House Sitting in Harbin Springs

“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”

“Rachel was an excellent house/pet sitter. She kept our pets happy and well-cared for and I could not even tell she'd been in our house she left it so spotless! She gave regular updates and took care of my plants and bringing in mail and packages. I will definitely use her again.”

“Lauren is the best! She communicated well and was thoughtful and caring during all of our interactions. Otis loved her immediately and I felt 100% comfortable knowing he was in her very capable hands. The house was just as we left it and Otis was happy and tired. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have had a German Shepherd companion throughout my life--very blessed. That wasn't easy either as I lived and worked 26 years overseas--22 years in Asia, and took my GSD with me (every where possible). I have also "owned" some great cats--both here in the USA but also at my home in Thailand. Most of my GSD companions I trained myself and they were great in company--took them to work, took them traveling, had friends over...always good, always gentle, and very smart. I am currently semi-retired, so pet care is actually a nice treat. We--my wife, Hien, and I both animal lovers and enjoy the company of pets. We are unable to care for pets where we live, so caring for pets where they live is a very nice opportunity for us. Enjoyable.

About: I've been a pet owner myself growing up and been taking care of a handful of critters over the past few years, so far it's been a blast my schedule is pretty open for overnight/extended stay pet care at the moment, if I'm not out of town or working a farmers market I'll be available for all your pet care needs any care instructions you have for your pets and home I'll gladly oblige, I'll be watchful and mindful and courteous to ensure the safety and well-being of your pets

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

“Cynthia was great! She made friends with my dogs quickly, one of whom can be suspicious. She stayed overnight in my house for multiple days and left everything spotless. The dogs were happy to have her!”

“Paige is awesome!! We were here for my daughter’s wedding and our first booking didn’t show up. On very short notice Paige responded and arrived ASAP and our young lab Chase immediately adored her. She is energetic and enthusiastic and obviously very good with animals. I highly recommend her.”

“So pleased with my first experience having Lila dog sit our one-year-old Australian Shepard for 2 days in our home. She is very organized, asked good questions to taylor her care, offered good training tips and was successful in getting her to "settle". Most important of all, she formed a lasting bond with her as evidenced by Echo wanting to go into the guest room for several days in a row to look for her, sniff where her belongings were layed, and making me open the closet doors to make sure she wasn't in there! I look forward to having Lila care for our pup again.”

“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and our home while we were away for 12 days. She treated our dog like he was her own with lots of love, cuddles and walks! I highly highly recommend Wendy for your pet sitting needs. She is the best!”

About: I've always loved all animals, always caring for or begging my folks for another fur baby. I grew up on farm, then moved into town. I was active in FFA. All animals including wildlife have been a part of my life since I was born. Cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, birds, lizards, I even raised a baby squirrel. You name it I've probably have cared for it! I retired "young", so I have all time for your pets and mine! I'm available for long walks which my husband and I do daily for ourselves (sometimes twice a day). We love Spring lake and there is a lovely shady park near our home that has two dog parks We have a huge fenced yard and three indoor/outside cats to keep your fur baby company. Or, I can come to your house for potty breaks, play time, walks or pets.

“Sarah was incredible with our puppies. She was so down to earth, reliable and knowledgeable with our fur babies. I loved how engaged she was; it was wonderful to relax on our afternoon of wine tasting knowing that our pups were safe and well taken care of❤️”

About: At my youngest age, I balanced on the lines of wanting to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist. My passion for animals and other life forms on this planet fuels my love and enjoyment of spending time with the pets I have and had in the past, along with new furry friends to meet. Currently working a flexible internship with a good amount of free time. Happy to fill it walking doggos, checking in on any furry friend, and love pet sitting over night. Safe and quiet home environment with a private backyard and lots of windows to catch sun rays. Play space and plenty of toys to choose from. I am also a person who enjoys talking to animals so I will consistently talk to them!

“My husband and I loved Michaela taking care of our two corgis. She has dog magic that's for sure! We had just moved from out state, and our dogs were stressed of course from all the months of packing and travel. Our older dog is pretty much a couch potato not wanting much activilty at all. The reason I say Michaela has dog magic is because when the dogs met her, they immediately began their wonderful playful dog dance with each other around the house. She sent us videos each day of the dogs and it was delightful to see our older dog so inspired to go out and have some good fun he hasn't felt like in a long time. We love Michaela, our dogs love Michaela! This was our first time having a pet sitter, and she made it wonderful experience for us and the dogs.”
