Top rated Petoskey house sitters
“Eric is an excellent Dog Sitter! Within minutes he had befriended our oldest cranky Shorkey at the Meet and Greet. When he arrived to sit with our dogs they were actually excited to see him. Eric is a Dog Whisperer and our dogs like him a lot. We really appreciate Eric and will gladly use him again! Thanks for the great communication and pics of our dogs while we were out for the day!”
“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”
“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of Humphrey and the house. Our big baby got lots of cuddles and attention and we felt great knowing he was being taken care of. We'd definitely use, and do plan to book with Chloe again next time we need a sitter!”
“Sally was amazing. She watched our extremely anxious dog while we got married up north. She sent updates and made me feel so much at ease. Couldn’t be more grateful!!”
“Kathryn is amazing! She is kind, attentive and responsible. I trust her implicitly with my little fur-bean. I’m so happy to have connected with her. She takes the worry and stress out of traveling — I don’t have to worry about my pup or my house when Kathryn is there to take care of everything.”
“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”
“We were out of town and booked Emma to watch our golden and Springer spaniel for the day while we went in a kayak day trip. The girls seemed relaxed and at ease with Emma. We even got an update text and picture. We would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals from a young age, and helped train my now 10 year old dog! I have dog sat for old, young, big, and small dogs alike, all with a wide range of schedules and routines! As a recent college graduate, I am available most days of the week while I am job searching! I am very flexible with timing and schedules! In my own home, I am responsible for taking my dog for walks, bathing him, feeding him, and letting him out to go to the bathroom. I will do the same for my client’s pets, along with anything else required!
“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”

I will always keep you updated as much as you’d like on all the details you need. When I am not working I am usually home cleaning and doing laundry or out enjoying the nice weather with my family so my schedule is pretty open for a planned vacation or a last minute let out. I will always let your pup out how you prefer and if I’m boarding they will not be left alone for more than a few hours. I will treat your pups like my own. Safety and love are my number one priorities.

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. I have a large yard with room to roam, sniff and play away from others and a large kennel. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.
