Highly-rated overnight sitters - Goodells
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”
“Angie was fantastic! It was a short notice booking and she was quick to respond and accommodate. She was accessible and provided updates on my two large dogs. I’ll definitely book with Angie and her family again. They were wonderful.”
“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“Bailey is AMAZING!!!! My son and I went on vacation, it was my first time ever going without my pups, and I was so nervous. Bailey set up a meet and greet so we could meet her before. Then while we were gone she sent me messages letting me know how they were doing and pics! It helped me so much to enjoy my time away! She definitely went above and beyond caring for my pups and myself! I would recommend to to everyone!”
“Maria always watches my cat Grayson and does an excellent job caring for him while i’m away! She makes sure his litter is clean and he is fed and that he is happy and comfortable and always sends pictures and videos!!”
“Meeting Jemily and her family was not only a great experience for my foster, but for us. These are truly loving and amazing people and they took fantastic care of our 7 month old pup. Chloe was clearly happy judging by the videos and pictures that were sent throughout the stay. It was also very apparent by how happy and content she was when we picked her up. I had reservations initially because she lives in an apartment building, however, seeing all the walks to the lake and care that she received changed my mind quickly. I will definitely ok with Jemily in the future with this and any other foster. Our 4 night stay couldn’t have gone better! Thank you for everything 😊”
“Cheri is great with Vinnie! I never have to worry when I’m out of town that Vinnie is safe and enjoying his time with her family! I love the updates she provides and the love/attention Vinnie receives.”
“Britnie and her fiancé boarded our two dogs two times in a month for a week each time. After the first stay, there was no question Dixie and Yoshi would be staying with them again. Britnie sent an update with tons of pictures every day and I know our pups got the love and attention they needed. I didn’t feel I had to worry at all about them while enjoying vacation. I would highly recommend Britnie’s services and will definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 6 years, caring for dogs and cats. And I’ve been fostering for 6 years as well. I’ve had a love for animals since before I can remember. They are my passion. I care for every single one of them as my own I’m a stay at home mom. I don’t have a lot planned right now other than some up north trips and a wedding to plan. Our house can be chaos with all the animals and 2 kids. But everyone is loved and played with. We can go for walks as our neighborhood is not as busy.

About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
About: I will treat your pets like they are part of the family. Making sure your dog gets the play time needed to stay happy. I am home full time and can work most schedules. I have worked for a groomer and vet so I have experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I am willing to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. I am home full time, and can work around whatever times you need. Also can do multiple visits a day if that is something needed. I will make sure to take the time to learn your routine, and anything else I need to know to make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable.
About: I have a dog of my own who I care for, have grown up around dogs all my life, and have helped dog sit several dogs. I am currently in school during the week Monday-Thursday, however I only have class a few hours a day. I work 3-4 days a week, usually ranging from 4-6 hours at a time. Depending on when clients contact me, I can be flexible and work with clients needs. I have a cute Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own who loves to play, and I also have a fenced in yard that is large enough to play fetch and run around plenty.
About: Hello, my name is Bailey & I’m highly experienced with animals. I’ve been watching and taking care of animals for about 10 years now! I’d say watching any animals needed is my passion. I absolutely love animals! I am currently offering walking, boarding, Day Care & Drop in Visits & open to any other requests you may be needing as well!

Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine whenever it is needed. I currently have a work from home job so I am available 24/7. I am currently offering Walking, Boarding, Daycare & Drop in Visits. I care for pets in my home by making sure the pets are comfortable in the environment and by allowing them to make themselves at home. I care for pets in clients homes the way that they are used to being cared for. I ensure the pets are comfortable in their own environments and that they are being cared for just as if their families were to be home with them.
About: Cats have been just as much of a staple in my life as dogs have, and I’ve had and taken care of lots of cats throughout my years. I’ve had 3 of my own for the last 6 years - my youngest I’ve had for 6 but the other two for about 10 and 9 respectively - and I love them with my whole heart. I’ve had to introduce many a cat to another and I know to give them ample time and space to acclimate to one another. My babies are all spoiled rotten and don’t want for anything, and I’ll treat anyone’s cat with the same amount of care.
About: I have lived with cats and dogs since birth and overall find animals great company. I have experience working with special needs pets as my cat has a brain injury and suffers from grand mal seizures. I am open to caring for all animals, including reptiles, birds, and rodents - there aren't any pets that put me off! I am open to learning any and all special care needs your animals have. I have been house/animal sitting for family and friends regularly and have taken care of chickens, goats, cats and a variety of dogs including livestock guardian dogs, pit bulls, and agility dogs. I am a sophomore photography major at College for Creative Studies and enjoy photographing birds, agility dogs, and other animals! I am a full time college student, so my hours are limited. I will be available most weekends - please contact me for specifics! If you are local, I may have more flexibility! I am serious about following all care requirements and pay close attention to details. I am punctual to schedules and any special needs I have been instructed to follow. I not only strive to provide a healthy, safe environment for your animals, I also strive to create trusting relationships with them and am very attentive to others needs.
About: I’ve watched friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was 11! I love watching, playing, walking, and bathing dogs! I have always been trusted with those I help and you should too! I am currently a part time student at Lansing Community College, so my weeks are very open to staying with your pets all day if needed!! I also am available for walks during the day or just stopping by to play and let them out!! I am staying with family who have two dogs that aren’t fully dog friendly so my services would only be available at your house only!
About: I’ve been caring for my cats in the family as long as I can remember. I have six of my own. One of which is a tripod- he came to me with a broken hip that required amputation. Two seniors. Two were orphans my manager raised. And two found me, and just decided to stick around. One has a backwards GI tract and needs a little extra care. One has had a hematoma- leading to drops and care there. There are very few issues I haven’t run into with cats. Including bottle raising a few to foster out. It’s a little chaotic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
About: I’m a reliable and confident pet sitter. I love the days I get to spend with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have plenty of experience with animals with different temperaments, sizes, and medical issues. I understand each animal has its own routine. I am dedicated to following each animal's unique routine to make their days as stress free as possible. I have had dogs and rodents my entire life, but have plenty of experience with other animals such as cats, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and fish. I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home. I share updates and photos daily. My ultimate goal is to provide your pets with the best care possible and for you to feel comfortable and confident when you are away from them.
About: After trying to find a sitter for my own dog, I realized how expensive dog boarding was. So I wanted to offer people a cheaper alternative. If you are looking for an at home feel kinda stay then this is it! I'm not a professional, but I love dogs. I love playing with dogs, walking them, and giving lots of snuggles. I have always owned at least one dog and have experience with lots of different breeds. I have a gentle voice that even shy dogs open up to me. I enjoy grooming dogs and making them feel special. I am a stay at home mom so your fur baby would have constant care and companionship. I have a pretty open availability and am very flexible. I can provide care in my home or in yours. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and 8 year old, so if your dog isn't comfortable around children I would have to go to your home.
About: Hello! My name is Angelina. Ever since I can remember, I have always had an unconditional love for animals. My childhood was built on rescuing animals! I am comfortable/have experience with all breeds, from tiny dogs to dogs over 100lbs and litters to seniors. I also worked at an emergency veterinary clinic for a year. I can easily notice when your pet is in discomfort or any concerning signs so they can receive the care they need. These experiences include taking care of a litter size of 9 puppies, special needs dogs such as blind and deaf, and administering oral medication. I have some experience with birds & guinea pigs too! I have always loved animals; with my love growing each day. I could not imagine life without our companions! Our pets truly help us heal and bring peace to our lives, as we do too for them. I just graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science! I am planning on getting involved in the animal nutrition field and possibly veterinarian school down the line! Your pet(s) are my number one priority and I will love them like my own. I am looking forward to spending time with your pets whom I know I will already love to death! For overnight stays, dog walks, and drop-ins, I am available any time! I’m currently helping at home with family so lots of open time to help with your pets!

I can guarantee that any animal in my care would be protected with my life.
“We were looking for a dog sitter for our 2 dogs when we were in town, and we are so glad we found Madison and Brandon! They were great to work with and took amazing care of our dogs.

