“I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to experience Rachel as our dog sitter. She communicated well throughout her stay with pictures as well. She was so friendly and reliable which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Amazing people. Amazing family. My dog has major separation anxiety and they made her feel so comfortable. She was with them for 3.5 days and Kimberly & Jeremy sent updates and photos everyday which eased my worry mind. I thought they would text me and say come pick her up because she's too anxious, but no, she would just inform me that my dog is playing with toys, cuddling with her daughter, running around with their three other amazing little dogs and just settling down. You know they're good people when you feel bad for picking your dog up because they probably had more fun with them. 101% would recommend!”
“Caroline was great with communicating. We were greatly appreciative of her welcoming Bentley to stay last minute, seeing our other boarder had to back out due to a family emergency. Bentley seemed to enjoy his time there. He had one behavior problem that was very unusual for him, but Caroline was open and honest about what happened. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Bentley with her again.”
“Michelle was amazing with our 1 year old Lab and we knew she was in good hands for the holiday weekend as soon as we met her! She most definitely is a dog lover, great with communication, sent wonderful pictures and provided welcome feedback. We will most certainly use her again next time we are in her area.”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“Nikki and family did an excellent job taking care of Charlie. They were nice enough to meet up before Charlie’s stay, and they provided updates throughout his stay too. I hope they have Charlie back in the future as well.”
“Angela took great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent pictures to update us on how much fun they were having. Booking and communication with her was very seamless. We will definitely consider her again if needing boarding while in the area!”
“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!”
“First time our 5 year old mini daushound spent at a sitters Sophie had a great time! Lisa is attentive to her needs and interested in Sophie being welcomed into her home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with Miss Sophie. Sophie will be coming to visit again.”
“Cheryl watched my pup, Isla overnight and it was a wonderful experience for both Isla and me! Cheryl made the stay so welcoming and comfortable for Isla! She was so willing to do whatever she could to make Isla comfortable and happy! We will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future and definitely recommend her! Thank you Cheryl! ❤️”
“Lisa was so kind to my special-needs pup and really put my mind at ease! It sounds like he enjoyed snuggled in bed, resting on the couch, and taking scenic country walks with Lisa. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times. Would definitely board with her again!”
“Sally was absolutely phenomenal!!! We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch our pups. She was so easy to communicate with, and even sent us picture updates throughout the weekend of how each of our two dogs were doing. We have a black lab and a Maltese and her home was perfect for them both. It meant a lot to us to know that our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away for the weekend! We will absolutely be contacting Sally again in the future for any dog sitting needs.”
“Stephanie and Scott took very good care of my dog who took a liking to both of them. I had several pictures about Lucy’s visit and was very pleased to see her say thanks when we left. Highly recommended.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.
“Michelle was so sweet to our elderly blind terrier. She was understanding of his special needs and medications. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Michelle is a great sitter and we will use her whenever our schedules mesh.”
“Dan was very easy to coordinate given my logistics were a moving target. If you have a senior & friendly dog Dan is a gem! He’s patient and kind and his Senior dogs are lovely and welcoming to both humans and new canines! I highly recommend Dan!”
“Roxanne is our favorite person to watch our girl. We know that she gets the love and attention we would give her at home and we feel completely at peace while we’re away knowing she’s in great hands. 100% recommend Roxanne!”

“Last minute Rover booking for 17 consecutive days. Bethany did a wonderful job of taking care of my cat and sending many pictures as well as a little description of the time spent with him every day! Had a rough storm come through while I was gone and she even let me know and cleaned up the water that came through the front door!! Great communication, amazing energy, and a wonderful pet sitter. Highly recommend if you are looking for a sitter!!”
About: The most experience I have with cats is from having two of my own. I raised one since she was a few months old or so. She’s about 4 years old now. I have roughly 4 years or more of cat experience. I still have more to learn with cats and I’m learning every day with my cats at home.
“Noah was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and made me feel very confident in Sisko's care. He sent pictures every day, as we agreed to, and sent extras if asked. My apartment was left in great shape and Sisko seemed in good spirits. Would 100% recommend, and 100% consider hiring for another stay.”
“Tristin was great with my 2 kitties. One of my kitties gets very anxious when I am away and sometimes makes messes outside the litter box. Tristin went above and beyond doing some cleaning when this happened. My cat even came out of hiding a few times when he was there. And that is saying a lot. I can not recommend Tristin enough.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year.

Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.

“Rachel and Ivan took great care of our dog, Gus, during a recent visit to Traverse City! We wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch Gus again should we visit in the future!”
About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“We hired Brooklyn for 2 days of doggy daycare as we were camping in the area and wanted to do some long distance trails that our senior pup can no longer manage. Brooklyn was quick to communicate and was extremely responsive from the moment we inquired about her watching our dog. She did a wonderful job, sent us photos and when we picked up our dog she was busy playing with Brooklyn that she didn't even want to come home with us. Brooklyn was great and we appreciate her helping us out so we could enjoy all the wonderful trails in the area. If Brooklyn is still in the area when we come to the area next year I will make sure to check with Brooklyn first to see if she's available for watching our dog!”

