment, cuddles, and meals to be routinely available even when the rest of their service humans are not. I have a have a senior golden retriever who is slowing down at 12.5 and we are simply more active than he currently requires. I enjoy getting to spend all day with animals and am opening up our special place to our furry local friends. Rest assured that I will care for your animal family beyond how anyone would care for a human family member. I also understand that the pet's safety and security are paramount to the quality of the experience for both the pet and their family. Also, belly rubs on demand.

Karen B.
“Karen is one of the only people I trust to take care of my two English bulldogs. Bulldogs are quite sensitive to heat, too much exertion and have many other medical oddities, creams and wipes - and Karen handles all of that in stride, bringing water and really listening to what the dogs need, responding to them in the moment. Whether it’s a quick lunchtime walk that turns in to a play time, Potty breaks or even the more adventurous trail exploration Karen has the stamina, attitude and spirit of adventure- That’s just what any dog needs. She also helps my heart by sending me lots of pictures when she is with my babies and I can’t be!”
James C.
“This is the sitter you've been looking for full stop. When looking for someone to watch your precious pets, and likely be in your space, you need someone you fully trust. You want someone who is willing to go above and beyond if the need should arise. Fortunately for myself (and YOU), that person is James! James has cared for my 3 cats and German Shepherd dog multiple times. Those periods have been a short as a weekend, and as long as 2 weeks. Every time, not only are the pets happy as can be, but we received updates throughout and he took care to ensure no blemish was left on our house. James is incredibly responsible, a pet owner/lover himself, and has my full trust when taking care of my family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter.”
Leanne (Lee) B.
“Lee has looked after my two dogs for the last two years. They are still pups and can be a handful. She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She shows up always on time and stays until I've asked her to. Lee gives me peace of mind when I have to leave my dogs for an extended period of time.”

shannon m.
“Shannon is incredible! She is super patient with our pup, who needs an extra minute to greet people. She also is great at keeping him entertained with good play for his rambunctious personality and gives him lots of exercise. She's very flexible with our schedule, trustworthy in our home, and always goes the extra mile. Sometimes I think our pup likes her more than us! I cannot recommend her enough!”
GRACE G.
“Grace is very caring and warm to all pets. She has a dog of her own and is very loving. She is college student now but her dog is always so happy to see her when she comes home. She has volunteered at an area pet shelter and is very committed to kindness to pets. She is athletic and strong. She has done pet sitting and is very caring with good attention to detail.”
Katrina S.
“Katrina was wonderful with my puppy! I highly recommend her!”
Lorretta R.
“I can't say enough great things about Lorretta and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me, and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Lorretta cares for my dog as if he were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. It has been very simple to schedule with her, and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. It has been a pleasure having Lorretta care for our dog, I highly recommend Lorretta to anyone looking for a dog walking service.”
