“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Katy did an excellent job taking care of our pup while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, it was clear that she took great care of him!”
“Becky was great and really communicative! My frenchie, Max, seemed super chill about his stay at her home and she sent me great photos so that I could be comfortable with his stay also! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Our pups were very well taken care of! We got tons of photos and videos to keep us updated throughout their stay. Our dogs came home happy and tired from playing!”
“Janice is hands down the sweetest person, she took amazing care of our dog Cooper while we were away on a weekend trip up north! The daily updates of pictures and videos we received made us feel at ease knowing our boy was having a blast and was well taken care of!!”
“Trina and her daughter were wonderful hosts for Rosie. They offered to do a meet and greet before the day, so she could get comfortable. And I could tell that she was happy and well taken care of when I came to pick her up!”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Jamie was a fantastic sitter! Extremely experienced and gave us daily updates while we were gone. We will definitely leave our fur baby with her again on future trips!”
“Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”
“This was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”

“Erin is the best pet sitter! She took exceptional care of my cat Max. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Max. It was comforting to have them while I was gone, even with some bad storms I was happy to have Erin there to comfort my cat. Thank you Erin! I will definitely be booking you again!”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful with my pets! I have a unique crew—including two pet frogs and my cat Kirby, who requires medication—and Anna was incredibly kind, attentive, and detailed in following all of their specific care routines. It is such a relief to find a sitter who is completely comfortable and dependable with unique pet needs. I highly recommend her!”
“William did a great job looking after our cats, especially with such a last minute booking. He was responsive to us and our needs and willing and able to engage both cats. Both cats seemed to respond well to him and seemed able to administer their meds with no problems. We will be sure to book William again, if he's available, but have no need yet.”
“Rebekah is incredibly reliable and professional. She followed all of my feeding and medication instructions perfectly and kept the litter area spotless. I really appreciated her communication and punctuality. It’s a huge relief knowing my home and my pets are in such capable hands. I will definitely be booking Rebekah again!"”
About: I’ve volunteered at the harbor humane society and other local shelters for years. I love spending time with the animals and ensuring their happiness and comfort. I’m currently on summer break from school and have a very open schedule while the only task I have to complete is to work on my masters thesis. Your home and pet are so incredibly valuable. I will be sure to treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pets.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am currently a student at Michigan State, but my schedule is very flexible, and I can care for your pet whenever you need me to. :) I am very flexible when it comes to services. I am willing to walk, feed, let your pet out to go to the bathroom, etc.
About: I have had a family dog since I have been 5 years old. We have had two dogs starting at a puppy age. I have walked dogs starting at a puppy age to senior age. I am able to give the dog a short up to a longer walk. My current living situation has a cat in the house. I provide care for the kitten when its owner is gone for the week. I am able to clean the litter box, give water/food and play with the cat. I just finished up my first year of teaching ending early June. I am now available after 12 pm on the weekdays and most weekends (any time range). My job is to take care of your furry friends and your home. I plan to be explicit when I am able to give your pet care and I will make sure your house is secure before leaving the house. I am there to be providing a service to your animal and making sure it gets the care it deserves and needed.
About: I have been exposed to animals my entire life. From dogs, cats, and wild animals such as birds of prey, reptiles and amphibians, I've done it all. I currently have a German Shorthaired pointer/ blue heeler mix that loves to play especially with other dogs at the dog park! I have worked with dogs of all sizes of various breeds and temperaments; from couch loving golden retrievers to hyper hyper huskies. I live in an area with plenty of space to go on walks and a short five minute drive to the dog park. I treat all dogs as if they were my own, so your pup will have the constant care and attention it needs plus some! I currently work full time during the week but have full availability on weekends. I am constantly finding new and creative ways to fill dogs lives with enrichment! I have a large yard and live 5 minutes from a large dog park! I also have a friendly dog that loves to play but knows other dog’s limits.
