About: Hi my name is Erin! My husband Andy and I live in Fife Lake, Michigan. We live on a 5 acre wooded lot, where our 2 dogs love to play. Andy will be around to help out at home but will not be helping with walking and home visits at this time. We both work full time in Traverse City, Mi. We have 2 super friendly dogs named Huck and Tater. Huck is a very sweet and timid Golden Retriever rescue that joined the family almost 9 years ago. Tater is a super energetic English lab who hunts with Andy. We love to take our dogs hiking, swimming, and camping. We play fetch with them every night after dinner, we even take them mountain biking with us. Both of our dogs are on a grain free diet. We don’t feed them table scraps and they aren’t allowed on the furniture. I absolutely love dogs!!! I’m very responsible and I’d love to help look after your buddies while you’re at work or out of town. I will keep your dogs active and well loved in your absence. You can expect to get lots of fun photos of your pals while they’re in my care! Unfortunately I can’t take aggressive dogs with a history of biting. I work full-time in Traverse City for a very flexible company. So I can walk your pet before work, during lunch or after work. If you're interested in house sitting I could be available during those same times to pop in to check on your pet. If you’re looking for a drop-in visit for your pet, these same time frames would apply. We live on a 5 acre lot that used to be an old Christmas tree farm. We never let our dogs or those we’re watching out unattended. We give the pets we’re watching just as much attention as do our own, which is to say A LOT. Our home really revolves around our best friends Huck and Tater 💗

“My dog were very happy with Madisyn”


About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!

“Very professional and punctual! I had a mishap with letting Amy in and she patiently waited and took good care of my little guy! I would recommend her”


“We love Jordyn!! Her communication, reliability, and caring personality make her a wonderful pet sitter. So grateful we found her!”


“Scott and Stephanie were great to work with. They communicated well, showed up for the full appointment time we booked, and took great care of our cat when we were out of town. All the stars, would book again.”


“Sara is always great with my girls! I love the peace of mind she offers, making sure they are well cared for during my long days at work. She is also very accommodating and flexible! Couldn’t be more satisfied!”


“Ally was on-time for every session which gave me the peace of mind that my pet was comforted by having a consistent feeding and visitor schedule. Thanks Ally!”


“Nicole was great with communicating with us during her visits when questions arose. She was kind, compassionate and patient with our elderly cat.”


“Thank you for taking care of our Stormi girl while we where skiing your the best ! Definitely recommend her !”


“Deanna is GREAT! We had to ask her to book with us SUPER last minute and she didn’t hesitate! We had just rescued one of our dogs a few weeks prior to her helping us out, so he still has a lot to learn, and we were up front with her about this and she was EXTREMELY understanding and did a GREAT job with both of our dogs. We hate leaving our dogs but had no choice, and we were so thankful that we didn’t have to worry that they were being taken care of because Deanna was great at communicating everything that was going on, and our dogs LOVED her, we highly recommend her!”


“Kara had clearly worked with dogs before, and wasn't phased by the hyper, energetic ball of fur that is our dog. It was nice to know we'd be leaving him with someone who knew how to handle his energy while continuing with the commands, training, etc. we'd been working with him on.”


“Jennifer was such a blessing! She dropped in on our cat Onion for 6 evenings while my husband and I were out of town. She was amazing with sending tons of pictures and letting us know what Onion was up to during her visits! Thank you Jen!”


About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible, morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend works great for me! I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they cannot be home!

“Michelle took great care of our cat! Will book again”


About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I love pets of every ki've always enjoyou have always enjoyed giving them the love and care they deserve! I work part time so I have lots of availability to help with your pets. I can visit before or after I have work. And it helps that I am available on most weekends! I have a dog and 2 cats and they are spoiled. Rotten. I have gotten my dog lots of extra training and I work with my animals all the time.

About: I love animals! I took care of my own pets & those of friends and family before I began to professionally dog-sit in 2008. I do occasional cat care as well, which I began in 2007. I live with my partner, Michael & our dog, Kyro, at the top of Old Mission Peninsula. I work part-time to full-time in any given week, so I have a ton of variety with my schedule. This gives me the time to stop in & check on your doggies, care for them, play, sometimes go to the dogpark or other destination :) I provide pet care in the client's home via drop-ins. I also provide boarding for dogs and cats, and occasionally house-sit. I have oral med experience for both cats and dogs, though I have not given any medications intravenously yet. However, I'm open to being trained on how you administer the intravenous meds needed for your pet's proper medical care.

About: My affection for animals dates back to my childhood, where a loyal German shepherd was my constant companion. Moreover, my commitment extends beyond personal connections. Over the last year, I have dedicated time to walk and socialize shelter dogs at the Cherryland Humane Society. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of canine behavior but also allowed me to contribute to the well-being of dogs in need. The bonds formed during these interactions have left a lasting impact, reinforcing my passion for the welfare of our four-legged friends. I also currently take care of my roommates cat frequently to provide tender care to our furry friend. I currently work another job, therefore I am available on Monday- Thursday from 8am-9am & 6:30pm-9pm & Saturday & Sunday all day. Starting in June I will be available after 5pm on the weekdays as well! I take note to accommodate your pets individual needs by following detailed instructions and preferences to provide the highest level of quality care for your beloved pet.
