Pet Sitting in Pokagon

“Melissa took care of our cat while we were gone on an extended trip. She gave him lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. It was nice knowing someone was looking after our kitty and checking on things in the house as needed.”

About: I've had and cared for animals since I was 7 years old. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, and a variety of livestock. In addition to caring for my personal animals, I've also provided house sitting services, as well as, managed a 10+ horse facility! I work from home, therefore, have plenty of flexibility to tend to your pet! I am available for boarding Thurs-Sun. I am available for daycare Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat - I can accommodate an occasional Tues, Wed for daycare. I live on a beautiful farm nestled in Southwest Michigan. Our farm is a perfect setting for pups of all sizes to play, run, relax, and feel right at home!! With years of hands-on experience, and with my work from home flexibility, you can rest assured knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or lounging around the house, I tailor their stay to match their needs!

“Paxton did an awesome job caring for our kitties! She cared for them just the same as we wood and she gave excellent communication! Thank you SO much Paxton! We will be contacting you for our next vacation! Brian and Shawn 😊”

“Camryn was amazing! She was more than happy to meet Gigi for a quick meet & greet before the drop in. I appreciated her updates on Gigi and the pictures she took while walking Gigi. Will definitely book her again!”

“Maci did a fantastic job looking over our boys! She came through last minute for us and couldn’t have shown them more care and attention. She stayed in good contact and was able to administer medication properly and even get our anxious one to warm up to her in no time! Thank you Maci!!”

About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. I am super open to watching your cat fur babies in my home. I have one dog in the home who is acquainted with cats and your cats will be kept separate at all times.

About: I have taken care of animals basically my entire life. I have had gerbils, cats, dogs, and chickens of my own, but have also been asked to pet sit other’s cats and dogs as well. I have always loved animals and have never had a problem with them not loving me back. I can walk, bathe, feed, and play with your pets as well as anything else you ask of me. I work almost full time Monday-Thursdays, but am usually entirely free on the weekends (especially Fridays and Sundays). Even during the week when I have work, I am free in evenings and early mornings and have enough flexibility to let your pet out to use the bathroom at any time. I am happy to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs to ensure that they are safe and comfortable at all times. If you have a pet that needs constant attention, I can provide that, but if your pet likes space that’s okay with me as well. Whatever makes your pet happy makes me happy as well!

About: I have had dogs all my life, most of which were rescued. I also took a class from victoria stillwell on her website designed to teach you how to understand your dog. I adore all dogs and love to learn their different personalities. I never back away from a challenging behavior because I know alot of dogs have experienced trauma just like alot of people. I work full and my schedule can change week to week but my boss try's to keep it consistent. I typically work 7-6 monday through Wednesday 8-4 on Friday's. Anytime this changes I will immediately contact you and work something else out if it conflicts with specific requested times (such as dog walking). I walk my husky each morning before work regardless of what time I go in so you can be sure I will MAKE the time if I have to. :) I will follow any and all rules/schedules you have for your dog. I will also assist with training if asked. If I am house sitting I will do my utmost to keep the house and its schedule the same as you do when you are home. I am happy to train, play, or just hang out with your doggy pal.

“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”

About: Hi there! I am a current student on break with so much love for animals. I have shadowed and worked at veterinary clinics and I have three dogs of my own. I know having three dogs may seem hectic but they are my joy. I have grown up with dogs, cats, a rabbit and a hamster so I know how to take care of all of our furry friends. I love working with animals, especially dogs, and I hope to become a Vet one day. I have free availability and I am willing to work out any special accommodations. I stay active in my personal life so I am able to make sure the dogs are taken on walks to get out all of their energy. Happy to answer any questions you have and meet your furry companion. I am currently an aspiring vet med student. I have a Bachelors in Marine Biology and Sustainability. I am currently focusing on studying and love to care for any type of animal. I live in a safe neighborhood with a fenced in yard. There are lots of places I like to take my pets nearby including parks, river walks and I love walking on trails.

About: I had a cat growing up but the last 5 years I have had two large, fluffy mainecoon cats that’s are my whole word but at every high maintenance! I would be able to check on dogs and cats after early in the morning it or after work ends for me around 4:00. I have most Friday’s off so I have flexible, long weekends! My own animals are not outdoor cats but we have collars with trackers in case they ever run outside! But luckily they never have 😄 We are very careful about not leaving food out that’s toxic for them to eat like chocolate 🍫

“We have booked with Abby several times and always had a good experience! Our pets are comfortable with her and she does a great job communicating how the visit went.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 and I now have my own dog and cat. I’ve always loved animals and I don’t think any dog is to much to handle. I work part time at target and most of my shifts start at 2 and end at 10. I would be available for any morning or late night dog walks or feedings. Also able to stay with the animals. I have a cat that I take care of fully and I feed her twice a day and my dog also twice a day. I scoop her litter box daily. I follow directions very well and would take care of your animals as if they were my own.

About: I have taken care of all different animals ever since my parents bought me my first horse as a kid! I love all animals including cats and dogs! I’m currently a high school graduate working part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for and play with your pet! I enjoy going for long, daily walks in various kinds of weather with my dogs.

I am a school social worker and have the summers off. I am looking to make some extra money. Lots of experience with dogs and cats. I recently lost my puggle Boomer and my golden doodle Ollie. Boomer was 15 and Ollie was 13. They had good lives and I miss them. I would like to make some extra money also.

About: I've been around pets and other animals for as long as I can remember as a kid (a LONG time ago, lol!). Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds, etc., of all breeds and varieties. This has still not changed to this day, and I currently have three German Shepherds who are just big sweethearts. I can't imagine ever not having pets of some sort. I have recently semi-retired and finally have some time and freedom to pursue things that I love with pet care being one. I pretty much have an open schedule for whatever and whenever your needs may be. I currently have three large dogs with a fairly small house so sitting here would be challenging right now. We are in the process of reworking our space and fencing in the rest of the yard, so this will change in the future. But still open to any other arrangements that might be required. All good for walking and visits though!
