“Rachel and Ivan were incredible hosts and took such good care of our dog. They were very flexible when our travel plans got delayed and sent us updates while we were gone. Will definitely have our pup stay with them again!”
“AWESOME experience! Kim is super accommodating and great to work with. Our special needs pup was snuggled and loved! We changed plans last minute over a holiday- Kim was wonderful to work with, making sure our pups were cared for and we had a blast on vacation. Highly recommend them!”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Angela was great! She responded quickly to messages, sent daily updates with pictures, and our dog had a wonderful time running around with her dog. He came back a tired and happy pup. I would recommend!”
“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!”

“My two girls (lab and golden) had such a great time. They were loved and cared for as if their own. They also had a ton of fun outside play time and came home super tired. They live on a beautiful little lake. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my sweeties.”
“Stephanie & Scott took such great care of our shy dog. Knowing she was in good hands was such a relief for us. They did an amazing job and made her feel right at home. Thank you!”
“Our dogs love going to Sally’s! She takes them on regular walks and even arranged a play date for our very active Aussie puppy. We have an energetic puppy and an senior, mellow, Newfoundland. That’s a big diversity to look after! It’s especially nice that Sally makes sure that both dogs get love and activity at a level appropriate for their individual needs. ❤️”
“Colleen EXCEEDED our expectations. We were traveling about 3 hours from the detroit area up to traverse city and we booked Colleen to care for our year old Yorkie teddy. We had never met her before but I just knew from looking at her photo that she was a sweet, kind and trusting person. I was absolutely correct. From the second she welcomed us into her house we were so comfortable and we laughed. Even my 1 year old was smiling and laughing with her. She really is incredible. I don't worry about Teddy for one second. She sent updates every day. She was excellent. If I go to traverse city again I will ONLY book Colleen.”
“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.”
“Daniel took excellent care of our collie Emma. He gave us daily updates. We particularly liked the fact that he took her (and his own two dogs) for walks multiple times daily. Will definitely use his services again!”
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.

“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!!”
“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.”
“Erika did a fantastic job! She took the best care of our 2 kitties while we were gone for a week. Our cats’ food, water, and litter boxes were clean and refilled. She took extra time to find them each time she visited, sent pictures, and gave them treats. She even brought in packages and our dumpster over the week. Highly recommend Erika and will be booking again with her!!”
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.
“Tiffany gave us so much peace of mind, dropping in on our two cats while we were away. She sent great photos, updates, and even took our garbage cans to the curb when we forgot! I would definitely recommend her to anyone, and hope to have her back when we travel again!”
“Madison was very friendly and communicative, and I felt confident that my cat, Chloe, was under great care while we were away. I will definitely book with Madison again in the future!”
“Great cat sitter!! Very attentive to my cat and relaxed him in a way that others have not been able to do. Multiple pics and detailed daily cards were awesome. A great person to have take care of your fur babies. Would highly recommend!!”
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that cats thrive on routine, patience, and a calm environment. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to observe from a cozy hiding spot, I’ll respect their personality and care for them at their own pace. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime (if they’re interested), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep an eye on their overall well being and let you know if I notice anything unusual. I understand how much peace of mind matters while you’re away, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make your absence as stress free as possible, for both you and your cat.
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

“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.

About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.

About: Let me start by saying, I LOVE animals! I have 2 Siberian Huskies and a black lab. My daughter, Lainie has taken after me in her love for animals. She’s very gentle and loves to cuddle as long as your pup is comfortable. We’ve got plenty of outside running space in our fenced in backyard. 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!
“Olivia has been great with my working line German Shepherd. He’s very high energy and can be a handful sometimes, but she handles him with patience and confidence. He loves his walks with her! Highly recommend :)”
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 and can only do weekends at this time! 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 3 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 3 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.

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’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your fur child is in good hands. I am currently self employed and work my own hours and schedule however I choose! So I have the flexibility to be available whenever your fur baby needs care! I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Before each stay or visit, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, favorite toys, and any special needs or quirks. In my home, pets receive plenty of love, attention, supervised playtime, and a comfortable, clean environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I also make sure they have plenty of opportunities to rest and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, lots of affection (if they enjoy it!), clean up after them, and make sure they receive any medications or special care exactly as instructed. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that keeps both pets and their owners comfortable and confident.

I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy the great outdoors! We’ll enjoy many walks and cuddles!! If your pup enjoys it we have plenty of toys to play fetch with too. Your pup will be treated like family! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate just about any arrangement that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! :) Expect lots of walks, playing fetch, dog play dates (if they’re up for it) cuddles, photos for their parents, treats…They will be showered with love!

“Rachel and Ivan were incredible hosts and took such good care of our dog. They were very flexible when our travel plans got delayed and sent us updates while we were gone. Will definitely have our pup stay with them again!”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
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.”
“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.”
“Angela was great! She responded quickly to messages, sent daily updates with pictures, and our dog had a wonderful time running around with her dog. He came back a tired and happy pup. I would recommend!”
“Lisa was kind, communicative, and provided exceptional care for our Finny! She also responded last minute to our request. Thank you Lisa!! We will be reconnecting for future care.”
“My two girls (lab and golden) had such a great time. They were loved and cared for as if their own. They also had a ton of fun outside play time and came home super tired. They live on a beautiful little lake. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my sweeties.”
“Stephanie & Scott took such great care of our shy dog. Knowing she was in good hands was such a relief for us. They did an amazing job and made her feel right at home. Thank you!”
“Our dogs love going to Sally’s! She takes them on regular walks and even arranged a play date for our very active Aussie puppy. We have an energetic puppy and an senior, mellow, Newfoundland. That’s a big diversity to look after! It’s especially nice that Sally makes sure that both dogs get love and activity at a level appropriate for their individual needs. ❤️”
“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.”
“Daniel took excellent care of our collie Emma. He gave us daily updates. We particularly liked the fact that he took her (and his own two dogs) for walks multiple times daily. Will definitely use his services again!”
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.
“Roxanne is the only care giver we trust with our Dolly. Roxanne is attentive to Dolly’s special needs, and Dolly is always cheerful and refreshed with each visit to Roxanne!”
“Marg was wonderful with our very high demand puppy. She provided lots of pupdates and gave him so many fun opportunities to get his energy out on special adventure walks. I would recommend Marg to anyone.”
“She was so amazing, her and her family took such amazing care of our baby Ori while we were away. Even going above and beyond in giving Ori her ear medication nightly. They sent updates and pictures/videos daily. It was obvious they made her to feel she was part of their family and made her comfortable while we were gone. If I ever need a doggy sitter again, they are who I’ll continue to choose.”
“She and her husband did a wonderful job of caring for kur Labrador retriever for nearly two weeks. You can tell that they treat your dog like their own. Very pleased with Allison’s service in every way.”
