“Did a phenomenal job with my big, goofy Sheepadoodle. He did not want to leave and was moping around my house for the next 2 days because he missed all the fun he had at her house with the other dogs (a great sign of a good time). Would highly recommend Roxanne! Plenty of pictures and videos sent as well.”
“We feel so blessed to have found Jody. She has had our Zoey three times now and Zoey is excited to see her and spend time with her. Such a relief for us. We will continue to seek her out!”
“My dog Wilson had a great time with Angela, her fenced in yard is a huge plus giving him plenty of space to run. She sends pictures every day, and provided a meet and greet prior to the stay to make the stay more comfortable.”
“Our little guy had a great time with Caroline. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. She was also very responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking.”
“Rachel & Ivan were wonderful sitters for our dog Piper. She was well cared for and I was sent daily photos and updates. I am so happy to find such wonderful sitters for our dog. A+ service!”
“Sara took amazing care of our boy! We got lots of photos and updates. Maverick had a fantastic time playing with George, their golden. She has a fenced in yard and property for the dogs to run.”
“Tracey took excellent care of our dog Honey while we were in town for the Ironman race. She was welcoming at drop off and Honey took to her right away. I was sent updates and photos during the pet sitting time which gave us relief seeing how well she was doing. I would book Tracey again 1000%. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!!”
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the care and attention my dog received while I was away! Maggie did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after my pup—keeping him happy, and well-cared for. From daily walks and even following my dog’s special routines. It was clear that Maggie genuinely cares about animals. I came home to a relaxed, healthy dog who clearly felt loved and comfortable. Highly recommend! 10/10 would trust again.”
“Perfect in every aspect. I can tell Ghost really enjoyed himself and I was scared he wouldn't want to come back home from all the fun he was having haha. Great service and look forward to booking them again in the future. Thank you very much! Chris”
“Jill is amazing! She has watched Copper now twice and I love her! She sends lots of pictures and is quick to answer when I send a message. I will use her whenever I need a sitter.”
“Again, I am so grateful for the care provided by Kimberly, Jeremy and their family. I am blessed to have their availability when I have to travel for work.”
“Stephanie and Scott took very good care of my dog who took a liking to both of them. I had several pictures about Lucy’s visit and was very pleased to see her say thanks when we left. Highly recommended.”

“From the first meet and greet Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Abigail. She took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation and provided updates and photos during each visit! We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: A house is not a home without pets! I’ve had dogs and cats since I can remember and consider every pet a part of the family. I’ve extensively cared for kittens and puppies, senior pets, and even disabled pets with special needs. I aim to care for your pet as if “mom and dad” never even left and strive for your pet to be at complete ease in my care. I work for myself, so I’m able to essentially customize my schedule weekly based off clients’ needs as well as accommodate any last minute changes fairly easily. I am willing and able to accommodate to whatever your pets’ individual needs may be. Whether that be harnessing, muzzling, running, walking, extra snuggles, or perhaps even a couple meet and greets to gain their trust, I’m ready to meet your pet exactly where and how they need.
“Great cat sitter!! Very attentive to my cat and relaxed him in a way that others have not been able to do. Multiple pics and detailed daily cards were awesome. A great person to have take care of your fur babies. Would highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m 28 years old. I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve worked in the animal field for a long time. I work at a local veterinary clinic during the week. I am currently enrolled in the veterinary technician program as well part time. I do work full time and have a two small kiddos so my schedule is a little busy but I do enjoy the chaos! :) let me know if I can help you find a reliable, trustworthy sitter! I do currently work full time right now, my work schedule is 8-5 Monday through Friday. But I do have an hour lunch as well. I can be available before work and after depending on the schedule and during the weekends. Please message me to find out what works best for you! I will try to accommodate the best to my ability. I will always do my absolute best to follow any instructions you want done with your pet while they are in my care. Just let me know everything.
“Michelle was excellent! She stopped by to get a rundown of my cat’s feeding routine before the dates I was out of town, and she was communicative throughout the days I was away. I felt very comfortable & trusted my kitty was in good hands.”
“Taylor was great! She took good care of my cat Skippy. Received cute pictures daily. She even brought in packages that had been delivered to my house while I was gone. I definitely recommend and will be a repeat customer.”
“Patty was a great communicator from start to finish. She kept us informed on our cats and treated our house well. We would definitely let her watch our house and kitties again. Thanks Patty!”
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.
“Madison was very friendly and communicative, and I felt confident that my cat, Chloe, was under great care while we were away. I will definitely book with Madison again in the future!”

