“Colson seemed happy and had plenty of playmates. Amanda was a responsible pet sitter and boarder. He was boarded for two weeks while we were on vacation. Amanda was able to deal with Colson’s barking in an appropriate way. So far at home, his barking is not as big of a problem, although he’s awfully tired, too! We would use Amanda again!”
“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the outstanding care Coryn and Kyle provided for my two dogs. They handled everything perfectly, from reliably administering medications to ensuring they got plenty of walks. What truly gave me peace of mind was their amazing communication; they kept me completely in the loop the entire time with frequent photos and video updates. It is clear they treated my pups like family, and they come highly recommended by myself for anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“This was Mayas first time staying at someone’s house besides our family. They were super responsive and sent pictures of Maya while we were away. Bailey seemed like she had a great system for getting Maya comfortable when she first arrived. Also, they have an awesome fence that gave us such peace of mind. Maya was in great hands! We would totally book with them again in the future.”
“Briana is definitely comfortable taking care of dogs. This was the first time ever to leave my puppy with a "stranger" and other dogs. My energetic puppy instantly warmed up to Briana's small dog and Briana was so calm and helped my puppy quickly become comfortable with her bigger dog. My puppy had SO MUCH FUN at Briana's with her fun dogs and huge backyard (an Australian Shepherd's dream yard). I was and would be totally comfortable leaving my baby at her home!”
“Laura let me book last minute and has been so flexible with my unpredictable work schedule — I truly appreciate her! She does a great job making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home, and she reassures me with updates throughout the day, which means a lot. I honestly think my dog gets triple the attention and exercise when she’s boarded with Laura. Jersey always comes home super tired and content! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“At this point, I am worried our puppy loves Elaine more than us. Upon arrival, he ran inside her house without looking back. We couldn't even say goodbye because he was very excited to be there. We are happy that he loves being there, spending time with Elaine and her family.”
“Mack had a great time with April and her family. Pictures were sent each day that put smiles on our faces. Mack totally enjoyed his new canine friends, Ginger and Piper and is looking forward to a return visit. We will definitely be using April again! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great place for their furry friend.”
“Frieda was a happy girl when she came home. She seemed to have enjoyed her stay. Anna was flexible and worked with Frieda's need to be with people. We appreciate Anna's ability to accommodate Frieda's needs. Would love to use Anna again.”
“Erin was very nice, professional and easy to get a hold of. My boy Opie can be quite a handful and Erin did a great job with him. I could tell he got plenty of exercise and play time as he slept for two days straight when he got home! Thanks again, Erin! We’ll be back!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“I am very thankful for Tanuja for taking my Lucy on a last minute request to board. She was so flexible and very accomodating and it was a very pleasant dealing with her. On the day of boarding she will give constant updates, she will send plenty of pictures (great pics of Lucy together with their cute dog Mochi). Her husband Kumar helps her out with the doggies and they treat your dog like their own. They are not only great dog sitters but also really nice persons. I will definitely have them take care of my Lucy if the need arises . I would highly recommend Tanuja and Kumar (plus Mochi) to take care of your fur baby.”
“Tetyana is the best of the best! She goes above and beyond each time to love on my dog and make sure he feels safe and relaxed. She sends pictures and tells us about his day, which makes leaving him a little easier.”
“Alexis is wonderful with our dog and I feel like it’s almost camp for our Willow… she gets to play and swim and have sleepovers with other pups! Thank you Alexis for all you do to make us feel ok with leaving our dog with you!!😊🐾🐾💕”
“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”
“Brady had a great time with Aaron and family, who were able to accommodate us on short notice. Would definitely have them sit for Brady next time we go out of town. Good communication from Aaron with a lot of pictures.”
“We had another great experience with Alia, Ian and family. They took amazing care of my dog Cleo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such a loving, safe environment. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but they made it so much easier. I’m so grateful and will continue using them in the future!”

Miranda and Erica looked after our Molly for two weeks. We really appreciated their communication with pictures and videos every day. We had originally booked a commercial boarding site but am so happy we found Miranda and Erica so Molly got personal attention. We've already signed Molly up for her next visit!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pontiac home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pontiac.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Pontiac sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
