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, I make sure that everything is done just the way they're used to.

“Andrew is very respectful, caring and kind. He sent very detailed pictures and messages about each visit. We would definitely have him back!!”

About: I have 3 dogs, one is highly sensitive so I have experience with high sensitivity. My family designated me as the animal sitter so I have years of experience with many types of animals—dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, fowl, amphibians. I have also shadowed at the shelter and have helped them administer medications to animals and help higher needs animals. I have every other weekend off and available most afternoons. I love being active and engaging with animals during walks or playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. I have a fenced yard, and three dogs—including one highly sensitive pup—so I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments. I can crate if needed and follow feeding or medication instructions. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of many pups over the years and now I’m looking to expand that with Rover! I grew up with dogs and don’t currently have any of my own so I will treat your furry friends as my own🐾 I am working part time and have good availability for day checks and stay-cations! Message me for more details and we can work something out! I do not offer in home care at my house, but I have experience both checking in and staying in others’ homes with their furry friends🐾

About: I have done work in first aid and training with animals for most of my life. Pets are a part of your family and deserve the best! I work 9 to 5:30 in houghton Lake Thurs.,fri.,sat., mon.,and Tues. On Sundays I work 10-4. I am fully available on Wednesday and Thursdays. I can fit pet care in the mornings and afternoons on workdays. Keeping pets safe, happy and comfortable is a must. I have two gentle giants of my own and a large yard to run and play while supervised.

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to lizards and rats, I love all of them equally. I couldn’t imagine a life without a pet companion and would do anything for my pets, and yours too. My cats like to wake me up right around seven for their food, I feed them and give them fresh water every morning. I work Monday thru Friday and as soon as I get home everyday my cat Howard is right at the door to greet me, he never fails. I usually sit with for sometime then he gets some food. If they’re not lounging around the house or napping on my lap I like to play with their toys. They also love to watch bird a squirrel videos on the tv. Like I said previously, my pets take priority in my household, I am very attentive to my babies and can tell right away if something is off and we do not hesitate to take them to the vet, and I always do exactly what the vet recommends.

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am 25 years old. I am an ambitious, adventurous, vivacious individual. I am currently in my second year of college at Mott Community College working toward my Associate's in Psychology, so that I may then transfer to the University of Michigan to achieve my Bachelor's. Once achieving my Bachelor's, I would like to work as a counselor for a few years before going back to school for my Master's so that I may eventually become a bereavement therapist and open a private practice. I am currently a member of the Psychology Society at Mott and I was selected to join the Mott Community College's chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success. I have been taking care of dogs of various breeds since I was old enough to take care of myself, having owned numerous amounts of dogs for about 20 years. Neighbors, friends, family, and a few Rover clients have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend time with their pets for the past 5 years -- possibly longer. I am not certified yet, but I intend to take a CPR & First Aid course for dogs as soon as possible -- hopefully, I never have to use it. But it would bring me peace of mind knowing that if there were ever a situation with my dog or someone else's dog, I'd know what to do. I intend to take a pet grooming course as I would be able to offer more grooming services. And lastly, I also intend to take a dog obedience/training course so that I may offer training services as well. Being a full-time student takes up the majority of my time, thus I am looking to start up cleaning, dog walking/dog-sitting, and babysitting/nannying businesses so that I may keep a steady income for the next few years. I am taking all of my classes online and will eventually switch to going on-campus for my classes, but that will most likely be in a few years when I am attending U of M -- which would require me to move out of the Northern Michigan area. As a member of the Psychology Society and the NSLS, I may occasionally need to travel for a couple of days to Flint for an event -- especially considering I may apply for and take on one of the positions in the Psychology Society. With that being said, I would prefer to have a decent amount of time to prepare and set a date on my calendar for any services I will be providing for you. I will also make sure to keep my availability up-to-date. I would also appreciate cancellations to be in advance as well, but I do understand that life happens. In clients' homes, I will take your fur baby/babies to any nearby parks and/or long walks on any trails. I offer grooming services such as bathing, ear cleaning, and hair brushing. I request that if I am in your home, you leave me a list of my responsibilities. I do not mind caring for young puppies that are still in the process of potty training. I just request that you let me know exactly what cleaning supplies you would like me to use to clean up any messes if he/she has an accident -- preferably this won't happen as I will be around and will have the time necessary to avoid accidents inside. Currently, I am not offering boarding or doggy daycare services because my dog does not get along well with other dogs. But I do plan to start offering those services again in the future... I have a decent-sized yard, but it is not fenced in. I have a leash hooked up outside to easily let your dog/dogs out for potty breaks if the weather is too bad for a walk. I have two full baskets filled with toys from bark box to play with and I try to stay stocked up on treats from the Three Dog Bakery! You can bring your treats as well if you give your dog a specific brand of treats. I have no problem with dogs getting on my furniture, but I do also have an extremely comfortable Serta dog bed if you have taught them to stay off of furniture. If your dog is puppy pad trained rather than trained to go potty outside, then I would need you to provide the pads as I do not have any. I am also okay with boarding/dog-sitting a puppy in my home once I am offering those services again as well, even if he/she is still in the process of potty training. I just request that you provide a kennel or crate in case I need to leave my home for anything. I would not leave the puppy attended for longer than an hour and a half.

About: I'm a pet owner myself and have been for 25 plus years. Have a lot of patience and love for dogs & cats . Love walks and playing fetch. Flexible and willing to travel. Comfortable with any breeds or sizes. Have experience working with all ages and health conditions from working with blind dogs to diabetic dogs. Will be able to follow medication charts and will make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. Have volunteered time at shelters in the past. Will be able to pet sit for long periods while owners are away. Dependable and reliable care provide. Also basic grooming skills. I like to follow schedules as I believe potty breaks should be every two hours so pets are not having accidents. Hope you consider me for your next pet sitter. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule. While pet sitting my main goal is your furry friend. Walks and potty breaks will be a priority. I will be caring for pets in the clients home only. As I have a senior dog that is not well with other pets. It’s always more comfortable for the pets to stay in their own environment.

About: I've had family dogs my entire life, and it has truly been the best. I am a big dog lover, and I grew up caring for neighbors' dogs while they were away. I work every day from about 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM. Therefore, I have early mornings and evenings to attend to your pets! I'm typically unable to run home mid-day. I do a ton of housesitting and dogsitting for families in the area. I'd love to keep your dog comfortable and entertained during my time with them. Going for walks is one of my favorite things to do!