“Emily did multiple drop in visits while we were out of town to feed our cat. She followed all of the instructions I left for her and always communicated with me, and sent photos when our cat allowed it!”
“Amie is the best! Perfect communication, responsive, always sends photos and is on schedule. Sometimes I wonder of my cats like her more than me!!! Amie is reliable and an overall kind and loving person and I’m grateful to have her to rely on.”
“As always Katey goes above and beyond to make sure the time she spends with my Oakley wears her out! I love that she takes so many pictures and sneaks in extra cuddle time 🥰”
“I so appreciated being able to easily communicate with Angi and the pictures Angi sent me with each visit. She did a nice job of keeping my two cats fed, watered, and giving them human contact while I was away. I will definitely request Angi’s help in the future.😊”
“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to calm seniors.

Litter box cleaning and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Playtime, cuddles, and mental enrichment. Regular updates with photos so you know your cat is happy and comfortable.

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina
“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”
About: I have rescued all of my dogs and fostered many for over 15 years. I help families find their next family member and have re-homed all my fosters. My fosters vary from carrying for pregnant dogs, to puppies, to seniors. I have done it all. I am currently able to work from home most of the time so I am available all week. If I do have appointments I have kennels for all the dogs to ensure their safety. I will accommodate whatever their routine is to keep them comfortable. I have 3 dogs to keep others busy. I have a fenced yard and also live on a lake if they like to swim or boat.
“Debbie did a great job watching our mini golden doodle while we were having trees cut down. Rosa warmed up to her quickly. Will be bringing Rosa over to her house for some overnights this summer.”
“This was our first time using a service to find someone to care for our dog. Jaisree allowed me to meet with her before our drop off date to make sure our dog would be a good fit for her. I really appreciated Jaisree’s warmth and desire to understand how to best care for Blue. She did a great job and I will book with her again.”
“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”
About: Big or small, I love them all! 💕 I’ve had pets since I was a small child. I’ve cared for sick puppies & kittens, elderly cats & dogs. I have 3 years experience working at a pet bathing company. There I learned a lot about proper hygiene of various breeds and how to safely handle aggressive pets. I also have 400+ hours of volunteer horse care at an equine therapy barn. I walk my own dog daily and he is high energy. I’m always in search of play pals for him to burn energy with. Let us walk your pup! I love to snuggle my pets & make sure they are clean and bug free. I can bathe and lightly groom your pets when needed. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. ❤️
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.
About: Experienced in leading dogs big and small, young and old, well-mannered and not. Waking, sitting, drop ins, day care, and training. Deep understanding of dog psychology. Open to any specific requests, flexible with pet parents. I’m currently a full time trainer and pet sitter. I have a relatively flexible schedule. You’re welcome to send me messages about dates and about your pet. I’ll do my best to help out! I live in a large house, multiple floors. I have a large backyard with a leash anchor. Your pet will be my main focus for the duration of their stay whether it be training or sitting. The same goes for sitting or training in your home as well. I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“We’ve sent our puppy for “daycare” to Melissa a handful of times now. We can tell she really loves working with dogs and Finn loves his days there. There’s usually at least one other dog for him to play with, plus lots of attention from the people, so he’s in heaven. He comes home happy and ready for a long nap. We love the updates she sends! At least 1-2 cute videos/pictures every day.”
“Heather was wonderful with my pup. She was very patient and understanding with a new doggie in her beautiful home. She was also very flexible and responsive. Her pets are also very welcoming and easily welcomed my dog Fiona into their pack. I had a stress free day thanks to Heather!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Kendall
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I am a devoted animal person. Loving and caring for animals of all kinds describes my passion. I’ve been a pet owner all of my adult life. I am a retired teacher and mother of three grown children living with my husband, family dog and son’s cat. Helping pay the bills while being with animals sounds like a win-win to me! I live in a modest home, in the country, with a fenced in yard. Pets will be allowed in and out as needed. I also live on a small lake but pets only have access to it when the gate is open. I love walking and will most likely be taking your fur baby for a short daily walk while they stay with me.
