“We took our dog Sawyer to Cheyenne so we could go on vacation for ten days. He is a rescue and had never been to a sitter or kennel before. Since we had bad experiences with kennels in the past and Cheyenne came so highly recommended, we decided to give her a try. She is super nice and accommodating. She made sure he was happy and sent us picture updates every other day. When we picked him up, he kept trying to go back inside her house, so she must be doing something right, lol. She was very good with him.”

“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!”

“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”


“Heather was great with our dog, Rosie! She sent picture updates each day and gave our dog plenty of exercise. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Rosie was taken care of while we were away--hope we can book with you again, Heather! Thanks for everything.”


About: I had to put down my 10 year old lab this winter. I miss having dog, but thought this would be a great way to spoil your dog and have a dog in the house again. I'm not ready for another pet just yet. I will be in charge, as I work from home. Promise lots of walks, private beach if your dog enjoys that and lots of attention. No puppies (can discuss if housebroken) and can provide for senior dogs if needs are reasonable. Thank you! I primarily work from home so your dog will never be left alone for long. I am writer, so I sit at my desk quite a bit. However, those hikes in the woods or walks around the neighborhood are necessary. I would love to have your dog join me. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. I walk, feed and give plenty of attention. You tell me the rest. I miss having our own dog and would love to take care of yours. It's not a good time to get another dog, but I know how to love and care for yours. I work from home and will handle the care of your dog.
About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!
“Maggie was an amazing pet sitter for our Bulldog, Edison!! She is kind and loving, and was cognizant of his schedule and caring needs and medications. She took him for several walks and adventures, and made him feel right at home! She kept us updated with many photos and communicated regularly. I could tell that Edison was happy and very well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience! I would trust Maggie to watch him anytime, she was just wonderful.”

“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Lucy. She and Dave have a large fenced-in yard and took Lucy on several walks. She was excellent at communicating, including sending photos and videos. Will definitely hVd her board Lucy again!”

“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!”

“Jenna was so wonderful with Noodles. She was very prompt with communications and sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jenna, when you need someone to watch over your fur baby.”


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.
“We couldn’t be happier with Jared and the care he provided for our anxious dog Finn! From the moment we met Jared and his sweet dog Charlie we knew Finn would be in good hands during our 10 day trip. It was such a comfort knowing that Finn had all his favorite things from home and that he was allowed on furniture just like at home. Jared was so great at communicating and shared photos often. We could tell that Finn was doing well. He was able to warm up and relax with Jared and Charlie. In the past when Finn stayed at a kennel he was so nervous and upset when he came home afterwards but when we brought him home after staying with Jared Finn was his same sweet self. We will definitely have Finn stay with Jared during any future trips we take. We’re so grateful to have found Jared and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

“Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.”

“Sweet, caring, kind and excellent communication. Lots of updates and pictures of what my dogs were up to. Both of my dogs really enjoyed their stay and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands.”

“This was our dog's second stay with Kendra and she was clearly well cared for and received lots of love and attention. I appreciated the flexible pick up and drop off times and would 100% recommend!”
“Wendy was fantastic! Lilah loved her so much that she didn’t even want to leave. We appreciated the communication about how she was doing and the daily photos. We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Karen was amazing. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. My dogs had an awesome stay in her beautiful fenced in yard. She sent pictures daily. Highly recommend and plan on using her in the future.”

“Megan is excellent!!! I was able to go on vacation and not stress about my cats being well cared for. I appreciate the photos each visit to have peace of mind that they are doing well. I would for sure use Megan again for future pet sitting. She is reliable, friendly and did an excellent job with drop in visits for our 3 cats! We appreciate you so much Megan!”


“We just arrived home from our trip and it is obvious that our kitty was very well cared for!! Ashley was wonderful at communicating with us while we were gone, sending pictures of our kitty, even videos!! We will definitely call on her again!! Highly recommend”

“Hunter was AMAZING! Fiona (our dog) thought so as well! Hunter's fast and professional communication was immediate and throughout our time with him. He was flexible and extremely helpful to our family. Thank you so much Hunter!!”

“Patty was a great communicator from start to finish. She kept us informed on our cats and treated our house well. We would definitely let her watch our house and kitties again. Thanks Patty!”


“Erin did a great job caring for my cats. She is kind and very professional. She did everything I asked and more! I would trust her to help me again in the future and I highly recommend her to other pet owners. 😊”

“Jordan was wonderful! She provided a very safe environment for my kitty while I was away. My kitty was safe along with me having peace of mind that she was in good hands! Jordan provided an update every day with no issues! Thank you so so much! I would absolutely recommend 🙂”

About: In college I worked as a professional pet sitter that was over 20 years ago. Since then I have pet sat off and on over the years in my home and in clients home. I have experience walking lots of dogs at one time. I have experience with horses and cows as well. I also have 5 years of professional pet grooming experience too. I have had family pets my entire life. I currently work part time as a substitute teacher and with my boyfriend at his lawn care business. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to fit pet sitting/ dog boarding/ dog walking in when needed. I have a large yard and live on quite a bit of property. I also have trails behind my house for walking. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live off a quiet road. I will be putting a tie out for dogs that’s what I used in the past for my dogs .
“Our pup had a great time with Tayler, and especially liked playing with her daughter! Tayler kept us updated and sent pictures during Ahsoka’s visit, and she also accommodated a last-minute schedule change. Highly recommended, and hopefully Ahsoka will be able to visit Tayler again soon!”

