“Absolutely amazing! I can always rely on Dawn for the very best care of my dog while I’m at work. I feel extremely comfortable and confident in her care. Reina adores Dawn! I could not have asked for a better, more caring woman to care for my dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of people’s pets for over 15 years. Dog sitting, long-term pet sitting, walking, bathing, swimming. Love to take spoil pets and take them on adventures or simply walk them in the neighborhood. I am currently taking all times and dates. Little notice required if I am available. Any time any date I am here to care for your pet when you can’t. I unfortunately can’t take pets in my home due to my cat who doesn’t share my love for dogs. In your home I will care for your dog as you do. Clients have told me their dog is depressed after leaving me! Bittersweet.

About: I’ve been really enjoying working with and meeting new dogs on the side! We would listen to calming music, go on morning and night walks, and whatever else your dog is into :) I believe dogs enjoy my calm yet present presence. I am a college student and have a very flexible schedule right now for house sitting, walks or check-ins. I would love to take care of your dogs or cats! While dog sitting, I make sure to respect the space by being clean and really enjoy cozying up with dogs and emphasize being present and calm with dogs. It would be a mix of lounging and exercise.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. Im home because my father died and my mother needed help here. Finding a new corporate job has been tough in this area, so this is a way for me to heal and keep my bills paid. If the job is more than 30 miles from my home, I will add on mileage for meet and greet and for the stay, as I have taken losses on that in the past when I didn't. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!

“Erica was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be using her again in the future. She was wonderful with Murphy and great at communicating!!”

About: In over 30 years of grooming and caring for dogs and cats, I’ve gained valuable experience in making them feel comfortable and at home. ❤️ I am currently working part time and have a variable schedule. I am able to take breaks to return home and accommodate all the pets needs. we have a nice backyard that has an invisible fence with a mature, small little dog to play with your pets. He is both cat and dog trained.

“Thanks for the help with Nova in the cold weather.”

About: I’ve always had animals all of my life and have assisted in taking care of them more and more in the recent years. I also have some general volunteering with specifically the cats at the humane society and assisting in socializing them with humans. I currently am not yet employed but am searching around for potential part-time jobs or other ways to make money for the summer so as of now my schedule remains fairly flexible with only a few weekly commitments potentially altering exact times available. I remain flexible with the exact parameters you’d want with the service but with my own animals I feed them for their meals. Alongside that I scoop and refill my cats’ litter boxes. And while never my favorite I can clean up messes if a cat or dog gets sick or has an accident.

About: I’ve had experience with all types of dogs ranging from Akita’s to Boston terriers. At home I have a high strung Dutch Shepard that could play fetch till his heart explodes and a little purse princess that is content sleeping all day. I am very reliable and flexible. Life doesn’t get much better than being paid to hangout with dogs 😂 I work two jobs. My week job is done by 10:30 in the morning. I usually get a workout in after and my day is done by noon. On weekends I serve wedding so my availability will be scarce. I am paid 30/hr for both but if you pay me more you become my first priority. My dogs at home have an enclosed dog run that is a little less than an acre where they can relive themselves and enjoy outside without the stress of them leaving. My Dutch shepherd goes on walks and hikes with my mom and I. In a clients home I am willing to go on walks and/or bring the dog(s) to parks. On the other hand I am a college student that can hangout with the dog at home and let them out periodically while I study my class material.

“Emma takes such good care of Mica. I can tell he's had good exercise after he visits by how chill he is”

“We were thrilled with Alex and the dogs love him too. Alex is professional, friendly, caring for the dogs and trustworthy! He met with us before he started the assignment to learn about us and the dogs and any of our special requests. He showed up every day, always on time and did more than what was required. We have already referred him to others and will definitely use him again!”

“Followed instructions. Dogs look happy”

“We highly recommend Marissa even though we haven’t met. She was very communicative and sent photos. Thanks so much for the care of our fur babies!”

Both me and the companionship of your pups will benefit going on adventures together I am in my last semester of college and only have classes Tuesday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets out for outside adventures.
