Personalized care for your dog or cat - Afton

“Shae and Celeste got along so well! Her big yard and dog ginger created an ideal environment for Celeste to feel safe and happy! We were most relieved to get periodic updates about her status during our trip. Celeste was responding really well to Shae and while she often doesn’t come to my husband and I when we call her, she was happily coming to Shae when she called her which showed us that she had a great time at Shae’s place.”

“Kathleen was amazing with our dog! She took her on a last minute booking request and responded to it very quickly. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day while she was caring for our dog. Our dog came back happy and tired and we can tell she was well cared for! We are very happy with her service and will book again if we’re in the area”

About: I've owned and taken care of cats throughout my whole life, and have my own :) They are my favorite animals to take care of.

About: I take care of my senior dog and have since she was a puppy. I love animals and am excited to walk and take care of those you love in your life. I'm working towards my masters and have a part time role, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love to break my work day up by walking my dog, and I would love to walk yours too! I care for my dog through trust and support. I walk and feed her multiple times a day, and I make sure she gets the rest she needs.

About: I have taken care of friend's cats in the past when they travel, but that is it in regard to my cat experience. I like cats, and am very capable of following your precise directions.

About: I have owned cats all my life and enjoy thier company. We enjoy entertaining each other. Private space available if needed for your furry friend.

“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”

About: Hi, my name is Nate. I’ve had a dog next to me since I was a baby. I raised a wild German Shorthaired Pointer from 8 weeks to 16 years. I’m very good with animals and “speak their language.” I can handle them well and sympathetic to their needs. I am a professional pilot and I have 6 days off at a time, every other week, so just looking to fill that time with some cute doggos. Wednesday through Monday. To start I will not spend time at my home with them other than a short visit if necessary. However, I will respect anyone’s home as if it were my own. I am a highly responsible adult and trust can be assured.

About: Hey guys! Im just a midwest girl living my in my midwest world! I have the typical grumpy husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We currently have one pup and two cats but eventually will get more! We are a fun loving family who will give your animal the love it needs while your away.

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. You can trust that I will take care of your fur babies the same as I do my own. They are part of the family and have rules to follow for everyone's benefit and safety.

“Everything went perfectly. Penny was well loved. This allowed us to have a fantastic day on Mackinac Island without worrying about our dog being taken care of.”

“Wonderful family! So welcoming, attentive and kind to our Chevy girl! Lots of video and photo coverage of her day with them along with so much play time and walks at the park. Chevy got along so well with Marley too, which was so lovely. Will 100% use them in the future for our day care needs!”

About: I have loved and cared for many critters in my lifetime. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians. I love them all! We have one dog (Sawyer) and two cats (Marble and Nash). My 8 year old son and I would be the ones caring for your fur babies. My son helps me with the feeding and watering, as well as the litter box and backyard landmines. He gives the animals lots of love and cuddles. I work a lot during the week, but I would be available for any dog walking or drop-in visits before or after work during the week, depending on what we have going on that week. If you're looking for a getaway for a couple of nights, I'm available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. We have a house with 4 acres of unfenced property. Any dogs that are boarded here will be walked on the property regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise. We also have a lot of trails nearby that we could walk if the weather is decent. If your dog is friendly and social, we aren't too far from Gaylord, where there is a dog park. That way, they can get some serious running in!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with a husky and German shepherds. I can handle most to all pet personalities and love forming unique bonds to keep them relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I work from home so including your fur baby into my day and working around any special needs they may require will not be an issue Plenty of land for proper exercise and play, empty hardwood bedroom to keep pet structured but they will have free access to my entire home, which will be clean and free of any potential hazards.

“They were very quick to respond and great communication. Our pup seemed to be very content after we got home. Would recommend Margalina & Joshua”

About: I have cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I work at a boarding kennel/ daycare and am used to cues in play when it comes to dogs. I have cleaned up after all of the messes with no issues, and can bath if needed and the animal allows it (extra fee). I can administer medications in all varieties and can comfortably handle shy and reactive dogs. I have leash walked dogs that have recently had acl repairs and can lift over 50 lbs if needed. I work 4 days at my current job from 8-5. I have three days off and can work with you as needed. I have my own car and can travel within reason. I have a fenced in backyard and space to put kennels while your dog rests. I have a three year old Australian shepherd who absolutely loves other dogs. (Shy to people). I have a gate to put up so your dog could have free rein of the living room in the evening and a camera to be able to check in on them.
