“Shelly is an amazing pet care sitter. Daily she went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. We were many miles away and we were confident the cats would receive awesome care! We'll book Shelly again!!”

About: I have had family pets for my whole life. Dogs and cats, chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I worked at a horse barn for over 2 years. My cat had passed away over a year ago from liver cancer. I am used to incorporating medicine in food, pills or even a syringe directing in the mouth. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time for daily care including walks, sitting or feedings.I am also available for weekly routines as well. I love to look at notes/routines provided from the client and follow accordingly. I love to send update pictures/videos to keep updated on their pets daily as I do my best for their pets to have the best time. I do not take risks as the wellbeing of pets are paramount.

“Katie has been great with coming over to check in with my dog. She is on time, plays with him and gets a good amount of outside time and cuddling.”

With my nursing background, I’m comfortable providing both oral and injectable medications, and I take pride in making sure every pet’s health and safety come first.

About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for at least 20 years. I love each as if they were my own. I also love turtles, and frogs but don’t have much experience with them. ❤️🐸❤️ I can do dog walking, and any other daily drop ins you may need. My schedule is very open for any house/pet sitting you may need also. I’d like this to be what I do for a career. I am willing to stay with your pet in your home and to walk your dogs in their favorite places. I want them to feel at home and comfortable.

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

About: I worked at Potter Park Zoo. I have experience boarding, and training dogs. I have the experience to keep your pets both safe and happy. I care for dogs and cats daily as the owner of a boarding facility. This will be another offering for my customers and the community. There is opportune time to attend to in home visits. I will use my experience of owning a boarding facility, which can house up to 34 pet guests, to care for your pets in your home. I will feed, let out and interact and play with them.

About: I’ve had the joy of owning cats and dogs for many many years. I have owned several varieties. I have also had the joy of taking care of other peoples pets. I currently work part-time and I can fit pet Care into my daily and or weekly routine with ease. I am available for more hours in the summer. I tend to care for others pets in their home or walking. I do have my own pets and I know it’s not best to introduce unknown animals.

“Sarina did a great job with our cats. She provided great detailed updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”

Silvia W.

“Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.”

Kristin L.

“Molly is the ONLY person I’ll ever consider when having to leave my dogs home while I travel! She was FANTASTIC with my dogs and they ADORE HER! She is uniquely qualified as a Vet Tech, and I felt very comfortable in knowing my older dog’s meds were given and given correctly. My dogs were so well cared for that they really weren’t overly excited to see me when I returned! Thank you, Molly, for the outstanding care and attention you gave to my dogs!!!”

Julie S.

“I had a great experience with Sara as my new pet sitter! She was quick to respond to messages and kept me updated throughout her visits, which gave me real peace of mind. She took excellent care of my cat, Buddy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, having the unique experience raising and training dogs through my father, an experienced police dog trainer and handler. I have a lot of patience and take great care in handling dogs of all breeds. I have skills and experience in crate training, potty training, leash training, getting pets used to kids and other animals, and breaking food and toy aggression. I am available for drop-in visits and walks for all animals. I am able to board up to 3 dogs at a time. I am able to pick up and drop off for an additional fee of $30 each. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. For boards longer than 3 days, I require a “doggy day care” trial with a minimum of 4 hours to ensure your beloved pet and I are good fits for each other. Proof of vaccines required. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have the flexibility to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day. Having three children, we are big fans of routines. I ensure integration of your animals into our daily routine. We live on an acre with a fenced in backyard. Because of the foliage, I do require your dog to be on a tick preventative for their safety. We will keep your fur baby company, loved on and entertained! We spend a lot of time at home, so your pup will never get lonely under our care. I also take time to read your dogs cues and body language and teach my children how to read these and the importance of respecting animals and their boundaries. We treat all animals with love and respect.

“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”

“Rafael was loved by our kitty. He provided photos of kitty each day with a detailed report. He cared for my home. Home was in good order upon my return. Thank you much.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!

“Did a great job”