“Erin is great with my 2 dogs and is very reliable. She always shows up on time and is very professional. I appreciate how knowledgeable she is with dogs - I know I can trust her to handle any situation!”
About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have been around dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with puppies and dogs of every size! I have dog sat for many people in the past, and I always treat them like my own little family members. For the month of May, I will be working 7:30-3 Monday-Friday. However, this summer I am happy to announce that I will be able to petsit more full time. With all of this free time, I can spend as much time with your furbabies as possible! The dates that I am not available are already marked in my calendar, so the rest of the summer is wide open for me! I am a visual person, and I thrive off of written instructions! My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 5 years all different sizes. Big and small and I love every minute of it! I’m currently working part time in Kalamazoo but Still have plenty of time to be able to play with your pets! My schedule does change weekly. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!
About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!
“Arantza has been absolutely fantastic. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her hands. Highly recommend her services.”
“Lexi was fantastic. I had a last minute trip and she was so easy to book with. She was very attentive and had my puppers taken out on time, every day. Thank you Lexi! I will definitely be rebooking with you in the future.”
About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.
About: I have 3 years experience working as a kennel attendant. I have cared for dogs of many breeds and temperaments. If needed I am able to administer oral and injectable medication such as insulin. I work split shifts throughout the week. I usually work from 8am-12:30pm & 3pm-6pm in a day. This gives me the flexibility and time to give the adequate care needed for your pet. It very much depends on each specific dog and their needs. I have cared for dogs that need to be crated while I leave the house and dogs that are able to have free range of the house. I work great with dogs that love to play and have energy, but I have also cared for dogs that are nervous and may need some space and trust building. Depending on the temperament and size of the dog I may offer in home boarding (I do have a well tempered male shih tzu at home)
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

About: I've had animals since I was little and am comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of animals. I have two dogs and two barn cats and love spending time with as many animals as I can! I am the go to pet sitter among all our friends and have had many jobs watching dogs and cats. I have trained all my own animals as well as helping friends train theirs. One of my dogs is a senior and I have had experience with taking care of other senior pups! I have also had seasonal work on small hobby farms and have worked with animals including goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, horses, sheep, alpacas and pigs. I'm available for day jobs, check in jobs, or watching your dogs in my home. I get home around 3:30 on Tuesday-Thursday and work from home on Monday's and Friday's so I have a lot of time to play with all the fur babies! My husband, who is also a dog lover, is home in the evenings and the weekends to also love on your pet and make sure they get all the attention they deserve and need! If you're boarding or doing daycare at our house, while we don't have a fenced yard, we have a full acre and have two friendly dogs that love playing with new friends and help keep them in our yard! I can also take dogs out on a leash if needed to keep them safe. We have plenty of space in our house to crate your pet or to give them their own space away from our dogs if they need a little break. I do require a meet and greet with my pups to make sure they are a good fit together! When taking care of pets in your home, I am able to bring one of my dogs to play if they work well together and if you want them to get a little extra energy out.
About: Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I’m a lifelong animal lover based in the Kalamazoo area. I work full-time in hospitality sales, but caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been dog and cat sitting on and off for about 15 years and love getting the chance to spend time with furry friends of all kinds! I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a rescue Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix named Leo, who has taught me so much about patience, behavior, and individualized care. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy terriers and anxious or shy pets. I’ve also cared for cats, guinea pigs, and other small pets over the years. I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home because I believe familiar surroundings help them feel more comfortable and less stressed while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the entire time you’re gone. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you can always expect regular updates and photos throughout the stay! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work at a job in Kalamazoo from 9-5, Monday-Friday and we have a hybrid work schedule. I need to be in the office 1 full day and another half day for the most part. Depending on my week and schedule I can work where I need to and can adjust based on what you need. Some weeks are busier than others, and typically if I know I can't be available or will be busy for 8 hours or more, I will make myself unavailable. Currently I live in a rental house with a small yard that is not fenced in. I am able to let my dog out in the yard and we also take daily walks. I have a smaller house and prefer to watch dogs in your home if possible. I find that they are much more comfortable in their own home and I can do my best to follow their routine just like you would if you were home.
