Pet Sitting in Manitou Beach

“Allison is great with our boys! Very dependable and always shares great photos!”

Megan D.

“Audrey is super sweet and gentle with our girl! She is responsive, prompt and let us know how each visit went with photos and a summary. We will definitely use Audrey as a sitter again!”

“Christine was very kind and responsive and sent pictures during her drop-in. She cleaned up a little mess one of our babies made and even left some homemade dog treats. Great first experience with Rover, thank you!”

“Libby was a God send. We are so thankful for finding her on Rover. We have been worried for a long time about finding the right sitter for our Archie dog and Libby is the perfect person. I can’t wait to use her again! We were lucky enough to have another sitter turn us down and then we found Libby. Our Meet and Greet was as smooth as possible. When my husband made a mistake on the date and Libby showed up when she was not needed, she graciously came back the next day at the correct time. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our dog, who happens to require a little extra attention. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Libby!”

“Faith took fantastic care of our baby, Saoirse!! We highly recommend Faith and will definitely be using her again in the future. Our kitty Saoirse really warmed up to Faith and was healthy and happy after we returned from a week long trip (albeit angry at me, her "Mama" , for leaving her!!)”

About: I have had pets my whole life. My first cat grew up with me. My parents got him while I was in Preschool. I have many fond memories of him, and used to help with his care whenever I could. I have house/dog sat for neighbors while I was growing up. I have experience raising a Pitbull, he was an awesome brindle coated sweetheart. He was my roommate's dog but I loved him as I would my own. I also raised a Shiba Inu, she was amazing. So beautiful, and loyal. She was my best friend for 14 wonderful years. Anyone who knows that breed knows that they can be especially challenging, but we got along great. I volunteer at Cascades Humane Society in Jackson. I love going there in my free time to walk dogs, cuddle or play with cats or just try to help with anything I can. Currently my close family (parents and siblings) have six dogs and six cats combined between all of us. I am also the Dogfather to some of them, and they would come to me if anything happened. Right now I have a 13 year old rescue cat named Daisy. She gets special food from the vet, and regular pills. She also gets lots of love and lap time. I also have a Norwegian Buhund puppy. He is super friendly and outgoing. I have walked dogs of all sizes and personalities. From Huskys that want to go, go, go! to lazy little dogs just want to sniff and stroll. With our own fur baby. We have a regimented feeding schedule with our cat. Breaking up her can of food into many smaller meals throughout the day to help her with her conditions. Our dog gets multiple daily walks and lots of attention as he is still just a pup and prone to “tasting” things he shouldn’t. We’re doing lots of redirection. I spent years as a maintenance man for a property management company. I also spent years as an appliance repair man. Respecting people, their homes, and furry friends is nothing new to me. I have been trying to absorb as much information about animal behavior as possible and do my best to communicate with animals in a way they understand. Giving your dog a friendly greeting is very different from how most people greet them. Some need some time and an indirect approach. Walking straight toward a dog head on is instinctually considered quite rude in canine interactions. Cats also have their own language and way of doing things. I try hard to always respect that.

“Heidi was great with Chewie our Great Dane! She was quick to respond to all of our needs, kept us up to date on all Chewies activities and gave us the peace of mind from being away from our baby! Would definitely recommend her for doggy care.”

“Renae was wonderful with both of my cats, but mostly with me. My cats are my babies, and I needed someone very last minute to help with care during a business trip and she stepped in and gave me the reassurance I needed that they'd be taken care of with the love that I give them. They were! It's not just about the animals — she handled me very well. LOL.”

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

About: I have always cared for our family’s pets and have have cared for neighbors and friends pets for years. I am a complete animal lover and want them to be well cared for while you’re away from home. I work for a school so I am free during all school breaks. During the school year I can do early in the morning, in the evenings, and on the weekends. Happy to do drop ins or walks! I will work to build a comfortable connection with your pet, make sure they have their needs met, and make sure they have time to connect and play.

“Anne B was amazing with our dog and we appreciated the trip and walk reporting. Our dog was very comfortable with Anne. Would highly recommend booking Anne B if you have need of a dependable pet caretaker.”

About: I've always had a dog since I was little and recently started to volunteer at the lenawee humane society. I've watched over my family's and friends pets while in vacation or out of town as well. I work at a library about 3 days a week and would like to find time for other part time jobs. I kove animals and think that this would be a good time filler for me. I live in the country and have a big yard for dogs to rumn around and play.my yard isn't fenced in but I do have a long lead for them if they would like to stay out for longer. But I do have a crate if your dog is crate trained. I have lots of toys and dog food if needed.

“Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.”

“Aveline has been very helpful! She is an excellent communicator, asked good questions and took cute pictures of our pets while we were away. She really cares and did an excellent job. We highly recommend Aveline!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different animals from many different families. I’ve never had anyone disappointed with my care. I have experience in the basic dogs and cats, but also with small mammals, reptiles, and aquatic animals. I work with each animals individual needs. All while I continue to learn more about all animals as I continue my education at Michigan State University for Zoology. I currently am free all day, everyday. The start of fall 2024 I will be going back to school and will be available in between classes (schedule will vary) and any time after classes. In your home, the animal will already feel safe. It’s their home too and I’m just a guest. So I will work with any of their needs. So it just feels like a normal day for them.
