Cat Sitting in Traverse City

“Rebekah was fantastic. We were away all day and she stopped by 3x to make sure our GSD was doing well. Fed, potty time, play time, you name it. Huxley is very very happy!”

“Paigg sent timely pictures and reports about my cat Max. She was patient with him and gained his trust. I would definitely have her drop in visit with Max again.”

“Better than the best! Having Breezy take care of our fur babies while we were “off the grid” was such a gift. Even before leaving, I knew they were in great hands, as she demonstrated excellent communication, a strong work ethic, and an impressive rapport with both of our pets. Our dog was having separation anxiety, and Breezy was able to successfully trouble shoot ways to increase her interest in eating while we were gone. She also took the initiative to notice the neighborhood trash pick up schedule, wash pet dishes, collect packages, and deadhead our plants. Breezy was also excellent at convincing our senior pets to take their medicine. We returned home to two very happy, healthy, tail-wagging bundles of fluff! I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Breezy and would love to have her sit our furry family members again!”

“Melissa was a joy to have as a sitter for our shy kitty! (I’m only sad that he wasn’t more social!). She is a great communicator, very conscientious, consistent, and patient. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others or to request a rebook in the future. Thank you so much, Melissa!”

“Lisa rocks! She went about and beyond to make sure our baby had everything he needed while we were gone. Thank you so much for your care and help!”

About: I have 13+ years of hands-on dog care experience through long-term ownership and family pet sitting. I have experience with puppies, seniors, small and large breeds. I'm easy-going, friendly, and trustworthy. I'm also a Mother to two fun, and happy children. My husband Elliot and I live on the west side of Traverse City in Elmwood Twshp. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I offer Doggy Day Care, Drop-In Visits, Boarding, & Housesitting (depending on distance/needs). If you’re unsure which option fits your needs, feel free to message me before booking. I’m always happy to help! I'd love to care for your pet(s) while you're traveling, or away! I know how important routines can be for pets, and I'm attentive to behavior changes/moods. I'm always open for fun, or a calm environment depending on individual needs. I love sending photos and updates as well! If care happens to be in my home - I have a large fenced-in yard, safe and loving home, and two children who love animals! I typically only take one pet at a time, unless pets are from the same family- or it has been okayed by all parties to socialize.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full time teacher, so while weekdays do work, it would need to be around that sort of schedule during the school year. I can provide short term care on weekdays and more intensive care on weekends. During summer months I am wide open to provide care as needed. I’m an avid runner and LOVE to be outside so I’m happy to provide short or long walks for your animal. During summer months, my availability is based largely on your needs.

“Jamie was great with our dog, Otis. Super communicative and flexible with us. 5/5 recommend!!”

About: I’ve grown up with and have had to take care of all kinds of pets ranging from chickens to dogs. My expertise is with dogs and cats because chickens don’t really listen to me. I am open to any of your needs like walking or sitting. I am in school but my schedule is still very flexible and can work with you around it. I’m have not trained puppies but i’m sure there’s a youtube video somewhere out there. I’m currently enrolled at Legacy Aviation Learning Center. I am in school from 7:00am-2:30pm. I have a lunch break at 10:50-11:40 and am open to walking then. I am also free on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets at my home because it is a pet free apartment unfortunately. Rover wants 7 more words but I don’t have anything to say.

About: I’ve always been a pet and animal person, growing up with pretty much every pet you can think of. I’m happy to help with any specialized care and be a welcoming presence for you and your pet! I work either morning or night shifts a few days a week, so some days might be around 6am and again at 9pm. This would only be one or two of the visits, and your pet takes priory! I love every pet as my own and truly enjoy getting to know them and what makes them comfortable. I understand that no two pets are the same and some require different variations of care and attention.

“Allison was the first Rover sitter we’ve used, and we’re super happy with our experience! She was very responsive, followed our instructions perfectly, and was consistent with visit times and photo updates. I felt confident knowing our cat Chloe was being taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
