“Jessica was wonderful to work with! She dropped in multiple times to check on and feed our cats while we were gone. She sent multiple photos, which we greatly appreciated. She was kind during the meet-and-greet, asked questions, and made us feel very comfortable that we were leaving our pets in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
“Janelle was an amazing sitter for my kitties! She was extremely communicative and wanted to make sure she was doing everything as best as she could. She gave my babies love and always made sure their space was clean! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”
“Jen was great and cared for our three very senior kitties like they were her own! Was very observant and sent me updates each day, then left detailed notes for us when we returned. Cats this age (18) require a careful eye and we were very reassured that she was watching them. SO glad to have found Jen!”
“Paige faithfully and responsibly did everything I asked her to do! And with 3 cats and 3 litter boxes to tend to that’s a lot!! Importantly she nurtured and tended to my 19 year old diabetic cat and that meant the world to me. Paige was communicative and responsive and I felt calm leaving my animals in her care.”
“Natalie was fantastic! Worked with us on short notice and took the time to stop by before our trip to meet the cats and get the lay of the land. She was flexible, communicative, and sent some great photos. 10/10, would hire again!”
About: Animal care is my passion! From years of dogsitting to working in a veterinary hospital, I have the personal and professional experience to give your pets the best care and make sure my clients feel super comfortable leaving their pets with me! I can pet sit all week and dog walk on weekends and weekday evenings after work. I do work ~35 hours a week and will always be communicative about my schedule with my clients! I am very accomodating to all households regarding how to care for the pets. I will always make sure the pets are getting the attention and care needed like treats, bones, walks, etc. Lastly, I always leave clients' homes clean and tidy!
About: I have 30+ years of pet sitting experience in homes and shelters and am Fear Free trained and certified. Will provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets including exercise, enrichment, and walks, along with lots of cuddles. My sole job is pet sitting, so I am able to care for many pet families throughout the day. Of course, I am only able to schedule one overnight stay per day. Please contact me ASAP for my availability. I can do overnight stays in a pets home so that they feel more comfortable with the sit. I do have other pet sits throughout the day, but rest assured that I will be available for your pet throughout the day.
About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my family’s dogs (2–3 at a time) for over 8 years. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for multi-dog households in my community, earning excellent reviews from happy pet parents! I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 p.m., and I’m completely free and flexible on weekends to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of loving pets and snuggles to keep your furry friends happy and cared for!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few animals on multiple occasions. I can sit for cats and dogs at the same time. I love playing with animals and treat them like my own. I am full time college student but would be able to accommodate most pet sittings. I have a car and would easily be able to house sit! I spend lots of time with the animals I take care of. I can walk them, bathe them, play with them, and more! I have a pup of my own who is very loved. I also can do small household tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, watering plants, and getting the mail.
“Kinzey, was wonderful and took such great care of my cat Pumpkin. She was sweet to come and meet pumpkin with me before my trip and she was kind enough to water my plants why I was away. She gave sweet detailed reports about each visit and photos to make me miss my baby a little less. Will definitely book again for my next trip.”
About: Hello! I have a large fenced yard in Little Lake that gives me the opportunity to board dogs that need space to run and exercise, and I have extra space inside my home that allows dogs who also enjoy their space/alone time. I’d love to offer boarding or daycare to anyone who needs extra support for their animals. I’m in Marquette County and can get around quickly so hit me up ! 😎 I also will meet halfway for anyone who cant make the full drive out. Just let me know how I can best support you! I work during the day but have lots of flexibility after work and on the weekends. My current schedule is M-T 8-4 with F-Sun completely off. Animals are sensitive and it’s important to stick to their routine if they have one, which includes respecting food brand, time of day to eat and walks. This consideration also helps me build trust with your animals!
About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Three years ago I adopted my dog Cedar from a shelter in Wisconsin. He has taught me so much about love, patience, and acceptance. As a reactive dog owner I understand how scary it can be to have other people care for your animal. I always use positive reinforcement techniques and have experience with training. I love animals of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I own a small business so my schedule is usually very flexible. I am available almost every day after noon. I tend to stay up late, so I can be available in the evenings if needed. I'll treat your dog like I treat my own! I use positive reinforcement. I am very gentle and patient. I love teaching dogs different tricks, or if playing fetch is more their speed that's fine too!
About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility! We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.
About: My pets are my family. I currently own two horses three dogs and board a horse that gets treated like my own. I’ve had dogs, my whole life and horses since I was 12. I live on 40 acres a feel my pets are living their best life. They are treated like family and always make my days better. If you were to trust me with your pets, they would be treated like family as well. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. Happy Tails. I am currently working 4 days a week but want to retire from dental hygiene. I looking to see what kind of interest there is for this service in my area. I have a fenced in area connected to a heated garage if I were watch your pet at my home. How they re-acted to my dogs would determine if they stayed in my home.

Kendra S.
“I have a reactive (due to trauma) pit bull who makes a terrible first impression to the point where people cross the street when we are walking. She is so scared of new situations and other dogs, she becomes highly reactive to the point where most people avoid her. She has separation anxiety and takes medication to help, but new people, dogs, and environments are just tough for this dog. I can't trust just anyone to care for her or walk her. Kendra's energy made an immediate positive impact on my dog and I would trust her with any dog or cat. She's compassionate, thoughtful, and detail oriented. You couldn't wish for a better pet care professional than Kendra. My only advice is get on her calendar now because it fills up quickly! Kendra has cared for pets her whole life and brings years of experience and knowledge. She's my number 1 go-to for my dog.”
Candia C.
“I’ve been friends with Candia for over 10 years now. We met through the horse world. We travel for horse shows most wkds in the summer. We spend a lot of time together in tight quarters and in high stress situations. Shes always a “one step ahead” kind of person. She’s also cared for my horse at her stable for 5 years now, and I’d trust her with his life. She is looking to retire from her career as a dental hygienist, and working with animals would be the perfect position for her! She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsible. Her dogs are her family, and have lived the absolute best life and always have the best care. She is also very down to earth and easy to talk to, so I think everyone would feel comfortable having her care for their pets. She would love to take care of pets, and I know pets love her, so working with Rover would be a perfect fit!”
