“Shannon is top notch. When life happened for us and we were so nervous about leaving our high anxiety dog with someone new she took the task with calm and so much good energy and joy. Her patience, love for dogs, incredible canine environment made a difference. Shannon is incredible with daily updates and rest assured you can ease your mind when leaving your beloved pet with her.”

About: Hi, I am Bri! I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin and was raised with border collies. I have always loved animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 13 year old rescue Mini Australian Shepherd and a 7 year old Border Collie mix. I work from home which allows me to spend lots of time with my fur babies! I would love to spend time with your pet and would provide outstanding care! Our home in Skandia, MI is just 20 minutes from Marquette, so if you are traveling to the area and need dog care for just the day or longer, please reach out. I work from home which allows me to spend extra time with my own dogs! Your dog will never have to be at home alone. I work from home which allows me to spend extra time with my own dogs! Your dog will never have to be alone. We have a fenced in yard, fence is 4 ft tall so if your dog tends to jump fences, it won’t be a good fit.

About: I fully believe in the power of pets as best friends and emotional support companions, and I want to help take care of your furry loved ones! In my role, I am all about communication first. I have around +2 years of pet-sitting/care experience with diverse dog breeds (chihuahua, pitbulls, schnauzer, mixed) and cats from family members and friends, as well as my own. I have experience doing drop-in visits (feeding, playing, grooming/cleaning, petting) and dog walking (around neighborhood or on pet-friendly nature trails). To further build my experience, I make sure that I have the client's detailed pet routine clearly documented before I accept a drop-in or pet walking visit. I will provide a full-time experience with your pets and make them feel cared for and loved. I will 100% use a baby voice for every sweet pup and kitten I play with! I am working part-time and I have a lot of time flexibility to fully care for your lovely pets. I am responsive while on the job and I try to be quick to accept/decline a new booking. While I can be flexible most of the times, I will let my clients know if there is a weekend or weekdays that I am unavailable. From start to finish, constant communication with my clients is always my top priorirty! I use patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. While providing services at my clients' homes, I quickly learn the areas where the pets will be the most comfortable and avoid possible triggers. I am happy to adjust and, if requested by the client, to meet pets beforehand to build trust and make everyone comfortable during this experience!

“Ashleigh was so good with both my dog and cat! She was available last minute. When we needed her to come an extra time, because our plans changed she was more than happy to help. She sent me pictures of them at every visit! I will definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much Ashleigh❤️”

About: I have 4 cats of my own that I love dearly and are a big part of the family! I will love your cats as they are my own!

“Kendra is a wonderful petsitter. She was quick to initially respond to my request and she scheduled a meet and greet quickly to see if our job was a good fit. First impressions was that Kendra was kind and professional. She was reported her daily check-in and was patient with my kitty who was timid and hid from her until the last day. I'm thrilled to have found Kendra and will be reaching out for future trips.”

“Bri was amazing with Stella!! She took her on a couple of walks, played with her indoors as well to help spend some of that Aussie energy. 🤩 We really appreciate you, Bri! Thanks again!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Kibble! We could tell he had the time of his life hanging out at your beautiful cabin with the other dogs.”

Maddie K.

“Our dogs had the most amazing time with Morgan and Brett! They were able to watch them with short notice, and they were accommodating of our timeframe. We were immediately at ease when we dropped our dogs off. It is obvious how much care they give to each dog they watch, and we were able to have a great day without worrying about our pups! Morgan gave us multiple updates throughout the day, and our dogs were content and sleepy when they got home. I would absolutely have Morgan and Brett watch our dogs again!”

Sophie A.

“Fred seemed like a kind and gentle soul, and I was so comfortable leaving my pups with him. He provided updates and checked in regularly. I would definitely recommend Fred to others.”

“I am so excited to have Shannon planned to walk my dog weekly. She seems like the perfect fit as she is patient and has a calming energy which is perfect as my dog is anxious with new people. She has experience with reactive dogs and has the same positive approach to dealing with that as we have been working on so I am confident she will be a great fit!”

About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility!Please specify what area/ community when you request services. We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.