About: I have always loved dogs, and have taken care of many over the years. We had our own family rescue, growing up. Then I rescued a couple of kittens in college who were with me and my husband for almost 20 years. They were my loves. When our first brother passed rescue the senior rabbit. We had him for quite a few years to help. Distract our sad brother cat. I I’ve always loved meeting and playing with as many dogs as possible. I nannied for a family years ago and took over puppy training duties to perfect the behavior of my only coworker. I’ve taken care of my mother’s dog and neighbors’ for years just because I want all dogs to always feel loved and get as many adventures as they can! I am responsible and always early for anything. I always have leashes, toys, treats, and dozens of poop bags handy, even though my only pets were cats and rabbits. Someday I’ll have dogs, but right now I’ll just have to borrow them. I’m currently working full-time, but squeeze in as many dog walks as I can a week. I love to help out owners. We don’t have the time and give their animals some fun adventures and love. I have a fenced in yard with a back door to my house. Tons of toys, dishes for food and water. Leashes. A nice neighborhood to walk in where I know all of the barky yards.
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic! A last minute doggy daycare request turned into a great time for our puppy! Jenna was great at adhering to his schedule, provided lots of photos and updates, and was so excited to watch him! Will definitely be using Jenna again!”

“Maggie was great with Dexter! He isn’t a fan of the snow (and there is currently a ton out.) So, it was nice that Maggie was able to do inside tricks with Dexter to keep him active. Highly recommend, will be booking again!”

“We had such a good experience with Jared watching our dog. He sent us pictures and videos to update us throughout the day as well. If we are in the area with our dogs again we would definitely ask Jared again.”

I have a fully fenced in yard so your dog can run outside and play at any time under my care where I will play with them!

“Brandon was amazing! He even came over A-day early to meet Thora before their walk the next day. He sent me pictures when he picked her up for the walk and when he brought her back, even gave her a treat, And made sure her food bowl was full! Love the pics and the description of each walk! Would definitely recommend Brandon to take care of your fur babies!”

“Ashley was a great dog walker! She took our brood of three doodles out on a long walk while we were away for the day. Wrangling three dogs is not an easy task and she made it look effortless. She sent along some videos along the way so we knew all was well! Highly recommend her!!!!”

About: There’s been dogs in my family’s house for as long as I can remember. Walking my pups is the best part of my day! Would love to walk/run/play with your furry friends anytime you need it! I’m a college student with a very light course load each day so have a very flexible schedule so can cater to pretty much any frequency your pup needs! I would love to play fetch, walk/run with them, and of course lots of pets! I have experience with dogs of all ages and have cared for dogs in my family my entire life. At your home I am willing to play with your dog whenever I’m there and ensure your dog is able to carry on their normal routine if given specific instructions
About: Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, I have made a living out of taking care of them. It was my calling as a young child to become a Veterinarian. I started Pet Well Mobile Vet, the area's only mobile veterinary service, in 2021 to help bring a better level of quality to pet care after seeing how much more relaxed my friend's pets were when I took care of them in their homes. Building that bond through pet sitting is much the same thing. Pets get individualized care and you get peace of mind. As the mobile veterinarian, I can schedule my days as needed. I have the flexibility to do mid-day meals or walk, if needed. I'm almost always done working by 6pm to make sure everyone gets dinner on time and then some evening playtime. All pets will be cared for as if they are my own. I encourage pet parents to write up the normal routine for their baby so I can stick to it as much as possible. I love to send pictures and updates. (I would want them if the roles were reversed.) I also have the ability to care for medical issues that arise during the stay, only with the pet parent's permission of course.
About: I work at Little Traverse Bay Humane Society as an animal caregiver. I’ve been to exposed to all kinds of dogs and cats. I have experience with animal meds, animal behavior, and the care for them as well. I’ve handled all ages of animals from very young to old. I have also grown up with multiple pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I love all animals and I always make sure that I give the animal the best care possible. I’m currently working part-time at LTBHS. And I am going to school for Zoology! I would love as much experience with animals as I can get! I only work two days a week, so I have a very open schedule to work with! I have lots of experience in cleanliness of animals. As working at the shelter has given me hours upon hours of cleaning experience. I follow directions extremely well and take everything seriously. I understand these animals are your children and will always treat them like my own. I have experience in different temperaments and know how to safely handle them! I love a calm and loving environment with lots of mental and physical stimulation.
About: Coming from a background of puppy breeders, I have more then enough knowledge in not just caring for pets but understanding them as well. I have a genuine love for all animals, and have grown up with dogs, cats, farm animals and everything in between. Animals adore my company and high energy and the time I take to ensure they’re safe, fed, comfortable and have had plenty of time for exercise. When it comes to animal care I am definitely the person pet owners would seek out! Pet care works into my schedule in many ways! Essentially I’m available any day or time as I own a snow removal company and am really only busy on the days it snows more then 3” which for me is typically one to two days a week (maybe). How I take care of my puppy, well my dog is served food twice a day about 2 cups of dog food. She is my buisness partner as I work alone, so she rides shot gun everywhere I go when plowing. We have an underground fence although she has been very well trained that she wouldn’t run off even without a collar. My dog can sit, bow, lay down, roll over and I’ve trained her to off leash walk. Everywhere I go I am complimented on how well minded she is. And as a black lab shepherd mix that’s impressive considering the level of engergy she has. In my clients home I will tend to my clients specific instructions as I know every owner to puppy relationship is defferent. I will care for their animal just as they would. And ensure a easy going, safe, and happy environment for the best sitting experience possible.
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 been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.
About: I have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time, and a online class. I can work with your animal Thursday after I get done working till Sunday. Maybe other days depending how close you are. I love on your animal like it was my own. I will send pictures of them if you want updates. Follow the directions you give me on what and when you feed them.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I've been 5 years old. Got my own cat at 10. I've been surrounded by a dog or cat since then. i'm not working at all and looking for a job to do. I got loads of energy and the cold don't bother me much anyways. I just walk dogs. But Ill make sure your dogs are taken care of and have extra water and a bowl every time I take em for a walk.

