About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“Lisa is the bees knees!!! She was so communicative and accommodating. I was nervous but in a pinch and needed to put my trust in someone to watch a very special member of my family. She exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. She was personable and friendly to me too. What an absolute pleasure. Thank you Lisa!!!!!”
“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”
“I cannot say enough about the awesome puppy-sitting experience I had with Stephanie and Scott (and their super great dog, Rosie)!! I am new to the Rover experience and had to leave my 13-week old puppy and was nervous about leaving. From the start, Scott and Steph put me at ease and even offered a meet up beforehand so we and our dogs could meet. I was updated daily, sometimes more, with video and photos and I could see immediately that my puppy was in the best hands I could imagine; it was like a vacation for my puppy, too! They really take an interest in making it a great experience and environment for their pet guest. Rosie was very gentle and tolerant of a very active, playful puppy and Sophie and Rosie are now best pals! We will definitely use Scott and Steph again without any hesitation!”
“Michelle was so sweet to our elderly blind terrier. She was understanding of his special needs and medications. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Michelle is a great sitter and we will use her whenever our schedules mesh.”
“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! Our daughter’s wedding was on this day and she stayed with our two dogs at the resort during all of the wedding festivities. She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)”
“It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were quite nervous. Amanda was great. She communicated often and sent so many pictures. Stella was very well taken care of.”
“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!”
“Roxanne has kept our dog twice now. He is so happy with her and she sends pictures and videos. She answers messages quickly. Our dog has some anxiety and feeding issues and Roxanne is awesome to help him with medicine and keeping him calm. He never wants to leave! She is wonderful and I’m so thankful to have found her (Clyde is too, lol!)”
“Marg was wonderful with our very high demand puppy. She provided lots of pupdates and gave him so many fun opportunities to get his energy out on special adventure walks. I would recommend Marg to anyone.”
“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.”
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Lucy. She and Dave have a large fenced-in yard and took Lucy on several walks. She was excellent at communicating, including sending photos and videos. Will definitely hVd her board Lucy again!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.
“GusGus definitely gives Coleen 5 stars, and so do I! Our little rescue guy spent 4 days with Coleen and her husband and was happy and relaxed the entire time. He got lots of cuddles, walks and care. It was our first time with Coleen and surely will not be the last. The communication was clear, the atmosphere warm and friendly and the loving care was evident.”

“Tristin was great with my 2 kitties. One of my kitties gets very anxious when I am away and sometimes makes messes outside the litter box. Tristin went above and beyond doing some cleaning when this happened. My cat even came out of hiding a few times when he was there. And that is saying a lot. I can not recommend Tristin enough.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that cats thrive on routine, patience, and a calm environment. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to observe from a cozy hiding spot, I’ll respect their personality and care for them at their own pace. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime (if they’re interested), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep an eye on their overall well being and let you know if I notice anything unusual. I understand how much peace of mind matters while you’re away, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make your absence as stress free as possible, for both you and your cat.
“Alexa did a great job taking care of my two cats, Tilly and Opal. She sent pictures and updates so I didn't worry while we were gone. When we returned home the cats were healthy and happy.”
About: The most experience I have with cats is from having two of my own. I raised one since she was a few months old or so. She’s about 4 years old now. I have roughly 4 years or more of cat experience. I still have more to learn with cats and I’m learning every day with my cats at home.
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 21-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.
“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!!”
“Noah was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and made me feel very confident in Sisko's care. He sent pictures every day, as we agreed to, and sent extras if asked. My apartment was left in great shape and Sisko seemed in good spirits. Would 100% recommend, and 100% consider hiring for another stay.”
“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!”
“Jill has always taken excellent care of our kitties. She is very reliable and does a great job communicating their status and cares given. Lots of pictures too. We highly recommend her to watch over your pets!!”
“Tiffany gave us so much peace of mind, dropping in on our two cats while we were away. She sent great photos, updates, and even took our garbage cans to the curb when we forgot! I would definitely recommend her to anyone, and hope to have her back when we travel again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jordan was wonderful! She provided a very safe environment for my kitty while I was away. My kitty was safe along with me having peace of mind that she was in good hands! Jordan provided an update every day with no issues! Thank you so so much! I would absolutely recommend 🙂”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Copemish
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.
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing. I had a suprise visit from my family on a friday evening and wanted to bring them into Traverse City for the day, Lindsey responded first thing in the morning and was very accomadating. She was kind, asked about our pup, and made sure we felt so comfortable all while giving us updates throughout the day. I will absolutely be using her more as time goes on. If you have a pup who needs services like this please go see Lindsey, she will not disappoint.”
“Our golden, Amari, had a wonderful day with Angela! We were traveling in the area to do some kayaking and cycling and we really appreciated Angela's care of Amari so we could do those activities. Amari had fun playing with Angela's dog in the big fenced yard on a beautiful day. She took to Angela right away and was a happy camper when we picked her up. Thank you, Angela! We look forward to seeing you again on our travels. Steve and Gin and Amari”
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!
“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!”
“We hired Brooklyn for 2 days of doggy daycare as we were camping in the area and wanted to do some long distance trails that our senior pup can no longer manage. Brooklyn was quick to communicate and was extremely responsive from the moment we inquired about her watching our dog. She did a wonderful job, sent us photos and when we picked up our dog she was busy playing with Brooklyn that she didn't even want to come home with us. Brooklyn was great and we appreciate her helping us out so we could enjoy all the wonderful trails in the area. If Brooklyn is still in the area when we come to the area next year I will make sure to check with Brooklyn first to see if she's available for watching our dog!”
About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.

