About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and even had a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician, and I bring both compassion and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve pet-sat many dogs and cats for family and friends over the years and have hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities—including some large animals. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special medical, dietary, or behavioral needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or quiet snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give every animal the same care and attention I give my own—reliable, compassionate, and always full of tail-wagging fun! I’m currently a veterinary technology student in Cadillac MI, so I’m away for school part of the week, but I’m more than happy to commute if needed! I’m available most weekends and some weekdays for drop-ins or overnight care in Mio MI and the surrounding areas and dog walking or drop-ins most weekdays in Cadillac MI and the surrounding areas! If you are located in the one of the surrounding areas and it looks like you are out of my service range, please reach out to me and I would be more than happy to work something out with you and your furry friends! I’m flexible and always do my best to work around your pet’s schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Safety and comfort always come first when I’m caring for pets—whether it’s in my home or yours. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care that I give your pet, keeping things clean, calm, and consistent with their usual routine. I’m experienced in handling pets of all temperaments and am confident with basic first aid and medication administration from my vet tech training. When pets stay with me, they’ll get a calm, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and tail-wagging fun. My goal is always to create a safe, happy space where pets can relax and owners can have complete peace of mind.

“Frani is so wonderful with my little maltipoo Cali. Cali has never had anyone walk her except me, and Frani helped make the transition of having a dog walker a few times a week a breeze! Cali loves her, and they have a great time walking and sniffing around the neighborhood and dog park. Frani is reliable, on time, communicative, friendly, and a really nice person. I highly recommend Frani!”

About: I have over 20 years experience taking care of dogs (and cats and chickens and hamsters etc) I moved to Lewiston to start a small farm and care for animals. I have 5 acres to walk our furry friends on and two separate large fenced in areas for dogs to play. We have a 2 year old husky mix who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of animals, whether it be frequently letting them out or giving medication at certain times, I can make it happen! Our pets are our family and we treat them as such. I provide a lot of love and attention, and know how to show your pet respect.

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: Fair prices, compassionate, patient, good with all ages of pets, I’ll treat your pet as my own, available almost every time you set up an appointment. I’m currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pet, to be there when you need me to, walk them when they want to, and feed and play with them whenever they bark. I have a decent yard they can run and play in, bunch of toys, and I can take them for walks at anytime, smoke free home, and I’m just a compassionate pet lover.

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: I have managed a boarding facility for the last 8 years. I decided that our fur babies need a lot more attention. I have bathed pups, done nails, given meds including insulin, built bonds with fearful dogs with patience and time. I have always owned senior animals so I do well with our senior fur babies as well with gentle loving care. My life has evolved around pet care. I have worked 60+ hours a week at a boarding facility. So I can be available 24 hours a day to keep strictly to your pet care routine. Routines are important with our fur babies I will make sure your pups and cats are fed on time. Taken out regularly and clean up where ever they do potty. I will play with them outside or inside so they get both physical stimulation and love on them for the emotional and mental stimulation

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 supporting K9 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.
