Cat Sitting in Ludington

“Kelsey did an awesome job taking care of our kitty during our vacation! She was also super responsive and communicative throughout the whole booking and visiting process. We are excited to work with her again when we head back out of town in a few days!”

“Taylor was great! She took good care of my cat Skippy. Received cute pictures daily. She even brought in packages that had been delivered to my house while I was gone. I definitely recommend and will be a repeat customer.”

About: What Sets Me Apart- Pet care is my profession, not a casual hobby. Backed by over a decade of industry experience, independent professional liability insurance, and Advanced Pet First Aid/CPR training, I offer a level of safety and expertise that standard sitters cannot match. Professional Grooming & Boarding Background: With professional hands-on experience working in grooming salons and boarding facilities, you can have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I excel at reading subtle canine body language, handling all breeds and sizes safely, and monitoring your dog's physical and emotional health. First Responder Background: As a former paramedic and firefighter, I bring a high level of situational awareness, hazard recognition, and emergency readiness to my pet care. I have a college-level education in anatomy, physiology, and medication administration. Senior & Special Needs Care: Experienced in handling low mobility pets, arthritis management, complex medical schedules, and the predictable routines that aging pets require. Puppy & Young Pet Support: I provide the patient and consistent care needed to keep your housebreaking, crate training, and basic leash manners right on track. Whether boarding or on a walk, your pet receives premium, attentive care backed by real world emergency response and professional industry experience. Since providing pet related services is my full-time profession, my schedule is built around the dedicated care of my clients and their pets. I keep a detailed calendar, but I also understand that flexibility is a necessity. My clients' needs can shift rapidly, and my routine is designed to adapt to those situations efficiently. Strict Timing for Core Needs: Even with a changing daily route, specific feeding times, medication windows, and midday walks remain locked into my itinerary and are prioritized to happen on time. No Excessive Absences: Because my schedule brings me back and forth throughout the day, pets are never left alone for excessive intervals. Sitting and boarding guests are typically left for no more than 3 to 4 hours at a time. When you book with me, you get the best of both worlds: I am an organized and reliable professional who can pivot instantly to meet your changing needs. In My Home (Boarding) Location & Yard: Near downtown Ludington and Cartier Park. My home is located on a standard sized city lot and features a secure 4 foot fence. Controlled Environment: My home is a cozy and quiet, adult only bungalow (only myself and one other adult female live in the home). Indoor Air Quality: Strictly no smoking, candle burning, or oil diffusers are permitted inside the home. Health & Safety: All guest dogs must be fully vaccinated and current on flea/tick prevention. Advanced Yard Sanitation: Outdoor areas are sanitized using the professional-grade Wysiwash system to eliminate pathogens like Parvo, Giardia, and hookworm. Built In Companion: I have one friendly, 50lb neutered male dog living in the home. He is fully vaccinated, socialized, and non-aggressive. Home Comforts: Dogs are welcome on the furniture, but only if allowed by your specific house rules. In Your Home (Walking & Sitting) Safety & Security: I actively scan for household and environmental hazards while ensuring all entryways, doors, and gates are locked. Focused Walks: I provide structured, fully engaged walks to prevent hazardous encounters. I always wear a high-visibility safety vest, carry a specialized pet first aid kit, and ensure all waste is professionally recovered and disposed of. Health Inspections: Leveraging my grooming background, I regularly check paws, coat, and body language to catch any early signs of stress or discomfort. Property Respect: Your home is treated with respect and left exactly as you left it (if not better). In any setting, you receive clear communication and the peace of mind that comes with a fully insured, emergency trained professional.

“Sidnie took care of my elderly disabled Silky Terrier who wears a diaper and needs to be changed. She changed her diaper, fed her, and spent time with her. I felt very relieved to have such a responsible young lady caring for our precious girl. I would hire Sidnie again and highly recommend her!”

About: Spent last two years of high school volunteering at a local farm. Love to spend time with any animal. Find myself very understanding with any animal. I have 3 dogs at home, plus one bunny and two parrots. My family shares all of the animal chores daily and weekly. From simple walks to cleaning up after them. I will do anything for the animal, from going on walks to cleaning up after them or just being a friend for them to visit with when their owners are away.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. Currently have a tripod Doberman which requires special attention to her mobility issues. I have previously cared for my own blind dog and set up our house and yard for his issues as well. End of life care is never easy for a pet owner, but I navigated that as well. I currently have my settings to only weekend care, but would discuss expanding care foe during the week to fit my customers needs if agreed upon request fits into my work schedule. My house set up is catered to my specific pets. Going into your home, I would follow your specific instructions on care and safety for your pets.

“Upon first meeting Anna, I instantly felt comfortable leaving George & Rudy in Anna's care while we were away. She dropped in as scheduled and provided detailed feedback, as well as photos. We were pleased to know our dogs were being cared for by someone we trusted.”

“Sheila, Watched our dogs with a drop in visit she did a great job as they are older and require medication and frequent trips outside. She sent updates and pictures that were greatly appreciated and kept us informed of their well being while we were away. We will ask for Sheila again and recommend her to others.”
