House Sitting in Suttons Bay

“Sara was wonderful with our Watson. We came home to a better behaved pup than when we left. We had to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was wonderful not to have to worry about our pup too since Sara takes such good care of him. Thank you Sara!”

About: I grew up walking my neighbors dogs because my parents wouldn’t get me one. We finally got a dog 5 years ago and now have a second one, along with a third bonus dog. Two huskies and a German Shepard have taught me a lot over control of dogs. My love for animals has continued to grow. I started waking some pups from a shelter in my college town. Being back home, I have lots of free time and would love to help take care or your animal(s). At the movement I am babysitting here and there, nothing full time. I have a few weeks where I am completely free and some where I babysit 4-5 days a week. I’m extemlty flexible due to my job! I am more than happy to provide care in your home! I love going on walks, long or short. I’m also happy to play in the backyard, whatever your dog is used to. I’m happy to stay the night or do a few daily check ins!

About: Hey there! My name's Mace, and I've spent years caring for animals of all kinds (ask me about my frogs!) With a background in veterinary medicine, I'm committed to providing compassionate care to furry and scaly creatures alike. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, nail trims, or snuggles on the couch, I'm happy to help. I love befriending every animal I meet and giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether you need weekday, weekend, daytime, or overnight care, I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide the attention, companionship, and care your pets deserve while you're away. I always follow owner instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on your pet's well-being, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“Molly did a great job looking after our dog. So glad we were able to make it happen on kinda short notice for Thanksgiving.”

“Patty just finished a few day stay with our 'gang off littles'! Just delightful. Many thanks to her from us and our three Shih Tzus. Everybody had a good time and for sure shared some laughs. THANK YOU, thank you! Look for you next time. Penny, Dave and Sheila, Mickey and Carl.”

“Lee was a wonderful dog/car sitter! She kept us updated with pictures and texts. She bonded with our pets quickly and one could tell she loves dogs and cats! She even vacuumed before we returned home! We will definitely hire Lee again.”

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”

“Maggie was a great sitter! She stayed in touch and sent photos of our pets while we were away for two weeks which was much appreciated. She took great care of them and our home while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: As a dog owner and sitter, I have had years of experience with dogs of different ages. I have learned to work with their different traits, routines, and personalities when caring for numerous dogs. Returning and new clients have appreciated my photo updates with their pup and can rely on me communicating clearly. As a college student I often have the mornings and evenings open as I tend to have classes in the evening. My schedule frequently changes so I often communicate when I am busy. But I usually have pet owners communicate a time they would like me to pet sit and I try to clear up my schedule. I also can work with last minute requests as well as I know life can be hectic. I ensure safety, communication, and a comfortable environment for your furry friends. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure to follow routines that pet parents write out for me, along with giving them picture updates of their pets.

“Heather is amazing! She came for a meet and greet before her stay. She took in everything about the boys routine and wanted to make sure she was gonna give them an excellent visit. She left our home in a clean condition and during her stay she communicated extensively with photos and video’s showing that everyone was getting along well. We are so thankful to have met Heather and look forward to her future visits!”
