About: My partner Jenn and I have both taken care of dogs most of our lives. We have a special passion for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities and adore helping them find joy. We have three dogs of our own and are situated on a 5 acre lot with 1 acre fully fenced. You can usually find one of us outside exploring with the dogs or just enjoying the backyard. Our visiting dogs always have such a great time being part of our pack, playing outside, exploring the trails or cuddling up next to a warm fire inside. I work from home and my partner is retired so we are always here to supervise your pups play. We can easily adjust to your dogs needs. For example, if your dog is more comfortable at night crated, we can certainly accommodate. As well, there are plenty of dog beds too! Special dietary needs, medication, etc. all can be accommodated.

About: Since 18 years, I’ve provided loving, reliable dog sitting, caring for all breeds with personalized attention, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and at home. I have owned a couple of cats as pets. I am a huge animal lover. I am currently not working. While I look for a job I intend on pet sitting for people. I am available throughout the week and very flexible. I live in an apartment that has plenty garden space for nice walks. I am close to downtown Mason where it's great for interactive walks for your fur-babies. My apartment has great windows for a good view.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have a 12 year old Doberman, a 2 year old pitbull mix, 4 black cats, 2 donkeys, 6 chickens and a parakeet. In the recent past, I worked as a temporary Animal Care Technician at the Ingham County Animal Control which gave me experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and cats with different behaviors. I also learned a lot about giving medications and vaccines, animal enrichment, feeding guidelines and more. I am very interested in dog training so your dogs will get some free training as I am sure I will be practicing any new techniques I learn with my clients! Recently I opened a small dog daycare a mile down the road from my home. Any dog that stays with me will likely get to go down to play with other dogs during the day. If you would like to learn more, just ask! Pet Care is my full time job. I love what I do. Please see my calendar or check with me on my availability for specific dates and times. BOARDING: Any dog I board must get along with my dogs. We will set up a free Meet and Greet at my home before the visit gets booked to make sure it will be a good fit. I have a large fenced in back yard but can also take your dog for daily walks if you prefer. We do also have 2 donkeys that share a fence line with our backyard area. They are used to dogs and have never broken through the fence. I always treat others pets as my own. I interact with them with patience, gentleness and love. I only use positive reinforcement. I am an active person and love to play ball and go for walks or slow jogs, but I also love to cuddle with any furry friends. Pets are family!

About: Hi, I'm Maci and I've enjoyed taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes for neighbors, friends, and co-workers since I was 10. I've administered medication including pills and insulin shots for dogs I have cared for. I love to give all the scratches, pets, and cuddles, and just really enjoy being around animals. My husband and I have one dog ourselves, Bodie, a five year old golden retriever. He's obsessed with frisbees so we spend lots of time throughout the day playing frisbee with him and going for walks. I currently work from home so I'm home all day Sunday-Saturday. If I'm away from home to grocery shop or run errands, I'm usually gone for an hour or two. I frequently spend my lunch hours on walks with our golden retriever, so he never goes very long without exercise or time outside. My husband and I live on four acres with an unfenced yard in the countryside near Leslie, far from high-traffic roads. I keep fresh water on the back deck in addition to inside the house for water breaks between frisbee or playtime. Since I work from home, I can follow whatever potty schedule your pet is accustomed to.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was ten years old. Walking, feeding, paying, and bathing dogs of all breeds. You can count on me to make sure your dogs and cats are well taken care of. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur family! We will play, get in plenty of walks, and enjoy our time together. I am fully confident in my ability to keep your pets safe, happy, and engaged. I am very respectful of boundaries and will do my absolute best to make sure your pet has a great and comfortable time.

About: As someone who views dogs as furry children, I offer a compassionate and attentive approach to dog sitting. With experience in training and walking dogs of all sizes, I understand the unique needs of each pet. Currently studying nutrition and fitness, I’m well-equipped to keep energetic dogs active, which benefits both their energy levels and attention spans. I am knowledgeable in house and outdoor training, and I am skilled in assertively and kindly interacting with dogs. Rest assured, I will adhere to your dog's feeding and potty routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have a purebred adult Boxer and a senior Boxer mix with previous knee surgery, so I’m experienced in providing extra care for dogs with special needs. I previously cared for a Bichon Frise who lived to 13 years old, further enhancing my understanding of long-term pet care. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and see it as an opportunity to build friendships and provide quality care beyond just earning money. Feel free to contact me to discuss your dog’s specific needs and how I can help. I currently own 2 dogs, they arent aggressive but need to be introduced to new people/dogs. I cannot accept aggressive dogs. It's a 4br home with 2 spare rooms so dogs can be separated if needed. My yard is huge and only fenced on 3 sides, i only feel comfortable taking your dog out on a leash. I am very active with my dogs and if allowed (and weather permits) i go on walks, car rides, parks, ponds, i like letting my dogs smell stuff. I work from home but do have a social life. We can discuss if your dog needs to only be kept in my home or if travel is ok. I enjoy walking dogs and i think it helps with behavior. I love to give them lots of attention and treat them as my children.

“Sara was excellent! She truly wanted what was best for my pup Lucy and kept an eye out for her all day long. She is super nice, very responsive, and such a good doggy sitter. My dog is very old and Sara took such good care of her. I will be going back to Sara many more times for care for Lucy. Thank you Sara! ❤️”

Alicia W.
“Alicia is one of the most loving and caring people I know. She loves others animals just as much as she loves her own. They are like her children. Not only will she spoil your pet with love, she is also very responsible and always puts safety first. You will never find anything missing, a door unlocked, or a light left on. She prides herself in being trustworthy and professional. Her time spent at the Ingham County Animal Shelter has really expanded her knowledge of dog and cat behavior. Alicia wants nothing more than to make you AND your pet feel happy and cared for!”

Christine R.
“Christine is an excellent pet caregiver who is very responsible, dependable, and kind. Our Covid puppies had limited socialization during lockdown and have a lot of anxiety meeting new people even at 4 years old and they warmed up to her quicker than anyone else! Her patient and positive attitude I believe is what helped them feel comfortable with her. Our cat, who also is more selective and people she likes, adores her. I highly recommend Christine as a loving caregiver, especially if you’re looking for someone with a big heart, great communication skills, and hard-working. One of the best people to have ever assisted us with our furbabies. 10/10!”
