Pet Sitting Michigan Hill

“Austin has been a great help, doing drop in visits daily and playing with my pups- giving them lots of love and attention while we are away on a trip! Highly recommend him!”

“We hired Emily to do a few drop in visits of our 3 dogs while we gone for a day. She was awesome and took such great care of them! The pictures we received were precious. Thank you Emily for watching our pups!”

About: *Focusing primarily on cat boarding and care at this time. I will take new dogs on a case by case basis, provided they are well behaved, UTD on all flea, tick, heartworm meds, and rabies vaccine. Cat boarding has become more of my priority. Cat parents, please look for my section on cat care! :) * Welcome to my home, and your cat or dog's new favorite place to stay, Eggbutt Ranch - 3 acres of pet paradise. (For cat boarding- please see cat care details!) Here on my little ranch, I have 3 acres on which I raise and care for my beloved horse, chickens, and goats. With so many different animals and sights to see on the ranch, your pet will have plenty to sniff and explore across the acreage, including the creek (and the wildlife that live along the creek!) that runs through my property. For your pet's safety as well as my animals, I do not let your pet directly interact with the ranch animals, and they are kept on leash, but they can certainly see and smell them as your pet accompanys me on my daily feeding and watering of the ranch animals, getting to see and smell so many new things! Being a remote/online master's student, I am home 24/7 to watch over and care for your beloved pets, and have great flexibility in my schedule. Your pet is never alone, except for maybe an hour if I have to dash out to the grocery store! They do not leave my sight, and enjoy multiple outings throughout the day, generally every 2 hours to go out and go potty, and take a mini walk around the property or play a game of fetch. With every boarded dog, I take them on a daily 45-60 minute walk around the nearby neighborhoods to get exercise and some sniffing enrichment to see and smell even more new things. This is typically conducted in the morning after breakfast, but is highly dependent on when there is a break in the rain. If it is raining, we just look for when there is a dry patch throughout the day and go for our walk then. If your dog cannot handle a 45 minute walk, I modify the walk so that it is shorter and can better accommodate that animal's fitness level and ability. If your dog is very high energy and walk doesn't quite meet their exercise needs, I can also jog/run with them to help get that energy out! Aside from a daily exercise and enrichment walk and mini-walks around the property every few hours, I also try to once daily have indoor or outdoor play sessions with toys. If your dog loves tug-o-war, we play that! If they love to fetch, we throw the ball! If they are not much toy motivated, and just like to snuggle up and get some good belly rubs, we do that too! I try to include play sessions during the day to keep them engaged, mentally and physically stimulated, and happy. Being an outdoors person myself, your dog will also get to join me outside as I continuously work on and improve my property! They get to join me outside and enjoy the fresh air while I keep an eye on them and work on fencing, woodworking projects, gardening, and more. With owner approval, I also take them with me on hikes on occasion at the nearby hiking trails and state and county parks. Your pet becomes a part of my life while they are here. They aren't left out of anything, so they're never bored! For all pets boarded with me, I only take on one family and their pets at a time, in order to keep your pet safe, and keep the number of animals to a manageable level. Rest assured, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only one getting all the love and attention! Strange dogs or kitties don't always mix well, so I make it a policy to only board one family's pet(s) at a time in order to keep everyone safe. I hold a similar policy for doggy daycare services, I only take on one family's pets per day. If your requested boarding days overlap with a day I am providing daycare services for another client, that is ok, I will just inform you that there are other dogs in the house that day, and keep them separated. I do this for everyone's safety, as strange animals don't always mix well, especially in what may be a new and unfamiliar environment for your pet. Again, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only ones being boarded at that time due to my aforementioned policy. It may just be that they overlap with a daycare day, which I will let you know of. I make it a practice to send a text/message as well as a few photos of your pet(s) each day to update you as to how they are doing, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and having fun! If you are boarding with me or using day-care services, I have three partially-fenced acres. Given that it is currently only partially fenced, I keep all animals on a leash/long leash when we go outside for their safety. I use a long leash (22-40 feet