“Was very pleased with Deborah. Dogs were happy and well fed. Will hire again”

“Katelyn was great while watching our dog over our long vacation- Great communication, along with some pictures of our pup! Katelyn even stayed an additional night for us when we ran into some car trouble and wouldn’t be home when planned. Thanks Katelyn!”

“Erika was absolutely amazing with my dogs. I was very concerned because I have a German Shepherd that is very skittish and scared of everything still a baby. She met him in advance and did great with him. She kept me updated and send me photos and I would definitely recommend Erika and use her again in the future. She even brought her vacuum over to clean up my dog hair! How awesome is that. When she came back to get her vacuum the dogs went nuts over her. I hope to see her again in the future. Sincerely, Stacey Blue”

“She did a fantastic job! Look forward to her services in the future.”

“Jared is great!!! He came to watch our pets for a hours today for a test run before our vacation next week and they all loved him. I know they will be in good hands when we are away!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we loved it. Kari did an amazing job and went above and beyond for our pet. We will definitely be using Kari again in the future.”

About: Hello! I am experienced pet over who has cared for dogs for over 10 years. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, alongside both high energy and low energy pets. I am able to administer both oral and topical medications. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet while you're away and always ensure to take photos/videos for updates and give them all the attention they wish for. I am further experienced as a dog walker and day sitting while you're away at work. If an at home stay was needed, I do have a cat at home who would be in a different area of the house entirely away from any dogs and they would not interact. I am currently not working so have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I have the most availability during the week, alongside some weekends. Within a client's home, I am happy to accommodate any preferred set up for maximum comfort for your pet. I am experienced with dog walking, providing oral or topical medication to pets, as well as in multi-pet households.

“Beth is a true gem! She is a kind and warm person who loves all fur babies! She has been very supportive of our family when we were out of town and willing to do more that asked and loves to walk and play with our Westie! Always reliable and trustworthy! You can’t ask for a nicer person!”

“Jay was amazing and our girls loved him. We came in for a wedding and weren’t prepared and running behind but Jay made the day for our girls. Highly recommend.”

“Kasaundra was fantastic. Very easy to work with and was such a relief helping watch my mother's elderly dog. Riley was sad to see her leave the last time! Definitely will rebook. I can't say enough about how great her services are!”

“Shiela was awesome with our dogs and cat. She is trustworthy and reliable. We came home to a happy crew, and will definitely reach out to Shiela for help with our fur babies in the future.”

“Joye was wonderful w/ Buck! Super attentive to his needs since he is still potty and crate training. Definitely recommend her!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kari, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals, I’ve always felt a natural connection to them. I currently have three dogs of my own— a 9-year-old female American Pit Bull Terrier, a 5-year-old male American Pit Bull Terrier, and a 4-year-old male German Shepherd/Boxer mix. While I’m relatively new to professional pet sitting, I have years of experience caring for my own pets and have also helped friends and family with dog and/ or cat sitting, walking, and playtime. I’m a recent graduate of Central Michigan University and now teach 8th and 9th grade English at Manistee Area Public Schools. I’m committed to both my career and to providing the best care for pets. Through my experience with my own dogs, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to manage different personalities and behavioral needs. For instance, my youngest dog developed anxiety and reactivity at around 1.5 years old, which has required daily medication and thoughtful management of his interactions with my other dogs. While it’s been challenging, it has helped me learn how to create a safe and structured environment for animals with unique needs. In addition to my dogs, I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, including four hens and a rooster, which has further expanded my knowledge of animal care. Though I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I am a quick learner and dedicated to building my skills and providing loving, reliable care for your pets. I understand that each animal is unique, and I’m eager to build lasting relationships with pets and owners alike. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, medication management, or just some quality attention, I’m here to provide the best care possible while you’re away. I work as a full-time English teacher, with my workday running from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Outside of these hours, I’m flexible and available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, and other services. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend requests. Located in Bear Lake, MI, I’m willing to travel within the surrounding areas to care for your pets. Whether you need early morning walks, evening visits, or weekend care, I can tailor my schedule to meet your needs. Please feel free to reach out to discuss specific times and arrangements! When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure they are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where they have plenty of space to roam and play. My dogs, like my clients’ pets, receive regular exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. I’m mindful of their individual personalities and energy levels, which allows me to adjust care accordingly—whether it’s a calm day of cuddles or a more energetic session of playtime. For pets in their own homes, I focus on maintaining their usual routines to minimize stress. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, whether it's feeding schedules, medication needs, or exercise requirements. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel comfortable when their owners are away. I make sure to provide companionship, keep the environment safe, and give them the attention they need. Whether it's daily walks, administering medication, or just offering plenty of affection, I treat each pet with the same care and dedication I give to my own animals. I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels happy, secure, and loved, whether they are in my home or yours.

“I was pleased with Mckenna all around. Always on time. You can tell she really cares about what she does and loves animals. My dog really takes to her like they have known each other for a long time. I would definitely be comfortable to refer her to anyone.”

“Diego is great with my dog! My dog enjoys getting to meet new people and places! Diego does an excellent job with him! Thank you Diego!”

About: I have experience in taking care of pets both personally and professionally. I have helped raise our family dog into her senior years which has involved administering medications 4 times a day. I have also taken care of family members’ puppies. More recently, I worked as a professional pet care specialist for a company which involved taking care of a variety of dogs ranging in age, size and breed. I am open for pet care on the weekends and possibly in the evenings on weekdays. I will be able to work most holidays as well! I am dedicated to providing safe care for your pets! I currently do not provide in-home care at my home, but I can do care in your home! I always make sure to be attentive during visits. I can provide lots of cuddles and enrichment or I can give your pet some space, it all depends on your fur babies’ needs.

“I would completely trust Annie with the care of my dogs at any point in time. Annie watched one of my dogs overnight and it was such a relief knowing he was being well taken care of while I was away. Annie is kind, patient, and a wonderful caregiver in general and that much more with pets. She is trustworthy and dedicated, and will take just as good of care of your pets as if they were her own!”

About: I have taken care of many different animals in my life. Horses, cats, guniea pigs, rats, gerbils, dogs, rabbits, lizards and snakes. I love them all. I have done all different types of animal care and want to help others out when I am able. I can take of horses, cows, goats, dogs, cats, lizards and more. Just let me know! Pricing would vary with different animals that are larger than a dog, and smaller than a cat. :) I work full time. An 8 to 5 job. I am able to help out on the weekends when I have nothing going on, after work for drop ins or I can even house sit for you too. Just need a weeks notice. 😊 I care for them with love and care. I will listen close to your instructions and make sure they are taken care of as though you were home.
