About: I have owned and cared for many different breeds of dogs over my lifetime. I have 6 years of experience with a leash-reactive dog who pulls on leash, and carried on with training that was given by a professional trainer for leash-reactivity and pulling on a leash. I have also cared for dogs for family and friends, providing loving attention, food, water, medications, exercise or walks, and waste clean-up. I am mature, dependable, faithful & dedicated. I am not on social media and do not play internet games. I will only use my phone for occasional pics of your pet to share with you, or for emergencies while caring for your dog(s)! I am retired, so I am pretty flexible to care for your dog(s). I can also be available on very short notice and for emergencies. I am not able to care for your dog(s) in my home. I am organized and follow instructions carefully. I will care for your dog at your home as you desire, to the best of my ability. I like to snap occasional photos of the dogs I care for, to share with you, so you can see what your pup is up to!
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
About: I grew up with all different types of house pets. I've worked at a vet office, a groomers and have watched pets in the past. I have watched pets in the past with special needs as well. I will do everything I can to comfort your furbaby while you are away. I am a stay at home mom looking for a flexible job. My son is in school during the week, my daughter is 4 and will most likely be with me while I care for any furbabies. I have an invisible fence so I would use a lead or a leash to walk your furry companion to let them potty, play and get some energy out. My home is a perfect way to get your furbaby socialized as I have a playful dog of my own, a cat and two playful, loving kids. I can do drop in visits or in home care to make sure your furbaby is comfortable while you're away.
About: I would love to walk your dog. Focusing on safety, fun and individualized care. My dog is a senior and is from the rescue. He doesn’t prefer to go on long walks anymore. I walk daily would love to have a companion to join me. I am flexible on schedule. I open to mornings or evenings. Please let me know if u need special arrangements. Your pet’s care is my priority. I will take care of your pet like my own. Big or small - I love them all. Please feel free to ask me questions.

About: Incoming Senior at Michigan State University who is home for the summer looking to earn some extra cash to help pay for school!

“Annelie is absolutely fabulous. She took such great care of our dogs. I always feel uncomfortable leaving my dogs but I felt very comfortable knowing that Annelie was taking care of them. She sent wonderful detailed notes and lots of pictures.”
“Ashley was so helpful and nice. Would highly recommend her”
About: I have been trusted with caring for dogs that have some specific needs or concerns to watch out for. For example, one of my brothers dog’s will (occasionally) detrimentally licks her left paw till there is a wound because she has a lot of anxiety. So when I pet sit for him I have to mindful and aware of her behavior so she is ok. This an example of how I pay close attention to detail with your loved ones, as if they were my own pup or other pet. Caring for my little guy is an important part of my daily routine. I start my day with taking Ollie outside, then his breakfast. I make sure to get him outside at least 4-5 times a day with him (minimum). He also gets a hip supplement and dental chew as apart of his morning routine and dinner is around 6-7pm depending on when we wake up. My apartment is well located near downtown Howell, this provides many different options I can either walk to or drive in 5 minutes or less. It gives Ollie and I (and your dog(s) too!) plenty of variety for exercise and fun.

About: HI! I was meant to be a fur baby mom as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home with babies of all shapes, sizes, and kinds; including bunnies, birds, turtles, cats, dogs, you name it we had it. I took on the responsibility of taking care of each pet we had, considering I was usually the one begging to get it in the first place. My heart belongs in the world of care, leading me to be a pet caretaker since I was very young, as well as a nanny and teacher for several years. I currently have my own fur babies and take great pride in being a rescue mom. I have rescued and rehabilitated 4 dogs, and numerous cats. These experiences gave me knowledge and skill in medication administration, wound care and maintenance, accident clean up, behavior management, patience, and so so much more. I currently have 1 sweet baby of my own (and would have more if I had the space!). Most of the loving companions I have worked with have been extremely medically complex and have truly shown me the love I carry in my heart. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes, ranging from hamsters to 110 pound dogs! No matter the circumstances, in sickness and health, I can promise love, patience, and individualized care to any and all your little loves:) Pet care is truly what I live for. Between caring for other peoples babies as well as my own, I' incredibly fulfilled. I prioritize being able to give my best, individualized care to each pet I encounter and have made this my career while working my way through college. I follow an approach centered in treating each pet in my care as if they are my own. I keep to a structured, thorough routine to provide the most comfort possible. I have the most experience in behaviorally challenged animals and take pride in my patience and kindness I carry with me. Each and every pet has their own needs, personality, and desires and I work hard to honor those to the best of my ability to ensure happiness for all parties. I am a highly communicative person and work hard to be detail oriented, reliable, and put my best foot forward at all times.
