“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”
“Our dog had a great vacation at Mary's house. She was very easy to contact, flexible with travel times, and most importantly she took great care of our dog, Georgia! We loved seeing the pics she sent while we were away. Thanks Mary! We'd definitely leave Georgia at your house again.”
“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”
“This was Tucker’s first stay with Christine and it went very well. She is very good at keeping the dogs busy and exercised so they stay involved and don’t think about missing us. She sent us several videos during Tucker’s stay that helped us see he was doing well. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Olivia was great! Very friendly and responsive, it was super easy to coordinate drop off and pickup and our dog had a great time! Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend.”
“Rex had an amazing stay with Andrew and Jane! we would definitely have him stay there again, they were great with communication and sent us videos and photo updates.”
“Kept in contact with me throughout the dog sitting. I could tell with every picture that was sent, my dogs were having a good time. I definitely will use this dog sitter again.”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”
“Thanks so much, Emily & Ryan! We appreciated all the picture updates, and Calvin obviously had a wonderful time. You guys were always quick to respond, helpful, and flexible. We hope to book again in future.”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“This was my first time boarding with Nancy, and everything was great. My dog was very comfortable there, and I felt very reassured with the photos and updates. I felt like Lola had a nice vacation with new friends!”
“Natasha was great with my dog. He can be nervous with people he doesn’t know, so Natasha was very patient and sweet with him. She sent lots of pictures and videos which really put my mind at ease. Would definitely book with Natasha again!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Jordan was amazing with my Charlie, she sent updates and pictures. Charlie looked like he was having a great time, thank you so much for being a great sitter, we would definitely use her services again.”
“Tiff was more than amazing. I will be booking her from here on at. The environment is very clean and safe. She treated my baby pup with love. She keep me updated it was my first experience getting a sitter. She was beyond amazing. I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”

About: I've grown up caring for pets, so I understand how much love, patience, and consistency animals need. For the past two years, I've pet sat in clients' homes, staying overnight when needed so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I have experience with dogs and cats. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, basic care, and lots of attention and affection. I always make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and thoughtful care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore—I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates so they feel comfortable while away. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed in a familiar environment.
About: I grew up on a farm and we always had over 20 cats. I currently have 3 and love them dearly. We have a ragdoll and he is so loving. The picture on my profile is him. He loves to be carried around like a baby. I will take car of you cat as my own.
About: I absolutely adore animals, but dogs are what I know best. I've always grown up with a dog in my house and currently live with 2 now. I’m happy to help in any way I can while I’m back in school pursuing a degree in healthcare :) I’m currently in school and have classes on Mondays over the summer. I’m happy to work around my study schedule to provide care for your pets. In your home what you say goes. I’m there for your pet and to respect your space. I know how I would feel letting someone in my home, so I hope to put your mind at ease.
“Kelly was so sweet and so good with our dog. She watched him for a couple drop ins last minute after our sitter cancelled. She was always either on time or early, stayed later than expected to, sent great pictures and gave us updates! I highly recommend Kelly!”
About: I have three pets (two dogs and a kitten). I have had my dogs since they were puppies and trained both. They are basic and advanced command trained, crate trained, and potty trained. My sister successfully captured a stray kitten and after getting him fully vetted he is now our indoor cat who has been successfully litter trained. I have babysat many of my neighbors dogs and love walking my two dogs. I know how to deliver medicine to pets and feel comfortable caring for older pets. I'm currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule! I am available most weekends and during the week. I start a hybrid college course in January. When I visit your home I ensure to leave things the way I found them (hang up leashed/put toys away) and I am happy to meet a home before care for instructions.
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry companions, and understand their needs and energy completely. With boundless enthusiasm and endless patience, I’m here to provide a loving, engaging experience for your pets! I am available for early morning shifts, evenings, and weekends, and I can generally accommodate your schedule with at least 24 hours' notice if needed. I maintain a safe and minimalist environment that provides ample space for your cats or dogs to play. Additionally, I can rearrange the areas in various configurations to meet your pets' needs.
About: Growing up my mom always told my family it was "either us or a pet" forbidding us to allow a pet inside. In her defense, she grew up in Europe, their pets were kept/lived outside, and she loves her house spotless. Ever since I can remember animals have had a huge place in my heart. All of the summer has been spent on the docks/marina in New Buffalo with that being said many boaters have dogs. The rule in the marina is that dogs are only allowed to use the bathroom by the railroad tracks, which is about a 15-minute process. So when I was about 8 I started a business on the docks and would take anyone's dog to go the bathroom/walk/play making it convenient for dog owners through The Moore marina. Ever since then, I have cat/dog sat while people have been out of town and in my college town take my friend's dog on a walk or to the dog park. This summer I will be in 10 semester hours for classes through the University of Iowa which is all online allowing me a very flexible schedule. My assignment will be assigned to me Monday and be due either Friday or Sunday night. In between watching lectures and doing homework taking a study break to play or go on a walk with a dog would be refreshing and fill me with happiness. When it comes to dog walking or playing, the most important thing is to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet. A checklist I made for myself to ensure the a safe and fun evirovernmnet : 1) Before starting the walk or play session, I make that the dog has had a chance to go to the bathroom and has access to water. 2) Choose a safe and appropriate area for the walk or play session. If walking in a neighborhood, make sure to use a leash and avoid busy roads or areas with heavy foot traffic. If playing in a park, make sure the area is fenced in and safe for dogs to run and play. 3) Monitor the dog's behavior and adjust the intensity of the walk or play session accordingly. Some dogs may need a more vigorous workout, while others may prefer a more leisurely pace. 4)Bring along water and treats for the dog to reward good behavior and keep them hydrated. 5) Always clean up after the dog by bringing waste bags and properly disposing of any waste. 6)After the walk or play session, check the dog for any injuries or signs of exhaustion. Give them a chance to rest and provide them with fresh water. Every dog is different, and it's important to me to tailor my care to the individual needs of the pet.
About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.
“Top tier Rover. Emily is always saving me in a tight spot and taking care of my kitty, Nyx, during my ultra last minute holiday plans or emergencies.

