“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”
“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Angela was very welcoming and caring for our Gizmo! From the moment we arrived her and her husband greeted us with open arms. We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“You want a second review? I already told you she was great with my dog, he had a fun time with her dogs and since he was recently adopted I was worried how he would do. He was fine when I picked him up!”
“We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”
“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”
“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”
“Danielle and her family took wonderful care of Olly over a holiday weekend. He’s an older dog who is sensitive to his care and surroundings and we are grateful for the careful, thoughtful care Danielle provided!”
“Byron and Martha were great hosts and took great care of our Yorkie boys! They sent daily pictures and messages to let us know how the boys were doing, so we didn't have to worry during our trip. I highly recommend them, and I'll be bringing the boys back whenever my wife and I travel again.”
“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“Absolutely awesome! They obviously love animals. My girls had a wonderful time visiting Francine and Bob. This was the first time I left them at a sitter’s house. They sent photos of my girls having fun. That put my mind at ease. I definitely will use them again!”
“Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!”
“Gage was responsive in a timely fashion and sent me picture updates! He even introduced my dog to a cat (Gage’s cat) for the first time and the cat loved my dog’s energy so much, his cat decided to snuggle with my dog on the bed. So adorable! Thank you, Gage!”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”

“Hope was awesome! She made my sweet but sometimes shy cat feel comfortable & safe, and even fed my feral colony for me. She asked clarifying questions when needed, and did exactly what I requested. I would definitely book with Hope again.”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Sam was great! Even my shy cat warmed up to her and came out to visit and my bolder cat climbed her by the end. If I wasn’t moving out of the area I would absolutely use her again the next time I needed a sitter. I’m thrilled.”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our cat Frankie! They got on really well and had lots of cuddles, and she kept us well informed with how things were going. Recommended!”
“Julie was really nice and took good care of my fur babies. My fur babies (cats) hide, so she didn't get to see them very often. I would hire her again.”
“Linnea took care of our 3 fur baby cats for 11 days while we were away on vacation. I had never left the 3 of them alone together and I was quite anxious about it. Linnea did the most fantastic job, and with all of the pictures and written synopsis of how the visit went my mind was at ease. I can tell the cats really took to her and when my boy Buddy had some issues she kept me updated and went above and beyond what was expected. Thank you Linnea the cats hope to see you again the next time we go away.”
“Chris did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. He was reliable, thorough, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos at every visit. He clearly spent real time playing with them and getting to know their personalities, and he even helped with a few things around the house without being asked. I came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book Chris again.”
“Norma was wonderful and did a great jobs with my two cats. Kept me posted how they are doing and made feel good knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again in the future to help with my 2 cats. I highly recommend her.”
“Huge thanks to Anays and Francis for boarding KitKat in their home and taking great care of him while I was away for five days! I really appreciated how communicative they were and the daily photo updates. I highly recommend them!”

“Tom looked after my little pup snooper for a few hours and snooper was calm and happy when I picked him up. I appreciate how prepared they are.. it really conveys another level of care for our pups. We have been there a couple times when in town, and I appreciated their flexibility because I didn’t know how long I would be away. Definitely recommend. Thanks Tom (and debbie)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was about 5 years old. And that was when I received my first pet, a chihuahua mix. I’ve cared for her since she was a puppy and she just recently passed away due to old age. I have the patience to deal with puppies and elder dogs! I love them all! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so I have some down time! I’m available mostly in the afternoons from 2pm - 8pm. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection.

“Brittany took great care of Zelda over the weekend while I was out of town! Zelda is reactive towards dogs and anxious around strangers, but Brittany did great with her and Zelda loves when Brittany stops by to walk her!”
“Malachi was great with my pup (that is the important thing) and very eager to provide me with great service. I would recommend him to anyone. We had a few technical glitches, and there are a few thoughts I think I will share with him privately, but those don’t lower his star rating because he really did provide great service. He was very communicative, respected my property, and took great care of of my dog. You should book him and see for yourself.”
“We have had a fantastic experience with Christopher. He quickly established trust with our dog and has been patient and flexible walking him during the coldest days of the winter!”
About: I've been caring for pets for most of my life and truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and routine. I'm experienced in administering medications, preparing special diets, and providing attentive care for pets with specific health or dietary needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet's time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. I work full-time at a public library, but I love spending my free time caring for pets! 🐾 Before and after work, your pet will have my full attention, with plenty of love, playtime, walks, or cuddles—whatever makes them happiest. During the week, I'm an especially great match for cats and for independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing at home while I'm at work or who have safe, secure access to a yard or indoor potty area. On my weekends off, I have much more flexibility and can devote even more time to your pet. I work at a local public library full time. I am able to check on pets in the AM and PM. On the weekends I have more time throughout the full day. One of my core values is to leave a place better than I found it, if possible. So I clean, keep things organized, and make sure to keep the client’s home nice while I am there.

“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Angela was very welcoming and caring for our Gizmo! From the moment we arrived her and her husband greeted us with open arms. We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!”

“You want a second review? I already told you she was great with my dog, he had a fun time with her dogs and since he was recently adopted I was worried how he would do. He was fine when I picked him up!”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”

“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”
“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”
“Byron and Martha were great hosts and took great care of our Yorkie boys! They sent daily pictures and messages to let us know how the boys were doing, so we didn't have to worry during our trip. I highly recommend them, and I'll be bringing the boys back whenever my wife and I travel again.”
“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!”
“Gage was responsive in a timely fashion and sent me picture updates! He even introduced my dog to a cat (Gage’s cat) for the first time and the cat loved my dog’s energy so much, his cat decided to snuggle with my dog on the bed. So adorable! Thank you, Gage!”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”
“My pup had tons of fun playing with Kathryns dogs! She gave him lots of love and sent me plenty of cute pictures throughout the day. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chisato was INCREDIBLE. I was so nervous to leave our rescue dog for an extended vacation. Chisato gave her SO much attention and kept kept me updated at least once a day. Just one day in to the vacation, I already felt at ease and could relax knowing our baby was in great care.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 20 years, I currently have a Belgian Tervuren puppy who would love the company. I have 1/2 acre fenced in yard. I am home during the day and evening. Dogs can play outside or come inside if they would like. I would be happy to board your dog and make sure they are comfortable coming here. I work at home so pets would be not a problem as I can tend to them al all times. During the evening I can play with them and interact with the dogs so they feel comfortable. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard as well as security cameras so that I can monitor the yard at all times. The dogs love running around in my yard.
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”
