House Sitting in Grawn

“I felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with Kali and appreciated her communication in advance and during the days we were gone. I'd highly recommend her and will be booking Kali again with no hesitation.”

“Kara did an excellent job of looking after Chewy. He was well cared for and loved. Kara provided good communication and updates while we were away. Thank you again!”

“Gina did a great job watching my special needs, super senior cat Bridget for a long weekend at my house, along with my 15 backyard chickens. Bridget is near end-of-life with multiple health problems including late stage Chronic Kidney Disease with neurological involvement, and she needs multiple daily medications by both the subcutaneous and oral routes to keep her comfortable. Gina provided me with many regular updates including photos and video, and was quickly responsive to my messages. Gina also called right away when Bridget started exhibiting unusual/changed behavior so we could adjust care appropriately. She made the best of a difficult situation. I recommend Gina for in-home pet sitting.”

“Grace is an excellent sitter! This is the second time she has watched my pets, Edmund and Zelda. Grace sends pet updates throughout my trip, and is very engaging. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”

“My pups can’t get enough of Regan and she loves them like her own. I always feel that my dogs and my home are completely safe and well cared for when Regan comes to stay. She’s the best!!”

“Kris is an exceptional caring person. He cared for our dog Skyler for three weeks in our home, while we went to my son’s wedding on the other side of the world. I knew Skyler was in capable hands and never worried about him, which was such a relief for such a long extensive, and emotional trip. Kris we are grateful to you forever for taking such good care of Skyler and enabling us to attend an important event in our lives. You made it possible. Skyler bonded with Kris so well, he was sad to see him go and I can tell missed him immediately. Kris is also an excellent painter and we were able to hire him separately to do some projects, which he did expertly. Thank you again!”

“We are so pleased with Payton and her excellent care for our little pooches. She followed feeding instructions perfectly! Our house was kept clean too! We highly recommend her petting sitting services!”

Nancy K.

“Paige was a delight! My dogs loved her and warmed up to her so quickly which almost never happens. I felt like my pups were in great care while I was away for the weekend.”

Susan L.

“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”

Anne D.

“Kim is a great and trustworthy sitter and we would highly recommend her services! She was very understanding of our dog's schedule and I felt confident that he was in good hands with her.”

Chelsea H.

“Noah was awesome! Our dog, Stirling, was in good hands with daily updates & photos and Noah treated our home with care as well. We arrived home to a happy dog and a clean house. 😊 We will definitely being contacting Noah again when we travel.”

“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”

Sydnee L.

“Another fantastic experience with Amber! Pups are always so chill and house is immaculate when we return. A true pleasure to have her on our puppy/house sitter team!”

CK W.

“Asia is wonderful! I contacted her for a short home stay to watch our 2 cats and 2 dogs. You can tell how much she loves animals - the whole zoo was immediately comfortable with her and she asked great questions about everyone’s preferences and quirks. She was communicative, sent updates, and took great care of both the animals and our home. I would recommend Asia and will be using her for future sitting needs!”

About: I've had 4 dogs of my own that I've cared for from puppy age to end-of-life. I've watched many dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and on the Trusted Housesitters app, as well as fostered dogs for a local rescue. I'm also experienced with reptiles and plants; I have a "green thumb." As a long time homeowner, I will care for your house (and animals!) as if they are my own. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible—I just need WiFi and a desk. As of 2026, I'm following my lifelong dream and selling my house to live in a converted camper van and travel the US! Because of that, I'm best set up to watch pets in your home only; my space is limited. Routine is important to keep pets happy! Whatever it is that you typically do in your home, I will strive to do as well so that they feel as content as possible. I will never yell at or coerce an animal (unless it's a rare emergency); I find kindness and trust go a long way. On walks, I take a safe approach. Regardless of how friendly or obedient your dog may be, I keep them leashed and a safe distance from other animals, people, and children, putting my body in between them and others as we calmly move past. That's being said, I like to let animals be animals! Unless you tell me otherwise, I let dogs be free while on leash—exploring off trail, sniffing what they want, and rolling in the dirt and grass—their walk is their time to find joy in the world and I'm not here to steal it!

“Steph is very detailed and consciousness. She communicated with us as needed. I would be happy to rely on her again for taking care of our dog.”

About: As a dog owner and sitter, I have had years of experience with dogs of different ages. I have learned to work with their different traits, routines, and personalities when caring for numerous dogs. Returning and new clients have appreciated my photo updates with their pup and can rely on me communicating clearly. As a college student I often have the mornings and evenings open as I tend to have classes in the evening. My schedule frequently changes so I often communicate when I am busy. But I usually have pet owners communicate a time they would like me to pet sit and I try to clear up my schedule. I also can work with last minute requests as well as I know life can be hectic. I ensure safety, communication, and a comfortable environment for your furry friends. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure to follow routines that pet parents write out for me, along with giving them picture updates of their pets.

About: I have had had dogs my entire life and do not have one currently. I just moved to Traverse City, have a fenced in yard and will take great care of your pets. I was work remotely so I am home all day and can care for your pet easily. They can be right by my side during conference calls :) I walk every day several times a day, so will happily take your loved one for walks and fresh air. I have a fenced in yard to make things very convenient. I have a very cozy home with a small fenced in very secure backyard. I will walk your dogs as well and let them sleep in my bed.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I have always owned cats and dogs, did baby sitting and pet sitting for family growing up. When I was a child I was in 4H showing my dog and horses. Through 4H I learned a life long love for caring for animals. I provide a specialty service, I will care for your pet and home like it is my own. If you hire me for house sitting, I will get the mail, take care of your home and pet like it is my own, and you will come home to a cleaner house than you left. I can help to provide shuttle service to and from the airport. I can take your pets to any appointment they have during your time away. If communicated, I can provide any number of services while you are away. I am in the process of selling the company that I own. I aim to make pet sitting my full time job. I am committed to being with your pet like it is my own. I want my services to be high end, your pet will spend all of its time with me, getting the same attention they are used to from you. I have a fenced in yard and currently have 2 of the nicest golden doodles around to play with. I can crate your dog if required, take them on car rides or walks. I live less than 2 minutes from a fenced in dog park. I would love to have your pet be my best friend during our time together.

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
