House Sitting in North Branch

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for a few years now. I’ve had family and friends trust me to take care of their animals while they were on trips or even just for a day. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m currently working from home. i am available at any time and any day for walks, check ins, staying over to watch a pet. I will make sure they are taken outside multiple times a day and even on walks. Make sure they are fed and follow any requests given for feeding. Make sure the house is cleaned up from any of their toys or if they were to have an accident by any means. If they are crate trained i will make sure to follow around your rules. i respect the clients home.

“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I currently own a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable handling both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds that need extra attention and care. Caring for my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced in walking, feeding on schedule, providing playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with puppies that need extra patience and energy, as well as with older dogs that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Since I’m organized and good at managing my time, I’m flexible and dependable for drop-in visits or walks during the week! I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s normal routine or giving extra attention when needed, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress while their owner is away. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs through my own pets, a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize safety during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are in caring, dependable hands.

“Rebecca did an amazing job watching our Susie Q. We absolutely love her trust her and would highly recommend her. She’s on time kept us updated throughout the visit and the overnight stay. We are very satisfied.”

Christine M.

“Carolyn is thoughtful and attentive to both her two and four legged clients. She checks in with us and sends pics of our pups. They love when she comes to visit and we feel so comfortable leaving them with her!”

Katherine B.

“Molly was absolutely wonderful with both of my elderly dogs! Bosco and Lola don’t normally warm up that quickly to a stranger but Molly has such a great energy about her. She even sent me pics of my cat even though she didn’t get paid to take care of him just so I knew he was good. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Motica L.

“A heartfelt thank you to Kiara for the peace of mind she gave us during our wedding week. It's a funny thing to say, but I didn't worry about our dogs even once while we were away—and that’s saying a lot considering how much they mean to us! It's just that Kiara made us feel so assured from the start. Our two meet-and-greets really set the stage for a worry-free departure and her fur baby, Wednesday, was the perfect buddy for our pups. Even with two out of our three dogs requiring nightly medication, and one of our Newfoundlands having a whole array of allergy treatments, Kiara handled it all without a hitch. We got the sweetest pictures every day, and it was obvious our dogs were having the time of their lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiara to any pet parent. She's a great pick for anyone who wants their pets to receive the best care and oodles of snuggles!”

“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!

About: Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for years — dogs, cats, and various small animals. I understand that pets have social and emotional needs as much as physical ones, and I make it a priority to give them attention, companionship, and care that matches their personality and routine. I enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel secure and engaged, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply being present. For dogs, I’m comfortable with both high-energy breeds that need plenty of activity and older pups who do best with a slower pace. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays, and I always aim to be reliable, attentive, and consistent so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays throughout the week. I like to build my day around the pets I’m caring for - whether that’s making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need or setting aside time to play with cats and check in on them. Having that flexibility lets me give each pet consistent care without feeling rushed. In a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs out for walks or playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets are safe and cared for until their family is back.

About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds, and all ages since I was 5 years old. Neighbors, friends, family, have all paid me to watch their animals, all of my life! Guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, all sorts of animals! I'm currently not working, or working part-time sometimes. Therefore, I have all the time available to care for your furry loved one! I am available most weekends, and most eeek days for my home- or your home pet sitting and playing! I have a fenced in yard, on a quarter acre lot! I also have 2 friendly fur babies to play with yours. I can also crate your dog if you'd prefer.

“Lauren did amazing with my pups while I was out of town.”

“Alyssa was great with our two dogs for the 3 nights in our home boarding. She is very friendly, played with the dog’s outside, and sent us updates on how they were doing. Would recommend to a friend!!”

About: I have cared for pets my entire life, from watching extended family’s dogs and cats to owning and loving my own. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same care and attention that I would my own. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, or ensuring their routine stays on track, I am committed to proving excellent care and an stress-free experience for both you and your pet! I am currently working full time. However, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention and time to pet care when needed. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine! I promise to plan my day around their needs ensuring they receive the most adequate attention and care. I am available on weekends, and weekdays for sure after 5pm, but I can adjust that schedule if need be. I prioritize safety, trust, and an stress-free environment when caring for my pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home. I follow any specific instructions that are given regarding feeding, walking, medications, and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping the pet’s environment secure. I also keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos of their furry friends. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
