Pet Sitting in Merrill

“Madeline checked in on our cat each day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive and communicated well. She even showed concern for some of our house plants. I appreciate her very much and had peace of mind knowing our cat was in good caring hands!”

“Jennifer is amazing. My dog loved her. You can tell she really cares for your pet and she will go the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable while you are away. I look forward to having her watch my dog again.”

Rachel L.

“Shannon was a great companion for my pet while I was away. She even accommodated me when travel troubles delayed my return home and checked on my cat for an extra day. I really appreciate her communication and readiness to help!”

“Mariah and Max were able to help me with my dogs short notice. Grateful for their flexibility and they took really good care of my pups.”

“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Shaylin did a fantastic job with our dog! She stayed the full agreed-upon time, gave great care, and even took her on walks. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Shaylin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Suzanne H provides professional and dependable pet care. When she is taking care of my cats I do not worry about being away. She has made friends with my cats, even the shy one. I get updates, photos and she works her schedule to make sure my cats are taken care of when I’m gone. I’m truly grateful and I can relax knowing cats are receiving excellent care.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I’m working part time on the weekends but I’m available all the time Monday through Thursday. On weekends I usually work up to 3 4 hour shifts so I still have time to take care of pets! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.

“Heather is excellent in communication, making sure she knows what the pet owner and pets need, and paying attention to the furry kids. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. Seeing any animal/pet beings a joy to my day. I’ve loved being able to volunteer at different Humane Societies across Michigan, and look to adopt very soon! My schedule is super flexible, so you will not have any worries about myself being able to meet up with your pups or cats. My schedule changes weekly, so I am able to always make valuable time for your animals!! There is a fenced in area here, and many places I am able to walk/drive to to be able to take out your animals for whatever they need!

About: Taken care of various dogs and sizes. From puppies to older dogs. I enjoy relaxing and chilling with my frenchie. I make my own frozen dog treats 🤸‍♀️ On my off days i love spending with my ralphi. He loves to play with other dogs and would like it if he had someone to play or chill with besides me. I have 2 dogs that will keep your dog company. Frenchie is playful and older grey labrador just wants to be left alone but pet all day by a human. Have a huge yard that doesnt have a fence and can see all of the yard.

“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

About: I currently sit on a board of directors and volunteer with my boyfriend at a local animal rescue. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of pets with special needs (one of my pets is special needs!). I currently work Saturday-Tuesday remotely and a flexible, in person schedule Wed-Friday. My schedule is designed for flexibility, so I can easily meet the needs of you and your fur baby! I have over 15 years experience caring for dogs and over 7 caring for cats. I treat others’ pets as if they were my home. I am available 24/7 and love to message photos and videos to the pet owner. If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!

“Maddie is wonderful with my dogs. Have used her twice and have scheduled two more in near future. Thank you Maddie.”

About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!

“Adrienne is the best! She has watched our pets several times for us while we had various things going on and had to be away from home. She always takes the dogs for walks, always sends photos, leaves notes on how they did, makes sure they are fed, gives them treats. Anything we ask, she does. Couldn't ask for anyone better. Thank you so much!”

Justin C.

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.