About: I have a strong passion for caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and patience I give to each pet. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra patience, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet like they are my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and care Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m organized and good at following routines, so I can easily stick to each pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care they need. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to and make a priority in my weekly routine When caring for pets, I adapt to their needs and the environment—whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. In my own home, I create a calm and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and cared for at all times, while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.
About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I gave rescued and fostered all sizes and breeds. Dogs have filled my homes with love and joy and I look forward to sharing my large fenced back yard with a playful puppy or a well seasoned frisbee catcher I currently work three days a week, no more than 6 hours per day. I can visit twice daily, depending on location if a walk is needed. If I am pet sitting or boarding the pets will not be alone for more than 5 hours at a time. I have a large fenced yard with a 1/4 mile walking path just beyond the gate, backing up to Haliburton Park. I am also just 10 minutes from Carolina Beach State Park and the dog park if your pup likes to socialize

“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.”
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.
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.

“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!”
“So sweet we originally booked her for the weekend that ended up not needing her and she was so understanding and flexible. Very good at communications and responsive. Sent photos too! 10 out of 10 would use her again”

About: Hi there! My name is Solea, and I’ve spent my entire life around dogs. I currently work in the pet care industry and have professional experience in dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and general pet care. Through both my personal and professional experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve owned multiple dogs throughout my life- including having up to seven dogs at one time- which has given me extensive experience managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra attention, or somewhere in between, I provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My boyfriend, Dom, is also highly experienced with dogs and has spent most of his life working with and caring for them. Like me, he has experience in dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and general pet care settings. He also has experience with training, administering medications, and helping care for dogs with a variety of needs and temperaments. In addition, he is CPR certified, providing an extra level of preparedness and peace of mind. One of our favorite things is working together and spending time with dogs. We make a great team and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences. Between the two of us, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection. We understand that every dog is unique, and we treat every pet like family. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring and experienced hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. Whether your pet needs daytime care, overnight stays, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to work with you to find the best arrangement. I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I stay attentive to their needs throughout the day and always try to understand their behavior and energy so they feel at ease. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have—whether that’s feeding routines, medications, playtime styles, or anything else that helps your dog feel most comfortable. My goal is to keep things familiar, calm, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.
“Taylor was very patient with Whiskey as it was her 1st experience with a walker and she was nervous. I will definitely have her back and do believe her and Whiskey will be the best of friends”
About: Hi my name is Marg I don’t work a typical 9-5 job and am in town every other month. I am a merchant mariner and work on a boat every other month, so when I’m home I’m able to fully dedicate my time to watch dogs and cater my schedule and needs to my clients.

