“Justin does great with my dog Rayla! Takes her on a walk every time I have required his assistance with my work schedule. Rayla is just as happy and i come home to a happy and a little tuckered out from her adventures. Couldn't ask for a better more convenient service from Justin! Highly recommend him if you need someone to help out with your pup!”

“Haley is fantastic! Haley made us feel so comfortable and confident about the care our pets would receive with her! Our cats immediately responded to her friendly voice! Haley listened to all of our thoughts and answered our questions! She took the cutest pictures of our cats!! We will define request Haley again for our next trip. We highly recommend Haley for your pet care needs!”

“Denni was lovely and able to win over both my friendly boy and my grumpy girl! Both cats were happy to see me, but seem to have been well cared for while I was away!”

About: Hey fur-baby parents! My name is Anel, and I am a a recent graduate from Michigan State University. During 2020, I worked part time at a doggy daycare and pet boarding facility called Brook-Falls. I worked with pups as small as 2 month old King Charles Spaniels, to 120lb Great Danes (aka: lap dogs). I am very enthusiastic about my love for animals’ wellbeing, and have completed over 16 hours of animal behavior videos and training, in order to learn what it takes to be a great animal caregiver. After leaving Brook-Falls, I started my own side business called Nel’s Bark Park Haul. When I’m at home for breaks in Wisconsin, I carpool dogs in my community to a dog park located near my home. Through my Bark Park Haul, I have grown clientele and expanded to drop-ins, dog walking, puppy training, and house sitting. While I am at school, away from my park group and other furry friends, I’d love to get to know some new furry folks of the Lansing area! I have experience working with all sized dogs and cats. I can’t wait to meet your babies! :) I am very flexible and eager to be where you need me to go for your pets. We can work together to suit your needs. 😊 You lay down the rules of your house, and I’ll make sure your four-legged family members are comfortable and safe! I’ll keep the floors clean, trash lids closed, and a smile on your pet’s face.
“Tennille is responsive and has been an excellent caretaker with our pups and kitties. We will continue to request Tennille when we need the help making sure our pets needs are met.”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

“Shelby did a great job of taking care of our three cats. They bonded quickly and successfully made it through two weeks of us being out of town. Shelby communicated well and did an excellent job of capturing cute moments in the daily check-in. Would absolutely hire again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs in some aspect my entire life. From walking, to house sitting, to bathing, if any friend or family member needed their doggo taken care of, I was the girl for the job! I am very good with all kinds of dogs at any stage of their life, as I have been dog sitting for various clients for the last 4-years, both on and off Rover. I’m currently a Ph.D student at MSU, so I’m super flexible when it comes to working around clients schedules. I have in person classes on Wednesday and Thursday, but other than that, I am happy to spend my free time with pups! I always make sure to follow the parent of the fur baby I’m walking or house sitting to ensure that the experience for both the parent and the pup is a pleasing one.

“Louise and I loved Makenzie. Prompt with each visit. Detailed messages including photos. Louise was clearly happy and felt safe with Makenzie. Given Louise’s timidness with new people, is a compliment to Mackenzie.”

“Hailey is always wonderful! My cats love her, she sends great pictures, and she is super attentive to their needs. I 100% recommend her for any of your petsitting needs!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.
“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a dog. I currently have a 8-year-old Sheltie and 2 year old cat of my own whom I love very much. Friends and family have relied on me for pet care such as walks, baths, and weekend dog sitting for many years. I am a teacher with summers off. My schedule allows me lots of free time to care for your furry family members! During the school year I can provide care after 3pm. I would like clear instructions as to how to best serve you and your furry friend! I currently live in an apartment, but have a yard around my building. Being downtown gives me access to many different parks and natural spaces.
“This is the 3rd time Sarah has helped me with my puppy and she's been great every time. Even on short notice, she was ready and willing to step up. Would highly recommend.”
