Pet care experience
Serene Critter Care
Thank you for visiting my page! I've been an animal lover my whole life and a full-time dogsitter since 2019. I love being surrounded by dogs, and I'm available to care for your dog in my home 365 days a year. I'm very flexible and able to accomodate your busy schedule. With over 500 5-star reviews and over 200 repeat customers, I'm by far the most experienced sitter in all of Lansing! At Serene Critter Care I offer dog boarding and daycare. During their visit, your pup will be in a fun and loving environment. When you board with me, you can expect the best care for your loved one. They will be treated like my own, with respect, compassion and love. Your pup will have good socialization with other well-mannered dogs during their stay. Your dog will enjoy play and social time with my two dogs and my other guests. At Serene Critter Care, your dog will make themselves at home with full access to my living area, and frequent trips to my fenced-in back yard. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family here. ** My ex-wife Victoria is not dogsitting anymore. As a result, I no longer offer Baths or Nailtrims. ** I *DO* accept: - Friendly, playful dogs that enjoy being around other pups - Quiet, happy dogs that like to cuddle on the couch - Elderly dogs that like to nap all day I *DO NOT* accept: - Breeds with dangerous jaws (Pitbull, Rottweiler, etc) - Guard dogs, attack dogs or intimidating dogs (German Shepherd etc) - Dogs with any history of aggression or bites - Dogs over 40ish pounds - Destructive dogs (chewing on walls, furniture, cables, etc) - Excessively loud dogs - Night barkers - Dogs that might hop my 3.5 foot backyard fence
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My pups can be a handful—both have medical needs, and one is a very energetic puppy—but they were well-cared for over the course of a week. I was impressed by Rishi’s obvious love for dogs; he is very observant and considerate of their unique personalities.
My dog Mabel loved Rishi and made herself right at home. Rishi is great! He was very informative and kept us updated on how Mabel was doing throughout the day.
My boys had a great stay with Rishi. The photo and video updates are so appreciated when we’re out of town. Will definitely rebook for future travel needs.
My dog always enjoys his stays with Rishi when we're in Lansing!
My dog loves being part of the pack here at Serene Care! She enjoys her vacation while I enjoy mine!
My dogs were well loved and cared for! Rishi sent us videos daily and was phenomenal and was able to keep up with my young puppy. We will be using him again.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs share my living area with me, just like they probably do in your home. They have full access to my living room and dining room, and sometimes the kitchen. I also have a Dog Bedroom on the first floor, that door is often open during the day as well. I am very selective with my clientele. I only accept dogs that are safe around other dogs.
Pets
A typical day
Your pet will have access to my toy-filled living area where they will play all day with other well mannered dogs. I allow dogs on the couch, and offer all day cuddles and lap time. The dogs are allowed outside for monitored potty breaks several times a day. If your dog prefers to sleep in a kennel at night then please bring it with you when you drop them off, as I do not have any guest kennels. Your dog will generally be in the kennel only for feeding time and bed time; the rest of the day will be like a fun vacation for your dog.
