The biggest thing for me is that Ralph never ever made me feel like a bother with any questions that I had from the moment I reached out to him to book till when he actually watched my Halle.

“Kristina is so great with my cats and I never have to worry while I’m out of town!! She has been so nice to them and it is evident in the way they have warmed up to her since the first time she sat for me!”
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 care for every pet like my own, because if it was me, I would want someone to do the same. With my own senior dog I have extra care and patience to fit all their needs I currently work 7:30-4 Monday through Thursday. So my best availability is at night or during the weekends! Availability can vary depending on request and location. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am able to take your fur baby out on a leash if necessary, although caring for your pet at their own home would be preferred!
About: I am now working part time giving me the flexibility to give your dog companionship and exercise while you are away! We can play outside in our large back yard. Our yard is not fenced, however we do have a boundary collar(invisible fence).Our home is in the country near a great dog park and Hartley making walks plesent and fun. I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also. I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard.

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover with a proven track record in the pet care industry. My diverse experience includes owning and operating a successful pet training and boarding facility, as well as consulting for a renowned service dog training organization. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the unique bond between humans and animals. My personal "zoo" includes three beloved dogs and a menagerie of other species, reflecting my passion for all creatures great and small. I actively contribute to my community by working with local rescues and animal welfare organizations. My expertise extends beyond dogs to a wide array of animals, from hamsters to horses, with a special affinity for exotic pets. I'm known for my professionalism, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, which consistently earns the trust and affection of both pets and their owners. As an overly attached pet parent myself, I empathize with the worries that come with leaving your furry (or scaly!) family members in someone else's care. That's why I go above and beyond to provide frequent updates and personalized attention, ensuring your peace of mind. When I ran my own facility, I even created individual "blog" pages for each dog, allowing owners to stay connected with their pets daily. I'm thrilled to offer that same level of care and transparency to my current clients. Let me bring my expertise and passion to your pet care needs – your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will thank you! For an extra fee, I can tack on training to daycare or boarding My routine is pet care centric, whether I'm pet sitting or not. I'm almost always doing something with my many pets, particularly the two dogs. I follow strict safety protocols. If needed, I can crate your dog, use double leashes etc. Whatever is necessary for your pet to have the safest environment
“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”
About: I finally talked my mom and Grandma into letting me have a cat when I was 15. I named her Simpson, and despite her lowly birth, she was a divine fluffy black and white princess. Her warm welcome included oral dewormer, a bath, a good brushing, a nail trim, and topical flea treatment. I have since gained experience trimming nails and applying flea medication/preventative to cats other than my own. I love engaging kitties in play, a relaxing brush session, or simply finding which unconventional places they prefer most to nap in. I will carefully measure food, or make sure a bowl is never empty. Scooping litter is a breeze, and I can scrub a box with the best of them. I am no stranger to cleaning hairballs and vomit, but if your cat is likely to make a mess I would like to know where the cleaning supplies are kept and what you'd like me to use. I respect their autonomy and will snuggle those who request it, and leave be the ones who prefer to be left alone. If your feline friend longs for the outdoors, please provide instructions on how to best ensure they stay inside- I WILL cry if your cat escapes on my watch.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hemlock
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.

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.
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
“Vickie is the best! We were about 45 minutes later than expected, and she was very understanding about it. I wish the app didn’t limit how much we can tip, she deserves much more.”

“Jennifer is the BEST! I have been looking for someone to really tire out my puppy. She is little with little legs and some people take that to mean a 10 minute walk is sufficient.

Her communication is excellent and I get to see how much fun Betty is having through pictures!”

I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard. My three children would give snuggles and tire your pup out during the day. If you have a less social dog I also have a quiet place for your pet to relax. I am working part time. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-4:00. My summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:30am-12:00pm. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday I would be home all day. My schedule allows me to be available to care for your pet and give the plenty of my time and attention. We love dogs and have two of our own. They are part of our family. We would treat your pet as part of our family while they stayed with us. Message me for any additional information or questions you may have.
About: Hello! My name is Sarah! I've been taking care of pets since I was a little kid. I spent most of my childhood at my grandma's house who had 10 dogs, dozens of cats, birds, fish, and goats! In my teen years I would watch over my neighbors pets and house sit when they went out of town. Now as an adult, I watch over my parent's 3 month old Portuguese water dog, their miniature bulldog, two cats, and chickens! I'm a very flexible person when it comes to your needs. Does your pet take medication? Do they need a bath? Long walks? Lots of play time? Or maybe just a nice relaxed day with someone they trust? I've got you covered! I am also knowledgeable in taking care of reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, even spiders! I work at the MBS airport in Freeland from 4a.m. to 9a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Which means I can stop by in the morning/afternoon for your pet's needs as well as in the evening! You set the rules for your pet's care and needs! I will not do anything you don't want me to do. I'm definitely a rule follower! I want the best for your pet's, and that means a clear understanding of what YOU want for them.

“Annabel and Gavin took care of my 2 doogs and a cat while I was away for 2 weeks overseas. They have followed their routine to the T. Excellent communication gave me peace of mind and photos sharing ensured pets were in great hands. I can't be thankful enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies are taking care off. Highly recommended and would definitely use their service again!”
