“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”

“Robert was absolutely amazing! Max can be a difficult dog for others to deal with. From asking questions prior to booking until we picked up Max the last day, Robert was so nice and easy to communicate with. Robert sent pictures and updates frequently while we were on vacation which gave us comfort knowing Max was being well taken care of and cared for. I’d definitely rebook with Robert again!!”

“We were pretty nervous about leaving our little dog because she means so much to us, but Pattie took AMAZING care of her! From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in a loving, safe, and comfortable home. Pattie kept us updated, was so thoughtful, and treated our pup like family. The sweetest moment was when our dog heard our voices and lit up—clearly she felt happy and secure the entire time! We are beyond grateful and would absolutely trust Pattie again. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, she’s the one! 💗”
“Our wonderful adorable crazy dog had a blast with Kimberly's dogs. She is going to be so disappointed to return home and be the only dog in our household now. Vacation for us was definitely vacation for our crazy dog also. Definitely five stars.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including my own shih tzu who was with me for 16 wonderful years. Working with the Michigan Humane Society’s Dog Day Getaway taught me how to handle pups of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I specialize in gentle senior care, patient puppy training, and making every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s slow walks for seniors or playful zoomies for puppies, I meet every dog where they’re happiest. I work from home, so I’m around all day and love having pets as part of my routine. My schedule is steady but flexible, which means I can easily adjust to each pet’s needs. I like starting the day with a walk or some playtime and taking plenty of breaks for cuddles, outdoor time, or just keeping a pup company. Caring for animals fits naturally into my life, it’s something I truly enjoy. When I’m caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding schedule, favorite walking route, or bedtime routine. I keep communication open with pet parents and send plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“Jordan was great with my dachshund. I did not ask for photos or updates, but when I did inquire, she was quick to respond and send me a picture that showed how calm and content my dog was. My dog is spoiled with a couple of bad habits and she seemed to have no issues taking care of him. I recommend Jordan and will use again if needed.”
