Personalized care for your dog or cat - Calumet

“What an amazing dog care experience with Karma and her family! From the moment I met them, I felt relieved and confident that Ginger and my JRT/Shepherd Mix puppy, Bhageera, would be in safe hands. I was already confident about Ginger, since he is calm and composed. But Bhageera is very energetic and, as a puppy and a working dog, he needs more than just a sitter. Karma and her family completely understood his needs and provided the perfect care while we were on our trip to Isle Royale. Since Isle Royale National Park does not allow pets, we had to find a pet sitter — and we were so lucky we did. As an added bonus, John, Karma’s husband, owns and operates the Isle Royale Queen ferry. What an amazing coincidence and what a wonderful family! Their Aussie Doodle, Max, became Bhageera’s buddy and gave him the stimulation and play he needed. Meanwhile, Ginger was able to relax in a quieter environment. Karma’s kids also helped care for the puppy and made him feel comfortable and loved. Overall, I am beyond happy. This was the perfect combination for our furry family, and we are so grateful for the care they provided while we crossed Lake Superior. We frequently visit the Keweenaw area during the summer and fall, and we will surely be seeking their help during our next visit. I would recommend Karma 100%.”

“Ashley was great to work with! Dropping Ranger off was easy and I felt comfortable that she would take great care of him. She sent some pictures and that gave me some piece of mind since this was his first stay with her. I loved that she also has a senior dog! When we picked him up he was his usual happy, vocal self so I knew he had a good time. Highly recommend d!”

“Despite a very exciting time in their household this delightful couple were babysitting dogs. They have a wonderful set up as far as large fenced yard with plenty of room for large dogs to run and play. A doggie door lets the dogs choose when they want outside time. Although the house rooms seem small for many large dogs around, their lovely hospitality seems to provide comfort. ChampE had a good stay and was well cared for. Thanks to you both. I will definitely use them again when I'm in the area.”

“Sherry and Bob watched our pup, Chestnut, for several days and he had a blast hanging out with them and their (very cute) dogs. Sherry sent me regular updates and photos each day so I knew Chestnut was doing well. I always get anxious when leaving my dog with a sitter for several days, but I quickly felt confident that he was safe and happy with Sherry and Bob.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s cat every winter from December to March since he was young. I stay with him as long as I can every day — doing my homework with him in my lap, taking naps with him curled up by my feet, and eating dinner while watching him pace at my plate. I love cats so much, so I do my best to make them feel loved and cared for while their parents are away.

“Sierra was wonderful with our cat! She was reliable, kept us updated with photos and messages, and our cat was happy when we came home. It was a relief to know that our old cat was in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha was amazing! Not only is she a sweet person but she kept my anxious attached dog calm while I was out! Very flexible and accommodating when plans changed a bit! Will definitely use her again when we come to the area!”

“We very highly recommend Kat for cat drop-in services! She has helped us many times and is always reliable and responsible, she goes the extra mile to help us out and make sure our cats and home are safe and well-cared for.”

“Evah was very dependable and the cats seemed to love her. Their disposition when we returned from our trip was very calm. Evah shared photos daily of them both playing and interacting.”

“Karma's family has been caring for my terrier mix, Ruby while I'm at work. Ruby's tail is wagging when we arrive and she comes home happy and tired. Very good care, beautiful property and friendly dog, too!”

“Ashley did a great job of taking care of my 3 dogs, a senior dog who has limited mobility, an active senior dog and a 4 month puppy with endless energy. Would recommend Ashley and would use her again if we were in the area again.”

“We were in Houghton to visit Isle Royale. The issue was we were traveling in our RV with our 3-year-old Labrador and we didn't want to leave him alone for such a long day. We were lucky enough to find Rylie and I really can't say enough good things about her. She came over three times throughout the day to let our dog out, walk him, and spent time with him. Each time she sent us several new pictures and communicated wonderfully throughout the day. She allowed us to enjoy the day and not have to stress over our dog being watched and taking care of. If we're ever back in Houghton we will definitely use Rylie again!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and more recently cats. I have experience with multiple breeds of dogs, both rescue and bread dogs, and different types of harnesses. I have been dog sitting and walking for six years now for varying amounts of time. I am a college student so my schedule is dependent on my classes and my on-campus job, but I can make my schedule fit around any pet care! needs. I have two dogs of my own so I would be coming to the client's house to care for their pet. For specific rules and training, I would discuss a plan with the owners as to be consistent.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs. I will take your pups on walks, feed them, play with them, entertain them, and also provide some housekeeping as well! I am pretty flexible on times and days that you need me! Let me know and I can try my best to make anything work for you! I can care for your pets in your home any way that you would like. I can get used to dogs who take a little bit to warm up and learn the ways of their personalities.
