“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with Onyx! She sent me updates every day along with pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was obvious that Onyx was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Kelly again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Sabrina along with her husband and children spoiled chance all weekend. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup. I’ve loved getting all of the pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Sabrina for any of your pet care needs.”
“Logan (and Grace) were great! His communication was quickly responsive initially, and regular on a daily basis including pictures of how happy Mocha was during her stay. We are very protective of Mocha, and Logan made sure she was safe and getting along with their cat and one other dog they were caring for during part her stay. I know if they were not getting along he would have kept them separate and protected her. But turns out they all got along. I won’t hesitate to use Logan as my first choice if we ever have need for a caretaker in the future. Thanks Logan!”
“Ralph was great! I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog with him. He was able to administer eyedrops and oral medication to her and I never had any doubt that she was in good hands. I would absolutely re-book with him. :)”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”
“Marv had a great time staying with Jessica and her fellow beagle, Barry. We had just adopted Marv and we were nervous leaving him for so long but he did great and seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We will leave Marv with Jessica and Barry again!”
“Kayti was great. We did a meet and greet with her dogs to make sure they would be a good fit with Mr. Yukon and they were. It gave me peace of mind that he would be safe and have lots of fun.”
“Chelsie has a great setup for boarding your dogs. She communicates with updates daily. Drop off and pick up are super easy. Will definitely be utilizing again. Appreciate and trust her taking care of our dog!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“Greta ia AMAZING!! She took great care of my Louis while I was away also keeping contact with me and sent pics of his activities. I will definitely hire her as a sitter in the future and recommend anyone who is in need to hire her!!☺️”
“Brittany provided EXCELLENT care for my Chica! She sent plenty of updates and photos so that I was able to truly relax on my vacation. I would recommend her services to everyone and definitely would like to rebook with her. She is a gem!”
“Jesse & her family are an excellent fit for our Lexi. They board only one client at a time & that was good for our dog who has ACL injury & should not play with other dogs or have vigorous activity for now. Lexi came home happy! Often times she is clingy & anxious with much pacing when she’s been boarded- she did great getting acclamated to home. I felt they treated her as one of the family. We’ve already booked her with Jesse!”
“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”
“Lynda and Walter were. Freaking. AMAZING!!!! Snips came home full, dirty, and tired! Lol. I LOVE that he was dirty! I know that sounds weird, but to me, that means he had PLENTY of playtime! :D I received photos, videos, and updates throughout my furbaby's stay. I even got a few extra updates if I asked for one, when I was missing my furbaby! :') Lynda's and Walter's furbabies were a perfect match for mine. Will be using them again for sure!”
“From the moment we arrived at Jacklyn's place my fur baby was relaxed and happy. Jacklyn is a good communicator. I texted her that we were running a 15 minutes behind to pick Baddoo up and she got back to me right away. I received updates and pictures. It's nice to know that if I want another Frankenmuth getaway that there is a great sitter available!”

“I hired Levi to watch my cat while I was gone on vacation. Levi promptly responded to my messages. He met with me on videochat to soothe my worries about leaving Dodger. He reassured me with patience and care. Levi was careful to make sure he understood all my instructions. His communication was excellent. He texted me while he was at my house and sent me pics of Dodger as I had asked him. Levi is a very mature, responsible, thoughtful pet sitter. My Dodger was well taken care of. ❤️ Thank you, Levi!”

Thank you Jennifer!”

About: I have had dogs/cats since a child. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a a sucker for animals lol. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I currently go to school 2 days out of the week but they are night classes Monday and Tue at 6pm to 10:30. So availability is pretty open.

