“Didn’t actually have her come but backed out too late so paid anyway. She did show up to our meeting of my dogs. Her and her daughter were both very nice. Cheyenne also met me in her own time to return my house key. No complaints.”


2. Amy N.

“Amy was easy to work with and super professional. I was super happy with the care she took with the house and pets. Will definitely use her again!”


3. Jessica S.
“You could not go wrong choosing Jess to help care for your sweet pets! She loves going for walks with dogs and makes sure they are safe and happy the entire time. My sweet Lucy could walk for hours. Jess never hesitated taking the long way to Lucy’s favorite tree or a detour to the lake for a quick drink and a little rest. I highly recommend Jessica because she truly cares about every pet she meets as soon as they lock eyes. She will go above and beyond to ensure you and your four legged kiddo are happy after each visit!”


4. Bernice D.
“Hello! I have known Bernice quite literally her whole life, and have always known her to be a pet lover. Her whole family, actually. They have dogs and guinea pigs, a rabbit, a hamster, snakes, lizards, big ole fish, and sugar gliders! Whenever I go out of town for extended periods I leave my pet rats with Bernice, and I don't have to think about their safety or care whatsoever when they are with her. They always come back to me happy and healthy! She is loving, kind, understanding, patient, driven, with not only animals but people as well. I don't think you'd be able to find a better person to help care for pets! I incredibly highly recommend her and have 100% trust and faith in her to take care of these pets as if they were her own.”




5. Heather W.

“Heather was AMAZING!! She sent us tons of pictures, communicated very quickly and most importantly the dogs were very happy when we arrived back home. We loved having Heather at our house and we loved returning to well taken care of pups.”


6. Michelle P.

“Michelle spoiled our pups and I felt very reassured that she wouldn’t leave them alone for hours on end! It’s tough to find good, reliable sitters like Michelle!”


7. Stephanie & Scott L.

“Stephanie and Scott took care of our dogs like they were their own. They had so much fun and were totally relaxed when we came home. We appreciated feeling totally trusting and at ease being away from our pups so much!”


8. Katherine W.

“Katherine was a fabulous dog and house sitter! She arrived on time, she made sure to understand my puppy's routine and needs, and she sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My house was clean and my puppy loved her! I was able to completely relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew Katherine was taking care of Gigi. I will definitely hire again!”




9. Erin D.

“Erin took care of our 3 large dogs for two days. She ensured that both dogs that needed medication got the doses on time and she kept us updated multik a times with pictures. The dogs were calm and comfortable with Erin. She was prompt. Highly recommended.”


10. shannon m.
“Shannon is incredible! She is super patient with our pup, who needs an extra minute to greet people. She also is great at keeping him entertained with good play for his rambunctious personality and gives him lots of exercise. She's very flexible with our schedule, trustworthy in our home, and always goes the extra mile. Sometimes I think our pup likes her more than us! I cannot recommend her enough!”


11. Tamara O.
“We have 2 fur babies that we spoil rotten. We moved to Traverse City three years ago and met Tamara. We were blessed to find someone that cares for our pets in a manner that allows us to be away from our home for days and not worry about them. Tamara has a unique love for pets, and we are so grateful for her service. We almost hate to share her. 😊”


12. Maureen B.

“Maureen did a wonderful job with our Newfie and Goldendoodle! They went for many walks and gots lots of cuddles. She also left the house spotless. She is very conscientious, personable and trustworthy. Will definitely use her in the future”


13. Arianna W.
“I am very grateful for Arrianna services. I have a year and a half American pitbull named archer. She takes her job very seriously she is punctual, professional, polite, flexible, and always has the best interest in mind for my dog and working with me as well. I trust her, she’s very detail oriented, my dog has created a bond with her or maybe it’s all the treats he gets. Haha but I know he is safe when she is taking care of him and that’s all that matter. I highly recommend her if you don’t believe me just give her a call and find out for yourself.”
