Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elberta

“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!”

“We had a last minute change of Christmas plans and were so grateful that Angela was available over the holiday! She was so helpful and sent pics every day to let us know our pup was having so much fun with hers. It was our first time leaving our Maya with anyone and we felt assured that she was being well taken care of! We will definitely use Angela again in the future!”

“Kim and Jeremy took such amazing care of our 2 boys. It was our first time leaving them and we were a little concerned how they would do. We quickly learned there was nothing to worry about. Our family began to joke that our pups were at "Club Med" while we were away. They received so much love and attention while we were away. Kim and Jeremy made them feel like they were "home away from home" We received pictures most days which made us happy and miss them a little less seeing them having such a great time. We will use Kim and Jeremy again and would recommend to anyone”

“Jody takes great care with our girl. Levi is well cared for and always comes home real happy. Jody always sends updates and pictures. I think her home and pets are one of Levi's happy places.”

“I found that the Jennifer and Joe took very good care of LaVerne and Shirley from the morning of 6/21 until 1:30 6/22. I would be happy to have them watch the girls again.”

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.

About: I had 3 cats growing up and live with my sisters now. She is a senior cat so we always have to remind her where the bathroom and her food are. I love all the kitty ours and cuddles!

“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!”

“Angela has been excellent to work with. Our plans tend to be pretty weather dependent and Angela has been a vacation saver a few different times with us. Our pup always comes home happy and tired. She communicates well, is easy to work with and is much appreciated by our family.”

“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!”

Annette B.

“Maggie was great with Dexter! Now that it’s warmer because he is a smushy face and all black he has issues regulating temperate. As such, I have various cooling bandanas and vests. Maggie was very good about putting them on to make sure Dexter stayed cool in the heat. Highly recommend!”

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: 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 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.

“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”

“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”

“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.”

Bryan T.

“Marg and Caleb were fantastic! They were easy to communicate with and they were incredible with both our girls! Would highly recommend using them!”

“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.”
