Pet Boarding in Holt

About: I've grown up with spayed/unspayed dogs, tiny and medium sized, and have bathed them throughout the years. I'm less experienced with cats as I wasn't allowed one as a kid, but I would always play with and look after my friends' cats when I got the chance 😸 I'm currently a student at Michigan State University, with a part time job as an ice hockey referee. I am usually home 18 hours out of the day most of the days of the week! I live alone in an apartment on an upper floor. 650 sq. ft of space, so it's spacious. There is also an outdoor yard if needed. Caring for your pets will give me breaks between studying and homework! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, and making your pets happy will make me happy! 😊

“Cari was awesome! I was so worried about my anxious, Velcro dog. But Cari took such good care of him, and so appreciated the updates and pictures. When I picked him up I was overjoyed to see me and wanted to go. But he was shaking and over stressed like he’s been other times. When I come back to my daughters, if we want to go away again for a few days, I will definitely call Cari too take care of him!”

“McKenna cared for Charlie as if he were her own. He had a wonderful time playing with Togo and Grizzly, and she kept us updated several times a day. The huge backyard gave Charlie plenty of space to play, and he slept like a baby when we brought him home. We would be happy to use her services again!”

“Melissa was an awesome sitter for my two cats for a week while I was on vacation. She was attentive to their needs and let them have space to roam & windows to bird watch from. Melissa kept me updated daily with photos per my request. I trust her & would definitely book with her again!”

“Ellen was so attentive and accommodating with our dogs. One loves to play with other dogs and the other doesn’t. She juggled them and their needs and happiness with ease. We loved all the pictures she sent and could tell that they were as relaxed as possible while being away from home and our family for the weekend. Will definitely try to use Ellen again when we need a dog sitter if we can.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s pets since I was 6. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotics! I worked at an exotic pet store for three years while getting my degree in zoology. I am now a zookeeper and would love to take care of your animals. I’m a part time zookeeper and have 15 pets of my own at home. I have plenty of experience in care and enrichment for all species!

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I work in property management, so I’m used to being detail-oriented and dependable, which helps me provide safe and attentive care for pets in my community.

About: I am an MSU alum graduated from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2021, and a huge animal lover! I have had many dogs and cats growing up so i have always had furry friends as a huge part of my life. I began pet sitting for my parents friends when i was in grade school and continued whenever a friend asked throughout college. Throughout veterinary school I was a Rover sitter and pet sit furry friends locally as well as my classmates animals during breaks and holidays. I always make sure to discuss what is going to be most comfortable and convienient for the animal and their dog or cat mom/dad! I am a small animal resident at MSU and I am looking forward to helping take care of my communities' animals at work and in my free time!! From my career, to my beagle buddies at home, animals are my life. I am so excited for the opportunity to get to know other animal lovers in my area while taking care of their babies!! I am a full time veterinarian but looking to help on evenings, weekends, and holidays with drop-in visits, boarding, pet sitting, and walks for fellow animal lovers in the mid-Michigan area Being a veterinarian, I am very comfortable taking care of all animals and have 2 dogs of my own with health conditions that I lovingly care for each day! I will take care of your animals as if they were my own and offer as much love and commitment as I care for my patients!

“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”

“Helen is very friendly and warm. She took good care of Greta for a 3 day weekend. She sent cute pictures of my dog relaxed and lounging on the sofa. I will definitely use Helen’s services in the future when I need to board my dog.”

“Christine was amazing with our 11 yr. old pitbull. She gave him lots of love, attention and extra care when he was anxious. Christine treated him as one of her own. She sent pics and updates every day. Responded In a timely manner and even helped us feel less anxious while being away. She follows directions and uses good discernment. Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”

About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking very many credits this semester and I generally only have to leave for class in the morning about an hour a day. I do work part-time with my longest day on Thursday being a 4 hour shift. I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! For larger dogs, I prefer to care for them at the owner’s place only whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking. This is because of the space of an apartment and also because my roommate has a cat! If your cat stays at my apartment, my roommate’s will stay in my roommate’s room so you do not have to worry about confrontation between the cats!

“Was willing to take my dog at the last minute. Provided as many updates as I wanted and took my dog on daily walks. Appreciate you, Yulisa!! Thank you so much!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with both dogs and cats, along with my ability to adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. I grew up around animals and have hands-on experience with senior pet care, including administering medications and supporting pets with mobility issues. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting routines to keep older pets safe and comfortable. I also work well with younger, more energetic dogs. I enjoy playtime and exercise, and I have a fenced-in backyard that’s great for games like fetch, as well as a walkable neighborhood for regular walks and enrichment. My home environment is another advantage—I offer a calm, quiet space that’s especially well-suited for pets who need lower stimulation or a more relaxed setting. While I do have three cats, I’m experienced in managing introductions and can easily separate spaces when needed. I’m happy to work with dogs who are cat-friendly or those who simply need a thoughtful, structured environment to feel at ease. Overall, I aim to provide a safe, flexible, and comfortable experience tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, and because I work from home, I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, so adding additional pets fits in seamlessly. I build in time for both structured care—like walks, meals, and medications—and more flexible time for attention, enrichment, and companionship. Because I value a calm, consistent environment, I’m intentional about maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, backyard play, or quiet downtime, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. When boarding dogs in my home, I treat each pet like a member of my family, providing a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I maintain regular feeding schedules, offer plenty of exercise and playtime in my fenced backyard, and take dogs on walks around my walkable neighborhood. I also provide attention and companionship throughout the day to keep pets happy and engaged. For dogs with special needs, I can administer medications, accommodate mobility issues, and create a calm, low-stimulation space if needed. My home is set up so pets can interact safely with my three cats or have separate areas if they prefer. Overall, I focus on creating a routine and environment that helps every dog feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

“Nicholas did an amazing job taking care of my dog. I couldn't ask for a better sitter; your dog will be delighted to stay with him!”