“Jaclyn is caring and detailed. Our four kitties love her! We just finished a 12 day vacation and the pictures she sent helped us know that they were just fine while we were away.”
About: I have raised two large breed puppies, three shelter dogs, and two cats. I have been running my pet sitting business for 9 years. I have been certified through my job as a dog trainer where I was trained to use positive reinforcement training as well as recognize and read signs of dog behavior and stress. I am also in training to be a dog groomer as well. Your dogs comfort is my top priority, I treat every dog as if it was my own, I strive to keep them on the routine they are accustomed to. I'm comfortable with all ages, breeds, and training levels. I am available 7 days a week from 7Am to 7Pm, feel free to send me a message to see how I can accommodate you and your pet!
About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
“Megan was absolutely incredible with Harley! She was prompt, sent photos and updates with each pop in. Her communication is amazing. She also helped me out with a last minute emergency pop in. She is really a great sitter and I'm so glad we chose her!!!”
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
About: Hi! I’m Carla, and I’ve had cats in my life since I was a kid. I grew up caring for kittens, seniors, special-personality cats, and the occasional “I’ll love you from a distance” type — so I’m comfortable with just about any feline temperament. I can’t have cats at home anymore because my husband is allergic, so getting to care for other people’s kitties is something I genuinely enjoy! I love giving them attention on their terms — whether that’s playtime, brushing, quiet company, or simple check-ins with food and litter. I’m gentle, patient, and mindful of each cat’s comfort level. I pay close attention to details and routines so your kitty stays stress-free and well-cared-for while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves cats and will treat yours like the special soul they are, I’d be happy to help!
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
About: The second I moved out of my parent’s house I chose to get a pet cat. For the past almost 4 years we have grown so close together. I’ve learned through friends and meeting other cats, that each cat has their own VERY distinct personality and boundaries. I love to learn about each cat I meet and figure how we best mesh while we are together.
About: I've worked with animals off all kinds, ages, sizes, and requirements since I was 10. Everyone i know comes to me for pet help/care. I take a special intrest in training. I currently have a border collie mix who i practice sports such as agility and bikjoring. She also love trick training and obedience training. I was in a vet course in high school for two years so I've got plenty of experience with all sizes and species of animals. There i learn how to give oral medication, signs of parasites/disease, dog body language and the importance of mental & physical stimulation that sent me on my way to being a dog nerd. My job has me working weekends during the slow season and being an active person I need something to fill my off time. So I have Monday- Thursday to work with your schedule. I have worked with reactive animals as well as own one so im exceptional at dog body language and i focus on making a dogs walk/Visit as stress-free as possible. My experience with reactive dogs helps me stay patient and calm in stressful situations.
“Lucilla was great! This was my first time using Rover and it did not disappoint.

“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Hank loved his stay at Sarah’s! He was able to spend a lot of the day playing outside with other dogs and was tuckered out when we picked him up (which was perfect). Sarah communicated with us throughout Hanks stay and leading up to it. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for dog care.”

I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—senior snugglers, shy pups, high-energy adventurers, and everything in between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every animal and home with genuine care and respect. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Whether they enjoy calm cuddle time, enrichment walks, or playful companionship, I adapt to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment. I spend quality time in the home so pets receive companionship, consistency, and a sense of normalcy while you’re away. I pride myself on leaving your home the same — if not better — than when you left. For clients who would like extra help while traveling, I’m happy to assist with home refreshes, deeper cleaning, organizing, plant care, or other agreed-upon household tasks for an additional fee.

I am an animal lover so I know this is the perfect opportunity! I am currently working a full time job but anytime after 6:30pm I am available. I do have weekends off so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I live in a pet friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood that’s super close to the rail trail so perfect for walks! In my home I do have a friendly cat his name is Bentley!
“Lucilla was a life saver! We had someone cancel on us last minute, and she was willing to jump in to help make sure our fur baby was taken care of. She is great at communicating and flexible. Highly recommended her!”
About: I currently work at a dog kennel and just looking for extra income. I love my job and treat all of our dogs like I do mine. This is the slow period and I have extra time so I figured I would look for extra income. What better way than to find more pets to love and care for. I am available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I do have a special needs daughter who is 17 that will be with me if it is away from my house. I know each pet will be different from the last but I will care for your pet the way you do. We can sit and discuss the routine your pet is use to and go from there.
About: I have decades of experience caring for pets. References available. Your pets will thank you for leaving them in my care. Professional, compassionate care guaranteed. I have a flexible schedule and can provide the amount of care your pet needs. I can walk, feed, offer potty breaks and extended care. I can care for your pets in my home or yours. I will love them and provide excellent, professional care. I can administer medication and provide first aid.
About: A dog lover, through and through, I strive to provide a comfortable and joyful experience for you and your fur baby. I currently have two dogs and have been training Bandit (my Schnauzer) since the day I brought him home. I have had dogs for most of my life and have had worked with various ages and sizes. I know every dog has a unique personality and I am passionate about giving them the care and love they deserve. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule during the day Monday-Friday allowing me to be there for you and your pet, I am available on nights and weekends! I have pet sit for my friends a lot in prior years and when I am in your home, I am courteous to you and your dog's space. I make sure to visit the home prior so I can meet and greet the family and the dog and learn their routine and where any supplies are that I may need. I make sure I can fit in some play/exercise time (whether the yard is fenced in, or we have to use a leash). I make sure to keep the environment clean and safe at all times and do regular check-ins. In my own home I provide the same service. I want you to be comfortable with where your dog will be visiting and know the environment they will be in, prior to staying. I make sure my house is always picked up and that there is minimal possibility of safety issues. My yard is fenced in, and I live by a nice park that is dog friendly. At home I enjoy playing/exercising indoors and out and making enrichment bowls. Health is key!
About: I’ve grown up on a farm and cared for all walks of furry animals! Being a dog owner of 5 dogs from puppies to seniors makes me the perfect fit for any dog/animal. I am professional and punctual and will put your pet before anything else! I did a 2 year Vet program so I am useful and resourceful when it comes to the care of your pet. I can also offer pet photography, as well as nail trimming for tamed dogs. I am fully available for pet care anytime of the day, night or week. I am a freelance artist making my schedule very flexible for your convenience I will abide by any rules/schedules/specifications as provided by you. If none are provided I will treat them as family! Play time, walks, cuddles, possibly even training!

