Personalized care for your dog or cat - Donken
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Donken
“Our dogs were well loved while we were away. We had pictures of adventures and care throughout their stay. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies while we were away”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my senior rescue dog that is a large breed. Stella had only been with me four months before I needed to board her for a week. I was concerned about leaving her in a kennel due to the fact that she had lived in a shelter for more than a year. Ashley took very good care of Stella and allowed her to spend plenty of time soaking up the sun in a fenced yard. I received updates and pictures letting me know how Stella was doing. 👍🏼”
“Marcy did a fabulous job taking care of Tanner for a few days while we visited Isle Royale National Park. She took him for long walks, played with him in the back yard, took him berry picking and to the beach and provided a loving “home away from home” for him during his stay. She sent me regular updates and photos of the little fellow to put my mind at ease that instructions for his feeding, medication, and care were being followed precisely and he was doing well. I couldn’t recommend Marcy more highly and would love to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future if we are back in the area.”
“JaLynn and Benjamin did a wonderful job watching our 8 month old pup while we were away for the weekend! He had a great big yard to romp around in and a friendly golden retriever to make friends with. JaLynn was very responsive and sent lots of updates and photos, which was great for our first time away. Would highly recommend booking with JaLynn and Benjamin.”
“Suz was wonderful! She really cared about our two Goldens! She took them for walks and allowed them time to play in the yard. We were sent plenty of pictures and updates as to how things were going. We will book with Suz again for sure!!!”
“I was going to Isle Royal on the Isle Royal Princes out of copper harbor and they don't allow dogs in the park. Karma and her family took care of Kona during while I visited the park. Karma and her family took great care of my senior dog, Kona. Kona enjoyed her stay and was pampered by everyone. She's a senior dog, so she had some special requirements and medications, and they took care of everything. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Woody spent the day with Whitney and we picked him up tired and happy. Playing with Walker, another GSP, obviously agreed with him. Whitney will be caring for Woody again as we feel very comfortable leaving him with this Rover host!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Donken
“Ashley is amazing! We have a new GSD puppy who’s 10 weeks old, she’s exactly what you expect, full of energy and biting. Ashley watches Bean twice a week while me and my fiancé are at work and unable to be home with her. She does a great job at sending us photos, videos, and keeping us informed on how Bean is doing. We feel great about leaving Bean with her, she really gives us peace of mind that Bean is not only safe but having fun too. P.S. We were the cancelled booking, we booked Ashely the night before the date Bean would’ve been with her and Ashely was more than willing to take Bean for the day on such short notice! Unfortunately she got sick, which happens to the best of us 😅”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper & Mo! I was thrilled that they settled in so quickly and hung out with your crew. It was great peace of mind to know they were in loving care all day.”
“Cosmo had a great day with Karma and company! Thanks so much for welcoming our pup into your family for the day. We’ll be back! This was our first outing with Rover and i am very happy we tried it.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Donken
“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: Hi, I'm JaLynn! I offer pet sitting services including drop in visits, dog walking, bathing and in-home dog boarding. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and more so your pets will fit right in! I'm also a SAHM to a sweet 1 yr old girl, and a gentle Golden Retriever named Yetti who loves company. We live in the country with a large fenced in backyard where your pets can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My aim is to be a dependable and helpful resource for your family to make your travels a little less stressful. I am a Stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible during the day for daycare. My husband also works from home so typically if I'm not home, he is! I generally am most free in the mornings and evenings for drop ins. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door so your pet will be able to play as much as they desire. I also have a friendly golden retriever who loves company! I do have a 1 yr old daughter so all in home stays will need to be experienced and friendly with kids.
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.
