Pet Sitting Pavilion

“Camryn was very communicative and really went the extra mile as we have a new puppy who needed a lot of extra care and attention alongside our grown dog. Looking forward to leveraging her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life. My real passion is dogs and I’m focused on dog sitting/boarding/daycare, but I’m happy to take care of cats and drop in for other animals. I have owner trained (working with professional trainers) one at home service dog and am in the process of owner training a public access service dog. I use fear free training methods and animal management (no tools like e and prong collars). This means sometimes things take a little longer and look a little chaotic, but as long as all the animals are safe and as happy and healthy as possible, that’s what matters. I have two yellow labs (one bench, one field), a mixed breed rescue, and a cat. All my animals are very animal friendly. My big lab does take a noisy minute to adjust, but he’s a big sweetheart once he’s got the lay of the land. I have a yard with a living fence and a wooded property where the dogs can be walked if needed. I am home full time and just becoming an empty nester, so I have plenty of time and attention to devote to our furry friends. Most days it will just be me and the animals on our wooded property so there’s plenty of time and room for relaxation and play. I have a fairly large fenced yard and wooded surrounding property. My home is laid back and the animals are treated like family. They are welcome on furniture and have plenty of room to play and toys to play with. I just ask they be on tick and heartworm prevention as there are many bugs in the woods. I utilize positive reinforcement techniques in my home and do not use tools like e and prong collars. We use lots of treats to reward good behavior, so if there’s something your dog can’t have, please let me know. I have regular experience with basic grooming and administering meds. I have crates available if needed or preferred. I’ll do my best to care for them as you want. Our big lab, George does have some scary looking anxiety upon meeting (barking and growling). If you are boarding/daycare/meet and greet with us, George will be in a pen on leash, harness, and muzzle to start (either inside or outside weather dependent-prefer outside). As your dog explores, I will work with George to adapt to the new situation and eventually greet your dog appropriately. Once that happens, he’s good with appropriate play, boundary setting, etc…. It’s just the initial greeting that needs a little more management.

“Ally did an absolutely phenomenal job taking care of our dogs and cats over the Christmas holiday. She followed all our care instructions perfectly and sent tons of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated getting! She also went above and beyond in other ways, like cleaning the kitty bed after an accident and discarding some fruit that was going bad on the counter. The communication was top-notch, so we always felt like we knew how everyone was doing. The dogs got plenty of exercise on their walks and lots of affection from Ally and her husband. We will 100% be re-booking with her! Thank you again Ally :)”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and I can appreciate every breed. They all deserve love and compassion, and I've recently made room for cats, as well. Pets are family members, so I don't mind lending a hand for family! I have two jobs, but I am hoping to make this a replacement second job. My day job, I get out at 3pm and I have the rest of the day to help out. Of course, I have my own dog, so I'd like to stop home and care for her first before helping out where I'm needed, but other than that, I have a pretty open schedule, especially on the weekends! I will always opt for going to a client's home because I rent my place of living and am limited in bringing around other pets. I will follow any instructions given to me by my clients, and am very good at sending updates!!

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 9 years old. Lots of experience with both long and short term house sitting, with multiple animals with different needs! Currently I work part time as a dance instructor, so I have plenty of time and energy to keep your pets entertained. I’m available most days for house sitting and pet care Your home, your rules! Your pets, your schedule! Routines are super important for both animals and humans. My goal as your sitter is to make the irregular feel regular, for you and your pet(s).

“McKensi did great with my pups. She was very professional and knowledgeable when talking to me and very loving and caring for my pets. She made me feel very comfortable with the way she would treat them. I would definitely book her anytime I need someone.”

Willing and able to assist clients with medication administration to pets on a strict schedule. Patience and consistency is key to quality pet care. I vow to respect the home of all of my clients, and provide the best service I can.

“I used Rod again for my pugs! They LOVE him. I scheduled him last minute and he immediately responded and made me feel good — once again—to leave my babies with him. He stayed longer than he needed to and i felt so comfortable being away.”

I provide reliable, compassionate pet care and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether you need someone to check in, provide companionship, or care for your pets while you're away, you can count on me to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for.

I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of affection while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they're receiving compassionate, reliable care while you're away.

About: I have been in the veterinary medicine field for about 4 years now between working in small animal and large animal clinics over the years as well as through school at Michigan State University. I have been trained to minister care for all cats/dogs of all breeds/sizes. If your pet has any health issues such as diabetes or has hit senior years, no worries! New puppy paws running around? Glad to be of assistance to help them learn better manners and play til the nap! I am a full time Veterinary Technician at a local veterinary hospital in Kalamazoo. My schedule is a typical “8-5” job and have an 1 hr break for lunch during that time. I can be very flexible since I have some free days during the week and can provide care for your pets around my schedule. I’m free most weekends but work from 8-2 on some Saturdays. Since I am not able to keep your pets in my home due to space, I will treat your home with all respect. If you have places and boundaries that are set, they will be followed accordingly. If your pet or myself makes a mess, it will be cleaned up immediately! I have a pet cleaner machine and products to get pet stains out in a jiffy!
