Dog Sitting Grawn

About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 21-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.

“Thank you so much for the last minute care for Maddy and Bella! I really appreciate it. Thnks for the gret communication and pictures. I will let you know when I need care again”

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

“Alexa took great care of our cat! She helped us out last minute, which was a huge relief. We came home to find him happy and healthy, couldn’t ask for more!”

“Noah was great at keeping me informed while I was away. I 100% would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible - morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend! **Due to several issues with owners not being on time for drop off or pick up, I want to add that when accepting a booking, the time is very important as well as the day as other appointments may be on my schedule that day. It is very important that the drop off and pick up times selected are accurate for smooth transitions.** I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they are away!

About: I have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time, and a online class. I can work with your animal Thursday after I get done working till Sunday. Maybe other days depending how close you are. I love on your animal like it was my own. I will send pictures of them if you want updates. Follow the directions you give me on what and when you feed them.

“Amber was fantastic for a drop in :) She kept us thoroughly updated with pictures and messages!! Will be using her as much as she’ll see him!! Thanks a bunch, Amber!!”

“From the moment we met Jill we could easily see her instant bonding with our dog Sadie. A few days later Jill made a trip to our house to go over the detail of entry and dog care and to further nurture her positive relationship with our dog. Of course we were not here when Jill made her visit. But Sadie gave her a "5 paw" rating and mentioned that she would like to see Jill again. As a discrete young lady Sadie wished that Jill didn't give us detail on her "tinkle in the yard" but we certainly appreciated it. Plus the added bonus of a picture made our afternoon! Thanks Jill!

About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

“Tristin was great with my 2 kitties. One of my kitties gets very anxious when I am away and sometimes makes messes outside the litter box. Tristin went above and beyond doing some cleaning when this happened. My cat even came out of hiding a few times when he was there. And that is saying a lot. I can not recommend Tristin enough.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a little kid! I love all animals but have had mostly dogs and cats all my life. I have experience in training my own dogs from puppies into senior dogs and they were spoiled rotten every step of the way. I am currently working a part time very flexible job. I have plenty of time to come walk or play with dogs or feed or spoil and take care of them any way they need. I am only available to care for pets in the clients home. I am reliable, respectful and responsible and will give all the fun time needed for your fur baby.

“This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with Tiffany. We have never left our dogs alone for that long of a time and they were very calm and happy when we returned. She sent us pictures and communicated on how the dogs were doing while we were gone. We will definitely use Tiffany again!”

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!

“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”

“So happy to have found Kathryn. She lives close by and is a delightful and kind person who clearly loves animals (and our dogs loved her). She promptly responded to our messages and was easy to communicate with, and she gave us feedback following her home visits without us asking. We would highly recommend her.”

About: I love dogs more than humans and would treat your dog like my own. I am very active and enjoy going for several walks throughout the day. I also am working part time so I always be available and accommodating for any special requests/needs. I am also a nurse and am familiar with giving medications and would feel comfortable doing so for your pup if needed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and take them for long walks. I live by several trails that I take my own pup to often. I own my own house and have a large backyard with a dog run. There are also several trails near by that I’d love to take your dog to!
