Dog Boarding in Kalkaska, MI

“We had a last minute change in plans and needed to book a sitter to watch our two dogs. We have two very energetic dogs and can be a lot for most people. She was very open and loving towards the dogs since they stepped in the door. I will 100% go back to Cheyenne when we leave again. We received many pictures and updates throughout our entire stay. Cheyenne was extremely accommodating on our drop off and pick up schedule which took a lot of pressure off of us. Thank you so much Cheyenne in taking care of our loved ones.”

“Megan loves animals more than anyone I have witnessed. She took such amazing care of my dog whenever I went on trips. And let me tell you my dog isn't easy to handle, with her energetic, anxiety ridden self, but she loved her and gave her so many cuddles and treats. Her dogs are so used to other dogs from her fostering dogs in the past. Those dogs welcomed mine with open arms. She had so much fun playing with them in her huge fenced in yard. She's one of the few people I would honestly trust watching my animals, she even watched our bearded dragon for us! 💗”

“It was obvious from the start that Jackson (my 8-pound chihuahua) was going to be in great hands! Heather and Rich were very careful with the introductions, taking the time to get all the dogs off on the right foot by introducing them gradually with treats and praise. They were clearly very experienced when it comes to small dog care, and I got plenty of pictures of Jackson burrowing into various sweatshirts and such to stay warm (hey, that's what he does). My dog really seemed to be at home with the other members of the pack and their household routine. Even though I normally feel nervous about leaving him, I would actually feel really good about dropping Jackson over at their house for another dog vacation!”

“Again, I am so grateful for the care provided by Kimberly, Jeremy and their family. I am blessed to have their availability when I have to travel for work.”

“This was the first time my dog, Tulie, has gone to a “strangers” house to stay. I thought she might have separation anxiety, as she is quite attached to me. My worries were dashed as she quickly settled in with the family. Rachel sent daily updates with pictures and a cute video of her daughter playing with Tulie. I definitely would highly recommend Rachel and Ivan for dog sitting.”

“Took on my absolute last minute booking with a level head, introduced my kitten to her other cats so that soon they were nice and chummy. I can tell Limbo was well taken care of. Thanks so much!”

“Kathryn was great to work with. Our dog, Finn, was thoroughly spoiled the entire week with so many walks and outside fun. She kept us updated with photos and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pickup. We will definitely be using Kathryn again when we have to travel in the future!”

“Cheryl and Sean are amazing! They took such amazing care of our sweet Phin while we were on vacation up north. They were so thoughtful to send picture and even a video montage of the fun she was having! 10/10 recommend and would trust them with our baby girl any day. Thank you Cheryl and Sean!”

“I was so pleased with having Jared watch my dog Monty while I was out of town. He was conscientious about Monty being a little guy and interacting with his large (and very friendly) dog, and sent me updates every day to let me know how things were going. I was very apprehensive leaving Monty with someone new, but I would highly recommend Jared!”

“She was absolutely fantastic. Gave extra love and effort to my dog with separation anxiety. Thanks so much for all you did for my Kyla!!”

“Janae and her husband were very sweet and responsible with our whippets that stayed a few days. They had some separation anxiety at first and really appreciated the updates and that they were able to quickly calm down and relax in good care! Awesome Rover experience all around and would bring the pups back again next time in TC!”

“Our little dog’s experience with Daniel was excellent. Daniel is warm and loving to his dogs and to visiting dogs as well. His two dogs are friendly, senior and low key. Our dog came home relaxed and clearly well cared for. I would certainly come back!”

“First time our 5 year old mini daushound spent at a sitters Sophie had a great time! Lisa is attentive to her needs and interested in Sophie being welcomed into her home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with Miss Sophie. Sophie will be coming to visit again.”

“Ashley was an amazing communicator!!! I received so many photos (which gave me peace of mind). I will absolutely be using her services again. My dog came home happy & healthy!”

“Michael is excellent with my anxious dog Ellie Mae. My husband recently had a knee replacement and is unable to walk our large black lab, Michael has been very helpful. He is flexible with timing and Ellie loves him! I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a kind and honest dog walker:)”

“Sweet, caring, kind and excellent communication. Lots of updates and pictures of what my dogs were up to. Both of my dogs really enjoyed their stay and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands.”

“I can't say enough great things about Lorretta and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me, and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Lorretta cares for my dog as if he were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. It has been very simple to schedule with her, and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. It has been a pleasure having Lorretta care for our dog, I highly recommend Lorretta to anyone looking for a dog walking service.”

“Emily was great! She was flexible with drop off/pick up times, took the dogs to the dog park and kept me up to speed with some photos! The dogs came home tired and happy.”

“Arianna took great care of Lady! She will treat your pets like her own. She is great at communicating and shares frequent updates.”

About: I believe dogs and cats are better than humans. I’m currently training a puppy as a service dog candidate and my days revolve around puppy care and training. I use a positive training approach and have experience with all kinds of dogs from chihuahuas to hounds to labradoodles. I’m a part time online college student trying to make enough money through freelance gigs and other forms of the gig economy. I have tons of free time that’s already dedicated to pet care so may as well add a few more to the mix. Your pets safety is of the utmost importance to me. Caring for a pet begins with establishing a trusting relationship between me and the animal as well as you. I want all parties to feel comfortable with my presence and I adapt to the needs of the pet rather than the other way around. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard (6ft) for doggy daycare on a case by case basis.
