“Jennifer is a great person who cares for your dog just like they were her own dogs. She asked lots of questions to make sure all of our dogs need were met. We have a pretty hyper dog that needs a lot of time for long walks and Jennifer had no problems taking her for her needed long walks. She also gave lots of doggie snuggles and sent us pictures of our girl while they were out and about. Jennifer is very kind and loving toward our girl and we will most definitely use her any time we are away from home.”

About: Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm on the board of a local dog rescue so I have a lot of experience with all breeds and personalities. I'm also the president of a foundation that gives scholarships to the families of pets with emergency veterinary medical bills that they can't afford. For several years I have been very involved in the Lansing area dog community. I'm extremely passionate about helping and taking care of animals. My own dogs are my whole world so I understand the worry of trusting someone else with your dog. I have made a career out of protecting dogs, saving them, and loving them as I love my own. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to help you with your own sweet babies. I also have a lot of experience with special needs dogs. I have my own and have taken care of many in our rescue. I look forward to meeting your super sweet fur kids!

“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”

About: Along with a lifetime of owning and loving my own pets, I spent five years working at a veterinary clinic and I’m extremely comfortable handling animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read behavior, stay calm, and make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, compassionate, and confident working with pets who may be shy, energetic, or still learning. Being around animals has been a big part of my daily life for years, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and care they need. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to build my day around their routine so they get consistent attention and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, check water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for pets who need medication or extra attention due to illness. My five years at a veterinary clinic gave me a lot of hands‑on exposure to animals with different medical needs, so I’m comfortable following instructions, staying calm, and making sure they get the care they need to feel safe and happy.

“Good communication and excellent service”

“Brooke always does such an amazing job with our Louie! He’s a nervous shy boy and she’s always patient and gentle with him and I think he’s even grown to like/ accept her. Highly highly recommend!”

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Taylor has been amazing to our 2 dogs! She always makes sure they're well taken care of and sends lots of pictures. Really appreciate the detailed updates from each walk!”

About: I began working at my hometowns vet clinic when I was 16, where I gained a lot of experience with animal handling and care. I continue to work at the clinic during my school breaks, and I enjoy walking dogs at the animal shelter during my free time on campus. I have pet sat for many friends and family members over the years, which has given me experience caring for both dogs and cats of a variety of sizes and temperaments. I am an undergraduate student at MSU, studying animal science! My class schedule has many gaps, so there are lots of opportunities for me to check in on your pet throughout the day. I provide care through feeding, walking, and keeping your pet company while you are busy or out of town! I am unable to house pets due to living in an apartment that does not allow them, but I am able to provide care for them throughout the day while they remain in the familiar environment of their own home!

“This was the first walk with Jessa. She was on time. She’s quite pleasant. Rhys seemed to take to her right off and some initial tugging I think they established the rhythm intend to set up another next week. I have every reason to believe this is a great beginning.”

About: I myself have one dog and two cats (which will not be living at the house that I can board at) and am experienced taking care of them since they were kittens and puppies. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks and curling up in bed and reading with my cats whenever it gets cold. I personally am not the sole caregiver for my dog so I usually end up with him in the afternoons. They usually consist of me and my dog being lazy on the couch or going to the park, then we usually eat. My dog is trained to go to the door when he needs to go to the bathroom or just wants to go out so I usually end up taking him out every hour-ish. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have both an outside leash which is on the ground (I prefer not to use this) and I also take him out on just a normal leash alone. I also have access to a dog park that I can bring him and other pets to so that they can get out their zoomies.

“Alex is friendly, kind, responsive, and responsible. He quickly got back to me about a last minute dog walk, and also handled our overly excited puppy with ease.”

About: My full name is Olivia Vera Love but you can call me Vera! I’ve taken care of animals of every kind ever since I could walk. Henry was my first dog and he was an English Setter. Ollie was my first cat and he came from a local barn. My mom taught me how to care for their every need and extend that towards other dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, guineas, and goats. I have walked, fed, bathed, brushed, and worked with special needs dogs, chickens, reptiles, and elderly cats. At one point I was taking care of four cats, three dogs, and twenty birds. I'm confident in my experience with animals to leave a positive impact on them. Both of my mom’s dogs are older dachshunds with special needs. I regularly dog sit a lovely miniature Australian Shephard and cat sit a Blue Russian cat on my own time. I also currently own two rats, Cheez-it, and Cake, and they love the Australian Shephard. Im a recent graduate looking for work so I'm flexible at the moment. Routine is two walks a day in the morning and night. I am looking for a full time position so while I currently am able to provide full time support in the future I will be able to provide part time support. I strive to give patience and understanding. I react to the needs of the pet or pet owner and do what needs to be done to do what will make the pet happy. My love for animals is primarily through my love of their capacity for empathy. Through my experiences I have also learned to be stern and to stand my ground with pets to work with them and to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I grew up with 5 pets in the house, 3 dogs and 2 cats. I loved taking all the dogs on walks and playing with them on the beach or outside in the yard. And when I’m inside, I love chilling with the cats :) I am currently only working part-time so I have a very open schedule due to recently graduating from MSU. I am more than happy to work with you on scheduling if needed. I treat any home as if it’s my own. Currently I live in an apartment and will not be able to take your pets to my residence, I am more than happy to stay in your’s. I am a fast learner and can adapt to new environments very well :)
