Steph was an exceptional dog and house sitter! She took my dog Blue for several walks/day, provided daily updates/pictures and left my house very clean. I was able to relax during my time away knowing my dog and house were in good hands. I would definitely ask her to care for Blue again!

Kara was so lovely to work with. She was flexible, timely, and easy to communicate with. She sent me pictures of my dog and gave me great updates. I will definitely be working with Kara again.

About: Since I can remember I’ve been around pets. At one point in time I had 6 dogs and 3 cats! I understand body language and an animals needs. I believe animals are the best things on the planet and they can do no wrong! I’m currently a full time student pursuing an aviation maintenance career! I’m at school 7am-3pm Mon-Fri. Although, I can leave school whenever to take of your pets! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for pets to run around! My personal pets are dog and cat friendly.

This was the first time I have ever employed a Pet service to care for my pet. At the Meet and Greet, my dog, Coco, warmed up to Audriss immediately. I knew then that she would take care of Coco with kindness, patience, and attentiveness otherwise Coco would be off-standish. I wasn't wrong. Audriss presents herself very well. I could assess that she is knowledgeable about pet care and cares about the pets she is caring for. Her communication with me was perfect. Her responses were timely. She was respectful of the place I was staying at which I appreciated. I will use Audriss's pet service again when I am vacationing in Glen Arbor. I highly recommend her to care for your pet(s).

Mika (my cat) was well cared for while I was away for several days. Kris sent photos and it was clear that MIka was smitten. I think that Kris is her new favorite person. I appreciated the care that Kris provided Mika, as well as my home. It was great coming back to a happy cat and a clean house!

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

Noah was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and made me feel very confident in Sisko's care. He sent pictures every day, as we agreed to, and sent extras if asked. My apartment was left in great shape and Sisko seemed in good spirits. Would 100% recommend, and 100% consider hiring for another stay.

Patty did a great job with our 5-month-old GSP. It was the first time we left him since bringing him home, and he was well loved while we were gone for five days. The first time they met (prior to her stay at our house), he took to her very easily and they became fast friends. And, we really appreciated the daily photos while we were gone!

Maria was so sensitive and wonderful and aware of our animals needs! She took great care in making sure our English bulldog had everything he needed, all his medications and extra love and affection! She also took amazing care of our cat- she is truly the most perfectly well-rounded house and pet sitter, and had great communications with questions and updates all through her stay! If your pet is like your child, she is a perfect fit. We can’t wait to book Maria again!

I could not have asked for a better sitter with Regan. She was so attentive to my baby and took him on all the adventures. I would say I can’t wait to book her again, but I already have two additional stays booked with her…..Otis and I could not be more excited. She sent photos galore that made me so happy. Otis was a tired pup when I arrived home so I knew he had the absolute best time.

About: I am currently in Traverse City, Michigan. I spend a lot of time between here and Phoenix. I can do last minute sits or drop ins. If you book ahead of time, I can usually work my schedule around where I am. I have lots of time to walk and love on your pets. Very reliable and able to care for your home as well. Last minute sittings or walks are welcome. I will love and treat your pets as if they are my own. I have mostly done pet and house sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I can get you my reviews from there if you would like further reviews about me. They are all 5 stars. I love taking care of all pets. I have watched big dogs, little dogs, rats and cats and hairless cats. My calendar can change by the minute. Once I commit to you, I will commit to my time with your pet when you book me. I am a flight attendant with lots of time on my hands. My schedule is flexible and I can do a last minute walk or plan ahead for a long sit. I will leave my schedule as booked and open it when I get back from my flight. I am great for last minute sits or if you know ahead of time, I can usually book far in advance and work my flight schedule around you. I mostly work out of the Phoenix area and Traverse City, Michigan. If coming to your home, I ask for a detailed list of your preferences. I will follow and respect you and your pets needs. I am physically fit and love would love to walk your pup or take them for a hike if they are able. I am a flight attendant so I have had an extensive background check. I get random checked for drugs and alcohol. I am very respectful of your rules and space and I am very kind and loving to animals.

She was very responsive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and followed Monty’s routine and any house instructions/requests to a T. The house was in pristine condition when I got home. Highly recommend and will be booking with Marg again!

We had an optimum experience with Steph. She gave wonderful care to our 3 pets, asked questions I hadn’t even thought of, and was very thorough in following instructions. She housesat for us for 4 days and left the house spotless. She sent updates and pics several times a day, so we felt so secure and pleased with the care she was giving to our pets. We would not hesitate to hire Steph again next time we need a sitter. She is a very sweet, thoughtful, and capable young lady and went above and beyond our expectations. We give her 10 stars!
