About: Hi there, Nice to meet you, we are the Reynolds family. This includes myself (Katie - Mom ) (Mike - Dad ) and Our son (Nick). We also have three dogs (Chevy-4,Lucy 2,Bear 5 months) and the cats. We are fosters for a local rescue here in Michigan as well. So sometimes we may have foster pets as well. I (Katie) am currently a stay at home mom as our son is doing school online at this time. We are home most of the time. We do crate at night and when not at home. This is policy and please be advised if you do not like that we crate please don't board your dog with us. I apologize if this sounds harsh but i have my reasons. All the animals in my home are up to date on vaccines and fixed if at least 6 months old. FYI- Bear is not yet fixed- He has a appointment for the end of March 2025 and we be fixed at that time. Everyone is up to date on vaccines as well as flea and tick. They also receive heart worm year round. I do also spray my yard front and back in the warmer months for bugs to help prevent any additional fleas and such. We do have a fenced in yard. But we live of a busy road- This is why i ask if you have a dog that is a runner/escape artist that you inform me - so i can take precautions to prevent this from happening. I feed everyone separate at meal times - for safety reasons. I do not allow a boarding dog to sleep in bed with us. As stated i have Dogs,cats and a child in my home- if your dog is not good with any of these please do not book with me as there safety does come first. No offense. A little bit about us: My husband and i have been married 20 years and lived here in this home for 2 years now. We lived in our previous home for 11 1/2 years. We are a family of three. We have been fostering for a little over 12 years now. We have experience with many types of dogs and the care that they need ranging from giving pills, to giving shots. We have no problem boarding any breed as long as they are friendly with our current pets and like kids. We do not discriminate against any breed. AS STATED ABOVE- We do crate at night and when not home, also at feeding time. We do not board dog aggressive dogs - as i don't have the means to separate them safely. If you don't know how your dog is with cats or children please let me know and we can set up a meet and greet to find out. If you would like to know more feel free to contact me and ask. Hi there- My husband is up between 4am-5am -- to go to work and do potty breaks. I am usually up with him or up at 8/9am- When i get up i do potty breaks again and feed everyone in there crate. Once everyone has eaten then go outside again. Everyone is out and allowed to play as long as they are playing well with the others. if for some reason there is a disagreement we make adjustments to make things work. We play this by ear as every situation is a little different. We do try to feed around the same time we eat which is 5:30/6pm. Of course after dinner everyone gets the chance to go outside and do there thing. The last potty break for the night is usually 9pm or 10pm just depending on when we head to bed..This does not mean if someone wines to go out that they don't get outside.. We do use martingale collars ( also called no pull or no slip collars ) this helps to prevent your dog from slipping away from us when on a walk. We also do not open front door unless everyone is far away from the door. Our gate is not able to be opened with out a key as there is a lock on the gate for this exact reason.

I am happy to stay overnight with pets to make them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I prefer to care for animals at the clients home. I find that the animals are much more comfortable that way and able to stick to their regular routine!

About: I grew up on a farm around all sorts of animals and have learned how to take care of them with my family. I love all kinds of animals and have always had an easy time with animals. I work a hybrid schedule, so I am very frequently home and can help pet parents out with their pets needs. My schedule is pretty flexible. I live in a two story condo, with a basement. My home is pet friendly and pets are welcome on furniture and even on the bed.

“Fran did a great job taking my 70lb bully to play fetch. Would book again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals. Foxes,sugar gliders,dogs,cats,birds and rabbits! I’m willing to go above and beyond for any animal especially my own. I’m Currently a nanny I work part time I love kids and I love animals I’d do anything to make sure they are comfortable. I nanny on the weekend I have open availability! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on their basic needs, such as feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they have a clean and comfortable environment. For dogs, I take them for walks or playtime, and for cats, I make sure their litter box is cleaned regularly. I also monitor their health, give them attention, and provide any medication if needed. The specific care depends on the pet's requirements and the service requested, whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or general pet care.

“Great to work with! Flexible, extremely communicative and most of all, great with my dog! Would highly recommend :)”


About: Growing up I always had pets in my home. From big dogs, small dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, squirrel & even a tarantula! I’m a lover of all animals. I work Monday-Thursday, 9-5! If you need someone to stop by and check on your furry family member while you’re out of town for the weekend or if they need to stretch their legs on a nice long walk I’m your girl! Please message me if it is a different date/time request other than my availability, it’s possible I can accommodate if I’m not working. Unfortunately as of right now I am unable to provide in home pet service. I have two large cats that run this household and they wouldn’t be too happy to share. Cats world! We just live in it.

About: Walked dogs for a great company for 3 years until they relocated. Took some time off but I've missed being around all the animals! I would love to help take care of your fur babies when you need some help! I currently only work weekends at my job and my children are teenagers now so I have plenty of time on my hands when I'm not working. I live in a townhouse so I would not be able to take care of your fur babies here, but I am very respectful and trustworthy to tend to your pets in your home.

About: Growing up with all types of animals my entire life, it was crystal clear I had a passion from quite a young age. Throughout many years, I have had the pleasure of volunteering at multiple animal shelters, worked at quite a few doggie daycares and boarding facilities, a veterinary office, and even went to school to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant! I also walk dogs and do boardings in my home and client’s homes for Wag! and have many repeat clients. I have over 50 FIVE STAR reviews!!! I have experience with exotic animals, the little ones (hamsters, ferrets, etc) and of course dogs and cats. I can't ever imagine a life or a job that doesn't involve dogs. After all, if you LOVE what you do, you don't work a day in your life!!

8. Pamela C.
“Don’t look any further for a more loving pet sitter. Pamela has watched our Sailor several times (many overnight stays) and to our joy, she treats him as though he were her own pet. Whenever we drop Sailor off, he is excited to see her which is very comforting. Our dog Sailor has a few “needy” quirks that Pamela understood from the very first visit. I have seen her with other animals and she treats them all with the love and patience you would want for your pet. Trust me, you and your pet will love her! ❤️”

10. Brooklynn M.
“Brooklynn has cared for my pup, Lanie, several times now. We've had her stay in our house and watch over things - and also our pup - when we've had travel that has taken us away for a week or two at a time. Your pet truly couldn't be in better hands. We got regular updates from Brooklynn, our pup loved her, and she got tons of attention and exercise throughout the day. Brooklynn always left our house spotless and made sure to grab mail and address anything that came up. Truly a life-saver to have someone that you can trust with your dog and your house. Will happily use her again and again whenever we have a trip that takes us away from our pup and our home for any length of time. Highly recommended!”

Her gentle approach and deep understanding of animal behavior make every interaction genuine and effective.

She has been phenomenal with them and they love her a lot! Bella and lucky really got it made when I’m not there and that’s what it’s about for me.
