Pet Boarding in Lansing

About: Hi! I am a huge dog lover and I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 5 year old mini golden doodle who’s very friendly. I work from home a few days a week so I’m flexible! I enjoy dog walking as it gives me a nice break from work and gives me an opportunity to meet new pups! I love all pets and enjoy giving endless amounts of affection and attention to them! I will treat them all as if they are my own. I have a friendly mini golden doodle. We go on frequent walks and play a lot of fetch. I will tend to all of your dogs needs.

“Kyle was great. Homer is a lot of work as a little guy and he really took great care of him. Kept us informed with pictures it was really good.”

“Monica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!”

“We had another great experience with our dog spending a long weekend with this family! It is clear how much love they put into caring for all dogs and ensuring we felt comfortable with the setup too. Our dog had a fantastic time here, her own little vacation!”

Sarah G.

“My pup had the absolute best time staying with Mikia! I could tell he missed her when I took him home. Mikia provided a ton of photo updates of my dog just having a blast, and as a bonus the photos are great and ones that I'll keep forever. HIGHLY recommend, super cozy family environment with an outdoor space and a super friendly dog of their own. Will definitely book again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed. I work part-time over the winter and will spend most days indoors studying for LSAT. I go for walks on breaks and usually give attention to my pets and others between breaks or as needed! My house has spare rooms where I can house pets if they are not comfortable with my cats! My cats can remain on third floor if needed with free roam acccess around house for cats and for dogs it varies on a case by case basis.

“Very responsive and treated our girl so well. Judith sent us so many pics of her stay and I could tell our girl was in good hands.”

“My beagle, Chase, had a wonderful time at Rylie's house over the holidays. He went on plenty of walks and we received updates and pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely bring Chase back next time we need to board him!”

“Jen was fantastic for our high energy dog! She treated her like one of her own pets, sent pictures and videos regularly, and responded promptly. She will certainly be Daisy’s mommy away from mommy whenever we need ❤️”

About: I happily work with dogs of all sizes and personalities! Dogs with lots of energy, low energy, separation anxiety, or even a bite history are all welcome to work with me, I just have to do housesitting for special cases. I attained purple level (highest level) dog walker at the Tompkins County SPCA. I am trained in dog handling, dog training, and I am very thorough. I have been volunteering at the shelter since January 2019, and I have 10 years of cat care experience. During my dog sitting, I have been able to train dogs different commands including but not limited to heel, sit, down, turn, paw, and roll over. Additionally, I am able to help train your dog to behave on and off leash. If your dog tends to pull at your leash during walks, I can certainly help with that. I can train your dog with aims toward getting them to behave well off-leash and to come to you when called for. I am currently located in Ithaca, NY. I finished my PhD and postdoc at Cornell with focuses in bioinorganic chemistry and bioinformatics. I now work in town as a research engineer at a company that is dog friendly! Please let me know if your pup would benefit from office time. :) I have my own super high energy dog, and we get lots of physical and mental exercise. We go on walks, runs, and lots of play dates. Pets are slowly introduced and treated whenever something positive happens. I do an in-depth discussion with my clients and always do behavioral tests. These tests allow me to see how to best provide support for each pet.

“Georgia was wonderful with my dog, Lu. She treated Lu to playtime at the dog park, hikes in the woods, and even a swim in a local gorge. Georgia was incredible with her communication while I was traveling. In one of the pictures she shared with me, Lu looks so full of joy. 🥰 Not only did I feel comfortable with Lu’s care, I felt secure knowing that Lu was having a vacation herself- receiving ample cuddles and engaging play. I would highly recommend Georgia for your boarding, sitting or walking needs. She is really top-tier. The best experience I’ve had with care for my pet, hands down.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 15 years now and am excited to support you and your furry folks with cuddles, play and love I work from home most of the week so I can host your furry folks or can go check in on them at your house. I can take regular breaks for walks and quality time We have a fenced in yard and our land is connected to a lot of nature trails for walks. We have an apartment attached to our house so your animal would get their own space and I would be with them there for company

About: Ever since I was 5 years old I was taught the responsibility and knowledge to handle dogs and animals of all varieties. I cared for parakeets, doves, fish, chinchilla, kids, many dogs both big and small, rescued and pure bred, and have had many canine friends over the years. I’ll treat your fur babies as lovingly as I treat mine! I don’t mind cleaning them, bathing, walking, feeding, exercising, or any other thing needed to their specifications. I will follow your instructions to the T. I have all the time to give them my full attention and love, and never less. I ensure you, that with me, you’re barking up the right tree! I am open any and all times, I’m looking for any jobs. I I’m not picky about my times and I’m more than happy to accommodate. I always do my very best to follow instructions as perfect as possible. I ask that you write me a note or send me a text telling me what you want me to do, so I can refer back to it.

“Shelby was great! Super accommodating and great with Thor!”

About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.

“Shihong took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a week. He sent photos and videos of her daily, and checked in with me about anything that seemed unusual with her. He was responsible and caring, and pampered our dog so she was very comfortable with him. I highly recommend Shihong and will definitely be asking him to watch or dog again in the future.”

“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”

About: Pet care found ME... I did not find it. After cuddling with random dogs I'd meet on the street my whole life, someone finally asked me "Why don't you take care of pets professionally?" And thus a career was born (which I've adored ever since). I owned my own pet care company for over 15 years while living in NYC and NJ. Now, I’m based in Ithaca, and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I am not working full time and have plenty of downtime. Thus, my schedule is super flexible and easily adjustable to your pet care needs! I treat all pets as if they were my own. I had a chow chow for many years, which was a member of our family and that is how I view ALL animals. They are part of our lives and our hearts and should be treated with just as much kindness and love as their human counterparts. Hospitality and pet care are my main sources of income. I work nights in hospitality, and my schedule is fairly flexible. I will always make every fur baby take care of my priority! I can take care of pets at your home or mine. I live in a three story/three bedroom townhouse, so there is plenty of room. The townhouse community sits on a big piece of open property. I absolutely LOVE playing with your pets--whether they are in my house or yours. I especially love giving them lots of love and affection!

About: I have always had pets in my life. I was born into a house with cats and dogs and have had two dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of the animals when my parents have been gone. We have had dogs old and young of all sizes and I love all animals big and small. I will love on animals and play with them, take care of them or just snuggle if they dont like to play. I will be with the animals as much as possible in between other jobs. I also have worked at petsmart in the pet hotel so I have a lot of knowledge and experience working with pets. I am currently working full time but I can let the dogs out before I go to work and then can go right after work as well. I go in at 8 am and get off at 330 pm I will take special care with each pet and be sure to follow the rules that are set by the pet parent. Because of working at petsmart I pay close attention to details and take special care of pets.

“Dylan was so great with my pup Pico. Pico had a blast, played lots of fetch and came back happy and healthy. Would definitely trust Dylan with Pico again in the future. Thank you so much Dylan!”
