About: I am a Marquette native who just returned home after years of adventures and experiences with animals in other places. I have over 20 years experience in the animal medical field, primarily in emergency and surgery and over 3 years with animal poison control. I also recently became a certified dog trainer, using positive reinforcement. Your animals will be in qualified and caring hands with me. I currently have wide open availability as my main focuses right now include caring for a family member in a nursing home and maintaining my busy household, which includes my special needs pets. With my extensive experience, you can feel at ease knowing I am very knowledgeable about animals and their needs. I know what to do if there is a problem and stay calm in emergencies.
“Jayson was very quick with communication, easy to work with and I get confident in his services. We were in the area on vacation and he came to our campground and walked our 3 dogs while we were out doing tourist stuff. I would certainly recommend him!”
About: I can’t wait to meet your pet family! With 5 years of previous experience working in veterinary medicine and more than three decades of pet caretaking/ownership, I offer worry-free skilled and routine pet caretaking services in your home. I have a background in fear-free techniques that help me to understand and work with fearful and high-anxiety pets. I am currently employed at a veterinary referral/emergency hospital; my schedule is variable and allows me to pet sit around my shifts. *I carry a pet first aid kit at all times.* My clinical background as a veterinary assistant/receptionist includes animal handling and restraint, administering medications and injections (such as insulin and fluids), caring for hospitalized patients and providing treatments, assisting doctors with diagnostics, and educating/communicating with clients. My professional experience in both traditional and exotic veterinary practices translates to exceptional care for all species of companion animals. I am comfortable managing a wide range of medical conditions and administering medications, so you can feel confident about leaving your pet in compassionate, skillful hands. I was dubbed the “chihuahua whisperer” at work—a true badge of honor! As a dog-mom, I truly enjoy caring for animals. My pet family includes a special-needs tripod Boxer, Raegan, for whom I had a prosthetic leg designed, and a long-coated Chihuahua, Joie. My affinity for companion animals began early on. As a child, I would bring home stray dogs and cats, and I kept exotic pets including rabbits, hermit crabs, hamsters, mice, lizards, frogs, and fish. During high school, I received academic credit for interning at a veterinary clinic. As a Northern Michigan native, I had the opportunity to work with multiple sled dog teams, which proved to be very enlightening experiences! The most interesting animal-caretaking experience I have had is providing critical care to a newborn alpaca named Mittens and helping the farm owner tube-feed this special-needs baby while she was out of town (he was eventually able to stand on his own and nurse!). A major component of pet caretaking is communication. With a bachelor’s degree in scientific and technical communication from Michigan Tech, I have studied the art and science of communication. I am available to provide services in your home during the day or in the evening. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to accommodate requests for boarding in my home. Safety is paramount: I will ensure your pet's safety while caring for their needs. I also understand the level of trust required to allow a sitter into your home and provide utmost respect for your property and privacy. I would be happy to provide comprehensive companion animal care, including routine caretaking & providing companionship/giving cuddles, administering meds, exercise, and any other aspect of animal care for any species.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and love spending time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I have experience with senior pups and those with special needs, including administering medications and offering gentle support. Every dog is unique, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I currently have open availability through May 19th, so I’m flexible and able to accommodate a wide range of schedules. After that, I’ll be working 40 hours a week but will still have two consistent days off, plus availability for morning, evening, and weekend care. I'm committed to making sure pets get the attention they need, even with a full schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I’m respectful of your space and always keep doors, gates, and feeding areas secure. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

Jennifer L.Star Sitter
“I have an 8 year old Papillion who turned my home and life into a "war zone". She had severe separation anxiety as well has behavior issues like getting into the garbage the second I would turn my back. Strapped into her car seat she would jump around (stepping on various controls in my center "control" section and screaming like a banshee. I dreaded taking her anywhere, and if I left the house, I knew I would come home to her in the crate, covered in poo. I tried to give her the whole kitchen, she chewed through a baby gate and a bookcase to get to the living room. Then Jen started to work with her. Once a new behavior "clicked" with the training, Jen then taught me so that I could reinforce the wanted behaviors. (I also purposely stayed at home without leaving her for 3 weeks. Fast forward a few months and I can actually leave my home for a few hours as well as drive in relative peace! Then it culminated with me needing to be out of the country and trouble finding someone who could take my dog. So I brought her. She was SO perfect, like an animal in a move or tv show: all the walking through multiple airports for hours, sitting at gates forever, even being in a carrier under the seat in front of me for multiple long flights. Hundreds of people complimented her good behavior, especially at a very overcrowded gate! Plus she was good as gold while we were gone as well. I actually can enjoy and love my dog again, all thank to Jen's amazing gift.”

Karina A.
“I would have no worries entrusting my pets to Karina A. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 19 years, so I wouldn't trust just anyone to take care of my fur-babies. Karina has never disappointed, not only do my pets love her, but she loves them and would love yours too, just like they are her own. Working with her in a veterinary clinic setting, I have seen first hand her compassion and love for all animals. Also her knowledge of the administration of medications and what to do if an emergency would arise. Trust Karina A. to care for your pets while you are away and know they are in great and capable hands.”
Ryan H.
“Ryan was super kind, flexible, and considerate toward my senior dog Dayton and me, as our plans changed several times and needed to be adapted to. Highly recommended!!!”
Amber R.
“Amber is a caring and responsible individual when it comes to providing for pets. She watched my two rambunctious kittens for over a week while away, and I had no issues with the experience. She provided excellent communication the entirety of her gig, and regularly updated me with pictures of my kitties. My space was left clean and treated respectfully during this time as well. Would highly recommend her to any others considering her services.”
