Dog Sitting Sylvan Lake

About: I have experience with dogs of various breeds and ages ranging, who are most often from shelters or rescues. While I have 2 dogs of my own (shelter & foster), I have 5 years of experience fostering dogs who come directly from their rescue location who often need adjustment/bonding time, medical care & basic training (potty, crate, walking, etc.). The fosters I have cared for range from ages 3mo-8 years, and I am comfortable with senior care and rd ministering medication. I have experience with dogs who are more reactive. My work schedule allows me to be available during the week in the early morning or evening. During the weekends I am able to fill in afternoon slots for walks or a home visit! I have raised dogs with both fenced in and partially fenced in yards. Their off-leash time in the yard required supervision and thorough training to keep them engaged in staying in the yard. I walk my dogs on a leash and crate them when I leave the house.

“It was so comforting to know Mindy was here to take care and spend some time with Spunky. She is great!! Spunky is hard to care for being a diabetic blind deaf senior and Mindy did as great job. Thank you so much for caring for him. I will definitely call her again !!!”

“Anna was great with my girls, she is very friendly and made sure they were comfortable around her. She followed all the instructions and sent good reports of each visit. I will book again and would recommend her. Thank you, Anna!”

“Scott was just amazing! He took great care of our pet while we were away. He is very friendly, open to suggestions and is a great communicator (and quick!). His professionalism all in all is awesome. I would definitely hire him again.”

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote all my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.

About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a specialty hospital, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and can handle medications, special diets, and extra attention with confidence. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I work five days a week, which means I’m available for drop-in visits on weekends and dog walking on weekdays after 4 PM. This allows me to provide reliable evening walks during the week and more flexible, attentive care on weekends when I have additional availability. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in a specialty hospital, I’m held to high professional and ethical standards every day. Pet owners trust me with their animals’ health and safety in a clinical setting, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to detail into pet sitting. I’m trained to handle emergencies, follow care instructions precisely, and recognize when something isn’t right. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, reliable, and compassionate hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have my own Bernese Mountain Dog, Bear, so I’m very comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I now also have two cats. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and can adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling both calm and high-energy dogs, and I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind!

“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”

About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 4th year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. I am able to watch your pet full time. There will either be me or my husband at home to take care of your pet 24/7. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.

“We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years through family, friends, and neighbors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing exercise, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I currently have a mini goldendoodle who is enrolled in therapy dog training, which has given me additional experience with positive reinforcement and understanding canine behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays, allowing me to provide extra attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship during the day. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

As a dog owner myself, my home is clean, safe, and designed with pets in mind. My mini goldendoodle, Marlow, is friendly and social, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing supervision, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests. I understand that some pets are most comfortable in their own environment, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Leah took wonderful care of our cats while my husband and I were away. This was my first Rover experience and I am very pleased. Leah always arrived in a timely fashion and sent thorough updates with photos.”

About: I've loved and had a few dogs during my lifetime. I've since lost them years ago, but my love for them will never die. I have a big heart and would love to share the love. My daughter is especially excited when she sees dogs or cats. We have a few stray cats around our building and she loves to see them. She is the only child and having pets around would be such a entertainment booster. Shes 8 so she's definitely aware of them. Plus we could get more exercise!! Win win for everyone. Your pet will be well cared for and anything special they may need will be taken care of as long as we're instructed to do so. I can't wait to see your fur baby soon!