“We took our dog Sawyer to Cheyenne so we could go on vacation for ten days. He is a rescue and had never been to a sitter or kennel before. Since we had bad experiences with kennels in the past and Cheyenne came so highly recommended, we decided to give her a try. She is super nice and accommodating. She made sure he was happy and sent us picture updates every other day. When we picked him up, he kept trying to go back inside her house, so she must be doing something right, lol. She was very good with him.”

“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!”


“Heather was great with our dog, Rosie! She sent picture updates each day and gave our dog plenty of exercise. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Rosie was taken care of while we were away--hope we can book with you again, Heather! Thanks for everything.”


About: I had to put down my 10 year old lab this winter. I miss having dog, but thought this would be a great way to spoil your dog and have a dog in the house again. I'm not ready for another pet just yet. I will be in charge, as I work from home. Promise lots of walks, private beach if your dog enjoys that and lots of attention. No puppies (can discuss if housebroken) and can provide for senior dogs if needs are reasonable. Thank you! I primarily work from home so your dog will never be left alone for long. I am writer, so I sit at my desk quite a bit. However, those hikes in the woods or walks around the neighborhood are necessary. I would love to have your dog join me. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. I walk, feed and give plenty of attention. You tell me the rest. I miss having our own dog and would love to take care of yours. It's not a good time to get another dog, but I know how to love and care for yours. I work from home and will handle the care of your dog.

“Maggie was an amazing pet sitter for our Bulldog, Edison!! She is kind and loving, and was cognizant of his schedule and caring needs and medications. She took him for several walks and adventures, and made him feel right at home! She kept us updated with many photos and communicated regularly. I could tell that Edison was happy and very well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience! I would trust Maggie to watch him anytime, she was just wonderful.”

“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Lucy. She and Dave have a large fenced-in yard and took Lucy on several walks. She was excellent at communicating, including sending photos and videos. Will definitely hVd her board Lucy again!”

“Jenna was so wonderful with Noodles. She was very prompt with communications and sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jenna, when you need someone to watch over your fur baby.”


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.
“We couldn’t be happier with Jared and the care he provided for our anxious dog Finn! From the moment we met Jared and his sweet dog Charlie we knew Finn would be in good hands during our 10 day trip. It was such a comfort knowing that Finn had all his favorite things from home and that he was allowed on furniture just like at home. Jared was so great at communicating and shared photos often. We could tell that Finn was doing well. He was able to warm up and relax with Jared and Charlie. In the past when Finn stayed at a kennel he was so nervous and upset when he came home afterwards but when we brought him home after staying with Jared Finn was his same sweet self. We will definitely have Finn stay with Jared during any future trips we take. We’re so grateful to have found Jared and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

“Sweet, caring, kind and excellent communication. Lots of updates and pictures of what my dogs were up to. Both of my dogs really enjoyed their stay and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands.”

“This was our dog's second stay with Kendra and she was clearly well cared for and received lots of love and attention. I appreciated the flexible pick up and drop off times and would 100% recommend!”
“Karen was amazing. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. My dogs had an awesome stay in her beautiful fenced in yard. She sent pictures daily. Highly recommend and plan on using her in the future.”

“Audrey was wonderful! We were in a bind last minute and she saved us. Audrey is very responsive, sent pictures of our boy and put my mind at ease. It can be so challenging finding care you trust for your pets but I would absolutely recommend Audrey and would use her again in the future.”
“It was wonderful Jennifer took such good care of Murphy. She sent lots of pictures and he looked right at home He also was in love with her dog! Will definitely use Jennifer any time we need a pet sitter”
