House Sitting in Harbor Springs

“Our pups were calm and happy when we returned home - and Isaiah sent some fantastic photos!! He left our home super tidy and kept in touch the whole time we were gone. Great job!!”

“Sarah was phenomenal! All 3 dogs warmed right up to her immediately, and she did a perfect job with all the detailed instructions we left her; including giving time-sensitive anti-seizure medications.”

Miki S.

“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”

“Katie took great care of both of my dogs! My elderly Akita is kind of on his last legs and is high maintenance and she got him all sorted out. They were very happy when we got home 😁”

Emma T.

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would! I have had some medical issues so am currently not working and am available whenever your pets need a sitter! I have open an availability currently. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.

“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am excited to help some families out and give them peace of mind with caring for their fur-babies!! I can’t wait! I am currently working as a nanny! This would be great for me as my schedule gives me free time in the mornings and evenings! I have plenty of time to play, feed, and spend some time with your fur-babies!! I am able to care for your pets as needed! If that’s walks, play time, or just a potty break during the day, I’m your girl!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.

About: I've been a care taker for over a decade now! Everything from nannying, to the developmentally disabled, to house sitting, and finally pet sitting. I care for others and their loved ones as I would want someone to care for me and my loved ones. Our pets are such a precious part of our family and deserve to be treated that way. I believe if we love and care for thy neighbor our neighborhood will become a better place. I have my own business and make my own schedule so I can fit in pet care into my schedule fairly easily! I also have my own reliable vehicle that can get me to your pet safely! I am willing to crate your dog if this is your practice! I also have a big back yard where your lil fur babes can run around and play! I work from home most of the time so I can be their companion during the days as well.

About: Hello, My name is Amelia. I am a paraprofessional off for the summer. I started when my aunt asked me to take care of her dog while they were away on vacation and I absolutely fell in love. Since then I have dog sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I love being outside and walking around neighborhoods and exploring different tails/parks, doing any of those activities with a furry friend makes the experience so much better. I love to cook and create healthy, whole, local meals. I like to keep things clean and smelling fresh. I am off for the summer so my schedule is pretty open. Im looking to fill up most of my week days with fun walks I like to know your schedule and use that as how I spend my day with your furry friends. I do like to get out as much as possible.

“Tina is a wonderful and reliable petsitter. She cared for our two Boxers and one cat in our home for 10 days and we got very sweet photos. House was in the exact condition we left it when we got home. All pets were happy. The dogs snuggled with Tina in bed every night, just like they do with us. Shy kitty cat even came around to get some love. Definitely recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life, so being around animals comes very naturally to me. I’m extremely comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with basic dog training, including potty training, leash manners, and teaching simple commands like sit, lay down, and stay. Whether your pet loves playtime and walks or prefers cuddles and quiet company, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and care. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care you can feel confident about. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. As a realtor, I often work remotely and create my own schedule, so I’m able to stop by for potty breaks, feeding visits, walks, playtime, or check-ins as needed. Whether your pet needs quick drop-ins during the workday or extra attention while you’re away, I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I believe many pets feel less stressed when they can stay in their own home surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and schedules. I make sure pets stay on their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and independent. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and recently I’ve been going to the cat cafe here to make sure I know how to properly socialize with kitties! I have the same schedule at work every week so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your babies! I can always move around some things if needed. My apartment is very safe, and has a huge grass field for dogs to play in! For kitties I have a good sized apartment that they can run around and play in.