“Poppy was very happy and I know she loved the big fenced in yard and playing with Roxanne’s dog, Bella. I’ve already booked another day and very relaxed and happy to leave Poppy with Roxanne!”
About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Angela is awesome. Our pup had a great time playing in her huge, fenced in yard. She took several pictures during our pups stay and they were much appreciated. She was flexible on timing and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Strongly recommend working with Angela if your camping or stay in in the Empire area.”

“Rachel and Ivan took great care of Stanley, they took him for walks and sent me pictures of him playing throughout the day . They invited me into their home to ensure that I was comfortable and that Stanley got along with their dog. I’m looking forward to bringing Stanley back.”
“Jill was such an angel! I had a family trip in Traverse and although my pup did great at the resort and wineries, we wanted her to be safe and loved when we went to the beach and pool. Jill had amazing reviews and let me not only book same day during a holiday, but also asked if my pup did ok, offered an overnight service to save me some driving time. Jill gave me updates throughout the day, listened to all my directions, sent pictures and really loved on my usually anxious furbaby during her FIRST overnight with a Rover sitter at 15 years old!! Will definitely book Jill again and recommend anyone do the same!!!”
About: Since childhood, I've always had a dog at home, mainly pugs and Aussies. Back home, I use to watch all my siblings dogs as well as watching friends fur babies. I love animals! I’m going back to college (online) so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to go and let a pup out for a walk or even the possibly of sitting at my home. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. The Aussie is high energy and my pug is old and is not bothered by other dogs, he just will not play.
About: Hi my name is Gillian! I recently moved to Traverse City, and I am a registered nurse. I have always been a huge dog lover and have had pups all throughout growing up, so I am experienced in caring for these furry creatures whether it is walking, playing with, or just spending time together. I also adopted a husky named Blu, and he is a sweet, playful love bug. He loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly! He is good with kids as well and appreciates when they are respectful of him. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting, or daycare/ over night care in my home. Please reach out if I can be of service to you and your pup/pups in any of these ways! :) I have a sporadic schedule right now with a lot of free days off! I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pups in your home or mine! I live in a three bedroom home near chums corner. There is a large gated in yard for your pups to play in and it’s a safe area to go on lots of walks as well!

About: I love caring for your pets so that you can relax and enjoy your time away. I enjoy giving them special attention whenever possible based on their specific needs. I have a wide variety of time available to take care of our special family. I am highly organized and can take on a wide variety of clients seamlessly so that you feel as if you are the only client. We are snowbirds so I care for my Northern Michigan clients May thru October, while my Florida clients in the Ocala area are able to book me November through April. I would care for your pets as you direct. We can take walks, play, or simply take care of the bare necessities when your babies are apprehensive to avoid stress. Your requests decide how each visit goes.
About: I’m more than a dog sitter 😁 if you want someone who will play, walk, and entertain your dog, you’ve found your match! I’m the dog mom who does everything with her dogs. I have 3of my own large breed dogs, and fostered 12 others with my husband and enjoyed every moment of it! Most of them were under the age of 1 year old, so we did all the potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I exposed them to different environments, other dogs, and taught them a lot during their time with us which was anywhere from a month to 4 months. I’m reliable and really intentional about the care of animals. I love my dogs as if they were my kids and I’d treat yours with the same care! I have a full time job and can only do weekends at this time! I dog sit because I love it and I know how important it is to find someone who will make my dogs feel safe and happy. I intend to do that for those I serve 😊🐶 Note: I generally do not accept requests for house sitting over 3 nights at a time. I love routine and know how animals can thrive in that even when their humans are gone. So I would be happy to keep consistency for your pet if that means being let out at certain times or walked before you get home etc. For doggy daycare: I have a fenced yard and 3 of my own fur babies who love to play with other dogs! I also have a separate gated area in my home if there needs to be separation at times. For House Sitting: (I won’t accept requests over 3 nights). I will follow the owners preferences and safety measures they have in place. I also recommend meet and greets so I understand how you expect things done/handled.

“Kathryn really got me out of a bind as she was able to walk Maggie twice on short notice. She made sure that I was comfortable with her by taking time to come over and meet the day before. She kept me updated with pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Michelle was great with our 1 year old terrier. We loved the pictures and the updates on when he was going out and coming back from his walk. The meet-and-greet we had a couple of days ahead of time worked out great as well and we appreciated that to ensure everything would go smoothly. We look forward to having her walk our dog in the future! Top-notch!”

About: I have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats.

About: I've used sitters through this site in Michigan for my little girl, Kiera Marie.-It was great! I've done lots of dog sitting and dog fostering too.

I'm also happy to dog sit in either one of our homes. I am always willing to fit a furbaby into my schedule. I have experience with large and small breeds.
