“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”
“Catherine always does great with our dog! He was nursing a leg injury and had some last minute meds from the vet, and Catherine was good about sending updates and giving him the meds as needed. He came home feeling better than when we dropped him off. I highly recommend her!”
“Anna & her family were the best! My dogs (lab & schnauzer/terrier) loved all of the attention they got from everyone! Anna updated me multiple times a day with pics of all of the loving my girls received! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”
“Millie always loves her time with Heavan. Her longest stay to date and she was well taken care of. I don't just trust anyone with my dog, she's treated as an only child and Heavan gets the importance of that. Fair priced and always treats your fur baby as her own.”
“Julie and her husband took such great care of Samantha. They really embraced Samantha and her fun, energetic personality as well as he need for quiet time.

About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Becky was great and really communicative! My frenchie, Max, seemed super chill about his stay at her home and she sent me great photos so that I could be comfortable with his stay also! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Thank-you so much for everything. Rathy was is great hands. I appreciate your help and everything you've done for him. We will be returning so he can play with his new friend.”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“I have an older that needs a lot of attention and Kristen took the time to listen to what she needed and made sure she got her medication. She made sure my dog was safe, and sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay.”
“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”

“I travel a lot for work and don’t always have a lot of notice of when I will be leaving…..I always call on Ashton to help me with my kitty. She is honest, a sweetheart, reliable, and my cat loves her. Thanks Ashton!”
“Catherine was absolutely amazing with my boy. She followed all care instructions and was very patient with my young rambunctious pup. She even went the extra mile in playing with him to get some of that puppy energy out. She took note of the puppy mess in his bed and offered to throw the bed in the wash and replace it with something else before putting him back in the crate. This was my first time using Rover and thanks to my experience with Catherine, I would certainly use it again!”
“I had to be gone for 5 weeks on an externship and Shaira did a fantastic job looking after my pup! She’s very attentive and doesn’t hesitate to contact you with questions or updates.”
“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, my family rescued a cat in 2017, and I have been caring for my own two cats since 2021. Living with cats has taught me that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and reserved, I will provide patient, loving care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had cats in my life for more than 30 years. I know they can range from independent to shy to super affectionate companions. I have had all of these personalities over the years with my current 18 year old cat as a very vocal and affectionate cat. I would like to offer reassurance that I would not only feed the fur baby but play and spend time with them and clean the boxes.
“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”

About: Currently I have a cat, a yorkie poo, two pit bulls and a new puppy that is a Cane Corso! I have helped take care of them for over 10 years and they are all my best friends. I love all different kinds of animals so I volunteer at a pet refuge during the weekends and I want to be a Zoological veterinarian when I am older! Currently I only play volleyball during the week early in the morning so my days are usually always free. During the summer I am most available. I am not sure yet what my schedule will be during the school year but I will update that as soon as I know! In my home I believe that pets respond best when they are shown love and cared for nicely rather than yelling and hitting them like many others do. I want my animals to know that I am safe and that they can trust me.
“Nadia was a joy to work with. Very professional. She kept us informed on the days events. Sent pics & videos of her interaction with our kitty's!

