Dog Sitting in Ortonville

“Hannah is a great caregiver, she took my boy for walks and sent some cute pics of him. I highly recommend her!”

About: As a previous Assistant Manager at Pet Supplies Plus, I have a vast range of experience regarding animal care from dogs to ferrets to chameleons! Although Rover is something I’m looking to do on the side, pet care and education is something I’m very passionate about throughout my everyday career. Working at Leader Dog, I have gained the knowledge and experience to observe and assess a dogs mental state through body language and stress signals.

“This was a first time visit and she took time to meet with us beforehand. She sent texts of our elderly cat on both days that she visited. I appreciate her prompt responses to let us know all is well.”

About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.

“Kate was great! She came to my rescue with very short notice. She went above and beyond by cleaning up after my puppy. Will definitely use her again!”

“Yvonne is such a caring sitter! Mavis is very cautious of people and she warmed up to Yvonne instantly ❤️ thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby while we were gone. 10/10 would chose Yvonne to watch my pet/s again.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of consistency, structure, and communication I provide. I’m very detail-oriented and take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that pets thrive on predictability, so I prioritize keeping their normal schedule as much as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working full time but don’t have a typical 9-5 job. I’m available for morning, mid-day, and evening care depending on the day or service requested. I’m organized, reliable, and plan my schedule intentionally so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding times, and play. I’m especially mindful of sticking to established routines. I enjoy building pet care into my day rather than squeezing it in, so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is the same: safety, routine, and affection. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred routines. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure pets have plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is for pets to feel secure and for owners to feel complete peace of mind. I also have a Shih Tzu of my own who is 5!

“This was the second time Riann watched my boys and she was wonderful. Responsive, responsible, and genuinely sweet to my fur babies. Thanks Riann!!”

Margaret G.

“Kara is hands down the best. She’s the only person we trust with our dog and cats. I highly recommend her and am so thankful for the great care she provides.”

Sherry R.

“Molly was amazing! Both of my cats warmed up to her very quickly, and one of them is generally very skittish. Molly made sure they were fed, watered, cleaned up their litter box and gave them lots of love and attention. She gave me updates and photos with each visit. I will absolutely be booking with Molly again!”

Mandi O.

“Lauren came and meet my dog Sammy before went great she is a great listener. Kept me informed of visit details and pictures of her visit. Looking forward to her help in the future as I start to need it more.”

About: Loving Home on an Acre – Your Dog’s Second Family! Hi there! We’re a pet-loving family offering dog boarding and doggy daycare from the comfort of our home. With over 12 years of experience as pet owners and more than 8 years of dog sitting, caring for animals is second nature to us. We recently lost our beloved pup, and while we miss her deeply, we’re excited to open our hearts and home to new furry friends. We live on a fully fenced-in acre—plenty of space for sniffing, running, and exploring. Whether your dog loves lounging in the sun or playing fetch, they’ll have the freedom and safety to do what they love. We work remotely and have a teenager who is home from college for the summer, which means your dog will never be alone—there’s always someone here to provide companionship, belly rubs, and supervised outdoor time. We welcome dogs of all breeds and ages, from energetic puppies to relaxed seniors. Our home also includes one very mellow cat who is used to dogs. We ensure a calm, respectful environment for all our guests and treat each pet as if they were our own. If you’re looking for a safe, caring, and attentive place for your dog while you’re away, we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we both work remotely from home, we’re here all day to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Our days include regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks tailored to each dog’s needs and energy level. Because we live on a fenced acre, your pup will enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time, supervised at all times. Whether it’s cuddle time on the couch, fetch in the yard, or quiet moments for senior dogs, we’re fully present and engaged. Caring for pets isn’t just something we do—it’s something we love and live every day. We provide a calm, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs staying with us become part of our daily routine, which includes supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced acre, regular potty breaks, and personalized play or rest depending on their energy level. We’re always home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and snuggles throughout the day. We follow your feeding and medication schedule closely and make sure to maintain any habits your dog is used to—whether that’s crate time, leash walks, or cozy bedtime routines. Our home is dog-friendly, and while we have one cat, they’re used to dogs and tend to keep to themselves.

“Emily did an amazing job watching my two cats! She gave thorough and fun updates and I knew my kitties were safe and having fun. My cats as specific diets and she was great with them and was communicative throughout”

I loved the pictures she took and sent to me. She did a great job and I highly recommend Brittany, she is our go to cat sitter.”

About: I've had a love for dogs since I was a little kid! My parents have always had a dog that I helped take care of. I am now 36 years old and live with my husband and our 3 dogs, Lexi, Alfie and our newest rescue Gretchen Wieners. :) They get a lot of love and I am looking to spread the love even more! I love little dogs and would love to meet yours and take him or her for a little walk or make sure they are taken care of while you're away! I currently work from home so I am home a lot of the time and able to take breaks to walk dogs, play with them, let them out often, and give cuddles! I am available most of the time with my current schedule. I'd love to help you care for your best friend! Message me if you have any questions. :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can pop by to check on your pet! I love going for walks but would prefer to walk smaller or medium dogs. I have three dogs that are very loved and cared for. I have a large yard that is fenced in and lots of toys and treats to share!

“Erin is wonderful! We needed her to drop in and take care of our 2 boys (dog and cat) on Christmas Eve and Day and she agreed. She has previously taken great care of them so we were very pleased she agreed to come visit (and the boys were happy too!)”

Jeffrey M.

“Emily was very prompt and sent adorable photos of our cat. He is an older cat (15) and has a special diet which she had no trouble following. He was happy and healthy when we came home.”

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.
