Doggy Day Care Marcellus

“Julie and her husband, Joe, took good care of Obi. It was his first time staying with them. Julie sent me a picture and video of Obi having a good time. Their dog Barron was not home to play with, but I think they played with Obi and gave him lots of attention.”

About: I have cared for my German Shepherd for 10+ years now in addition to dog sitting through Rover and friends’ dogs for 7 years. My German Shepherd, Layla gets along great with all dogs and your dog is sure to have a great time with us as well as receiving top quality service. I currently work from home Monday through Friday and am usually around on weekends! I currently live in a house with a nice backyard for you pup to play in. Because of my work/life flexibility I am able to provide top level service so you never have to worry about your dog being left alone for a long period of time. In my home your dog will be free to roam around without having to be caged as well as the ability to relax on my bed, sofa, or my dog’s dog bed. I will always be around to make sure your dog is well taken care of and all their needs are met. Your dog will get plenty of outdoors time as well as enjoying comfortable air conditioning in the home. My flexible schedule allows me to provide constant care for your dog. Your dog will have someone close by at all times so there is no need to worry. I am responsive to all concerns and issues and will be available to reply whenever there is a concern. In addition you will receive pictures and updates throughout your pets stay on how they are doing.

“Stanley had a great time! We would recommend Katy as a sitter! She was responsive, accommodating and sent us photos of our boy throughout the day.”

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.

“Lindsay has been wonderful in this short amount of time. She gives me peace of mind that my dog is well cared for in my absence! Highly recommend Lindsay !”

About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

“Okay, I don’t know where to start to describe Josie. She is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for my husband’s description. It means, for me she is amazing and wonderful dog sitter also her family and sweet dog Luna are big help for our dog. Bear loves playing with Luna a lot. Bear feels great in his first week and it helps a lot for our everyday routine. We don’t have to take him for a walk after work because he is already wear out once we get home. I highly recommend Josie for a dog sitter. This week is Bear’s 2nd week with Josie . Thanks a lot Josie”

“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”

Autumn H.

“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”

About: I’m an experienced animal care professional with a degree in Animal Science and training in Pet First Aid. I provide knowledgeable, compassionate, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can also assist with basic obedience, leash training, and positive training techniques. I have a flexible schedule and offer a variety of pet care services, with daily, weekly, and monthly packages available. I’m currently enrolled in an extensive K-9 training program to further expand my skills and knowledge. Upon completion, I’ll be offering additional professional obedience training services. Whether your pet needs dependable daily care, exercise, companionship, or help with basic training, I’m here to provide attentive and professional care you can feel confident in. As I build my small, home-based pet care business, I have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day, making it easier to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I also offer weekend and holiday availability. I offer daily, weekly, and monthly service packages and am happy to work with pet owners to create a care routine that fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, attentive, and personalized care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced hands. I have two dogs and two outdoor cats of my own, and I maintain consistent routines for my animals, including feeding, rest and nap times, bathing, outdoor time, exercise, and daily care. When boarding animals in my home, their safety and comfort are my first priority. New boarding pets will initially be kept separate from my own indoor animals until I have had an opportunity to learn their temperament, behavior, and comfort level around other animals. This allows for a gradual and safe introduction rather than immediately placing unfamiliar animals together. I have a designated “dog room” in my home specifically for pet care. It is a tiled, easy-to-clean room equipped with appropriately sized crates and kennels to accommodate different breeds and animal sizes. This provides a secure, comfortable space where new or boarding pets can settle in while remaining safely separated when needed. As I learn each pet's personality and needs, I can adjust their routine and level of interaction accordingly. My goal is to provide a clean, safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every animal receives attentive, individualized care.

“Betty was very attentive to our little, old chi (17). He seemed super relaxed and content when I picked him up. Having a fenced yard was a real treat for him. We would definitely use her again. 👍 Betty, thanks for the pics and updates each day that he was in your care. 🙂”

“Madison was amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Bo in her care and he loved every minute of being there! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have extensive pet sitting and house sitting experience. Not only are our pets our companions; they’re our family. It’s important for me to earn the trust of my client - YOU - because you’re allowing me to spend time with your beloved pet(s)! That’s a win win for the both of us! I genuinely adore animals of all kinds and I take my responsibility as their caretaker or nurturer very seriously. -DOGGO EXPERIENCE: Many different breeds, shapes, sizes. Some with special needs. I’ve worked with clients, both known and unknown, as well as family and friends who all are more than willing to provide more in-depth references on me, if you so desire. Experience with long term care of large pit bull that needed training assistance in Arizona. I also housesat and petsat for a family with a large Weimaraner who had special needs (nervous problems especially) in Kalamazoo, Michigan that I had to be extra sensitive and mindful to. (Each of these families both kept me on for multiple years, depending on my location at the time.) CATS (very experienced and skilled with cats - my knowledge of them is above and beyond, as I have 2 of my own myself, both rescues.) (2) Rabbits - one was my roommates; the other belongs to a very close friend and her Husband. I am experienced feeding them and I have knowledge of their temperaments and needs. Reptile experience: 2 Snakes (I am not comfortable feeding them mice, however, sorry about that, but I am experienced with humidifying their environments and checking up on them - fearlessly!) Any other questions? Please just ask me! :) My Mom passed away last summer and I decided to move back home to Michigan and take a year off to tend to my Father, being that I’m an only child and he’s my only family left. I am grateful to be back home in Michigan, and I’d like to utilize my free time wisely - pet sitting / house sitting / spending time with animals brings me peace and joy! My career consisted of a tremendous amount of safety and security tasks. I am a reputable individual with drive and passion and I love connecting with people. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am available in the greater West Michigan area. If you are not in Kalamazooo, I am more than willing to travel to you for a small fee, depending how far it takes for me to drive to you. I want you to be at comfort and ease while you’re away, so I always ask for a little note about your expectations of me, your pet(s) feeding schedule, walking schedule and typical routes, what is ok/not ok in regards to (being on the furniture, offering treats, jumping on people - I don’t mind being jumped on at all by a cute dog, but if that’s something you’re trying to train your dog NOT to do, please note that, for example, so I can contribute to your training rather than mess it up. My home is open to dogs (only one at a time) who are OK being around my cat, Oliver. He has been acclimated with dogs.. and I would typically keep them separated if you want me to watch them in my home. I have an apartment, and we have a nice dog park.. but do keep in mind; I might have to fluctuate your fees depending on what adjustments I may need to make to my home or lifestyle to accommodate your pet in my home temporarily! In your home, I am very respectable and trustworthy (with plenty of references so you feel comfortable). I don’t mind doing light cleaning while I am in your space, I always clean up after myself and your pet while you are away. Again, any expectations of me? Just inform me! :)
