“Chloe did a a fabulous job watching our little girl. She spent lots of time playing with her and gave her ample supervised outdoor time. She even left Cat TV on for our girl while she was away. Chloe sent us multiple updates with pictures and was always very responsive. We are also very appreciative with how much time Chloe was able to spend with our kitty while we were away, ensuring that she did not get lonely. We highly recommend Chloe and will be booking her in the future! :)”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I've had all kinds of pets in my life, from bunnies and fish to kitties and dogs! I have experience giving medications, in pill form and injectables (previously had a pet with diabetes), and I'm comfortable with some grooming, like baths and brushouts. I love getting to know everyone's pets and being able to love them like my own -- they become part of my family, too! I have a full time job but find that my hours are perfect for sitting! I have most weekends off as well, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Boarding in my home is a little different. Due to my own animals safety, I do require AT LEAST ONE meet and greet with my dogs to ensure they get along. Your pet will also absolutely need to be okay with cats, and they will need to be crate trained in order to be left at my home. All my dogs are crate trained and are crated when we are not home. There is also a list of vaccines I require your pet(s) to have--I will share these if you're looking to book sitting in my home! Sitting in YOUR home is MUCH different and actually preferable for senior dogs or anxious dogs! I don't like to stress dogs out with an environment change, it can be too much for some dogs and I'd hate to put your pet through that! I will follow all house rules and routines for your pet, and I always clean up after myself and your pet, which includes dishes, changing bedding, laundry (occasionally), vacuuming, etc.!
About: Pets are like family and I will make sure that your pet is taken care of properly. I am a dependable worker and I am looking for some part time jobs while I work remotely as a research scientist at MSU! I have been a foster mom to kittens and dogs, pet sitter for family friends and am now a cat mom myself. I am comfortable with big or small dogs and I am very good with cats of all ages/ personalities. I am now working remotely for MSU so my schedule is very flexible in terms of watching pets during the work week or on weekends! It is easy for me to pet sit during the day as long as I have WiFi! I am available to take pets on walks of any length, take them to the vet if something should happen while the owner is away and will treat your pet like my own. I have also been in charge of pets with extensive medication schedules so that is something I am available to offer if you have a sick pet!
“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.”

“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.”
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. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and now have a 5 year old Goldendoodle, my lil Shorkie passed at 18 years old. Pets are family to me and I can assure you that they will be in good hands, safe, & loved on. I only work part-time so I have lots of time available to love on your pups, let them out, and take them on walks. I also love taking pictures, so you’ll get plenty during your booking. 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: 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.

Kaydin L.
“Kaydin is reliable, responsible , dependable and caring when it comes to watching my two dogs. I’m not trustworthy of many people but I truly know my dogs are in good hands and getting lots of love when she is watching them. Both of my dogs are high energy and need a lot of attention. One of my dogs has a lot of fear issues, and takes awhile to warm up to people. Kaydin took the time to get to know my fearful dog and I truly think both of my dogs are under the impression that she is family now. If she can work with my high energy dogs she can handle anything!”
