“Booked dog walks with Dana last minute so I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet. She did great with our little dog! Sent some really cute photos and detailed notes about the walks.”

“Alexandria is great with our two very different dogs! Herbie is older and loud and Lola is young and energetic but quiet. Even in the current deep freeze she got them out for me (despite Herbie’s protests)! Thank you 😊”

About: I have grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I love animals with all my heart. I have so much experience with taking care of dogs and cats while i also have some of my own! I am currently working two days out of the week so i have PLENTY of time to spend with your pets! I am always looking forward to meeting new friends. At my home i have fenced in yard for my two pups to run around. And i have past experience with putting dogs in kennels when needed.

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my house my entire life- My household has always had dogs and cats (currently three dogs, two cats) and we’ve opened our house to foster multiple animals throughout my childhood. I’ve worked in doggie daycare and grooming settings, and have extensive experience handling dogs and cats of different personalities and sizes. I’m a college student home for the summer ready and willing to help during the week, or those wanting to make sure their pets are in good hands during a weekend getaway. I have experienced working in many different pet care settings and understand every owner has a different approach to making sure their furry friend is comfortable and safe. Whether it be walking only on leash, separating meals, or any other instruction, I am ready to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable with your animal!

About: I have had pets my whole life and began caring for and training at a young age. I have experience house, dog, and cat sitting and truly enjoy spending time with any animals. I am an online grad student and enjoy sitting part-time. I am available most mornings, evenings, and overnights to walk, feed, and hang out with your fur babies. I don’t have my puppy with me so I like to hang out with any pets and treat them like my own any chance I get. I always make sure to follow any special instructions so you can have stress-free time away and come back to happy kiddos.

“Michelle was great with Ranger! Prompt with her arrival, and spent the full time with him. He was able to get some energy out and not be alone all day which is exactly what he needed! We will continue booking with Michelle 😁”

About: I’ve had animals all my life and since i don’t currently have them at the moment I LOVE spending time with other peoples pets! I have watched multiple family and friends pets when they go on vacation and really enjoy the company of animals for a few days! I work with our therapy dog that we have at work, and have also volunteered at the humane society! I have somewhat of a hybrid schedule depending on the week, so depending on what your pet is use to we can try work around it. Based on the schedule you provide I will try my best to follow it as closely as possible. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, but grew up with animals and will treat yours like my own!! It's all what is best for you and your fur baby! Just let me know. I realize everyone has a different schedule and will do my best to accommodate!

Feel free to contact me if you’re in need of someone to walk your dog, feed them, change litter box, etc. I am available starting late August. I am available starting the end of August. I have a lot of free time so I can stop by at any time to help you out. I don’t start working until late November. I have two friendly small dogs.

About: Looking for someone to provide the best day for your best friend while you’re away? You’ve found the right person. As a student at Animal Behavior College and a dog mom to 2 labradors, Raven and Grizzly, I have experience with positive reinforcement dog training. I’d love to work on training while walking or staying with your dog, such as loose leash walking or whatever your goals are! Or, if your pup prefers a lazy day of snuggling, that’s cool, too. We’ll design your dog’s perfect day together upon booking. Given I live in a rental with strict policies, I don’t offer dog daycare or boarding in my home but I offer these services in your home, where your pup is most comfortable! I’m a dog training student and part time fitness coach with a very flexible schedule. Contact me to figure out what works best for you! I will follow your rules for pet sitting in your home, and I will keep you updated with lots of pics and videos throughout the day. If you book me for walks, I will work on loose leash walking with your dog - so it’s part training and part exercise!

About: I've owned dogs & cats my whole life & house sat most of the neighborhood growing up. I still help my neighbors with work breaks or overnight care.

Very flexible schedule just want more time with animals I am very respectful of all things. Your pet will be treated as if it was my own. And mine want for nothing!

About: I love all animals! My family always had cats while I was growing up, so I am very comfortable taking care of them. My first dog was a lovely chocolate Lab; my current dog is a spirited English Pointer named Mellow. Whenever friends and family need someone to care for their pets when they travel, I am the person they ask for help. Any animal under my care is treated with the same love and attention as my own pets. I am very reliable as well. I have been teaching for 20 years at the same school district. I bring the same patience I show my students to any pet situation. I love to take walks or hikes with dogs, so your pup will not miss out on daily exercise. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a child-free teacher, I am very available during the summer months to meet your vacation and travel pet needs. I am available for the daily or weekly care that your pets needs while you are away. I follow a strict leash policy with my own dog, and I follow this protocol with any dog under my care. A leashed dog is a safe dog!

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds! I share my home with my beloved golden retriever, Captain, and we walk the beautiful Lakeland Trail—just a block from my house—every day for at least 3 miles. Captain is super friendly and loves making new puppy and kitty friends, especially in our large, privacy-fenced backyard where there’s plenty of space to play and relax. I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid and know how to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your furry family member will be safe, happy, and treated like one of my own! I am a part time Michigan Real Estate agent, I work out of my home; so I have plenty of time to walk & care for your beloved pet! If you are looking for a home with a bigger back yard for your pup; I can help you with that as well:) I have a full privacy fence where my beloved pup Captain loves to play with friends, take walks on the trail, play with toys, play in the pup pool, and take afternoon naps on the couch! We can accommodate crate naps/stays as well if needed.

About: My husband & I grew up having both dogs & cats. Neither of us have professional experience. However, we have watched family members or neighbors pets on top of taking care of our own (2 y.o. Beagle & x2 7 y.o. cats) We both value talking to animals & providing them with whatever environment they prefer, be it more playtime, a shady quiet napping spot, or sun bathing. As most know cats can’t necessarily be trained but nevertheless ours are well behaved. They do have their claws but they have never scratched or bitten (unless playfully) anyone. Our beagle is also well behaved, albeit goofy, & trained with Whole Hearted peanut butter treats. We do still currently have a cage but it is very rare we use it, mostly from when she was a younger puppy. Our animals do fine around others. The cats have an escape to the basement with a gate so if they are crabby will go there. Our dog will sometimes make the classic beagle howl at first but is never a threat. I am home most of the time. We have a child under the age of 1 but she is generally excited by all dogs & cats. My schedule is flexible. If there is someone who would like to make long term arrangements that would be okay to discuss. We live in a neighborhood off a dirt road with a decent sized back yard. There is no fence. We put our dog on a chord if she is unattended but usually will also be outside. There are trails going all around the neighborhood that are perfect for dog walks. We have a farm behind our house that has 2 horses gated in. They are friendly & our dog will get excited if anything. There are multiple households in our neighborhood with dogs. Inside the house, dogs will have lots of choices when it comes to resting spots; sunny or more dark quiet spaces.
