“Rex took EXCELLENT care of my fur baby. Rex sent me a daily photo so I wouldn't miss my dog. Rex kept me updated as to how my pup was acclimating and getting along at his house. Rex asked great questions about my dogs routine and made sure my dog's needs were met. Rex treated my dog like a member of his family. He is an AWESOME sitter. I would definitely book with him again. I highly recommend Rex, for his skills, devotion and for his attention to detail. ☆ Thank You Rex to you & your family for the Loving care you gave my fur baby. ♡ - Lora B.”
“Deb was the best! Barnabas had a blast playing with her two dogs! He was well taken care of. It eased my mind while I was away knowing what a good time he was having. I got up dates every day on how he was doing. Thank you again Deb for taking such great care of Barnabas!”

“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!”
“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”

Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”

“Sasha's experience and manner with Benji has made the transition from Metro Detroit a easy endeavor. Her video and Pic updates and communication were welcome. Sasha, a real professional indeed. Benji's tail wag was the sign that sealed the deal. Benji and I will be looking forward to future stays with our new Dog Whisper 😀”
“Kristopher R. & Family are incredible hosts. Regular updates helped us a lot. Our dog suffered a lot of trauma before his rescue. Usually when he comes home from boarding, he is pretty withdrawn and dirty. Today we picked him up and was himself immediately. Thank you for providing a great experience for not only our dog, but also us!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”

My dogs back in Texas are pit bulls so I’m used to large lovable doggies :) I currently have a one year old golden doodle who loves to play with friends! I work from home so pets don’t go unattended and always have someone to hangout with. I am free most weekends and my significant other is also home to help out with high energy pups. :) I have walking trails around my apartment and wooded areas out back. My partner and I love to go on walks when weather permitting and would love to take your furry friend with us.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats around me my entire life and there’s nothing I love more than keeping my furry friends safe and happy 💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows pet care to be a regular part of my daily routine.

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean and respected. I also will provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have had and sat a variety of cats. I understand that cats need respect of their space and a quick understanding of who they are to be taken care of successfully. I have also been scooping litter for my whole life, so I don't mind continuing that trend.
“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: Looking for holiday or long term sits. I love taking walks and showing love. I've grown up with animals and I've also provided pet sitting for the past couple years. When I was younger I used to ask neighbors if they would "let me" walk their dog. I definitely give pets the attention they want...to the extent that I put off homework and could just spend my whole life petting animals. ; ). Recently I've cared for a dog with IVDD issues that has now recovered during my care. I am available weekdays and weekends. . . I am currently on a remote and shift volunteer type work schedule, leaving me flexible and available for your animal’s routines. . . I can play in the yard with the pal or take them to a fenced in dog park in the area to let their energy out.

I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so can accommodate most needs and I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I prefer to watch and play with your pets in your home where they are most comfortable!
About: What sets me apart is the care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine. I’m comfortable providing extra care for senior pets, pets with special needs, and those who may need medications or additional patience and reassurance. I also believe the little things matter—from keeping food and water areas clean, refreshing litter boxes, maintaining a tidy home, and noticing small changes in your pet’s behavior that may be important. My biggest priority is communication. I love sending regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy, safe, and receiving the attention they deserve. I don’t just watch pets—I build trust with them and their families.

“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.”
“Kelli did a great job watching our energetic puppy, Riley. She sent a picture soon after we left Riley. It was reassuring to see she was doing fine. Riley had an opportunity to play with Kelli's puppy. She came home well cared for and ready for a long nap!”
“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!”

About: I had taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. I have relied on me to walked, feed and bathe their pets. I had also trained 2 dogs with some of the sign language as well to teach the animals to sit and stay with the American sign language. My friends and family have relied on me to take their dogs to the dog park, the beach and go on the morning hike. Just really take care of their animals with the love, respect and support for those need my help for them to enjoy their time or a getaway! I'm currently working from home on my own flexible schedule, I do have a lot of free time in between working online while taking care of the fur animals! I’m also an active person who loves to go on my daily walks or simply just being outside barefoot in the grass with the pets outside to listen to podcasts while watching the fur animals or playing with them indoor/outdoors with their toys. I enjoy being a stay home business entrepreneur while having pets around to keep me busy and balanced. Their cuddles would be the best to receive! First thing first is to care the animals with respect, love and comfort to be in your home. If I was at your house, I am that person that will follow your wishes and expectations of how you would want me to care for your animals. I do clean up after myself when I am at your house and to keep it tidy clean as you like it to be. I also like to step outside with the dogs to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. The cat’s care will be attentive and loving! I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well. I will always ask the owner before assuming or trying things out. I love to meet the animals before starting the whole process to feel it out how the energy goes for us and for your animals too. If it flows great with you, I and your animals then there will be lots of pictures will be shared to you as well!

