House Sitting in Gladstone

“Christine was very good to our fur babies and even shoveled snow in our driveway. She provided treats for our dogs and was so kind and understanding of our circus of dog chaos when she first arrived. Thank you Christine!”

About: I have a wide array of knowledge taking care of different types of pets, (including, but not limited to rabbits, felines, canines, ducks, chickens). Being raised on a farm gave me the opportunity to work with many different animals. I live an organic natural lifestyle, and so do my current pets. I am pro choice when it comes to vaccinations and healthcare with your pet. I can handle raw feeding (meat and/or vegetables if that is what you require.) I respect an animal's natural instinct, and allow them to be an individual. I'm always know to have a bag of treats in my pockets. My favorite type of dog is a mutt, but I have a sore spot for basset hounds. (I grew up with hound dogs.)

About: I have had a wide variety of animals throughout my entire life. From dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and snakes, I love them all. I have mild experience with farm animals but am comfortable and enjoy being around them. I have also had some professional experience watching animals when working at a pet daycare/boarding facility. On top of this I am about to graduate with a bachelor’s in Zoology so I’ve been able to gain a lot of knowledge through that as well! I am currently working towards my bachelors in Zoology at NMU. I live outside of Escanaba and travel daily so I am in a lot of places during a day. I have very few long stretches' of classes so I am pretty available to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of. I unfortunately cannot have animals in my own home but I do have one very friendly dog if you are looking to socialize your baby while you are gone. I can be very versatile with care as I have had animals while living in the woods and also the city. I am very overprotective of my animals and have a constant eye on them to ensure they are happy, safe and well taken care of.

“Shannon is 100 percent tip notch.. Shannon gave updates with pictures through out the visit. My little girl just loved her., and by the time I got her home she went straight to bed, she had a wonderful time on walks and trips to the beach. I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future. Thank you so much Shannon. We appreciate you 😊”

“I can’t recommend Briana enough! From the start, she was incredibly thorough in understanding exactly what our dogs needed and took the time to ask about their routines, preferences, and any specific care we wanted. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in making sure we felt comfortable made such a difference. Plus, her flexibility was impressive—she was able to handle a wide variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing that she was capable and caring enough to adapt to any animal care situation meant everything to us. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Jayson helped us out last minute and I couldn’t be more appreciative. We were on vacation and he came to our camper and watched our dog for us while we were gone most of the day. Communication was great as well.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and feel confident in my ability be to caring, responsible, and genuine when dealing with any pup. I will treat any dog like my own—with attention, safety, and affection. I am currently working part time from 5-12pm m,w,th,f but I’m usually available in the afternoon on those days from 3-5 and between classes during the week, but any time could work just let me know and I will try to make it work! Weekends I’m free and available. I’m available to either come to my clients home to watch their pet or stop by for walks or feeding. Really any help the client is looking for I will happily do.

“We had Alexa stay at our home with our puppy recently. This was not the easiest ask given it was very hot in our area during her stay and our puppy (prone to heat stroke) needs a fair amount of exercise. Alexa handled it very well. She was very reliable, trustworthy and had great communication before and during our stay, which allowed us to be fully present on our travels and relax while we were away knowing Milo was well cared for. We felt she did a great job and would hire her again in the future without hesitation.”

“Ryan gets an A+. All the things you want in a sitter - on time, courteous, friendly without fawning, great listener - an all-in-all excellent experience. We rescued our two a few months ago, and this was their first experience of being without at least one of us [reallly sensitive after a BAD previous adoption]; it couldn't have gone better. Although somewhat leery of strangers, they wormed up to Ryan within 5 minutes. He was understanding and caring with them, and our worries disappeared. We will have him again (if we ever leave the house!).”
