“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!”

“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.”

“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 !”

“Anna was great with my dog. You can tell if your dog is happy and peaceful. That’s how know besides she was friendly and caring. I’ll definitely be using Anna again to care for my dog”

“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.”

“Shae and Celeste got along so well! Her big yard and dog ginger created an ideal environment for Celeste to feel safe and happy! We were most relieved to get periodic updates about her status during our trip. Celeste was responding really well to Shae and while she often doesn’t come to my husband and I when we call her, she was happily coming to Shae when she called her which showed us that she had a great time at Shae’s place.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Kathleen was amazing with our dog! She took her on a last minute booking request and responded to it very quickly. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day while she was caring for our dog. Our dog came back happy and tired and we can tell she was well cared for! We are very happy with her service and will book again if we’re in the area”

“Amanda was great with our Cat. She went above and beyond and filled my bird feeders, checked my hanging baskets, and made sure to give my cat lots of love and attention. I would 10 out of 10 recommend, or use her again!”

“Jessica came to our rescue after another (non-Rover) sitter bailed on us last minute. She was super responsive, followed directions to the letter, and was right on time. We’ll definitely use her again for our pet walking/sitting needs!”

“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”


“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!”

“We had a great experience with Mike!! Could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter. He was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated and responding promptly to messages. He shared lots of photos and followed all instructions, making sure our dog received care and attention. She can be a handful sometimes :). He even called when we ran out of food on the last day, to see how we wanted to handle that. It’s clear that Mike genuinely cares about the pets he looks after and he gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We will absolutely use his services again. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Mike!! 🐾🤩”

“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!”

“Shae was great with both of our dogs for an afternoon/evening stay at her home. She had a handful of dogs in her care, and she had a calm demeanor and good control of all the dogs. I would recommend her to care for your dogs.”

“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.”

“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.”


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: I have over 30 years of experience with pets of all kinds from chickens to rabbits to dog and cats and from babies to senior pets. Not only have I had my own pets throughout my life but also have taken care of many family and friends as well. I love every fur baby like my own! I work remotely 100% of the week. It gives me flexibility for pet care as well as loads of time for attention, play and walks.. I am available for drop ins only at this time. But my flexible remote work schedule allows for plenty of time for loads of attention, play, walks, and potty breaks. I will provide exactly the amount of love and care your pets are used to…and then some!

About: I’ve worked with shelter dogs and have dog sat for family & friends. I have experience administering medications, consistent let out times, and dog/cat enrichment! I work part time and have open availability after work as well. Working only three days gives me flexibility on my time off, meaning plenty of time to play, walk, and hangout. I maintain four fish tanks and care for two cats! The cats have a catio and plenty of towers to scratch, play, and climb on.
About: I’ve had dogsmy entire life and have began walking dogs when I moved to Downtown Detroit in 2020. I find the best way to explore a new city is on foot, alongside a furry friend 🐶💃🏻 I’m new to Petoskey and plan to do the same here 🏡🥰 I’m blessed to be a freelancer so my schedule is quite flexible and I’m never away from home for too long, just the way I like it! ☺️ All rooms of my home are baby gated, allowing me to ensure my daughter and I, our pets and our guests are all comfortable 🥰
“Michael did a great job with Dudley. He had last minute availability and I felt great knowing he was there caring for my dog while I was away. He kept me updated! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm and have dog sat for friends and family since I was 12. I have both experienced training a puppy of my own and also taking care of a senior dog. I like being active and outside so I would love to take you dogs for walks and play with them while you are gone. I have 1 dog of my own, she is a very energetic cane corso! I’m currently a college student so I have a very flexible schedule with 2 hours in between some of my classes. On weekdays I would mostly be available for drop in’s. To let your pets outside and play with them until I need to get back school. Fridays and weekends I am completely free. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have lots of land so I trained my dog with an invisible fence so she knows not to wonder off with a human with her. My dog does have her own room that acts as a crate.
About: Pet Experience I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. 🐾 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and keeping pets company. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique routine. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care! 🐶🐱💕 Availability I am currently available on weekdays and weekends with flexible scheduling. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work around your schedule to ensure your pet gets the care they need. Safety & Trust Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🐾 I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your furry friend, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 💕
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and all sorts of animals since I was a kid. Once I turned 16, I started housesitting and taking care of others' dogs and cats. In the last couple years I've moved out to a farm with my boyfriend where we take care of lots of different farm animals. There is cats and a dog that live in a different house on the property and all farm animals are fenced in. Your pets can interact or be kept very far away from the farm animals. Living on 200 acres, I have lots of space to accommodate to your needs. I am free everyday except Monday and Wednesday. I am searching for a new job but until then I can do anytime on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. All farm animals are kept in by fences, but we do not have any fenced in area for dogs. There is lots of yard and trails for leashed walks. If your pet comes when called, I can watch them while they explore the big back yard. Our home is a one bedroom and the cats and dog do not live with us. My boyfriend's parents live on the property and keep them inside there most of the time. It is up to you if you want them to interact with your pets or not.
“So thankful that Christine was able to walk Franny for us today on such short notice. They were so easy to work with and did a wonderful job with her. I highly recommend hiring Christine and her husband to care for your pup. They even offered to come back if our day trip took longer than expected”
