About: I am available for dog walking or drop in visits over Labor day weekend. I took care of my childhood animals since I was 10. As a teenager a would walk the neighbors dogs and care for their cats and dogs while they went on vacation. As an adult I have had many dogs and cats and a hermit crab called Spidey. I have cared for Animals from puppy/kittyhood to geriatric age. I am retired and when you book me for a house sitting know that I will stay with your fur baby from the time you leave until the time you return.I have been with some animals as pass over the rainbow bridge and have comforted the fur parent. I have administered medicine including insulin to animals. Having a nursing background helps with giving meds. I am a retired RN. I am reliable and caring. Your dogs will have plenty of play time ,nice walks and lots of cuddles. If your cat is anything like mine they will let you know when they are done playing I have a large fenced in yard. Simara enjoys running and playing keep away with her orange football. Obi likes to walk the perimeter. If the owner does not have a yard I will bring the dog to my house to run the fenced yard. I keep my dogs inside just incase my clients animal dose not do well with other animals. In the summer I fill up the baby pool and the dogs romp around in it to cool off

About: I have a very flexible schedule and love any and all animal types. I will ensure safety and fun for your fur baby while you are away. I am currently working part time leaving my schedule available for pet care more open than some. I have a very flexible schedule to fit what you need best. I love to go on walks, hikes, and to parks. I do have a dog myself who loves others, I can provide a play date if wanted :)

About: I have been around dogs for my whole life. I enjoy their company and I believe they enjoy mine too. I connect very well with animals. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pups, especially in the afternoon. I am available various times depending on the day! I am very gentle and loving with all kinds of pets. I am mindful of their surroundings. I tend to watch the pets I care for very carefully to make sure they are not getting into anything. I also have experience with reactive dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 8 years now. I have experience with all kinds of animals including fish, turtles, snakes, rabbits, ferrets, rats, birds, cats and dogs! I love animals of all shapes and size and would be happy to take care of your babies when you need me. I am available everyday and if for some reason I can’t, my husband can always help out. We have a big Great Dane/Heeler mix 70 lb pup, and a few cats. We are animal lovers :) I work part time and rotate schedules with my fiancé so if I can’t make it, he can. We are almost always available for you. I unfortunately can not take dogs into my home, my dog was in an abusive home prior to us and is dog aggressive. I am more than happy to come to you and am always respectful of my clients space.

About: Hey there! I'm a college student with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as domestic cats and even wild ones🐆 I've raised dogs myself (including my own husky) and also worked with animals through school, jobs, and volunteer roles. Whether it's a big floof, a tiny gremlin, or a spicy feline, I've got the patience, knowledge, and love to care for them like my own. Because I'm balancing two jobs and classes, I'm best for one-off help, like drop ins or quick walks. Especially on evenings and weekends. Im relieve, communicative, and always down to send pupdates or silly pet pics! Currently a full time college student with full course load and 2 jobs. I conveniently live right in East Lansing though and have my own car so can squeeze drop in and walks here and there. I am respectful towards others property and will only utilize equipment (cages, leashes, muzzles, etc.) with permission of the animals owner and only when necessary.

“Caitlynn was wonderful with Einstein. Einstein is not much of a “go for a walk dog” when he is near home but loves to play. She played with him for an hour and he was very well cared for and happy. Thank you for spending time with my little boy as we were moving into our new place.”

“Teri was awesome! Her services were very helpful and she took great care of my pup. I couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking to trust someone with their animals. She is very genuine and down to earth. I knew right away that I could count on her!”

“Zakariea does a fantastic job with Lizzie (who is not always easy). She is very professional and thoughtful. We are grateful to have her as part of our support system.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From playful puppies to calm senior dogs, I know how to make each pup feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m confident with daily walks, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, administering medications, and, of course, giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime. Whether your dog loves long walks, interactive games, or just relaxing company, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and always aim to make them feel right at home. As a cat owner and former dog parent, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I’m well-versed in feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure my cat feels loved and comfortable. Having had a dog in the past, I also understand the importance of regular walks, exercise, and attention for pets. Adding pet sitting or dog walking fits seamlessly into my day — whether it’s stopping by for a visit, going on a walk, or spending quality time with animals. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When I care for your pets, I treat your home with the same respect and attention as I would my own. I ensure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s providing a familiar routine, giving them lots of attention, or offering playtime and cuddles, I adjust my care to suit their individual needs. I’m committed to maintaining your home by following any specific instructions you provide, keeping things tidy, and making sure everything stays just as you left it. Your pets will receive the same care and affection as my own, and your home will be in good hands while you’re gone.

“Colleen has been an absolute joy to have watch our new puppy! She is punctual, respectful, loving and kind to our little one. She is always finding him new ways to enjoy the world when we can’t be there because of work. She definitely is more than just a dog walker, she cares about him being a good puppy and about his enrichment. It’s nice knowing that my baby is being taken care of by Colleen. Highly recommend, she’s awesome!”

About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 2 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 4 year old lab, a female 1 year old golden, and a male chocolate lab puppy who came home with us at the end of June. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing tailored care for pets of all ages. My services include training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques, administering medication, and offering attentive senior pet care. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my reliable and flexible service, and my commitment to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize morning and evening walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate special needs or additional visits, making sure every pet is comfortable and well-cared for throughout the day.

I follow detailed care instructions, provide regular updates to the owner, and ensure a secure environment, whether it's daily visits or overnight stays