About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: I’ve taken care of both my family’s dog (Gus) and helped neighbors and friends with their pets since I was a kid. I’m hoping to find the same sort of work here now that I’ve moved I moved into the area recently and I’m looking for work that fits well with my other responsibilities. I have plenty of time to take care of and play with dogs I have a fenced in back yard, no carpeting, a large house space, and I live in a neighborhood that’s away from major roads with a lot of room for walking. It’s an ideal place for dogs!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so getting older & widening my love for animals into a job seemed so fitting. I really enjoy those outdoors walks & dog park visits I am able to get in. Not only do the animals need to burn off energy, but I do as well! I currently am working a part-time hostess job at Casey’s in New Buffalo while I do only college classes at the same time, but still have plenty of hours in the day to attend to your fur babies! I am extremely flexible to any needs. I prefer watching the fur babies at the clients home because the pets are more comfortable there & can do their daily routines there. I would rather adjust myself than to have them adjust!

“Corrine did a fantastic job with our dog. She met him a day before the scheduled walk to make sure our dog was comfortable with her (which he 100% was). She took him on a nice walk and sent pictures which we appreciated. We will definitely contact Corrine next time we need a walk for our dog.”
“Brandi was absolutely amazing!!! On time and attentive to our pup. She communicated throughout our trip to let us know how things were going and even picked up a pkg outside our door for us!!! Thank you Brandi!!”
About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

About: Hi, I'm a 36 year old animal lover, I've had dogs and cats most of my life. Currently I don't have any pets due to the rules where I live, but I'd love to treat your pets like my own. Walks, baths or whatever the goodest boys and girls want/need. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I currently have a pretty open schedule except 2-8pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday (can be worked around for the right situation). I have plenty of time to make sure your best friend is living their best lives while you're away. Pets are my top priority, potty and breakfast first thing in the morning, a nice walk around the neighborhood, lots of playtime especially for those high energy breeds, brushings and bathes for the dirty doggos and add in pretty painted nails for the pretty goodest girls.

“Our dog had a great vacation at Mary's house. She was very easy to contact, flexible with travel times, and most importantly she took great care of our dog, Georgia! We loved seeing the pics she sent while we were away. Thanks Mary! We'd definitely leave Georgia at your house again.”
“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”
“This was Tucker’s first stay with Christine and it went very well. She is very good at keeping the dogs busy and exercised so they stay involved and don’t think about missing us. She sent us several videos during Tucker’s stay that helped us see he was doing well. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Rex had an amazing stay with Andrew and Jane! we would definitely have him stay there again, they were great with communication and sent us videos and photo updates.”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”
“Thanks so much, Emily & Ryan! We appreciated all the picture updates, and Calvin obviously had a wonderful time. You guys were always quick to respond, helpful, and flexible. We hope to book again in future.”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Jordan was amazing with my Charlie, she sent updates and pictures. Charlie looked like he was having a great time, thank you so much for being a great sitter, we would definitely use her services again.”
“Tiff was more than amazing. I will be booking her from here on at. The environment is very clean and safe. She treated my baby pup with love. She keep me updated it was my first experience getting a sitter. She was beyond amazing. I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Pam watched our two boys for a week and I never once felt worried or uneasy about anything. She truly loved the boys like they were her own. We live in Illinois and made the hour and a half drive based on recommendations from my Mom! I would make that drive anytime that I know Pam is watching my babies.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
“Kimberlee and her family loved our dog as if he were their own. They even gave us some training tops for our young dog. I will return again and again for such excellent care!”
