“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!!!”
About: I had my sweet dog Tinkerbell for 18 years & I’m not quite ready for another pup for myself so I absolute love spending time with other wonderful peoples pets! I have 2 cats- Winifred & Luna so I am familiar with cat care. I am experienced with senior pet care. I also worked in a veterinary hospital for a couple of years so I am familiar with lots of different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, rats & more! I also have some experience with health sensitive and geriatric pets. I can administer medications & am familiar with prescription diets. I work full time Monday through Friday but I do have an hour lunch break where I can stop by and let animals out and feed them if needed. When I am not at work, I am available to be at your home as much as you would like me there. I frequently stay in peoples homes with their pets. I am off work on weekends so I can dedicate the entire weekend to your furry babies. I do not usually watch animals in my own home, other than cats who are not outdoor cats & are experienced & good with other cats, since I have two of my own. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, as it lessens the stress for the animal (and my cats! haha)
“Thank you so much for ALL you do for my fur babies !!! Times have been tough so being able to rely on a dog walker had previously seemed like an impossiblity until we found you !!! Thank you sm sm sm !!!”
“Katie was lovely! Very kind and easygoing with my hyper dog, had no complaints about his lack of personal space ? Very communicative and beyond helpful, would absolutely book again!”
“Natalie did an excellent job of caring for my dogs while I was on vacation. She did a meet and greet prior to starting which was super helpful for giving instructions and showing her around. Both of my dogs were super happy when I got back and everything was in order upon my return :)”
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: 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’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!
“Paige is awesome! She was very attentive to my kitty while ai was gone. She sent lots of pictures and ensured my cat had her essentials and favorite things! I will absolutely book with Paige again!💕”
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.
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: I’ve cared for a variety of animals, including four guinea pigs, three cats, and a dog. I have experience caring for animals from 7 weeks of age to senior status. I have medical animal training, such as CPR, subcutaneous fluid administration, and injectable/oral medication administration, among other skills. With nursing school and another part-time position, my availability is limited for boarding and sitting but I’m available most days for walking and drop-in visits. I care for pets of all ages and walks of life. Nothing is more important to me than your pets’ safety and well-being when they’re with me.
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: 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: 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.

Elizabeth N.Star Sitter
“I had Lizzie watch my charles spaniel for a week while I was in Greece. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets; she always does a great job.”
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.”
Sarah S.
“Sarah is an absolute animal lover! She has pets of her own and they are very well cared for and loved. Sarah is very responsible and will take great care of your 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!”
