About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“This was my first time using this service and I have to say I will book with Anita again. She cared for my fur child like he was her own and kept me updated on him while i was away. She is kind, compassionate and caring which is just what my very nervous dog needed when I went out of town.”
“Irina was absolutely amazing with Max. From the moment we met her, I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated the whole time with photos and messages about how he was doing, which really meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was safe and happy. Max seemed to really enjoy being with her, and I could tell he was in a caring and positive environment. She was attentive. I would definitely ask her to dog sit Max again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and communicative. can’t wait to book her again! 🩷”
“Amazing Experience Again! This is the second time I’ve used Catherine’s dog boarding service, and once again, everything was perfect. Dexy felt comfortable and well-cared-for, just like the first time. Catherine is reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to make sure all my dog’s needs are met. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and will definitely continue using her services in the future!”
“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Thank you, Jessica for taking such great care of Teddy Monday through Friday. You sending us daily pictures and updates made us feel very connected and assured that Teddy was in great hands. I will definitely feel comfortable having you take care of Teddy the next time we would need to go away!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Harbor Beach
“Great sitters for the evening while we had dinner out. Our dog has severe anxiety, happy pup as long as he humans like Vadim & Stacy to keep him company.”
“Benson looked very comfortable in his day care photos and was so happy to hear he was well behaved with Porscha and Applejack! I would definitely work with Billi again”
“We traveled with our dog to Fl for a work/vacation trip. While in Ft Lauderdale we knew we needed a day sitter for Mr Charlie whom is diabetic and blind. Cherie was very attentive to his needs and took extra care with Charlie. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He had two consecutive day visits and each time was happy when we arrived to him up. As a rover sitter myself I felt that Cherie took care of him as we would And was attentive to our special needs guy. If we find ourselves in her area again we would not hesitate to rebook with Cherie”
“I had to find a sitter very last minute due to an unexpected conflict, and Kat truly came through for me when I was in a bind. She responded quickly, was extremely understanding of my situation, and immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really helped calm my anxiety and let me know my pup was happy and well cared for. Kat’s building was a huge bonus—it’s extremely dog-friendly and has the cutest pups lol There was a private dog run right along the water that she was able to take my sweet dolly to,and a gorgeous park just across the street. It was clear from the updates that my dog was getting plenty of outdoor time and stimulation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Reliability is everything when trusting someone with your pet, and Kat exceeded expectations. She was warm, professional, and totally dependable. I would absolutely book with her again 💖”
“When I picked up my dog, he looked genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. I really appreciate the great care, and I’ll definitely be leaving him more often in the future!”
“Ted was so great! He accommodated my special needs dogs last minute and was super communicative the whole time. He sent lots of pics/vids and updated me on how they were doing. Definitely going to be using him in the future!!!”

We appreciated their communication, and update photos! We can’t wait to use them again!”
“Gheraldine is very sweet! She was attentive in understanding Bruno’s needs for the day, and when I received my card at the end of the day, my dog was well looked after. Thank you!!”

I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”
“This was my first time using this service and I have to say I will book with Anita again. She cared for my fur child like he was her own and kept me updated on him while i was away. She is kind, compassionate and caring which is just what my very nervous dog needed when I went out of town.”
“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Definitely a 5 Star sitter. I contacted Taylor on very short notice. She responded within 10 minutes. She was watching my dog with in 1 hour. My dog Cookie really liked staying with Taylor. She was very loving to my dog. Taylor sent me several pictures and videos of my dog during the day. I would highly recommend Taylor to watch your pet. We are definitely going to use Taylor again to watch my dog. 👏”
“It was our first time having anyone watch our new pup, Rocco, and immediately felt comfortable when we met Petra. She was so nice, and very clearly loves animals. She made Rocco feel at home and made us feel at ease. She was very communicative throughout Rocco’s stay, sending multiple picture/video updates showing he was having fun with her two dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog watcher you can rely on!”
“I would definitely recommend Gheraldine, she definitely accepted my short notice boarding. She was very responsive very communicative and excellent caretaker for my Bella. She sent pictures daily of her stay I would definitely recommend her in the future.”
“Amelia took wonderful care of Pal! Daily updates and photos made it easier to be away from him. Knowing he was getting so much love and one-on-one attention was comforting, especially since he can be anxious around other dogs/multiple humans. I loved that he had a safe outdoor space to run free, and also found comfort in that Amelia has extensive training experience and is very knowledgeable with dogs. I am definitely going to be rebooking next time I need a sitter! Thank you Amelia!”
“Andrea and her family was amazing! My golden girls are so spoiled and for sure they got all the love and attention they like. Andrea sent me pictures and updates at least twice a day, which for me was a plus. Zoey and Molly were so happy and calm when I picked them up. I have already booked her again for our next vacation. I am happy to find a loving family to watch my girls while traveling.”
“Jennifer and her dog Kona were great companions for my pup, Twix. Twix is very shy around people, but he warmed up to Jennifer pretty quickly and did not want to leave! Overall Jennifer took great care of our dog, sent us lots of pictures and updates! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“I’m a repeat customer and Miss Violet is always as happy as can be when pick her up from a stay with Sean. Great communication and has been flexible, which is so appreciated !”
“Becky and Ravid were excellent! We really appreciated the thorough meet and greet so Arya could get familiar with them and their house. Very quick responses and easy to schedule with. We loved the daily, frequent pictures and updates sent to us while we were away. We have two more stays booked with Becky and Ravid already and Arya can’t wait to go back and stay with her new friends!”