Please message me with any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Marg I watch dogs part time when I’m not working on freighters , this allows me to dedicate all my attention to clients when I’m not working. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for your dog to play and run around. I will also take your animal on long walks and care for him or her as my own.
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 feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to experience Rachel as our dog sitter. She communicated well throughout her stay with pictures as well. She was so friendly and reliable which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Jax really enjoyed his stay with Nikki, her pup and family! Nikki took great care of him and sent pictures and video. Her home was very welcoming, and the fenced in backyard was a definite plus!! I will definitely call upon Nikki again next time I need a caring sitter for my pup!!”

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“I cannot say enough about the awesome puppy-sitting experience I had with Stephanie and Scott (and their super great dog, Rosie)!! I am new to the Rover experience and had to leave my 13-week old puppy and was nervous about leaving. From the start, Scott and Steph put me at ease and even offered a meet up beforehand so we and our dogs could meet. I was updated daily, sometimes more, with video and photos and I could see immediately that my puppy was in the best hands I could imagine; it was like a vacation for my puppy, too! They really take an interest in making it a great experience and environment for their pet guest. Rosie was very gentle and tolerant of a very active, playful puppy and Sophie and Rosie are now best pals! We will definitely use Scott and Steph again without any hesitation!”
“Michelle was so sweet to our elderly blind terrier. She was understanding of his special needs and medications. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Michelle is a great sitter and we will use her whenever our schedules mesh.”
“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! Our daughter’s wedding was on this day and she stayed with our two dogs at the resort during all of the wedding festivities. She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)”

“Roxanne has kept our dog twice now. He is so happy with her and she sends pictures and videos. She answers messages quickly. Our dog has some anxiety and feeding issues and Roxanne is awesome to help him with medicine and keeping him calm. He never wants to leave! She is wonderful and I’m so thankful to have found her (Clyde is too, lol!)”
“Marg was wonderful with our very high demand puppy. She provided lots of pupdates and gave him so many fun opportunities to get his energy out on special adventure walks. I would recommend Marg to anyone.”
“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.”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.
About: I started my pet care journey as a dog walker at age 9, and have found great joy in pet sitting over the years. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages and personalities, and now specialize in in-home boarding where your pets are treated like part of our family. My home offers fenced acreage for safe, supervised running and play, along with structured walks and trail runs for those who need a little extra. After playtime, there’s always a warm bed, or a cozy spot on the couch, waiting for naps and snuggles. With degrees in Wildlife Biology and Zoology, I bring not only a deep love for animals but also a professional understanding of their behavior, needs, and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I split my regular work schedule with 3 wfh days each week. We are an early rising family who enjoy spending time on our homestead. We have several resident pets on the farm: 20 sheep, 2 mini donkeys, chickens and one beloved mutt. Our regular routine involves a 1 mi walk in the am and pm with lots of other opportunities throughout the day for supervised fresh air or playtime in one of our fenced 1 acre pastures. Safe and secure, a ball lovers paradise! I’m comfortable treating your pet as my own with specialized treatment or care as needed. We have 2 respectful preteen boys in the household so kid friendly dogs are an absolute must.
“Dan was very easy to coordinate given my logistics were a moving target. If you have a senior & friendly dog Dan is a gem! He’s patient and kind and his Senior dogs are lovely and welcoming to both humans and new canines! I highly recommend Dan!”
“Timber enjoyed his stay with Maggie! The temps were cold, but Maggie still took him on a walk and ensured he had the right amount of time inside and outside. She was attentive to his curious temperament and showed him a lot of attention. I highly recommend Maggie and we’ll book in the future.”
“Bob kept our dog safe and happy. He was quick to respond always, and sent a couple photo updates daily, as I requested. Our dog loved playing with Bob’s dog, Parker, while we were away. :) Bob goes above and beyond - he took our dog to the lake several times and on a couple walks daily. He is very knowledgeable and reinforced some training while we were away.”