About: I used to watch dogs and cats around my neighborhood I grew up with cats when I was young. I’ve watched my families and close friends animals a lot. I am a huge animal lover ❤️❤️ I work during the day but free afterwords. My hours are 8am-2pm. Monday-Friday. I’ll be able to fit your animals in after I’m done working. I would take good care of your animals, I love to play with cats and dogs and I would give them lots of attention. I want you to feel comfortable when you leave and I’m taking care of your fur babies. I’m an honest person and always will be especially when it comes to taking care of your needs.
About: Dogs that come into my home will be loved, cuddled, learn tricks, always have a cozy place to sleep. We live on 3 acres but have a section that is fenced in for dog safety. I do not recommend having dogs that like to jump on fences here at our home until I can get ours replaced, as it is only 4 ft tall. But is excellent for non jumpers We will enjoy walks a couple times a day around our property. We have a golden retriever that loves having a playmate. We love all breeds, any size, any age. I am a single mom of a 7 year old so excited to take on extra responsibility. Dogs are our family. They need to be treated in a loving, kind, gentle manner. You can guarantee that your pup will be completely safe, and we'll taken care of in my care. I have never not owned a dog or cat. They have been a part of my life for many years. We also own 27 chickens and are willing to do drop in visits for chickens if needed as you go on vacation. My son is a great help with feeding, watering, collecting eggs, and light chicken coop cleaning. I work morning to early afternoon. I am usually home by 1 or 2 p.m. After I take care of my pets I am available to care for yours. I have a fenced in backyard. If the weather is extremely hot out I don't keep the dogs outside longer than after they do their business. I am a kind, hearted animal lover at heart. Your pet will get a lot of attention. I am a dog groomer as well.
About: I provide dependable, attentive, and loving care so pets can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself with 3 dogs of my own, I understand the level of patience, consistency, and attention that goes into properly caring for pets every day. I know that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Some dogs love staying active with walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing and getting cuddles and companionship. I make it a priority to adjust my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also have experience giving medications to dogs through caring for my own pets, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and already care for 3 dogs of my own each day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, as well as Saturdays and Sundays with open availability. I enjoy being able to give pets the time, patience, and attention they need while their owners are away and do my best to keep their routines as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it a priority to keep their environment calm, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other specific care needs to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is allowing me into their home and trusting me with their pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Katy did an excellent job taking care of our pup while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, it was clear that she took great care of him!”
“Becky was great and really communicative! My frenchie, Max, seemed super chill about his stay at her home and she sent me great photos so that I could be comfortable with his stay also! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Our pups were very well taken care of! We got tons of photos and videos to keep us updated throughout their stay. Our dogs came home happy and tired from playing!”
“Janice is hands down the sweetest person, she took amazing care of our dog Cooper while we were away on a weekend trip up north! The daily updates of pictures and videos we received made us feel at ease knowing our boy was having a blast and was well taken care of!!”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Jamie was a fantastic sitter! Extremely experienced and gave us daily updates while we were gone. We will definitely leave our fur baby with her again on future trips!”
“Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“This was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”
“Reed and Natalie always do a great job with taking care of my puppy. He comes home happy and tired, and the pictures and videos they send of him having fun and being played with are reassuring and heartwarming. If I could give extra stars, I would.”
“We had Tasha watch our Molly and were very happy with the attention and care given to her. She always kept us updated with messages and pictures of her stay and happiness. Tasha went out of her way to make molly feel part of her family. Set up a meet and greet to introduce her dog and family to us. Definitely recommend and will be using her again. Accommodated with us picking molly up on short notice”
