Pet Sitting in Manitou Beach

“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!”

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

“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!!)”

“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 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.

About: I grew up in a 6 cat household at one point, so I have the most experience working with cats, however I've cared for many family members dogs while they are away, such as my sister's very active 5 year old, blue heeler mix (Sora) that she has had since 2021. I am comfortable caring for, feeding, playing, and walking small to medium dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible and open at the moment as I am studying to take a board certified exam and applying to future positions within my field. I can assist in early mornings, midday or in the evenings. Unfortunately since I have two cats at home, I am unable to board other animals at our location. I am flexible and adaptive to caring for your pets in your home for drop in visits, depending on their discussed needs.

“Lauren has taken care of our pups a few times now. This includes our 3 month old puppy. She is timely, trustworthy and thorough We will continue to use her!”

“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.”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was at least 15 and they have been dogs of many different breeds. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay with their pets. Pet care fits into my daily schedule by allowing the given time the family needs for me open and to be able to work with that schedule if given one. For the pets in my home, I put him on a leash to go outside, he normally barks but for my grandparents, I will always make the dog go outside when I feel like they need to go or every so hours. Now for client's homes, I will do whatever they normally do for their pets.

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.

“Great Job!”
