“Had to take a trip to Chicago for my granddaughter's birthday. Very hard to leave my dog and feel that everything will be ok. I had Chasity come to sit with Cooper and again she did an excellent job. Always sends pictures of what Cooper is doing so we do not have to wonder. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

10. Kristine C.
About: As a sitter, I stand out because of my unique blend of experience and skills. I specialize in training puppies, ensuring they develop into well-behaved companions. Additionally, I have a passion for senior care, providing attentive and compassionate support to older pets. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for all animals under my care, tailored to their specific needs and personalities. With me, your furry friends are not just looked after; they're cherished. Pet care is not just a part of my routine; it's a priority that shapes my day. I wake up every day at 3am when my dog is whining in my ear to go outside, ensuring their needs are met even before the sun rises. Throughout the day, I integrate playtime, walks, and feeding schedules seamlessly into my schedule, making sure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's early morning walks or late-night cuddles, my pets are always at the forefront of my daily activities. I have fenced and a ring camera with a big yard. I never leave my dog out of my site! They can run around for hours. I have a park by me as well that’s 5 minutes away
11. Mila W.
“I was very excited to find Mila. We had decided to make an extended vacation stay in New Buffalo, MI and found that the hotel would not accept our dog. Using Rover, we found Mila 10 miles away and boarded our pup with her. She sent pics of Sascha on walks and chilling out- it was perfect. Will definitely hook up again next time we are in MI. Thanks again, Mila!!”
12. Taylor B.
“Taylor had great communication. We were visiting the area and needed to board for a night. She had a fenced in yard to allow my dog to run around, like she does at home. If we are ever this way, I would use her again.”
13. Robin P.
“Robin did a wonderful job with Katie and Bella and would recommend her to everyone.”
14. Sidney C.
“Sidney was absolutely amazing with my babies. She got them little treats for the holidays, and just went totally above and beyond to make them feel at home. We will definitely be using her again any time we go out of town. Would 10/10 recommend her services for your furry family. ??❤️”
