About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.
“Alyssa was amazing! She kept us updated several times a day with texts and pictures of our dog. She was a puppy so we were concerned with leaving her for the first time and Alyssa made she everything was perfect!”
“Ashley was AMAZING! She treated my sweet kitty so well and was extremely attentive to her as well as responsive. She would send me multiple pictures and videos a day and calmed all of my fears of leaving my girl for so long!! Highly recommend her and will definitely book her again in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Princess absolutely had a great time & loved the special attention to her needs. Highly recommend& will definitely book again when we’re back in the area! Thanks for caring for our special girl!”
“Audrey was wonderful! We were in a bind last minute and she saved us. Audrey is very responsive, sent pictures of our boy and put my mind at ease. It can be so challenging finding care you trust for your pets but I would absolutely recommend Audrey and would use her again in the future.”
About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!
“Randy and his wife were great hosts! They kept in contact with us sending us pictures and letting us know how our dog was! They kept us informed during a scary situation when our dog had an unexpected health incident. He was well taken care of and spoiled with all the cuddles!”

“We are so appreciative of Ashley for coming over to take care of our 2 cats! Even though one was a bit more skiddish, she was caring and patient and made sure he still got some loves. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands with Ashley and we hope to have check in on our boys in the future!”
“Maddy was fantastic. She went above and beyond to check on our cat while we were out of town. You can tell she clearly cares about the animals she’s responsible for. We will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we are going out of town. We can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I currently work at Little Traverse Bat Humane Society where I am an animal caregiver! I work alongside cats and dogs, but I spend a lot of time with cats! I’ve been exposed to many different temperaments, needs, and medical. Working at the shelter has given me a ton of experience and confident with being able to work with all ages and types of cats. I have grown up with cats all of my life. I currently have one cat named Charlie. He is the light of my life.
“Chloe did a a fabulous job watching our little girl. She spent lots of time playing with her and gave her ample supervised outdoor time. She even left Cat TV on for our girl while she was away. Chloe sent us multiple updates with pictures and was always very responsive. We are also very appreciative with how much time Chloe was able to spend with our kitty while we were away, ensuring that she did not get lonely. We highly recommend Chloe and will be booking her in the future! :)”

About: In college I worked as a professional pet sitter that was over 20 years ago. Since then I have pet sat off and on over the years in my home and in clients home. I have experience walking lots of dogs at one time. I have experience with horses and cows as well. I also have 5 years of professional pet grooming experience too. I have had family pets my entire life. I currently work part time as a substitute teacher and with my boyfriend at his lawn care business. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to fit pet sitting/ dog boarding/ dog walking in when needed. I have a large yard and live on quite a bit of property. I also have trails behind my house for walking. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live off a quiet road. I will be putting a tie out for dogs that’s what I used in the past for my dogs .
“This is our first time using Rover. It was an outstanding experience. Our initial inquiry was answered quickly. My conversation with Christine allowed me to feel this was a good fit for our dog Rio. The communication was excellent and more than I expected. I received texts, photos and a video. Rio was living his best life today. He got to play with another dog, go for walks and a swim. He is sleeping now after a fun filled day. I highly recommend you book with Christine. I love to shop in Petoskey so I know will be back.”

“Randy took really great care of my girl Cocoa. I received lots of updates and pics during the day to let me know that she was okay and having a good time with his pups. Definitely recommend Randy if you are looking for dog care in the area.”

About: I work at Little Traverse Bay Humane Society as an animal caregiver. I’ve been to exposed to all kinds of dogs and cats. I have experience with animal meds, animal behavior, and the care for them as well. I’ve handled all ages of animals from very young to old. I have also grown up with multiple pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I love all animals and I always make sure that I give the animal the best care possible. I’m currently working part-time at LTBHS. And I am going to school for Zoology! I would love as much experience with animals as I can get! I only work two days a week, so I have a very open schedule to work with! I have lots of experience in cleanliness of animals. As working at the shelter has given me hours upon hours of cleaning experience. I follow directions extremely well and take everything seriously. I understand these animals are your children and will always treat them like my own. I have experience in different temperaments and know how to safely handle them! I love a calm and loving environment with lots of mental and physical stimulation.
About: Fair prices, compassionate, patient, good with all ages of pets, I’ll treat your pet as my own, available almost every time you set up an appointment. I’m currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pet, to be there when you need me to, walk them when they want to, and feed and play with them whenever they bark. I have a decent yard they can run and play in, bunch of toys, and I can take them for walks at anytime, smoke free home, and I’m just a compassionate pet lover.
About: Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, I have made a living out of taking care of them. It was my calling as a young child to become a Veterinarian. I started Pet Well Mobile Vet, the area's only mobile veterinary service, in 2021 to help bring a better level of quality to pet care after seeing how much more relaxed my friend's pets were when I took care of them in their homes. Building that bond through pet sitting is much the same thing. Pets get individualized care and you get peace of mind. As the mobile veterinarian, I can schedule my days as needed. I have the flexibility to do mid-day meals or walk, if needed. I'm almost always done working by 6pm to make sure everyone gets dinner on time and then some evening playtime. All pets will be cared for as if they are my own. I encourage pet parents to write up the normal routine for their baby so I can stick to it as much as possible. I love to send pictures and updates. (I would want them if the roles were reversed.) I also have the ability to care for medical issues that arise during the stay, only with the pet parent's permission of course.
About: I’ve taken Care of animals for about 20 years now. I’ve been dog sitting for 7 years privately for my neighbor and her two dogs. I love all animals and tend to spoil them rotten! We just love snuggling and playing with animals. Just let me know when, where and how often! Im available before during and after work. Message me and we can make a plan! Thanks! I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dogs at her home for about 7 years now. One of her dogs is special needs as well. I do as she tells me. My home is no different. Your pets will receive lots of love and attention. I have plenty of space outdoors as well.
About: I have cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I work at a boarding kennel/ daycare and am used to cues in play when it comes to dogs. I have cleaned up after all of the messes with no issues, and can bath if needed and the animal allows it (extra fee). I can administer medications in all varieties and can comfortably handle shy and reactive dogs. I have leash walked dogs that have recently had acl repairs and can lift over 50 lbs if needed. I work 4 days at my current job from 8-5. I have three days off and can work with you as needed. I have my own car and can travel within reason. I have a fenced in backyard and space to put kennels while your dog rests. I have a three year old Australian shepherd who absolutely loves other dogs. (Shy to people). I have a gate to put up so your dog could have free rein of the living room in the evening and a camera to be able to check in on them.

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.
