About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’m naturally nurturing and currently in school pursuing a career in nursing, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals and enjoy building bonds with pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve trained my pets and I currently have a cat and a dog of my own. My dream is to one day have a farm filled with animals! Spending time with pets is something I truly love. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away. I am available Monday through Sunday various times and for overnight stays if needed. I am in the TC area until the end of August. I am happy to work with a family and all your needs for care. I always keep a pet's safety and care as my number one priority. My kitty and dog are my world, and I would treat other animals the same way I treat my own. I would be sure to keep them fed. loved and nurtured while they are in my care.

“Another last-minute request that could not have gone better. Charles and his son took such excellent care of a foster dog ours that is very anxious and needy. 10/10 stars. Charles is the best!”

About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

“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: Hi there! My name’s Kayla and next to me is Maple. I am a retired physical therapist, done caring for humans, and ready to care for your fur baby. Maple accompanies me on weekly runs in addition to running errands and adventuring. Together we recently attended behavior skills classes where we both learned higher level training. I’d love to connect! I am a newly retired (burnt out) physical therapist, with lots of time on my hands. Ready to get back to life’s simple pleasures and happiness. #pets Pets are family and deserve to be treated as such. Love and attention go a long way into a building a relationship with a pet.

About: Many years in the veterinary medicine field has shaped my skills for medicating and treating pets of all shapes and sizes, but I have had a love for animal behavior and the unspoken relationships with them for as long as I can remember! I look forward to creating and nurturing a relationship with all the animals I meet, as well as their owners. I pride myself on the attention to detail I provide in my care, and can’t wait to spend some time with your pets! I am currently working part time, and would love to spend some time with your pets on my off days. Available for some morning and evening walks through the week as well! Mainly looking to do walking and drop in visits that work with my part time schedule. I am more than willing to discuss stay in home sitter care for the right cases! :)

“Marissa took great care of our two cats during our weekend away. She charmed even our shy kitty during the intro visit and gave us the peace of mind that they’d have good company while we were away. Thank you Marissa for treating our babies like your own!”

About: We are a married couple who have experience raising 3 active German Shorthair Pointers. I’m a teacher and my husband, James, works his IT job remote which allows us to have flexibility with letting dogs out and walking at various times of the day. We have experience with administering medication to dogs and caring for senior dogs as well. We love exploring the outdoors while camping and fishing. You can catch us on the water any chance we get. We also love spending time at home with our fur babies, Striker and Daisy. They keep us on our toes and make life fun! I’m a teacher and my husband works his job remote which allows us to have flexibility with letting dogs out and walking at various times of the day. I have availability all days and times during summer months and after 4:00 pm during the school year. James has more flexibility and is available to help any day and most times. We provide drop in services and dog walking. Our dogs are friendly but we’d leave them at home and focus on your pups while you need us. I am allergic to cats so prefer homes without just to be on the safe side.

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.

“Asia was great with our shy pup for a drop in visit. Patient and positive the whole time. We will be working with her again!”

“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Michelle took great care of our cat! Will book again”

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.

“Rachel was great.”

Dru A.

“Very polite, would recommend Heather. I loved the photos”

Katrina W.

“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’ve been a dog person my whole life, but I love all sorts of animals! Whatever energy your dog has, I’ll be sure to match theirs! I have a ton of flexibility and will be home for the next few months. I will be available most weekends and especially during the weekdays. The best time for me is early mornings and afternoons. I’ve had all sorts of dogs over the 14 years of being a pet owner. I’ve had several rescues, small and medium sized dogs, and have adopted dogs from the ages ranging from only a couple of months old, to 5 years old. I understand that every dog is different, and by owning rescues that were abandoned or were mistreated, I learned that their diets, playing style, and temperaments are different. Every dog deserves to be given the best love and attention, so I’ll make sure they have lots of playing and great walks! I used to compete in cross country in college, so there’s no walk that is too long for me!

About: I love dogs more than humans and would treat your dog like my own. I am very active and enjoy going for several walks throughout the day. I also am working part time so I always be available and accommodating for any special requests/needs. I am also a nurse and am familiar with giving medications and would feel comfortable doing so for your pup if needed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and take them for long walks. I live by several trails that I take my own pup to often. I own my own house and have a large backyard with a dog run. There are also several trails near by that I’d love to take your dog to!
