About: I’ve had my family dog since I was about 9 years old and have always loved looking after him. I’ve also done volunteer work at a shelter in Romulus which mainly consisted of stray pitties… all the dogs need some love <3 Throughout my whole life I have also owned multiple reptiles and other small pets, currently spoiling a little corn snake and a sassy leopard gecko :) As of recently, my associates degree from Schoolcraft college was achieved so my daily schedule is almost completely open, I will try my absolute best to keep my calendar up to date so no mistakes happen in the booking process :) Growing up always having pets, and then now having six of my own up here in Marquette, I feel like I’ve always had a very caring demeanor. I’ve also dealt with dogs and cats with various conditions that have taken various levels of needs and medications, and feel comfortable doing so.
“Ryan gets an A+. All the things you want in a sitter - on time, courteous, friendly without fawning, great listener - an all-in-all excellent experience. We rescued our two a few months ago, and this was their first experience of being without at least one of us [reallly sensitive after a BAD previous adoption]; it couldn't have gone better. Although somewhat leery of strangers, they wormed up to Ryan within 5 minutes. He was understanding and caring with them, and our worries disappeared. We will have him again (if we ever leave the house!).”
About: I grew up on 10 acres of land, surrounded by nature. During my time there, I helped raise Irish Wolfhounds, gaining hands-on experience with these gentle giants. Years after, I adopted two fur babies and dedicated myself to helping them overcome their trauma and insecurities, providing them with a safe and loving environment." As a Program Director, I have the flexibility to manage my own work schedule. I also live less than five minutes from my workplace, allowing me to come home frequently to care for my fur babies. As a Rover sitter, I provide tailored pet care in both my home and clients’ homes, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, administer medications if needed, and offer companionship to reduce stress. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with regular potty breaks. In clients’ homes, I maintain their routine, respect their space, and provide updates for peace of mind. My priority is always the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness.
About: I have been around animals for most of my life and love hanging out with them. I have also been a house sitter a couple times for some of my family members while they are out of town as well. I'm currently attending Northern Michigan University so I will be mostly available on weekends as well as most weekdays after 3:30pm. Any other times can be discussed as needed! I am a very tidy person so I can keep the house clean, and clean up after any messes a pet might make. I will make sure to play with your pets and keep them well fed, and following any medical instructions!