“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with Onyx! She sent me updates every day along with pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was obvious that Onyx was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Kelly again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Sabrina along with her husband and children spoiled chance all weekend. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup. I’ve loved getting all of the pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Sabrina for any of your pet care needs.”
“Logan (and Grace) were great! His communication was quickly responsive initially, and regular on a daily basis including pictures of how happy Mocha was during her stay. We are very protective of Mocha, and Logan made sure she was safe and getting along with their cat and one other dog they were caring for during part her stay. I know if they were not getting along he would have kept them separate and protected her. But turns out they all got along. I won’t hesitate to use Logan as my first choice if we ever have need for a caretaker in the future. Thanks Logan!”
“Ralph was great! I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog with him. He was able to administer eyedrops and oral medication to her and I never had any doubt that she was in good hands. I would absolutely re-book with him. :)”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”
“Marv had a great time staying with Jessica and her fellow beagle, Barry. We had just adopted Marv and we were nervous leaving him for so long but he did great and seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We will leave Marv with Jessica and Barry again!”
“Kayti was great. We did a meet and greet with her dogs to make sure they would be a good fit with Mr. Yukon and they were. It gave me peace of mind that he would be safe and have lots of fun.”
“Chelsie has a great setup for boarding your dogs. She communicates with updates daily. Drop off and pick up are super easy. Will definitely be utilizing again. Appreciate and trust her taking care of our dog!”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“Brittany provided EXCELLENT care for my Chica! She sent plenty of updates and photos so that I was able to truly relax on my vacation. I would recommend her services to everyone and definitely would like to rebook with her. She is a gem!”
“Jesse & her family are an excellent fit for our Lexi. They board only one client at a time & that was good for our dog who has ACL injury & should not play with other dogs or have vigorous activity for now. Lexi came home happy! Often times she is clingy & anxious with much pacing when she’s been boarded- she did great getting acclamated to home. I felt they treated her as one of the family. We’ve already booked her with Jesse!”
“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”
“Lynda and Walter were. Freaking. AMAZING!!!! Snips came home full, dirty, and tired! Lol. I LOVE that he was dirty! I know that sounds weird, but to me, that means he had PLENTY of playtime! :D I received photos, videos, and updates throughout my furbaby's stay. I even got a few extra updates if I asked for one, when I was missing my furbaby! :') Lynda's and Walter's furbabies were a perfect match for mine. Will be using them again for sure!”
“From the moment we arrived at Jacklyn's place my fur baby was relaxed and happy. Jacklyn is a good communicator. I texted her that we were running a 15 minutes behind to pick Baddoo up and she got back to me right away. I received updates and pictures. It's nice to know that if I want another Frankenmuth getaway that there is a great sitter available!”
“My dog had so much fun with Megan! She treated her like part of the family and I received multiple pictures of her during her stay. I will 100% be using her again in the future if my dog needs a place to stay.”
