House Sitting in Lake Leelanau

“James was very comfortable with our dog and our dog was comfortable with him. He gave him lots of attention and exercise. James is also very nice, flexible and accommodating especially since we had a last minute request. I very much appreciated his help!”

“Kris was a wonderful pet sitter for our two goofy dogs. He sent pictures and communicated well. He left the house neat and tidy and even washed the sheets before he left. Our dogs seemed perfectly happy and content when we returned, as if we had just ran an errand, and not left home for days, which tells me that they were very well taken care of and comfortable with Kris. I would not hesitate to recommend Kris for any pet sitting needs!”

“Very communicative, flexible and available on short notice. Very dog-centric and took great care of our Mirah!”

Jody L.

“Michelle spoiled our pups and I felt very reassured that she wouldn’t leave them alone for hours on end! It’s tough to find good, reliable sitters like Michelle!”

“Steph was an exceptional dog and house sitter! She took my dog Blue for several walks/day, provided daily updates/pictures and left my house very clean. I was able to relax during my time away knowing my dog and house were in good hands. I would definitely ask her to care for Blue again!”

“Lee is great all the way around....with the pets, promptness, communication, and a real pet lover!”

“Katherine was a fabulous dog and house sitter! She arrived on time, she made sure to understand my puppy's routine and needs, and she sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My house was clean and my puppy loved her! I was able to completely relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew Katherine was taking care of Gigi. I will definitely hire again!”

Kelley H.

“Anna was the perfect pet sitter! Kind, conscientious and attentive to my pup! I felt so relaxed knowing she was taking great care of everything. I will happily book Anna again!”

“Bernice was wonderful with our dogs. We have an older small dog and a large 10-month-old puppy, and she was great with both of them. Excellent communicator and experienced dog person. We will absolutely use her again.”

About: Hello! I am mother to one huge Great Pyrenees dog, 2 cats (one cuddly, one cranky) and one human. I have taken care of animals my whole life starting with my own dogs as a child. Later I became a professional pet/home sitter as a side job. Now I take care of my own and my friends pets. I have experience with all sizes and ages including the elderly and ailing. My last three dogs (Jack Russell, medium sized mix, Great Pyrenees) were rescues and I understand the intricacies involved with pets who come from bad situations. I love love cats as well and have taken care of my own for the past ten years. I am currently working full time in education so my summer availability is wide open. During the school year weekends are available for walks and 1or 2 night stays in your home. Pets love their routines! In my house we stick to a pretty standard schedule of two long walks a day with a lot of potty breaks in between. In your home we'll stick to your schedule so your pet can be the most comfortable without its parents. I love long dog walks and play and snuggles too. Cats make their own rules (lol)! Cat snuggles are always welcome and my cats love short play sessions. Maybe yours do too?

About: I grew up with several large and small dogs in my household, and I also began watching dogs about 8 years ago. I began overnight sitting around 4 years ago as well. I have also been cat sitting for about 3 years, and have a cat of my own! I am comfortable administering prescriptions to all pets, as well as regular care (potty breaks, clean ups, brushing, interaction, litter boxes, walking, etc). I have worked with pets of all size variations, and am happy to work with yours! I am a full-time bedside RN on night shift, so I work 3 nights a week for 12-hour shifts. My schedule changes weekly, but I would never accept a job that I am not available for. I have great flexibility due to only working 3 nights a week, as I often switch back to days after a stretch, or can stay on nights if preferred. I am happy to watch your pet overnight at your home. I am comfortable with most services, including but not limited to: walking, going outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering prescription medications, brushing pets, feeding pets, and more. If something is needed for your pet that is not listed here, I am willing to talk about it and see if it is in my scope!

“Elizabeth was a great fit for us when we needed someone to watch our older dogs. Kenneling our dogs for this particular trip (Family Memorial) would have been worrisome as our older dog is almost 15. Elizabeth was great to work with and the ease of use of the platform was helpful during a stressful time away. We loved seeing our fur family especially when our hearts were tender. I highly recommend connecting with Elizabeth should you need a fur friend sitter overnight.”

About: I have had about 16 years of experience with pets. I absolutely love animals! I feel an incredible connection with “fur babies.” I feel that animals have an innate sense of what humans feel and understand. I will care for your “fur baby” as if he or she were my own. I will also, communicate and send messages, pictures, videos and to inform you of how your “fur baby” is doing. I do work a full-time job during the week. However, I am available full-time on weekends. I can begin to watch your “baby” at 5:pm or 6:30 pm during the week. During the week I can drop in twice a day. I am also able to watch your pet at night during the week. I can take care of your “fur baby” in their own home, which helps with security and comfort. The priority of your pet is my main focus.

“Amanda was wonderful with our senior dog over the weekend. She kept him active at his appropriate level (short walks) and even included some special details to make her and his (the dog's) stay extra special, above and beyond what we expected. We would love to book Amanda again if we need overnight care for our dog in the future.”

“Larissa did a great job- our doggy was comfortable with her from the get go… she sent regular updates and pictures… she took great care of the house while we were gone and the place was spotless when we returned. Definitely recommend her!!”

Jonathan H.

“You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗”

“Sara was great with our two little dogs! They were calm and happy when we returned from a 4 day trip. Sara was very good at keeping in touch so that we could enjoy our trip and not worry about the dogs. The house was in great shape when we got home. Sara is a terrific dog/house-sitter!”

Linda K.

“Christina helped us out last minute, made time to come meet our dog and even offered to cover for us if our plans had us home later. Our senior dog was well cared for and happy!”

About: I love dogs! have been dog mama to 3 labs and a little 6 pound rescue guy - currently can’t have my own so would love to fill my heart with your furry pal when you’re away. I’m very active so enjoy walking / hiking / running with a dog. I work very part time - remote- so my schedule is super flexible. Can walk your dog, visit your dog, stay at your home to watch your dog. At this time, I do not have any pets. I would walk / run your dog on leash. Love to take on hikes at the park if they are other dog friendly.

About: Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own personal national park? Now your furry friends can enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and their own private park like setting with over 80 acres of leashed exploration and even a few fenced in acres for off leash play. I am a retired professional with a desire to cater to animals who are accustomed to getting individual attention year round and expect their custom treatment, cuddles, and meals to be routinely available even when the rest of their service humans are not. I have a have a senior golden retriever who is slowing down at 12.5 and we are simply more active than he currently requires. I enjoy getting to spend all day with animals and am opening up our special place to our furry local friends. Rest assured that I will care for your animal family beyond how anyone would care for a human family member. I also understand that the pet's safety and security are paramount to the quality of the experience for both the pet and their family. Also, belly rubs on demand.