“I'm very grateful for Angie and her husband. I was a last minute booking the night before amd Angie was very quick to respond to me, a first time Rover user. I was totally unsure of my timing, if it would have to be extended and then after all that I ended up picking my girl up very early. Angie and her husband were very considerate of my needs all along, Bella had a good time, amd I was given updates and pictures. I absolutely recommend Angie, and I will be contacting her again when the need arises. Thank you Angie and family for being so loving to my best girl!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. Most of the time more than one. I started looking into doing this on my own after I had such a hard time finding a place for my own babies when I went on vacation. There is a huge backyard for them to play. And plenty of space for them to sleep at night. There are plenty of doggy beds, but if you prefer to bring your babies bed/bedroom feel free to do so. I work from a home office. During the day, I take breaks and go outside with them for a bit. Other than that, they will have open access to a back yard to play all day long. Or if you or they prefer, we could keep them inside. I would providing the necessary potty breaks several times per day when I take a break. I'm very protective of all of them. As animals in my care, they are my responsibility to make sure they're kept safe. I take it very seriously.
“Alyssa was extremely quick and flexible to accommodate my dog at the last minute. I can see how well my dog was looked after by how happy and tired he was. I would definitely recommend Alyssa for your pet's care.”
“We have great things to say about Anushka. She was accepted our appointment request immediately and she was very attentive to our arrival. After a brief discussion she took the lead and we could see right away that Cypress was relaxed with her. While Cypress was only with her for a few hours, based on the pictures she sent and the report she provided, Anushka was clearly in tune with our dog’s needs and Cypress was a happy dog when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Anushka in the future.”
“Jemily and her mom took such amazing care of my dog, Marta. They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Marta was very well cared for, and I could tell she had a great time with them. I’m so grateful for how sweet and welcoming they were. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pet.”
About: Over the years I have watched over many different breeds of dogs, everything from breeding to bathing. I truly enjoy every part of the pet process. We currently have one 8 month old puppy that currently runs the house (or so she thinks) and one cat that actually does run the house. We love them both to the moon and back. I’m available for boarding on weekends at the time so there will be lots of time to play with your pups, maybe even go for a car ride and get a pup cup… I have a fenced yard and a friendly 8 month old puppy to keep your fur baby company while in my care. I can crate your dog if needed…

If you are looking for an at home feel kinda stay then this is it! I'm not a professional, but I love dogs. I love playing with dogs, walking them, and giving lots of snuggles. I have always owned at least one dog and have experience with lots of different breeds. I have a gentle voice that even shy dogs open up to me. I enjoy grooming dogs and making them feel special. I am a stay at home mom so your fur baby would have constant care and companionship. I have a pretty open availability and am very flexible. I can provide care in my home or in yours. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and 8 year old, so if your dog isn't comfortable around children I would have to go to your home.
About: We are a family of dog lovers who will treat your pup just like our own. We love taking our dogs for walks around the neighborhood and then snuggling up with them on the couch afterwards. I work from home, so your dog will be home with me all day. I like to take breaks for walks. We have one friendly dog who will also keep your dog company. Your dog will be in the home with our family and dog. We have tie-outs in the back yard for potty breaks plus a very walking-friendly neighborhood.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup. My dog, Josie, has bad skin allergies and terrible anxiety. She hates to see me leave, some times not even getting a drink or eating until I am back. I know it can be so hard to leave a pet, especially when you know they miss you so much, but I hope I can be the easement for both your baby and you that they will be safe and okay! I would love to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe with me and take care of them just the way they need. I am totally willing to give any medications or things needed to keep your baby healthy, please let me know any way I can help make your life and your pets life easier! :) If you are looking for any specific care, let me know and I’ll see if I can help. I do not work Mondays and typically have free time Tuesday as well. I could work something out permanently with you or just help out when needed. I am also a waitress, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work around your needs. :) I will ensure to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. My dog personally has dealt with anxiety her whole life, especially separation anxiety, so I know it can be difficult to leave a pet with a new person. I can and will follow any instructions as that you give me or leave out for me to follow. I want to make the process as easy as I can for you. I can send updates all throughout the day with pictures, messages, or even a call. I want to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and feel at ease when I come to help! Whether your baby just needs someone to let them out and play or a long tiring walk, I am here to help! :)
About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
About: I have cared for my two older dogs for 7 years now! One is a 110 lb Labradoodle and the other is approximately a 10 lb Chihuahua mix, I have learned how to adapt to different dogs needs and even care for close friends’ dogs such as a Boxer, Pitbull Mix and more! I am confident in my ability and I can handle any size dog with the care and attention that they may need. I understand that these are the owners’ babies and I will do my absolute best to make sure that they are cared for in an attentive and loving manner! Regardless of the type, size, or energy level of any dog, I can promise that any individual needs will be met, and that I will return a happy and well cared for dog!
About: *CURRENTLY ACCEPTING EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY* I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I am currently only working with existing clients due to my senior dog’s health. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! My family takes care of them when I’m taking care of your babies. I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded! My schedule now requires dogs to be left alone for around 6-8 hours a day, as I have to be able to care for my struggling pup. I am able to still do overnights, and weekends! Simply cannot do 24/7 stays. I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!

