“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“Don’t know what we would do without Joni, she is fantastic with our counter surfing, up every hour at night, crazy Weimaraner! We are totally comfortable leaving our baby with Joni! 🐾”
“Highly recommend! Cooper was well taken care of and Martha provided regular updates with photos. She went above and beyond, taking him for walks and playing fetch. It was heart warming to see Cooper cuddle up to her as we left, not wanting to leave. A true testament to her care and attention. We will definitely be seeing her for future boarding opportunities!”
“Excellent! Highly recommended -- This is the second time Michelle has watched Polly for us, and is incredible, excellent communication and takes amazing care of Polly. A++++”
“Ebby loves her stays with Ed! She has the opportunity to play with other dogs and gets so much attention! Ed texted us pics of Ebby while we were gone. It is such a relief to know Ebby is in good hands when we can't have her with us.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sara and John! They went above and beyond caring for my two dogs this weekend—sending lots of pictures, keeping me updated, and even doing the cutest little activities with them. It was clear my pups were in great hands and having a wonderful time. I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing they were being so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We really appreciated Kumar agreeing to take on Baxter last minute after our previous plan fell through! He sent photo updates to let us know how our little guy was doing. Drop off and pickup was easy!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“Donielle is a phenomenal pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog, and we never worried for a minute. She has years of experience and took fantastic care of our pup. It felt like our dog was on her own vacation and having so much fun she didn't even miss us! I highly recommend Donielle for her professional and caring service.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sage, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience giving pills, shots, and other medications, as well as caring for both senior cats who need a little extra patience and love, and playful kittens and puppies. I’ve also helped with potty training for puppies and understand the unique attention that both young and elderly pets require. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, comfort, and kindness to your pets as I do my own. I have evenings open to love on your pets! If you have a busy night planned or a late night at work, leave your pet in my hands! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. As a sitter, I provide respectful, reliable care that follows your pet’s normal routine, from feeding and playtime to medications and cuddles. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or needs special attention, I treat them with patience and love—just like my own two cats. I know my way around Mount Pleasant trails and parks when your pet needs to get some energy out!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

“You are literally the best. I had the best night in years and I appreciate you more than I could ever tell you accepting my extremely late request. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, prompt.”
About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.
About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

About: Hi there! My name is Ruby, and I was born and raised in Clinton County, MI. Growing up, my family had a variety of pets, including an Old English Bulldog and German Shepherds, which helped shape my love for dogs from an early age. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we’re renting, I’m looking to take on opportunities like this to earn some extra income during my final summer before graduating. I absolutely love dogs, have experience pet sitting and staying overnight with pets on multiple occasions, and some of my favorite breeds are Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. My schedule varies, so I’m using this as an opportunity to help fill in the gaps on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, I’m hoping to build consistent work so I can establish reliable income while also getting to know and build relationships with specific pups over time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep in mind that I’m stepping into their space and routine, and that their pet may not know me yet. I make it a priority to take the time to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by moving at their pace, respecting their routines, and building trust. Whether that means going for walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I aim to create a calm and positive experience while making sure your pet feels cared for in a familiar environment.

“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”

“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“Highly recommend! Cooper was well taken care of and Martha provided regular updates with photos. She went above and beyond, taking him for walks and playing fetch. It was heart warming to see Cooper cuddle up to her as we left, not wanting to leave. A true testament to her care and attention. We will definitely be seeing her for future boarding opportunities!”
“Excellent! Highly recommended -- This is the second time Michelle has watched Polly for us, and is incredible, excellent communication and takes amazing care of Polly. A++++”
“Ebby loves her stays with Ed! She has the opportunity to play with other dogs and gets so much attention! Ed texted us pics of Ebby while we were gone. It is such a relief to know Ebby is in good hands when we can't have her with us.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sara and John! They went above and beyond caring for my two dogs this weekend—sending lots of pictures, keeping me updated, and even doing the cutest little activities with them. It was clear my pups were in great hands and having a wonderful time. I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing they were being so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We really appreciated Kumar agreeing to take on Baxter last minute after our previous plan fell through! He sent photo updates to let us know how our little guy was doing. Drop off and pickup was easy!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
About: Ever since I was little, I have loved all kinds of animals and hope to one day have a career working with them. I have been helping care for my own dogs since I was around six years old and have experience with both large breeds, like Labrador Retrievers, and small breeds, like Chihuahuas. I have also cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family while they were away. In addition to dogs and cats, I have owned and cared for two hamsters, a Canadian goose, three ducks, and have experience helping care for horses. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. Currently, I have two Labrador Retrievers named Annie and Delta, and I love spending time caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications, as one of my dogs requires seizure medication three times a day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every animal I look after. I am a junior at Hope College home for the summer so my schedule is fairly open and I am very flexible. I am usually busy weekends and Tuesday and Thursday nights when I am coaching lacrosse. I can care for your dog in your home just as you would care for your dog if you were home. I could easily crate your dog if needed, take them for walks, feed them, and take them out to use the bathroom.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
“Hope was great with Ernie! I knew he was in capable, trustworthy hands when I dropped him off at her house. Hope gave me several updates during his stay. She went above and beyond my expectations, I highly recommend Hope to watch your dog.”