About: I am working on some pretty amazing updates. Additional outdoor yards are in the works, as well as a perimeter fence around the home property! I have also added Tracki to my collars. Tracki runs on global GPS (satellite feedback) and not cellular feedback, giving that extra security for your pups with no interruption in tracking! Bark & Barn is a privately insured in-home kennel that provides overnight and day boarding options as well as drop-in visits/walks for all pets, exotic included. I also provide optional training for dogs. I have five years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a high volume multi-species setting. With this, I have gained the knowledge, training, and experience in animal behavior as well as proper technique in safe animal hold, administering all forms of medication, administering emergency fluids, and animal CPR. Your pups will have access to multiple sections of my home, a fenced play yard, and walks over 120 acres of farm fields and streamed woods! I offer basic puppy training during board and day stays, including potty and crate training. I will gladly accept shark puppies, understanding completely how difficult these pups can be for many caretakers who are not experienced in their breed characteristics. I've worked with and owned dogs for over 17 years. I have a preference for high energy/high drive dogs, though I love all of them just the same. I am a farm mom of school aged children, work remotely, a full-time online student at KCC while my kids sleep, and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I will follow strict biosecurity and safety measures. I am by no means a "doggy playcare". For their and my safety, I do not allow guest pups to interact together. I have sectioned off portions of my home and large basement for roam, and utilize sanitized in-home kennels for overnight and unattended times as well as movement of guests (inside, outside, walks, etc). I currently have full availability outside of school drop-off in the mornings and flexible pick-ups in the afternoon. I spend my free time caring for my own animals and attending online classes and seminars! I have a knack for social cues and when and how to approach. Discipline is and will always be reinforcement based. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand any dog can be reactive in the right setting, so meet and greets are a must! Our personal working dogs are not within the home's boundaries and remain with their flock at all times.
“Having traveled from Florida, I needed a sitter quickly and for several days due to family emergency. Rex took Luna Mae immediately. He was extremely helpful, especially with fluctuating hours. His laid back nature helped me as well. I couldn't believe how excited she got when realizing where we were headed. He did a wonderful job and is really, really appreciated. Thank you Rex. We'll see you in the spring.”

About: I've been caring for animals for 15 years and have had pets my entire life. While living on a farm for many years, I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals, including feeding, watering, cleaning, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and cared for. In addition to my own animals, I've regularly cared for family members' and friends' pets while they were away, providing dependable, loving care and giving pet owners peace of mind. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience while you're away. As a mom and animal lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with the ones you love most. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals, I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet's needs, whether that means regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or sticking to a specific routine they're used to. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness will always be a top priority. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. While my yard is not fenced, all pets are closely supervised when outside. My own dog either uses a secure cable for potty breaks or stays by my side while outdoors and is well-trained to remain close. For visiting pets, I follow the owner's preferences and take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors and are always kept on a leash, cable, or under direct supervision. Inside the home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Deb is a true gem! She took such excellent care of my two little dogs and they came home after both days with her with happy faces and tired bodies from playing. My shy girl, Clover even snuggled and took a nap at her house! AMAZING sitter, highly recommend Deb. She has a house designed for pups and a beautiful, peaceful and huge backyard. She's home most of the time and just treats your dogs with genuine love and sweetness. I am moving too far to use her services again, but sad to say so, because our experience with her was just absolutely perfect. There may be sitters in the Battle Creek area that charge less, but having tried them with very mixed results - I assure you Deb is worth every penny!”
“Julia was so good and did a wonderful job with Gigi. Gigi was so happy and calm when we went Home. I will definitely book her again! Gigi is an older dog and Julia provided the care that made a difference.”

“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.

About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. A typical dog-sitting day with me is filled with love, attention, and plenty of fun. I make sure every pup feels safe and cared for, with lots of playtime, walks, and one-on-one affection. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying cuddle time, your dog will be treated like family while you’re away. 🐾💜

“Catherine always does great with our dog! He was nursing a leg injury and had some last minute meds from the vet, and Catherine was good about sending updates and giving him the meds as needed. He came home feeling better than when we dropped him off. I highly recommend her!”
“Anna & her family were the best! My dogs (lab & schnauzer/terrier) loved all of the attention they got from everyone! Anna updated me multiple times a day with pics of all of the loving my girls received! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine.

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”

“She treated my Mila as her own, sent me lots of pictures- which I loved! She also took her to experience new things & accommodated her as if she was still at home with me! Will definitely book again with her in the future!! 100000/10 recommend”
“Katlynn and her family took great care watching our beloved Mr. Fox, an Airedale Terrier. She went above and beyond our expectations and will board with them again. Thanks so much! ❤️”