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
About: I’m more than a dog sitter 😁 if you want someone who will play, walk, and entertain your dog, you’ve found your match! I’m the dog mom who does everything with her dogs. I have 3of my own large breed dogs, and fostered 12 others with my husband and enjoyed every moment of it! Most of them were under the age of 1 year old, so we did all the potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I exposed them to different environments, other dogs, and taught them a lot during their time with us which was anywhere from a month to 4 months. I’m reliable and really intentional about the care of animals. I love my dogs as if they were my kids and I’d treat yours with the same care! I have a full time job, but can work from home some days. I dog sit because I love it and I know how important it is to find someone who will make my dogs feel safe and happy. I intend to do that for those I serve 😊🐶 Note: I generally do not accept requests for house sitting over 4 nights at a time. I love routine and know how animals can thrive in that even when their humans are gone. So I would be happy to keep consistency for your pet if that means being let out at certain times or walked before you get home etc. For doggy daycare: I have a fenced yard and 3 of my own fur babies who love to play with other dogs! I also have a separate gated area in my home if there needs to be separation at times. For House Sitting: (I won’t accept requests over 4 nights). I will follow the owners preferences and safety measures they have in place. I also recommend meet and greets so I understand how you expect things done/handled.

I’ve been boarding animals since I was 9 years old so I am very confident in my skills! I hope you will trust me with your pets and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I’m currently working from home while raising my two children. I am very flexible with times and frequency of care. I am happy to help! I have a good sized fenced in yard and a 3 bedroom house so we have plenty of room for puppy cuddles and play time!

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.

I believe animals are the best things on the planet and they can do no wrong! I’m currently a full time student pursuing an aviation maintenance career! I’m at school 7am-3pm Mon-Fri. Although, I can leave school whenever to take of your pets! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for pets to run around! My personal pets are dog and cat friendly. I have multiple crates and carriers if need be!

“I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to experience Rachel as our dog sitter. She communicated well throughout her stay with pictures as well. She was so friendly and reliable which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Caroline was great with communicating. We were greatly appreciative of her welcoming Bentley to stay last minute, seeing our other boarder had to back out due to a family emergency. Bentley seemed to enjoy his time there. He had one behavior problem that was very unusual for him, but Caroline was open and honest about what happened. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Bentley with her again.”
“Michelle was amazing with our 1 year old Lab and we knew she was in good hands for the holiday weekend as soon as we met her! She most definitely is a dog lover, great with communication, sent wonderful pictures and provided welcome feedback. We will most certainly use her again next time we are in her area.”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“Nikki and family did an excellent job taking care of Charlie. They were nice enough to meet up before Charlie’s stay, and they provided updates throughout his stay too. I hope they have Charlie back in the future as well.”
“Angela took great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent pictures to update us on how much fun they were having. Booking and communication with her was very seamless. We will definitely consider her again if needing boarding while in the area!”
“Cheryl watched my pup, Isla overnight and it was a wonderful experience for both Isla and me! Cheryl made the stay so welcoming and comfortable for Isla! She was so willing to do whatever she could to make Isla comfortable and happy! We will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future and definitely recommend her! Thank you Cheryl! ❤️”
“Lisa was so kind to my special-needs pup and really put my mind at ease! It sounds like he enjoyed snuggled in bed, resting on the couch, and taking scenic country walks with Lisa. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times. Would definitely board with her again!”
“Sally was absolutely phenomenal!!! We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch our pups. She was so easy to communicate with, and even sent us picture updates throughout the weekend of how each of our two dogs were doing. We have a black lab and a Maltese and her home was perfect for them both. It meant a lot to us to know that our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away for the weekend! We will absolutely be contacting Sally again in the future for any dog sitting needs.”
“Stephanie and Scott took very good care of my dog who took a liking to both of them. I had several pictures about Lucy’s visit and was very pleased to see her say thanks when we left. Highly recommended.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.
“Michelle was so sweet to our elderly blind terrier. She was understanding of his special needs and medications. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Michelle is a great sitter and we will use her whenever our schedules mesh.”
“Dan was very easy to coordinate given my logistics were a moving target. If you have a senior & friendly dog Dan is a gem! He’s patient and kind and his Senior dogs are lovely and welcoming to both humans and new canines! I highly recommend Dan!”
“Roxanne is our favorite person to watch our girl. We know that she gets the love and attention we would give her at home and we feel completely at peace while we’re away knowing she’s in great hands. 100% recommend Roxanne!”
About: We are a family of 2 kiddos, who love hockey and choir and bellybean brings us all the laughs and cuddles. The Family is easy-going and very understanding of life circumstances. We pride ourselves on personal attention given to your fur babies and adventures outdoors. We currently have one golden retriever who is three years old as of December 2024. She is playful and friendly, submissive and calm. Any questions are welcome. I’m home based for work and enjoy helping with projects objects within a company as a consultant. I am available for puppy attention, overnight and long-term care for dogs that are vaccinated and treated for flea and tick. We are busiest in the winter months with personal sports, and open to adventures throughout the year/day with animals included. We have a safe environment. I do keep our bedroom doors closed. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to ask. Currently our pets are cared for not crate trained. Ing is an option however. I offer daily walks and multiple catch and throw opportunities daily.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year. I work full time 12 hour shifts. I am able to care for dogs during that time if the owner is comfortable with the dog being left home for 12 hours. Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.
“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! Our daughter’s wedding was on this day and she stayed with our two dogs at the resort during all of the wedding festivities. She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)”
