Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and cats in my lifetime. I currently watch my son’s dog when they travel. I have a large home and 2/1/2 acres in a country setting . We are retired and would provide many hours of care towards your pet.we are available anytime throughout the week.Your welcome to visit my home prior to sitting. I live on 2/1/2 aces in a large log cabin in a country sitting. I don’t have any pets as of now and this would fill that void. I’m currently on list to take care of pets for active duty military when they are deployed. I’m also a veteran and active in the American legion.
“Felix was amazing with our pup! It was his first time without us since we got him and we were pretty nervous with how things would go, but our dog Chuck ended up having a great time! Felix sent regular videos and pictures and would send more whenever requested. We never had to worry about Chuck and knew he was having fun! The meet and greet before hand also helped relieve some nerves seeing the house and getting to meet Felix beforehand. We will definitely use Felix again with any of our dog sitting needs in the future!”

“Winston always has a great stay with Sheli! She does a good job of sending updates and fun pictures which helps keep me at ease knowing he’s being well taken care of while I’m away.”

“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of our dog Grady! We received photos or videos every day. She took him on many walks and he was well cared for. If needed, i will definitely use Courtney again!!”
“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”

“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”

“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Jenn and her son took amazing care of my doggo! She really loves animals and was very easy to communicate with. My dog got lots and lots of play time and I got some very nice photos while I was away. Would highly reccomend Jenn. ???”

About: Current Availability: Monday-Friday: 3pm-9pm, perfect for 2nd Shifters! I also offer overnights as "daycare"! Weekends: Open Availability. I have been a pet owner and lover for the last 30+ years with most of my experience with dogs, cats, and horses. My experience includes all species of household pets (limited experience in reptile care), livestock, and most birds. I have had cats my whole life and have rescued, fostered, and even hand-raised kittens. I do not discriminate based on breed so your pitty-pals and other "aggressive" labeled dog breeds are welcome. ❗IMPORTANT: I require a Meet & Greet with every animal I care for. This is a personal as well as professional preference to ensure safety and quality of care for the animal. I do NOT do sudden drop-offs so please plan ahead to ensure you have time to schedule a M&G before service starts.❗ I'm currently working full-time Monday thru Friday 5 am-2 pm in Kentwood, MI. Depending on your location, I can be available for walks or drop ins as early as 2:15 pm. I will only board one dog at a time, and up to two cats. Boarded cats will be kept in a separate bedroom away from my own to ease stress. Long-term boarding for all animals may be possible and considered on an individual basis. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats in the home. Both dogs are females, one spayed (rescue) and one who remains intact with plans to spay July 2026 when she is 2. I do not have a fenced in yard so boarded dogs will have to be on a leash or 20ft. longline (not tie-out) while outside. I'm in a community offset from major roads that allows me to walk dogs safely and I live only a few miles from Grand Ravines Dog Park. I am planning on adding a few Sniffspots that I can utilize if preferred.

About: I’ve always had cats growing up and loved them so dearly! I have my own cat that I love and adore with all of my heart!

“Gave my boy a wonderful active day. Lots of walks and boy was he tired out from the day. Lots of playing and attention. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook with Samuel if we come back to this part of the state. Made our anniversary trip so easy knowing he was safe and well taken care of. ❤️”

“Samantha has completely exceeded our expectations and has been so wonderful to our puppy! She watched Felix every day for us this week and has been beyond helpful/flexible and amazing with our work schedules. She keeps me well informed and updated throughout the day and sends the CUTEST photos. So cute I’m going to have to get some of them framed. I know he’s been walked and has had sufficient play time just by how tired he is when coming home. With him being a puppy, he chews and gets into things he isn’t supposed to. I can tell from Samantha’s updates that she is patient and works with him on behavioral issues. We feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and are excited to take Felix back next week!”

We will definitely use Felix again with any of our dog sitting needs in the future!”

“Winston always has a great stay with Sheli! She does a good job of sending updates and fun pictures which helps keep me at ease knowing he’s being well taken care of while I’m away.”

“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”

“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”

“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: Current Availability: Monday-Friday: 3pm-9pm, perfect for 2nd Shifters! I also offer overnights as "daycare"! Weekends: Open Availability. I have been a pet owner and lover for the last 30+ years with most of my experience with dogs, cats, and horses. My experience includes all species of household pets (limited experience in reptile care), livestock, and most birds. I have had cats my whole life and have rescued, fostered, and even hand-raised kittens. I do not discriminate based on breed so your pitty-pals and other "aggressive" labeled dog breeds are welcome. ❗IMPORTANT: I require a Meet & Greet with every animal I care for. This is a personal as well as professional preference to ensure safety and quality of care for the animal. I do NOT do sudden drop-offs so please plan ahead to ensure you have time to schedule a M&G before service starts.❗ I'm currently working full-time Monday thru Friday 5 am-2 pm in Kentwood, MI. Depending on your location, I can be available for walks or drop ins as early as 2:15 pm. I will only board one dog at a time, and up to two cats. Boarded cats will be kept in a separate bedroom away from my own to ease stress. Long-term boarding for all animals may be possible and considered on an individual basis. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats in the home. Both dogs are females, one spayed (rescue) and one who remains intact with plans to spay July 2026 when she is 2. I do not have a fenced in yard so boarded dogs will have to be on a leash or 20ft. longline (not tie-out) while outside. I'm in a community offset from major roads that allows me to walk dogs safely and I live only a few miles from Grand Ravines Dog Park. I am planning on adding a few Sniffspots that I can utilize if preferred.
“My dog stayed while I was visiting friends in the area. Frances obtained appropriate information on the dog so I felt secure that she had the proper information. Frances sent photos periodically. My dog g s eked secure and happy while there.”

“Pamela is a great dog sitter. Hazel loved her and was worn out from playing. I’m sure she can’t wait to go back for another visit. Thank you again Pamela, for taking such good care of our pup.”

“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”

“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”

“Finley had a great time with Kristin and Dan and their daughter! He got lots of love and snuggles and seemed very comfortable in their home. We appreciated the pictures and the great communication, and we will definitely have Finley stay with them again in the future!”
