“Emily is the best ever!!! She spends quality time with my little Nelly. She keeps me updated with pictures and messages. I can feel so confident when my Nelly is in her care!!! Can’t say enough about her care for my dog”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young and have experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We have a safe, caring environment for pups that will make them feel like they are at home! My husband works from home during the week, and at least one of us is home on the weekends. We have flexible schedules that fit with a variety of pet care needs. We have a Shih Tzu, Woodson, that stays on our main floor with us most times. We do not have a fenced in yard, so we let him out on a leash. We live in a small neighborhood with little traffic. It is ideal for taking dogs on walks, and our neighbors either leash their dogs or have electric fences. Very safe!
“This is my second time using Ashleigh this year and she and her sister always takes such great care of my girls. She sends daily photos/updates and my dogs return home happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Dan gave lots of feedback and sent pictures while Petoskey was there. Him and his wife do a real good job as my dog is a nervous Nelly and he did just fine while I was away.”
“Janelle is outstanding. We have used rover in many states during our travels through the last several years as full time travelers and Janelle is the best!! Great communication and care. Would seek her out whenever possible.”
“Repeat customer here. Goose loves hanging out with Christina, Michael and the family! They take great care of Goose and always send regular updates so I never have to worry while I’m traveling for work.”
“We left our pug with Sherri and her family and were so happy we did! Sherri took exceptional care of our pet and we could tell that she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sherri. She was exceedingly conscientious and caring and Junebug came back to us happy and healthy!!”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“Jenn is PHENOMENAL. My Coco loved her the moment they met, and it was apparent in every single photo that Jenn was taking amazing care of my fur baby! I highly recommend Jenn and I personally will be going to her anytime I need to board my dog! The photos she takes of your fur baby should be on a poster; they’re THAT good! ♥️”
“Felix was AMAZING with our Rose! She is a big puppy and it was her first time away from home, but he was great with her. He took her on walks daily, and sent updates regularly to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use Felix again!”
“Amber was great!! She spoiled our dog with multiple walks a day, lots of interaction with kids (our dog loves people and kids in particular) and she was great with communication! Will decently book with her again!”
“Once again, Katlynn and her family took great care of our dog. They treat him like family and give him all the love and care he needs. She’s responsive and gives plenty of updates and pictures. We will continue to use her when we need care!”

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.

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I’m constantly around fur babies and fully commit to their care.

I am dedicated and follow instructions extremely well, going above and beyond to complete tasks. I have a four year old cat, Aurora, who I tamed and raised myself. I have experience with kitties of all ages.
About: We’ve had a family puppy for as long as I can remember! My brother and I do lots of volunteering between nearby shelters and we also do watch other dogs. My aunt has two German Shepards and a pit-bull that I watch quite often so I have experience with bigger dogs as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8:30-4:30 PM, M-F. I can watch a dog any day during the week and or overnight as long as they can go that long without potty breaks! If the house is nearby I can go on my lunches to let the pets out :) We currently have an electric fence and colar for our puppy and are very cautious any time letting him out. I will give the same care for your puppy any time I am around it!
“Tyler took such great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend, including their strict and time-consuming feeding schedule. He is definitely the type of person that animals adore! Our oldest cat tends to be very shy and always hides from new people, but he warmed up to Tyler immediately- no hiding at all! Tyler consistently had a quick response time and sent plenty of pictures throughout our entire trip. This gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so relieved to have found great pet care! Tyler is the best!”

I’m used to planning my days around caregiving and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time. Since it’s not fenced, dogs are always closely monitored and leashed as needed. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company, and two children who love animals and are taught to be gentle and respectful. Pets are never left unattended. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.

I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online.

My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

He will also accompany me on any weekend drop ins. All pet care will be done by me, but Alex will give them a little extra love when applicable.
