Personalized care for your dog or cat - McFarland

“When we got stranded on vacation because of the crazy blizzard of 2026, Dylan came in for the save and agreed to board Rudy for an unexpected 3 extra days! What a life saver! Rudy enjoyed his stay and we’ll definitely rebook with Dylan in the future! Thank you!”

“Abigail was the perfect fit for watching Scotch for a weekend! She was quick to respond, kept us updated with texts and pictures and took such great care of Scotch! She allowed a meet and greet prior to the weekend to put Scotch and I at ease. He was smiling our whole way home. We will absolutely use Abigail again and recommend her to anyone who wants to be sure to have a trusting and loving dog sitter!”

“Fred took great care of our Aussie and kept me updated on how he was doing every day. I could tell our dog liked him right away and felt good about leaving him with Fred.”

Meghan B.

“Had our grandma doggo for 3 days, arrived on time for pick up and did a great job keeping her busy for the weekend. Absolutely great pet hosts and will use them again in the future, they were able to be home for the weekend, took my old anxious girl on walks around Marquette’s best spots and responded to every message I had checking in on things. My dog has had trouble with being left alone in the past and they are able to accommodate her needs.”

About: I have a 15 year old male Shi-tzu that I take hiking and camping. I also have a 2 year old male cat, indoor/outdoor, and I'm caring for a 10yo male cat and 6yo female cat for some friends while they search for a home. They all get along well together but can be kept separate from your pet. I've had pets my whole life. As an adult I've cared for roommates pets, checked on pets for friends and family when they've been out of town, and I've fostered cats. I've had interactions with a wide variety of dog breeds so I'm willing to work with any breeds and ages as long as they're ok with other animals. I work from home, self-employed, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have regular health care appointments every week, which takes me away for an hour or so, and have at home visits twice a week, but none of that should interfere. I'm in two choirs, so I'm away Tuesday and Thursday evenings for a few hours. So I am at my house the majority of the time. I live in the country in a trailer home (single size). I'm surrounded by woods but I have an ATV trail in front of my house and no fence. I would need a tether of some sort for dogs and have tethered and leash walked cats. I do have tethers and leashes for small dogs or cats. I don't use a kennel for my dog so I don't have any at my house, but am fine with using your dogs kennel in my house. I am able to separate my pets from your pets in my house, if there are any issues.

“We left our pup with Mike and Dallas for a week. It was like he was on vacation! Lots of hikes and snuggles. Also, continuous updates and photos. I definitely recommend these Rovers!”

“Heidi was a great dog sitter! She was very communicative with us and gave Henry lots of attention and love. Her dog is a big sweetheart, and the house is a great, dog friendly space!”

“Jen was great and cared for our three very senior kitties like they were her own! Was very observant and sent me updates each day, then left detailed notes for us when we returned. Cats this age (18) require a careful eye and we were very reassured that she was watching them. SO glad to have found Jen!”

About: I have been responsible for many of friends and family's cat check ins, feedings and box cleanings, have my own who love to play, and need to get energy out as well as get love and be fed. Have had to administer both oral and topical medications.

“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.”

“Mike and Dallas were wonderful with our dog Raina. We got to meet both of them when we first came. We left them a note including commands Raina knows and things to be aware of about her. We hope to use them periodically for dog care care and then also for a trip sometime this winter when we can't easily take Raina. She had a long walk and ate her dinner there and came home happy. They were great at communication and sent us a picture of her on the snowy walk. We are delighted to find them. We have used Rover before but not for awhile. Thanks very much.”

She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and well cared for!! I could tell that my dog absolutely adored her! I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and compassionate to care for their pets!!”

About: Hi! I’m Abigail, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the time to learn their unique personality, routines, and needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m committed to giving each pet individualized attention and plenty of affection. My goal is simple: for your dog to have such a great experience that they’re excited to come back! I’d love to meet you and your pup and help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶❤️ I work full-time Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and I’m available for pet care after work on weekdays and all day on weekends. Whether it’s an evening walk, dinner and playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. Weekends are perfect for longer visits, extra play, and plenty of cuddle time I care for pets in a very hands-on, attentive way and always try to make them feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and reassurance. If pets stay in my home, I create a peaceful environment where they can settle in and feel relaxed. I stay observant of their needs and personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra comfort.

“Jen walked my dog, Hank, morning and evening for a month while I recovered from surgery. She was always on time, cheerful and amazingly good with Hank. She did some excellent training with him (and me) - Hank did well, I’ll be hiring her to train me soon. She has my highest recommendation!”

About: I worked at a local vet clinic (2023-2025) as a receptionist and a vet assistant. It is not my chosen career path, but I did learn valuable skills and knowledge on caring for pets, especially ones with health concerns, as well as triaging for urgent cases and emergencies. I have taken training classes with one of my pups at home from beginner to advanced. I have experience with puppies,adults, and senior dogs, plus dogs with health issues. I have some experience sitting for cats, including kitties post-major surgery, and I grew up with cats who I had from the time they were kittens through to old age. I am comfortable with pets of all ages! I also grew up with dogs as big as Old English Mastiffs and as small as tea cup Chihuahuas, so I am comfortable with all sizes as well. I work full time, and my schedule changes week to week. I work anywhere from 5 hours shifts to 8 hours. I am unable to leave for lunch breaks or anything like that, so I am available for pets who are able to be left alone up to 8 hours on days that I work. I do get two days off a week, and those days I'm available all day and can adjust my routine and schedule around your pets! I have two playful pups at home that love to meet new people and dogs! Every 4-8 hours they go on potty breaks in the yard, which is decently big for running around. They go on 30 minute walks almost every day and a special hike or activity at least once a week. Caring for the pups is split between my boyfriend and I. While no one is home, my pups have free-range of and kitchen with all doors closed throughout the day. They always have access to toys, fresh water, and couches/dog beds to lounge on. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in our bed with us at night, but we have two dog beds available as options. We love to give a couple treats/snacks throughout the day as well! I really enjoy making the time spent other pups fun, so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their people are away. As a pet parent myself, I respectfully follow all of my client's rules and what is required regarding their pets and home.

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.