long) so that your pet can still explore and run around and have fun while we play fetch and explore around the acreage, but is still safe. Please reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to answer and help! Although this is my first time using Rover, rest assured I have petsat for 15+ years now, for a variety of animals, having begun pet sitting for a large variety for animals of all sizes, ages, and abilities, both domestic and farm, since age 10. Schedule: I'm currently a masters students, in a remote/online program, so I am home 24/7, minus when I run to get groceries. Thanks to my extraordinarily flexible schedule, I have the ability to switch around my own items or "to-do" items in order to meet your pets needs. Safety, trust, environment: I only board one client, or one family's pets at a time, and only take on one client/family's pet(s) per day. This is to not only ensure that your pet is getting my full attention and love, and the number of animals to a manageable number, but to keep them safe, as animals from different families don't always mix well. If your boarding day happens to overlap with a day that I am providing daycare services, I will inform you of this, though rest assured the animals will be kept separate until the daycare clients are picked up. I have baby/pet gates I can utilize for this purpose. I have on hand a small animal first aid kit that I have used in the past for my own animals when needed. This is at the ready in case your sweet pet needs a small cut or scrape disinfected. In the event of a true emergency, I keep on hand a list of nearby emergency vets. During the night when it is time to sleep, dogs are created for their safety. Since it's impossible to keep a close eye on a dog when I am sleeping, I crate them in order to keep them from getting into something they shouldn't, and to prevent any mishaps. All my pet beds and bowls are washed in between boarding stays in order to eliminate any chances of germs or illness being passed between pets. In my home, I am very hands-on with all my animals care. From medications, to grooming, to exercise, training, and daily care and nutrition, I do it all myself, and am happy to provide the same for your beloved pet as well. For any pet boarded with me, or that is in day-care, or that I am providing drop-in visits for, each day you will be sent a photo with a short update on how your beloved critter is doing, including any concerns should they arise. This is something I have always done for anyone I have pet or ranch sat for, as I believe it brings peace of mind for all involved. For cat boarding, I have an empty bedroom in my home that can be utilized as a boarded cat "condo" in which they can be peacefully, and safely isolated from my own pets (4 cats) if needed or preferred, and in order to keep stress levels down if you would like. I can supply scratchers and toys during your cats stay, as well as beds, water and food bowls. Boarding rules: -Please make sure you bring your pet's food, and enough for the duration of their stay! -Please let me know if the animal has any behavioral issues (dog aggression, anxiety, fear, inappropriate elimination, etc). I will not take on dogs that have any human aggression or that have a bite history. -Please let me know if the animal has any medical issues. I can take most of these cases on, I just need to know what to expect, so that I can properly care for the animal, or let you know if I am not the right fit. -Please provide a care sheet for each animal, ideally including their name, age, sex, weight, emergency contacts, veterinarian, any medical concerns, current food and amount they eat per day, their vaccination status, microchip status, as well as any relevant medical or life history. This care sheet will be used not only to provide the best care possible for your pet, but also in case of emergency, should your pet need a vet visit. -Animals must be up to date on their vaccinations and any flea/tick/heartworm medication.

About: I grew up in a big pet loving family. I have taken care of lots of animals that have been my own and other peoples pets. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, giving pets oral and topical medication as well as bathing and cleaning up after them. I currently work full time but am available in the mornings and evenings for dog walking, giving potty breaks and checking in on animals that may need a food refill. My main service will be walking dogs or entering homes to provide other animal caring services. I am good at communicating and can send pictures for updates on how your animal is doing.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

“Alexis was so helpful with my Rottie 8 month old! I was worried about her and Alexis went right over and checked on her for me. I was so relieved and I will be using Alexis again, and frequently!”

“Winnie texted pics to let us know our animals looked just fine with us gone. Even our recluse cat was there to greet us and he never appears for awhile after we’ve been gone! He must have felt comfortable with her there. We are looking forward to Winnie pet sitting for us again.”
