“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!
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.
About: With two years of hands-on experience working in a dog daycare boarding facility, followed by a year at a groomers your pets are in very safe hands! With a flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet, I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for your beloved pets. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch, interactive play sessions, or simply ensuring that your pet feels loved and cared for while you're gone, rest assured that I treat each pet as if they were my own. Your furry friends are in good hands with me!
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.
“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!”
About: I have grown up with pets of all sorts in the house since I can remember. I love having animals around. I spend much of my free time hiking and exploring. 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. I have a fairly large home that doesn't have anything your pets can get into. My neighbor has two friendly labs that frequently pay a visit and love to play with my parents dog when they are in town.
About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life. My husband and I have one Yorkshire Terrier Harley (3) and one Mini Australia Shepard named Beacon (10). They are best friends! Friends, and family often ask me to watch their pets and it brings me so much joy! I allow dogs on my furniture I’m and treat them as humans. They are my favorite animal and I am truly honored to watch your furry friend(s)! I work from home as a gemologist and jeweler. I substitute teach around Northern Michigan, on occasion. I am my own boss which allows me to plan my days with great flexibility. Your pup will have plenty of attention from me if they want it! Unfenced backyard. Located adjacent to Hay Lake Marina at Admirals Point HOA. Plenty of grassy areas to walk, and boat launch for dog swimming is available!
