About: I have worked professionally for over 10 years in the animal industry, focusing on animal care and training. I was a dog trainer instructor for 5 years, and have worked with over 50 breeds of dogs of varying ages and obedience levels. I have also worked as a zookeeper for 5 years, and provided a high level of accredited care to all types of animals. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse this past year, and I can no longer sustain a healthy work life balance at the place I work at. I am very saddened by it, but I hope you will allow me to provide the quality and level of care I aspire to on a smaller and more personalized level. I am currently part time and in transition to another career path, working the late morning into early afternoon for only four hours a day. As such I can accommodate early mornings and late evening tasks, such as a walk or feeding or check in. We are animas of routine and I will do my best to keep any daily routine you have with your pet to keep your absence as stress free as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. I am very good with the dogs that take awhile to warm up to people. I could also help you with letting your dog outside a few times a day as needed. I’m working from home with a very flexible schedule. We have a cat who is friendly and gets along well with all dogs who stay here. I have a long tie-in rope in my backyard for dogs and can also walk around the neighborhood. I can also care for your pet at your house.

About: I have spent years working with dogs, including teaching puppy classes for two years. This gave me a solid foundation in canine behavior and positive reinforcement. Because of my healthcare background, I am exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and observant of subtle behavior changes or medical needs. I specialize in dogs of all temperaments—especially anxious, sensitive, or reactive dogs who require a "slow-is-fast" approach. I am calm and safety-focused, prioritizing your dog’s body language and signals over rushed interactions. Whether your dog is high-energy or needs a quiet, structured environment, I provide the consistent care they need to feel safe while you’re away. My schedule is generally flexible, with availability on weekday and weekends. I plan bookings carefully and limit my schedule to ensure each pet recieves attentive, unrushed care. I communicate clearly about timing and am happy to discuss routines and advanced bookings. I follow each owner's instructions carefully and use my experience to create a calm safe environment. I prioritize clear communication, consistancy, and attentive observation to keep pets comfortable and safe.

About: Hello! I am Victoria. I am going to school part-time for Business Management and work full time on 3rd shift, which gives me time during the off hours to drop in and check on your pet as well as take them for a nice walk during the day. I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was 10, mainly dogs, lizards and hamsters. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and am comfortable giving medication as needed. I work 3rd shift. I am available between my sleep schedule, mid day to mid afternoon to care for your pet with drop-ins and take for walks, usually 20-30min. I care for the pet as they were my own. There’s no shortage of walks, scratches, love and cuddles. And any other enrichment the pet may need.

“Jasmine was great- she provided updates & made sure both our dogs were loved on while we were gone. We look forward to having her back!”

“Thanks for always going above and beyond with my dog! You are the best dog sitter I have had and I will always try to book when available. I love all the updates you give and how in contact you are the whole time. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: I have been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to raise hunting dogs when I was a little girl and I've always had at least two dogs at home! Growing up, I'd pet and house sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I've also worked at several doggy daycares and have cared for pups of all size, age, and ability. I would love to earn your trust when it comes to taking care of your fur babies- they're not just dogs, they're family. As a new mama, I am only working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care for your babies, too! I will ensure that your babies are treated like my own. TO me, this means that they won't need to wait long for potty breaks, will be fed at the appropriate time, and will always have a safe and calm environment while you are away.

“My dog, Jake, loved Mya!!! Will definitely use again when I need a pet sitter.”

“Sarah was excellent, and great last minute help.! She made time to meet myself and Rocky prior to sitting which I appreciated a lot. She was very trustworthy and made me feel comfortable leaving my Rocky with her!”

“Benji had a great time at Jennifer‘s place, He had lots of snuggle time, plenty of walks and just love chilling with her and her son. He was well taken care of and I look forward to our next time Benji can stay at your house. Jennifer was great with Benji and sent photos and text messages for updates on how he was doing!”

“We needed care for our 10 week old puppy and Judy took wonderful care of him. It was nice to have a meet and greet before leaving our puppy. After this meeting we felt comfortable leaving our puppy in Judy's care. Turns out our puppy had a wonderful visit and was nicely socialized with three other dogs in Judy's care. During the visit many photos and text messages were exchange that we appreciated very much. When I picked our puppy up, I could tell Judy really listened and shared some comments\observations with us. Would highly recommend Judy and will certainly reach out again when our puppy needs care. Thank you to Judy and her sister!!”

About: We have had many breeds of dogs, varying from young to old. I have cared for healthy dogs as well as ones with health issues. Currently, we have two VERY spoiled, elderly pups, Nora, 12 yr old lab mix and Princess, 11 yr old Shih Tzu mix, both are rescues. We are dog lovers and have raised puppies as well as older rescue dogs We offer a very dog friendly home and will provide a home away from home environment for your pup. You can have absolute confidence in knowing that your pet is well taken care of and is given superior loving care. Remember, you're on vacation, and they're on vacation too. I am retired with years of pup experience. Generally I am available at a moment's notice IF you're a past client, and have done a meet & greet prior. There is always someone here with your loved one, and they are never left alone. I have 30 years of dog ownership experience, I will do whatever it takes and what the parents want in terms of care for their fur babies.(the purpose of my meet & greet) so the parents and pups are comfortable and the stay is stress-free. I am retired so your fur baby will never be left alone. Our home is safe and secure so you can rest assured they will get the best care possible. Our yard is fenced and is the perfect play area for some outside fun. Our home is situated a block off Lake Michigan and surrounded by wooded trails. Our dogs enjoy a good daily walk and so can yours.

“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”

About: I worked with dogs for 16 hours a week every week for a few years and have one of my own at home. I have dog sat for family friends and take their dogs on walks as well! I just love spending time with dogs. I also have an associates degree in veterinary technology. I am working part time as a veterinary technician and would be walking and doing drop in visits around my current schedule as well as in house boarding while attending work part time. I will make sure that you pet feels comfortable with me and I will get to know their behavior so that I can get closer to them and take very good care of them according to your usual routine with them and their needs that they bark/meow to me. If any emergency were to ever occur I would use all of my knowledge and resources to help your pet as well as taking them to the vet!

“We are so grateful to Tanya for taking such good care of our 2 hihuahuas and our indoor/outdoor cat. Our dogs have had a difficult time with prior pet sitters but for Tanya quickly had become trusting and affectionate to her within just a couple of days. Tanya left the home in a remarkably clean condition. She is very professional and excelled our expectations. Thank you, Tanya! She is now our goto petsitter. 😊”

“We were leaving our cat and home for over 2weeks. After meeting Jessica we felt pretty good about hiring her. Every day she communicated with pictures and updates which put us at ease. What we didn’t expect was her extraordinary care for both our cat and home! We had a late arrival home to a cleaned house , happy cat, fresh bedding and flowers! We will certainly ask for Jessica’s help any time we leave home again.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have been happier having Tarah take care of my dogs. She was professional, courteous, and just loved on my dogs like I do. She even handled my deaf special needs boy who is very active. :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are to your pet’s well-being. I’ve also worked with shy or reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable following any special instructions to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is currently wide open, so I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your dog’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, last-minute bookings, or ongoing care. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs on-leash during walks (unless in a secure, off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe routes, and stay alert to other animals or hazards. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.
