“Kristopher and his family were so welcoming to Daryl, and there was a lovely dynamic among the dogs. They provided all Daryl’s favorite things: other dogs, family, and space to play. We had absolutely no qualms leaving him there. Communication with Kristopher was very easy. We will definitely reach out again!”


“Josh was amazing with our puppy! Super kind, helpful, and quick to respond and Rover! Nova loved playing with the other dogs there and she was introduced to frisbee! Would highly recommend Josh as he takes the time to let your dog out to play/walk/social with other dogs!”


“Lindsay is wonderful! She helped organize a meet and greet with our pups so I felt more than comfortable leaving Kirk. Her communication is above and beyond. Kirk came home tired and that is exactly what we needed :)”


“Lynn was an amazing sitter for Archie! We are so fortunate to have found her. She was incredibly flexible with our meet and greet and early dropoff hour. Archie didn’t want to leave her place and was thoroughly exhausted when he got home!”


“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”


“Miller had a great day with Daniel. This was his first time being away from us and when I picked him up he seemed very calm and happy. Daniel kept me updated during the day with pictures of my happy boy which I really appreciated. Excellent, timely communication as well.”


About: *** Starting Tuesday, September 2nd, I’ll be starting my new job! Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. I've raised, trained, and loved my dog Penny for 11 beautiful years. Unfortunately, due to her cancer, I had to say goodbye to Penny June of 2025. She was the light of my life and I miss her dearly. With the house empty, and lots of time on my hands, my heart is now ready to help pups relax, play, and feel lots of love! This home is a cozy oasis for pups of all ages! Plenty of blankets to choose from and a huge couch to relax on. Said couch even has the perfect view of the bird feeder that the local critters give a big 5 stars. A see through fence that keeps dogs safe while not obstructing their view of the beautiful scenery. They might even catch a glimpse of the deer and turkey that pass by daily! At the moment, I am unemployed, so I am available for any time or day. While I was working, and Penny was still around, my daily routine would consist of waking up at 5am, dropping Penny off at grandmas (my mom), going to work, picking Penny up around 3pm, getting home and preparing both of our dinners, some couch and tv time, going for a walk, and depending on the weather, spending the evening out on the front patio. Within my own home and clients home, fresh water must always be available. I consistently check door locks, ovens, and plug-in objects that create heat such as heated blankets, coffee makers, toasters, etc. I never let smoke alarms be left at low battery.

“Jayme and family were wonderful! Our dog was calm, at ease, and sleepy when we picked him up from a long early afternoon to late evening daycare visit. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience for him. Thank you so much!”


About: Hello, I would love to care for fur baby, a dog or a bunny. I have cared for dogs since I was in middle school (that's a long time past, lol). Through my mom hood and beyond. Friends, family, neighbors, unknown ones have been very happy with my care. I'm looking to care for potty trained, small-ish sized, gentle, loving dogs. I do walk them 3 times a day, for I don't have a fenced area. I don't have any pets myself and no young kids. Your baby would have my full attention ! I also have experience with in-home bunny care. thank you, Deb I am retired so I can spoil your bunny or dog all day long. I have no children at home, so they'll get my full attention. I have no pets and truly miss one to love. I can care for your dog or bunny in my home, and possibly at your home. As long as pet is potty trained no need for a cage if not desired. I am one that loves to care for people and pets.

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them on my own when I was 10. I’m now 30 and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats, as well as some exotic pets. I currently have one dog and one cat who I adore. I’m comfortable giving medications since my own cat takes daily pills for a chronic condition, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable care. I truly love animals and always enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. I’m currently working from home and have flexible hours, so I can be pretty flexible about when I’m available during the weeks! I’m usually busy on weekends but I don’t mind a weekend request. If I’m available I will be there! At home I have backyard space at my townhouse where I can take my dog/other dogs out to use the bathroom! When I’m on my lunch break I can take dogs for walks around the block to get some exercise in for both myself and any dogs I’m watching 😊 When I go to clients homes I am happy to play with the pets, spend some time with them, and take them on a fun walk to burn off some energy!

“Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.”


“Wow, we are so pleased with Mollys care by Amber. We are visiting Michigan and had family obligations that were not dog friendly. Amber was flexible and delightful. Thank you for everything!!!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since my teenage years and have had four of my own since 2009. Currently, I share my home with two sweet pups, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, basic training, giving meds, and giving each pet the individual attention they need to feel safe and happy. What truly sets me apart is how much I genuinely love being around animals. Whether it’s snuggle time on the couch or a long walk around the neighborhood, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work full-time from home, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I rarely leave for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet will never be left alone for long. I love going on at least one long walk each day—it’s a great way to get energy out and bond with the pets I care for. I’m also available for in-home stays if your pet is more comfortable in their own space. My flexible routine allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s playtime, snuggles, medication, or just some quiet company. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. If I’m staying in your home, I treat both your space and your pets with the utmost care and respect. I’m clean, organized, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—if not better. During my stay, your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and companionship. For longer stays, if your pets are comfortable with other dogs and we’ve had a successful meet and greet, I would ask to bring along my friendly 2-year-old rat terrier. He's well-socialized and loves making new friends. If your dog is staying at my home, they’ll be part of a fun, friendly environment! I live with my roommate who has a sweet 4-year-old poodle mix, and both of our dogs are playful, well-behaved, and love having company. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for playtime, fresh air, and zoomies.
