Dog Sitting in Traverse City

About: I have had pets for my entire life. Growing up I cared for strays and found loving homes for them. Animals alway have my heart. I am currently working part time. And I am wanting to incorporate caring for pets in my off hours and of course on my days off. For my pets I have an invisible fence in place to keep them in our yard. I take my pets on a daily walk to help keep them healthy.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a little kid! I love all animals but have had mostly dogs and cats all my life. I have experience in training my own dogs from puppies into senior dogs and they were spoiled rotten every step of the way. I am currently working a part time very flexible job. I have plenty of time to come walk or play with dogs or feed or spoil and take care of them any way they need. I am only available to care for pets in the clients home. I am reliable, respectful and responsible and will give all the fun time needed for your fur baby.

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible - morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend! **Due to several issues with owners not being on time for drop off or pick up, I want to add that when accepting a booking, the time is very important as well as the day as other appointments may be on my schedule that day. It is very important that the drop off and pick up times selected are accurate for smooth transitions.** I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they are away!

“Patty was very patient and accommodating in meeting our anxious dog, and made sure he felt comfortable with introductions on his terms. It’s very clear she knows animals! We plan on booking her again in the near future”

About: I am an animal-loving, 32 year old entrepreneur / music producer working full-time from home. I’ve been taking care of everything from cats and dogs, to horses, since I was 10 years old. I have a dog of my own (Charlie). He’s just over 2 and as friendly as they come—Charlie gets along with all sizes and temperaments. And I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I work from home, so I’m always around. I also understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet’s care in the hands of someone else. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! My house has a massive fenced-in yard (West Bay’s dog park size). Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Schedule: I work from home, so my world already revolves around my own pup, Charlie. I’m already hanging out with my dog 24/7, so I’d love to care for yours as well! Environment: I have a huge fenced-in yard, and a friendly pup to keep your doggo entertained, comfortable and loved. I’m also ALWAYS home. I can accommodate whatever your pup needs.

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.

“My Joey was happy and well taken care of when I came home. Nicole was a great communicator and so kind and loving toward my cat, I will definitely ask her back next time I'm away!”

About: Lover of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have summers completely open and would love to spend it with your pets! I have gained experience with dog sitting, dog walking, senior care, and basic training. I work in a school so I have summers completely open and am flexibility in adjusting my daily and weekly routine for any furry friends. I have attended multiple dog training courses to equip me with the tools necessary to ensure a dog’s safety. I am willing to prioritize gaining trust and making the environment enjoyable.

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

About: I grew up on a farm and so animals have been a part of my life forever! I’ve had several years of paid pet sitting experience with consistent clients who have trusted me in their home to watch their loved ones while away. I’m active and engaged with all animals I care for and respectful and reliable. I work from home so I have added flexibility. I’m also child free so have more time to care for pets in the evenings and weekends. I have provided care for pets and provided home oversight while owners are away for many years. I am a respectful and attentive caregiver and ensure safety and comfort for your pets and personal privacy and space for your home.

“She went over the top to take care of my dog!!! Willl definitely use her again Thank you so much!”

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.

My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“I always feel bad leaving our cat by herself when we go out of town. No longer! Jonathan is our kitty's new favorite person. He was so sweet to her and sent such thorough and thoughtful updates (and great pictures) while we were away. We are so grateful Jonathan was able to check in on her and will be booking future visits with him.”
