About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I also foster dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently work full time in a hybrid position, which gives me the flexibility to care for pups during certain weekdays as well as weekends. Whether you’re at work or planning a little getaway, you can feel confident knowing your dog will be well cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. While your pet is here, they’ll be treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax and roam around the house with our dog, but if your pup is more shy or prefers their own space, we also have a quiet room where they can unwind comfortably. Since our yard is not fenced in, all outdoor time will be supervised and on a leash to keep everyone safe. And if your dog loves walks, even better — we enjoy going on daily walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

Arden was amazing for our senior/deaf kitty Gonzo. He warmed up to her on the first visit, then tried to hold her captive. He loves her and so do we! We will definitely use Arden for future trips.

About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for 2 years and would love to offer compassionate care & endless love & cuddles to yours as I know what it is personally like only wanting to trust your pup with the best! I’m currently taking some time off from corporate work as my husband & I recently moved to MI. My availability might change a little bit overtime but right now I am very flexible for endless walks and care. I have a (small) fenced in yard and a very friendly goldendoodle who loves to play with new friends! I can accommodate a crate and anything else needed to make your fur baby comfortable.

I have a modified automated cat feeder and a few smart home setups that I was worried would be too intricate to explain to someone else, but Heather handled everything perfectly; she absolutely went above and beyond! She was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. I'm planning another trip soon and will certainly book with her again!

About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

Julia was wonderful to work with and I will definitely book with her again. She followed our instructions for animal care and provided photos and updates at each visit. All communication was prompt and professional. Our animals were happy and safe on our return. Something necessary unexpectedly broke on her first day and she was still able to find a way to do what needed to be done despite the challenge -and she let me know. She is an incredibly kind person. I felt like I was leaving a trusted friend to care for my animals and home, which I deeply appreciate as this was the first time we’ve hired this type of care. I strongly recommend her!
