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: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up. Anything from fish and turtles, hamsters, and many cats and dogs! I will never live in a home without an animal. I’m available any day of the week to walk, groom, or even board them overnight. I will just need a day ahead to note it. My yard is un-fenced, but I live in a small neighbor hood that is not busy. I also go outside with my dog to go potty and play.

About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, both puppies and kittens to seniors. I currently have my own dog and 2 cats.

I can easily crate and uncrate pets, I can take them out on a lead, I can calm them down when I get to the house, and I can walk them on a leash.

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 have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

For another client, I would take their dog on hikes in the woods nearby every weekday while they were at work.
