“Pippa really seems to enjoy her time with Jeanne and her family. Pippa always approaches the house with enthusiasm, even when we pass by on our walks. Jeanne has become my go-to person for Pippa’s day time and overnight care.”


2. Erin L.

“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”




3. Edward M.

“This was my first experience with doggy day care, and Ed made it so easy! To say I was apprehensive of dropping my new little fellow off would be putting it mildly. Ed was great with communication, and Pete did just fine! We'll be back, soon!!”


4. Kathy Y.

“She is very nice, easy to communicate with and very hospitable. Her home is very nice n clean. Her dog Carrie is also nice, she and my dog Winter got along well.”


5. larisa p.

“What a gem! I was VERY nervous leaving him as he’s quite old and currently needs his activity curtailed due to back problems. She kept in frequent contact and sent many pics. I would highly recommend!”


6. Jennifer P.

“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”


7. Jason L.
“My friend and I booked with Jason to hit up the Dunes and do some wine tasting for the day. Jason was so kind and considerate. He’s a great communicator and took the time to get to know our dogs, their routines and took them on several walks while we we’re gone. He did a wonderful job at keeping us updated throughout the day with photos too. I highly recommend him for any dog-sitting needs you have in Traverse City!”




8. William M.
“Bill has always had a dog as a part of his family since I have known him. His dog provides him with inspiration either sitting with him by the fire as he does his freelance writing or accompanying him on his jogs. His current dog Monte is a rescue dog who loves people and is a real cuddler.”


9. Isaac S.

“Isaac was very patient with Maggie, even though she is fearful of everything because of her start in life. It was a good socialization experience for us.”


10. Elizabeth G.

“Elizabeth is beyond qualified to watch anyone's dog. I loved watching her with my dog. She has a ton of experience with both big and little dogs. I have personally seen how she treats not just dogs but all animals. I would not hesitate to call her for a dog sitter.”


11. Christin H.

“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”


12. Madison S.

“Madison did a fabulous job. She took Bailey on walks and he was well loved.”


13. Erica H.

“Erica is fantastic! She was an absolute life saver for my partner and I when it came to allowing us to take vacations. Not only did Erica update us with photos of our cats, and actually took the time to even play with one of them, but she fed our bearded dragon and cared for him as well. Not many people are able to pick up on the complex instructions of caring for a bearded dragon easily, but she absolutely did. She stopped in multiple times to feed our cats, feed our bearded dragon, and even turn on and off his lights at the correct times. Erica even made sure to feed our bearded dragon the perfect amount with the perfect mixtures and took care in all of the details of it. We absolutely recommend her for everything thanks to her strong attention to detail and genuine love for pets.”


14. Tina R.

“She does a outstanding job. She is caring and our dog loves her.”


15. Madeline F.
“Madeline has always been enamored with animals. She has had pets her entire life. She tends to her animals with tender, loving care. She’s had birds, fish, cats, a bunny rabbit, dogs, and treats them well. At one point, Madeline wanted to be a veterinarian. I’m not sure if that will happen, but I do know that animals will always be a part of Madeline’s life.”


16. Jennifer B.
“Jen was wonderful to work with, she fixed my service dog in training right up. We decided to do a 3 week board and train with her for more intensive training to finish off his public access training and get him more consistent in some of his tasks. When he came back, we realized we got a lot more training than we paid for. His manners improved, he was alot more confident in public, he was just a lot more solid. We're getting a puppy in the next year and we're looking forward to getting it well started in her puppy bootcamp program.”


17. Laura W.

“Laura was so kind and we are grateful for her taking Ryder last minute. She was great with communication and pictures.”


18. Amanda B.
“I have known Amanda for around 7 years. She is an honest, caring, and loyal friend! I would trust her with anything. She is he kind of person who would help out anyone if able! She has a great personality and is one of my favorite people ❤”


19. Tara B.
“Tara has two dogs of her own. One mini Schnauzers and a rescue Chiwawa. She is patient and kind toward animals. Her dogs are part of her family along with her three teenage children. Dogs are a big part of her life and she is looking forward to meeting your dogs for a walk.”
