About: I've had many dogs growing up. I watch my brother's dog's when they go on vacation and it's always fun to have a dog around. I'm a small business owner so I make my own schedule. I live in Midland and work in Bay City so I can do anywhere in-between the two. Doing this on the side for fun because I love dogs and to stay active during the winter. Your dog will get a lot of exercise and will never be left alone. Will update you with pictures of the fun me and your pet are having.

“McKenzie watched my dog poppy a bunch of times when I was out of town and she did great! She’s a good listener and will do anything to go above and beyond! She always took her on walks and sometimes to the dog park. I know she will do a great job with any dog because of how much care and love she has for her own dog and for other furry friends!”

9. Sarah H.
About: Hello! With over 15 years of dedicated experience in dog sitting and pet care, I am passionate about ensuring that every dog I look after feels safe, happy, and loved. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. I pride myself on creating a nurturing environment tailored to each dog's unique personality, whether they require gentle coaxing during playtime or a calm, quiet space to relax. I’m always happy to take walks or explore local parks for some extra adventure. I prioritize exercise, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of belly rubs! I’m also well-versed in administering medications and managing specific dietary needs, ensuring your pup's health and happiness. (As my own dogs take medications and have dietary restrictions). Your dog will receive personalized attention, and I’m committed to maintaining their routine as closely as possible to ease any separation anxiety. I truly believe that every dog deserves to feel like a member of the family! I am available in the evenings throughout the week and most weekends. I work in Midland so I am also available to check on your dogs during my hour lunch break. I am also available to take your dog for a walk or to a nearby park. We live on almost an acre of land down a very quiet road. We use an electric fencing system for our own. Your dog will never be left alone.

About: I have experience as a kennel worker and as an animal shelter aide. I have grew up with dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time researching dog nutrition and I’m very experienced in dog behavior. I have 3 dogs and 3 children. Me and my family would love to care for your pups! We love going to the dog park and going for walks. I have plenty of time to spend with dogs! I’m a stay at home mom. Me and my dogs love playing fetch and going to the dog park I have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been highly socialized since they were 8 and 12 weeks old. They’re very friendly and love to play with other dogs.


13. Kayti C.
About: I have done dog sitting for several people for more than 10 years. I am Fear Free Certified and currently in the process of receiving my certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). I’ve worked at a boarding and daycare facility, as well as a vet clinic as an assistant for 3 years. I have worked at an animal shelter, caring for animals, for the last 2 years. I have done multiple private dog training sessions for anything from puppies to behavioral modification. Highly knowledgeable in canine enrichment and care. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and cats and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds. I am experienced in administering medications of all varieties. I have cared for animals recovering from surgery and animals who need extra levels of care. If you want someone who you can fully trust to care for your pet who requires extra medical attention, I’m one of the best options in our area! I also have done dog bathing and grooming. I currently work part-time. I have very flexible availability. When home, I spend lots of time managing playtimes between boarders at my home, or snuggling with older pups who want more attention. I am always happy to accommodate to my client’s pets however they feel is important to the pet! My yard is a little under a half an acre, fenced in with a vinyl privacy fence. My house is 1500 sq ft which dogs get a free roam of! When it is warm out I have a pool for the dogs, splash pad, outdoor toys, and more! I have 3 dogs, a Border Collie and a Husky. I also recently have added on a foster fail, a black lab mix. All of my pups love meeting new friends! I have several years managing dog play groups and dog daycare, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog body language. My house is well equipped for separating dogs as well if needed. I have what I call the “doggy play room” set up downstairs in my house which has been slowly expanding. As of right now I have foam flooring for padded protection, tons of toys and enrichment options, and large pen-style set ups for kenneling as needed if dogs are too stressed or just need time to rest and nap. When caring for pet’s in people’s homes, I am courteous and compassionate. I follow instructions well and listen to how owners feel their pet would most appreciate my care. I follow feeding schedules exactly and have done many different medications of pets including insulin, liquid medications, capsule pills, and tablets. With several years of experience in veterinary assisting and medical boarding, I am completely comfortable caring for pets with more extensive medical needs!


14. Brenna & Sawyer B.
“Brenna is wonderful! She is the only person we let watch our boston terrier for years. She has experience with dogs and cats, but she is very good at following instructions and could probably watch any animal she was asked with instructions. In all my years of seeing her with animals I have never heard her yell or intimidate. She's our #1!”


15. Claire H.
“Claire is a wonderful animal caregiver! In addition to their own array of animals, they have cared for my cat Patrick since he was a kitten, and he is absolutely obsessed with them, if that tells you anything about their demeanor. They have also loved my family's senior puppies with such gentle care, as well as my friend's young deaf dog, who is crazy and difficult to control, if you don't know how to connect with him. They care so much, not getting upset at something like an accident on the floor, or an angry yip because you touched a sensitive spot, they still speak calmly and interact with empathy, like you would caring for any other member of the family! No special need or personality quirk is too big. They just want the best for your furry family member, and it shows! Let them love on your pets for you, when you can't be there!”


16. Megan B.

“Megan’s the dog whisperer you want to be with your fluffy friend! Very professional, feel very comfortable with her and our pup.”


17. Jessica B.
“Jess's dedication to animals is one of a kind. She is compassionate and goes above and beyond. I met her while she was trying to capture a shepherd who went feral being on his own so long. She never gave up on helping this dog. Morning, noon and night, she gave it her all. Almost a month later she trapped him. She took this now mean dog, visited him daily at the shelter where he had to wait his stray hold period. Determined to win his heart and she did!!! No one claimed this boy so he claimed her. She adopted him and welcomed him home. To me, amazing!!! We need more people like her in the world, especially our younger generation who go all out at no expense for the well being of an animal. I would trust this lady with my furbabies and I do not trust many. You will not be disappointed.”


18. Maria B.

“Maria did a wonderful job walking my dog. She has a very friendly personality, responsible and followed directions. I would have Maria care for my pup again.”


19. Michelle M.
“Michelle is the most loving, caring, attentive, person to both people and animals! I trust her with my 3 year old golden retriever and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet caregiver. She feeds, walks, bathes, plays, and loves my dog as if he were her own! Thank you Michelle for all you do for us!”
