Pet Boarding Okemos

About: I took break a year ago but now I am back and available for your pet needs for 2026! I have grown up working in and out of all kinds of pet rescue agencies along with vet offices. I have owned all types of animals my whole life and it’s something I’ve always been extremely passionate about! I also don’t mind snuggling your animals too ♥️ I currently work from home and have all the time in the world to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I specialize in all kinds of animals! I own three indoor cats but have also had a lot of training on how to handle dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I work from home and happen to have alot of free time and a open schedule I answer calls and texts very quickly so you can depend on me to have last minute scheduling needs or wants. I treat every pet like my own. I've taken care of many different animals all shapes and sizes. I take lots of notes on what they want or need and always ask questions if I ever have any.

“Colleen was great. It was our first time away from our puppy. She made us very comfortable and she sent us a few texts and pictures. Very nice experience.”

About: I have professional experience working at a dog daycare and boarding kennel, where I was trained in dog behavior, group management, and safe play practices. In this role, I supervised playgroups of 15–30 dogs at a time, ensuring a safe environment while encouraging positive social interaction and maintaining a clean play space. I’ve also worked for a professional dog walking and pet sitting company, where I walked regular clients’ dogs and completed many in-home visits. This experience helped me develop strong reliability, attention to detail, and comfort working with pets in their own homes. Outside of work, I’ve owned dogs my entire life and truly consider my dog my best friend. I also have many years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for neighbors and family friends, including caring for puppies and young dogs. I recently graduated, so my schedule is fairly flexible and can vary throughout the week. I’m often available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the day. Feel free to reach out with your dates and times, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. During visits, I make sure pets get plenty of play, attention, fresh food and water, and potty breaks as needed. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or special care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I do my best to create a calm, positive experience so your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved until you return. Spending time with animals is always the highlight of my day! 😊

“Tony did a great job sitting my huskies in my home over a holiday weekend. He sent regular pics and communications and my boys seem to have had a good time.”

“Jessica was simply amazing. She is very thorough and actually cares about the well being of your dog. Max is an energetic puppy still being trained and she handled him with ease. She sent us many updates and photos. Max looked so happy to be with her. Would definitely recommend and we hope to use her again in the future!”

“Stephanie was very accommodating when my plans changed, sent daily updates with pictures, and treated my dog very well! I would recommend booking with Stephanie!”

“First time Rover user for our dog. Robbie was very kind and accommodating for our Tucker. Took him on extra walks, even spoiled him with scrambled eggs when he was homesick and wouldn't eat at first. Robbie checked in with us and sent a photo. She allowed Tucker on her chair to watch TV together and to snuggle in bed at night with her. This was a much less stressful experience for Tucker than a kennel. I recommend Robbie for anyone looking for personalized Rover experience.”

Wendy L.

“Donielle is a phenomenal pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog, and we never worried for a minute. She has years of experience and took fantastic care of our pup. It felt like our dog was on her own vacation and having so much fun she didn't even miss us! I highly recommend Donielle for her professional and caring service.”

About: I grew up in a dog household and absolutely love dogs but when I grew up and got my own place I got two cats who are darling. Now I'd love to volunteer my free time to help other pet parents in the area take care of their furry loved ones! Thursday - Sundays I'm available any time of day (I WFH on Thursdays and Fridays). If you need a check-in or walks before/after work Mondays-Wednesdays I'm also happy to help, my hours are just more limited because I'm in office during the day- but feel free to shoot me a message! I will be very diligent about keeping your home safe and respected just as I would want someone to do the same at my own home.

About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.

About: I have always been around animals my whole life and grew up with multiple pets, caring for them since they were babies up until they were seniors. I’m 25 years old, going to school at Eastern Michigan University to become an elementary teacher. I’m very active and love to be outdoors! I love and treat my pets as if they were family and plan to do the same for your fur babies! I‘ve cat sat for my aunt and uncle and have pet sat for my friends and family as well as past clients on rover, and have worked on a farm in the past caring for horses, barn kitties and dogs. I really enjoy caring for all animals and i’m looking forward to care for yours as if they were my own! I’m a fast learner and very dependable so if your pets need any special treatments you could just let me know and show me how you approach it and I will do the same! My late St. Bernard was on heart medication so I know how to trick even the stubbornest dogs to take their pills or eat if they’re old and don’t have much of an appetite as they used to. I have recently moved to the Howell area and live in an apartment, however my complex is super dog friendly and my apartment has a big (unfenced) yard behind it (would have to keep your dogs leashed if they’re boarded here) with many trails! I’m looking forward to hearing from you and taking care of your furry friends 😊🐾 My schedule is very open for the summer, since I’m on summer break before I begin student teaching in late August. I’m available Monday-Friday, as well as some weekends! I frequently dog sit for my friends and family, with most of my experience being with dogs between a year-fourteen years old, and same goes for cats. When I enter someone’s home I make sure to never approach their pets and let them approach me (because I know it can be nerve-wracking for them to meet a new person at times). I usually let dogs out every hour or more if needed and enjoy going for walks with them or playing fetch or any other games to keep them entertained. I follow the instructions given by the parents of our fluffy friends very closely, feed times, medicine times, treat times, etc. If I need to I usually set reminders so I have a backup reminder if needed. Along with caring for their pets I also clean up after them, litter boxes, toys, their outside duties, and whatever the pet parent instructs. I currently just moved to the Howell area and have not gotten a pet of my own yet, however I can pet sit your pets at my apartment if they’re potty trained, or can take care of them at your house as well!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always around pets and started pet sitting and dog walking at a young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while making sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and cared for throughout my visit.