My ultimate goal is to provide your pets with the best care possible and for you to feel comfortable and confident when you are away from them. I pet sit full time. I am available every day of the week at anytime. I always do a house visit beforehand so your pet can become familiar with me. I understand each animal has its own routine.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and I have a love for all animals. I know many dogs through friends and family and I have experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments. I used to have two dogs of my own in addition to my three cats, one of which was a Shiba Inu - so I’m used to and can handle dogs that can be reactive or territorial. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and I love to spoil and care for them. You can be sure I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give to my own. I currently have a business I’m starting up so I’m only working part time, as such my availability is varied but generally open. I prefer to sit at others’ homes but would be available to board throughout the week - I have a couple obligations Monday, Wednesday and Friday so just message me and we’ll see what we can work out. As I have three cats any boarding at my home would require the pet to be vetted and to verify they are cat friendly and non-aggressive. For in-home sitting I can provide a walk, feedings and general play and care including letting the dogs out to potty. At my own place I do not have a fully enclosed yard, but I can still take out dogs on-leash, and would provide all the same in-home care as I would sitting. I do have a gate for the kitchen if they needed to be kept separate from the cats. As I rent the dogs must be potty trained, though I understand pee accidents due to excitement and such can happen. In general I offer a safe and friendly environment for your pets regardless of whether I’m in your home or my own, as every animal deserves to be treated with love and care.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young child. I started at 9 with bottle baby goats, added rabbits shortly after and have had many others since from from cats, dogs, birds, and Guinea pigs inside to chickens, goats, cows, and ponies outside along with various others. I currently have one indoor cat and one indoor dog, as well as cows, sheep, a pony, and a donkey. I feed all the feral and stray cats that show up at my barn and have learned a great deal about cat personalities from them. I often babysit my daughters three cats and ferret so have experience with caring for multiple pets at once. I work Tuesday thru Friday from 5:00am to 2:30 pm and I have about an hour of taking care of my animals each day. The rest of my time I have free to take care of your pets. I will be respectful of your individual animals personality and offer them as much or little physical attention as they want. I’ll make sure they have fresh clean food and water, keep their litter area clean, and can scoop or completely change out litter as needed.
About: You can count on me to show up on time, every time. No missed walks, no excuses. I would never miss a chance to walk your dog. Im available for those one time things. I’m a little busy right now so I don’t have exact times, but if you need your dogs walked for a one time thing I’ll be there. I treat every dog as if it’s my own. With the love no matter the size breed. I love dogs very much and love to walk them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for about 3 years. I also worked at a Pet Resort where families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently a full-time student with all of my classes online so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups!

“Meeting Jemily and her family was not only a great experience for my foster, but for us. These are truly loving and amazing people and they took fantastic care of our 7 month old pup. Chloe was clearly happy judging by the videos and pictures that were sent throughout the stay. It was also very apparent by how happy and content she was when we picked her up. I had reservations initially because she lives in an apartment building, however, seeing all the walks to the lake and care that she received changed my mind quickly. I will definitely ok with Jemily in the future with this and any other foster. Our 4 night stay couldn’t have gone better! Thank you for everything 😊”

I would highly recommend Britnie’s services and will definitely plan on using her again in the future.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. Most of the time more than one. I started looking into doing this on my own after I had such a hard time finding a place for my own babies when I went on vacation. There is a huge backyard for them to play. And plenty of space for them to sleep at night. There are plenty of doggy beds, but if you prefer to bring your babies bed/bedroom feel free to do so. I work from a home office. During the day, I take breaks and go outside with them for a bit. Other than that, they will have open access to a back yard to play all day long. Or if you or they prefer, we could keep them inside. I would providing the necessary potty breaks several times per day when I take a break. I'm very protective of all of them. As animals in my care, they are my responsibility to make sure they're kept safe. I take it very seriously.
“Deena is the best! My dog Ellie absolutely loved her. She gave Ellie all the attention and care she needed, and we got picture/text updates everyday. She is so sweet and attentive. We will absolutely use her again for boarding our Ellie. Cannot recommend Deena enough!”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
