I cannot think of another person that I would entrust my 4-legged family members to.

“Mary Healey has been a pet owner and care giver all her life,... at one time as an adult, caring for two dogs (one a Doberman) and three cats, not to mention growing up raising horses, goats, chickens, and other animals at her country home outside of Clarkston. Currently she cares for three cats in an apartment in Traverse City. She is especially attentive to special dietary needs and treatment dental and digestive issues of her cats, as well as ensuring her cats enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. She leash-trained all three of her cats and takes them on hiking adventures 3 to 4 times each week on the numerous trails and in the numerous Nature Preserves in the lower peninsula of Michigan, which the cats look forward to and enjoy. She recently moved to an apartment complex in Traverse City, where her cats meet neighborhood dogs on lease nearly every day. Mary's sixth sense and empathetic nature helps to calm and set at ease all the pets and pet owners. Her two Maine Coon cats are well known in the neighborhood. She loves animals so much that she started an Instagram account @mr.bingley.mainecoon several years ago where she has gained over 50,000 followers who enjoy her daily posts on the lives and adventures of her cats and her advice and philosophy she has gained through her experience and acquired knowledge. To put it simply, Mary LOVES animals, and they love her. There are many people who love pets and will be able to take care of yours but is no one you can trust more to take care of your pets.”

“I would definitely recommend Lykos as a caregiver for your pets. He is very compassionate and attentive to your animals needs. He does very in depth research on the breed of your animal to ensure the best care and proper exercise. He is very patient, and takes everything you tell him about your pet and their behaviors very seriously. Lykos has watched my highly reactive, high energy GSD for a weekend and was very good at keeping me updated and provided timely and descriptive responses to any questions or concerns I addressed. All in all, I would recommend Lykos to anyone in need of care or assistance with their pets. From reptiles, to dogs and cats, and everything in between.”

“Gunnar is probably the most trustworthy person I know! He loves dogs and I have no doubt you’d have a great experience when you hire him to watch your pets since it is something he is very passionate about!”

“Emily has been an assistant in my mobile dog grooming business for the past year. She has a natural way with the dogs and they respond to her presence so well. She is patient, kind, and responsible when it comes to caring for pets. I cannot say enough good things about her- she is a very trustworthy, hardworking person and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to leave my own beloved pups in her hands.”

“Amelia did such a wonderful job looking after our dog. She stopped over a couple of times per day while we were out of town, looked after our little guy, and took him on twice daily walks. She was warm, timely, thorough, and couldn't have taken better care of him. Really looking forward to working with her again.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. My Dad went to school to be a Veterinarian, so we have always been around different animals. I have two cats at home, and recently just lost my beloved dog, Lexi! I currently attend Northwestern Michigan College, so I have lots of free time to play with pups! I am in the aviation program, so my schedule fluctuates a bit but I always know the week before! I can walk, feed, clean-up after any pets. I have no preference, little, big, cats and dogs. I am able to understand pets all have very special needs and want to fulfill those.

“Lisa K. Levent is an animal lover. He has taken care of my pups and cat on several occasions. He's responsible and consistent. While in Levent's care, my animals were happy and loved. His family are close friends and I've seen him through the years care for his own animals with love. You will be lucky to hire Levent to care for your fur babies.”
