Pet Sitting in Traverse City

“We are VERY happy with Paigg’s service and special care of our medium-sized, senior (Bulldog mix) after a 2-night trip. She gave great and frequent updates, which set our minds at ease as first-time Rover users.”

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.

“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!”

“Paul did a great job taking care of our 3 cats for a weekend. We greatly appreciated that we were able to book with him on short notice and hope that he will be available for future visits.”

“Virginia did a great job of taking care of my kitty and kept me informed. She was very flexible when I changed my travel dates, which was really appreciated. Would definitely use her 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!”

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’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 am a lifelong animal lover! I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and have always been my friends and families go-to pet sitter. I love all animals as if they’re my own! I’m currently working part time, so I have open availability to walk your pups. I am reliable and typically good on short notice. My M-F schedule slightly differs day to day, but availability is generally 8a-11a and 2p-8p. I am a cat mom, however always grew up with dogs. I have two cats who are endlessly spoiled, which I learned from our spoiled dogs growing up.

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

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.

“Grace took such good care of our pup and is a great communicator”

Lora L.

“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!”

“Megan did a great job taking care of my cats. She made sure their litter boxes were cleaned and played with the ones that were willing to show their faces. She made sure to send pictures, which is always appreciated!”

About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.

About: I used to work at a vet clinic, so I am good with emergencies and handling special instructions. I am professional, organized, communicative and trustworthy. I work from home 99% of the time, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’ll hang out with your pets as long as needed. What you say goes and you know what is best for your pet, so tell me what you need and I’ll happily make it happen.

“Great communication throughout!”
