“The best! I seriously can’t think of a better place for my Aussie to stay. They were super friendly and I felt confident that she’d be happy and taken care of. Looking forward to the next time she gets to go there!”
“Thank you so very, very much. Dorothy went beyond the call of duty in taking great care of my puppy and giving I'm plenty of exercise and fresh air. He slept most alleviating after picking him up! Ha!”
“Cheyenne was so great with our dog!! She kept him active and even helped him stop pulling when they went on walks! She kept in contact with us and made us feel comfortable”
“Kendra was so great to work with. Our dogs were happy and got plenty of exercise. She was very accommodating in regards to pick up and drop off times. We would definitely use her again!!”
“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.”
“Our dog has a great time with Madison and enjoys playing with her dog. She is very accommodating with our dogs routines and flexible about drop off and pick up times.”
“Peter was very professional, sent us pictures and took care of our dog. When we picked her up, she was a very happy dog to come back in our arms. He must’ve done something right, HAHA.”
“Hunter was great, he was super responsive on Rover and helped us out big with a last minute booking. His communication was friendly and professional meeting us on time and giving updates throughout the stay. Piper enjoyed playing with his labradoodle, George, and playing fetch. Highly recommend Hunter !”
“Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Christine and Troy were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. They communicated clearly and consistently and it was obvious that they cared deeply about the comfort and safety of our dogs. They gave them heaps and love and attention and let them roam throughout their warm and welcoming home. They catered to the dogs' quirks and individual wants and needs. I would be thrilled to have Christine and Troy take care of our older dogs again.”
About: Hi! I’m Abby — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and I am able to care for your pet throughout the day. Drops-in or in home boarding welcome! I am available 7 days a week! I have 2 beagles that will make your dog feel right at home! We live on a wooded lot in a secluded area. Daily walks provided!
“I reached out to Megan as a last minute booking for our two pups. She was able to take them and was even flexible when car trouble made us very late. She sent photos and updates of them while she had them which helped me feel better. Bella and Strawberry, both under 25 lbs, made themselves at home with 100+lb doggies. Bella is still young and had lots of fun playing with the big doggies. She’s also escaped from our house a couple times. Megan’s yard is very secure. I highly recommend Megan to take care of your pups!!!”
“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!”

“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.”
“Emily really came through! She braved the terrible weather and roads to make sure my pets were taken care of! There was even a hang up with my front door, totally my fault, that she handled beautifully. Communication was excellent, very quick to respond and helpful with any questions and concerns I had. I will definitely use Emily again.”
“As a first time user, it was comforting to work with a professional like Tara. I know my cat Frootie was getting the care he deserved as well as a bit of extra playtime and pets. I would highly recommend Tara!”
“Megan was always on time and communicated well during each visit including great pictures! Megan went above and beyond for our kitties making sure they got their meds and cleaning up after them. I will definitely re-book Megan in the future!”
“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!”
“Jordan was wonderful! She provided a very safe environment for my kitty while I was away. My kitty was safe along with me having peace of mind that she was in good hands! Jordan provided an update every day with no issues! Thank you so so much! I would absolutely recommend 🙂”

“Jenna was a big help when I needed last minute daycare for our dog Goldie. She was very flexible with the drop off & pick up times. She sent a photo & sent updates. She has a fenced backyard which is a relief for me since Goldie is very fast even though she will be 9 next month! I would recommend Jenna & would book her again if needed.”
“Peter communicated promptly about pre-scheduled arrangements and Cora felt very comfortable and happy while with him. His house is located on a beautiful street with old trees alley close by the beaches. We appreciated his last minute availability and will be glad to request dog care again in the future.”
“Dorothy is great with my 1 yr. old puppy. She is patient but consistent with dealing with his puppy energy and lack of focus. I can tell he enjoys being with her. Thank you, Dorothy!”
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, 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.
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 .
“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.”
“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.”

“Emily is awesome!! She took very good care of our Skipper. She was very responsive and on time. She sent us updates and pictures which we appreciated. We highly recommend Emily and will hire her for our future dog sitting needs.”
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 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: About Me Hi! I'm a friendly and reliable dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've looked after my mother-in-law's dog many times and was the regular sitter for my roommate’s pup. I also cared for three medium-sized dogs for a co-worker, including a 3-night stay, making sure they were well-fed, walked, and happy the entire time. I get along with dogs naturally and always treat them like part of the family. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to help. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the best care while you're away! Why Choose Me ✅ Experienced with multiple dogs ✅ Calm, loving, and responsible ✅ Flexible schedule ✅ Great with all breeds and energy levels Let’s chat about your dog’s needs — I can’t wait to meet them! I mostly work part time so I have plenty of time, especially during week days but I can possibly do weekends if I get the request with a couple weeks anticipation I prefer to take care of the pets at the clients home Services Offered • Dog sitting (daytime & overnight) • Walks and outdoor play • Feeding and medication (if needed) • Personalized attention and updates
About: I have loved and cared for many critters in my lifetime. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians. I love them all! We have one dog (Sawyer) and two cats (Marble and Nash). My 8 year old son and I would be the ones caring for your fur babies. My son helps me with the feeding and watering, as well as the litter box and backyard landmines. He gives the animals lots of love and cuddles. I work a lot during the week, but I would be available for any dog walking or drop-in visits before or after work during the week, depending on what we have going on that week. If you're looking for a getaway for a couple of nights, I'm available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. We have a house with 4 acres of unfenced property. Any dogs that are boarded here will be walked on the property regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise. We also have a lot of trails nearby that we could walk if the weather is decent. If your dog is friendly and social, we aren't too far from Gaylord, where there is a dog park. That way, they can get some serious running in!
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 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.
About: I've used sitters through this site in Michigan for my little girl, Kiera Marie.-It was great! I've done lots of dog sitting and dog fostering too. Living in beautiful Northern Michigan, I can't think of a more beautiful area to dog walk! I'm available to take your dog for walks-let’s set up a schedule! I'm also happy to dog sit in either one of our homes. I am always willing to fit a furbaby into my schedule. I have experience with large and small breeds. I am also comfortable sitting for multiple dogs. I have worked with restricted diets and behavioural issues. I have a soft spot for all dogs and I look forward to talking with you soon! My husband and I both work part-time, so one of us can always be with the pups! We will adhere to any feeding schedule that your family is accustomed to. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy the great outdoors! We’ll enjoy many walks and cuddles!! If your pup enjoys it we have plenty of toys to play fetch with too. Your pup will be treated like family! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate just about any arrangement that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! :) Expect lots of walks, playing fetch, dog play dates (if they’re up for it) cuddles, photos for their parents, treats…They will be showered with love!
