“You can’t go wrong with Jeanne. Very caring, attentive to details, great communication. Our dog has been with them many times - and will come back many times more.”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”
“Larisa was wonderful! My dog Jonah stayed one night and she was his new mom, haha. He loves her and adored her little dogs, they were fast friends. This was Jonah's first time away from home and I was worried about him but he seemed to bond with Larisa and that made me so happy. I will feel very confident leaving him for an extended stay at the end of the month.”
“We really appreciated Kumar agreeing to take on Baxter last minute after our previous plan fell through! He sent photo updates to let us know how our little guy was doing. Drop off and pickup was easy!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sage, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience giving pills, shots, and other medications, as well as caring for both senior cats who need a little extra patience and love, and playful kittens and puppies. I’ve also helped with potty training for puppies and understand the unique attention that both young and elderly pets require. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, comfort, and kindness to your pets as I do my own. I have evenings open to love on your pets! If you have a busy night planned or a late night at work, leave your pet in my hands! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. As a sitter, I provide respectful, reliable care that follows your pet’s normal routine, from feeding and playtime to medications and cuddles. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or needs special attention, I treat them with patience and love—just like my own two cats. I know my way around Mount Pleasant trails and parks when your pet needs to get some energy out!
“Jessica cared for Boone during his first stay away from home, and he came home happy, healthy, and very tired. :) Her daily updates were thorough, and she provided him with lots of TLC, snuggles, and enrichment activities to keep him busy and feeling loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her!”
“Amazing!!!!!! She is by far such an amazing person very gentle and kind with animals. She took care of my little girl Dede as if it was her own. I will definitely rebook with Erin. I drove from Saginaw to drop my Dede and would drive further if I had to Erin is amazing so is her family!”
“Matt is just AWESOME! This was the first time I used him and will not hesitate to have him watch my dog again! You can tell he really cares. My dog was treated so well and was so happy I don’t think he really wanted to come home. Absolute 5 stars!”
“Our pup was thrilled to return to Todd's and made herself right at home. It feels good knowing she is in good hands and I don't have to worry about her while we are away! Thank you, Todd, for another great boarding experience!”
“Jennifer and her family are fantastic! So happy, kind and take wonderful care of my senior dog. Jennifer’s communication is excellent! I received updates and pictures daily. My dog felt right at home and lives her best life at Jennifer’s house. Thank you! :)”
“Kathy took such good care of our baby and, even tho it was a short stay, she kept us informed & sent pictures which were much appreciated. Sophie is spoiled & not used to being away from us & I think Kathy is the perfect person to help her adjust. I hope she’ll be willing to take our Sophie again if the need arises.”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Brittany was fantastic!! We were super nervous about leaving our 1.5 year old German Shepherd with a stranger but as soon as we arrive our minds were put at ease. Without a doubt she loves animals and even fosters rescues. Raven had a blast and even made a few new kitty cat friends! We will definitely be back. Thank you Brittany for taking such good care of our family member <3”

Maureen was awesome! She updated us on Bella and sent photos. Bella seemed so happy when we picked her up, and I don't think she wanted to leave! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Bella was so cared for. We will always use Maureen if she is available. We cannot recommend her enough!