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies.

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“Julijana is the best! My dogs love her! She loves my dogs! She exercises them well and brings them home tired and happy. She is also great at managing a complicated medicine regimen involving pills, eye drops, and eye ointment for my senior dog, who has a corneal abrasion. I really appreciate her!”

“Our pups had a blast! We had pictures and videos regularly and when we ran into a snag, Katlynn was immediately understanding and accommodating. Will absolutely rebook!”
“James was great with our dog Steevie. We just adopted her a month ago and we're concerned about leaving her so soon but James took great care of her and she made fast friends with his dog. Well definitely book with James if we need to leave her again.”
“Kelli is kind, caring, communicative, and flexible. She has an awesome fenced in yard for safe playtime, and her dog is very friendly & playful with other pups. Definitely recommend and will likely use Kelli’s services again!”
“Rex took EXCELLENT care of my fur baby. Rex sent me a daily photo so I wouldn't miss my dog. Rex kept me updated as to how my pup was acclimating and getting along at his house. Rex asked great questions about my dogs routine and made sure my dog's needs were met. Rex treated my dog like a member of his family. He is an AWESOME sitter. I would definitely book with him again. I highly recommend Rex, for his skills, devotion and for his attention to detail. ☆ Thank You Rex to you & your family for the Loving care you gave my fur baby. ♡ - Lora B.”
“Taya was amazing with Nala. My puppy had a great time and she was so well taken care of. I got lots of pics so I didn’t worry about her at all. Will absolutely send her again!”
“Amanda is amazing and went above and beyond. Her home is adorable and clean. The photos she sent were stunning and captured Joey having a wonderful time. Joey came home very happy! We will definitely book with her again.”
“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!”
“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”
“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our dog while we were away for a week. We loved all the updates she would share and I could see that our dog was very well cared for and absolutely loved staying with Amy. Thank you so much!”
“Sasha's experience and manner with Benji has made the transition from Metro Detroit a easy endeavor. Her video and Pic updates and communication were welcome. Sasha, a real professional indeed. Benji's tail wag was the sign that sealed the deal. Benji and I will be looking forward to future stays with our new Dog Whisper 😀”
“Kristopher R. & Family are incredible hosts. Regular updates helped us a lot. Our dog suffered a lot of trauma before his rescue. Usually when he comes home from boarding, he is pretty withdrawn and dirty. Today we picked him up and was himself immediately. Thank you for providing a great experience for not only our dog, but also us!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Anastasia did a great job with Daisy and sent pictures every day. Her dog River was very friendly to Daisy and they played a lot together. I will definitely use Anastasias care again should we need dog sitting in the future.”
“Ninja seems to have had a great time with Suraya and her family! He was happy, well taken care of and didn't show any signs of stress! She was even able to get him to eat all his meals during his stay so I didn't have to worry much!”
“Draco always has a great time here! Comes back happy and exhausted. Her and her family takes good care of him while i’m gone and sends me picture updates of how he’s doing.”
“My pups loved their weeklong stay with Janelle (and Kevin!)! Janelle went above and beyond with my somewhat “special needs” and raw fed dogs (a puppy and a CHF dog with a strict medication administration routine). Despite a week of nasty humid and stormy weather, Janelle managed to get them outside to play when it cleared up, but they were also content snuggling or napping. I was sent daily reports and pictures. My dogs usually take a bit to warm up to strangers, but this was not the case with Janelle- they were immediately comfortable and returned home happy and well fed. This is the second time with her and I won’t trust anyone else to care for them moving forward!”
“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”
