“Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!”

“Cairo had an amazing time with Nayoma! It was so reassuring to know that he was receiving such great care and attention while I was traveling, we will definitely be back!!”

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“As always, Tasha takes such great care of our doggy, Daisy! We receive lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay and she keeps us up-to-date on how Daisy is doing with the other friends there. We appreciate Tasha so much!”

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”

“Nick was great! He was very responsive via the rover app and sent us pictures of our precious senior boy daily. Nick was able to provide our 14yr old dog extra attention because of his old age which made us very comfortable and relaxed while we were away. 10/10 would recommend as a great, reliable dog sitter.”

“Alexia and her family is amazing and quite attentive to every detail. She took our great pry last minute and was amazing! Communication was great and informative of every day activities, even exposing our girl to new activities. Highly recommend, absolutely will be reaching out when needing a sitter!”


“Natasha paid such attention to detail so that Tank would have a good time at her house!! She was very flexible and accommodating! Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”

“Tyke seemed to have a wonderful time based on the expressions on his face in the pictures she sent daily. He has been stress free since returning home. I hope to have Tyke stay again when we come to visit Michigan.”

“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”

“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”

“Sarah was wonderful from start to finish! She watched my GSD overnight on NYE and was wonderful with communication leading up to and then while he was with her. I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol”
“They are the best. We don’t even wait for a vacation to send our Loki over for a visit. He goes to Deborah’s for a few nights every few weeks just to spend time with his other family and friends there. ❤️”

About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“Teddy had a great time with Deb and her puppies. Very nice play area for the dogs. Would recommend her to anyone that is looking for boarding for a day or two or even a week long. She communicates and sends u pics. Thanks again Deb.”

“Savannah was Awesome !!! It was our 1st ever having our dog away from home and to play with other dogs. Our Dex had an Amazing stay. It was stress free and Momma (Wife) was able to relax knowing that her dog was in good hands with Savannah.”


“My dog has never been this relaxed with a sitter. Ryan kept my anxious bulldog and cat calm with extra play and LOADS of snuggles. Zey handled my dog’s meds perfectly. I received photos and detailed updates each day. Zey are patient and great at recognizing animal behaviors. Would book again.”

“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
