“Rodney watched our dog Reese. He is awesome! He makes dogs feel at home, has a beautiful yard, and his dogs are very sweet. I’d give Rodney more than 5 stars if it was possible.”
“Coddy and Byron took such great care of our 8 month old goldendoodle! He was spoiled and got lots of love, exercise, and playtime with their dogs. And their property is perfect for lots of outdoor play. Communication was also great. We definitely plan on scheduling with them again.”
“Christine was amazing with our dog. Everything was very professional! Our dog was happy & clean when we picked her up. We would definitely have our dog stay again.”
“We couldn’t have found a better person to leave our 1 yr. Old Goldendoodle with during our first time away from him for 9 days. Caroline always sent daily videos several times a day. She interacts with the dogs in her care and you can see how well they are taken care of by her. She has the perfect set up in her home and yard. She and her husband make a great team. We missed our pup so much and it was nice to have reassurance and see for ourselves how he was doing good in the videos. He was having so much fun we were equally sad and happy when we picked him up. He will definitely be back. We can’t thank Caroline enough for her obvious love and care she has for canines. ❤️”
“I love knowing Sarah is taking good care of our dog Basil when we go on vacation. I love that Basil gets an opportunity to socialize with other dogs while we're gone, also. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Brooklyn was great. Sent plenty of pictures. Ammo was a little timid at first. Brooklyn sent me picture and kept me updated on his comfortability progression and it didn't take long. Work recommend her for sure!”
“Moxie had an amazing time with Arling and his wife. Since Moxie is a puppy, they kept her on her schedule and followed the same routine that we have established. All the personal attention was great! The pictures of the walks they took warmed our hearts! We will most definitely be using them again.”
“Ghost had an amazing time with Mariana! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsive. Mariana provided regular updates and photos, and she even followed Ghost’s puppy schedule perfectly. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog!”
“Very responsive to messages! I appreciated the pictures of our dog while they were there and could see how happy Coco was being there! Thank you again! An absolute pleasure and will definitely book again if needed!”
“Catherine was amazing taking care of our Chewie, very communicative and caring and give us a lots of pictures/updates, and he looks always so well. I'll sure will book her again in the future.”
“Phenomenal dog sitter! My good boy got the chance to stay with April and her dog Rufus for a long weekend while I was out of town. He came back happy and plenty tuckered out from playing in April's fenced in yard. Great response time, great rates, and great sitter! 10/10”
“Katie took good care of my dog, Tilly, for the weekend. She sent daily photos and updates and opened her home for Tilly’s stay. Tilly seemed comfortable and enjoyed playing with toys. I’d recommend Katie and her family for dog sitting.”
About: Since the summer after my freshman year of high school, I’ve provided dog-walking, boarding, and house sitting services to neighbors in my small town. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed, so I’ve decided to carry that passion with me into college. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to seniors, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, which has given me a lot of experience and confidence in caring for them! My dog, Ivy, has a chronic illness, so I am well versed with medication administration or special requests. I am currently an undergrad nursing student at UofM, so I know a thing or two about medication from that as well. Thank you so much for your interest — I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I currently have a part time job for the summer, but otherwise keep my schedule free. I take care of my own dog everyday and provide lots of exercise and walks. I always make safety, trust, and a positive environment my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, so I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and personality. I make sure they’re always secure on walks, use proper equipment, and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards.
“Stephanie and Matt were amazingly accommodating. Sent lots of pictures and communicated well. They have a huge fenced yard for lots of safe, outdoor playtime. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased about the care my dog received staying at Oscar’s home. It gave me great peace of mind getting the photos and videos every day I was away, and I brought home such a calm & happy girl who had the time of her life playing with other dogs in the big backyard. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
About: My 2 daughters and I are an animal-loving home. We have 2 playful cocker spaniel mixes, 3 dog-friendly cats, and 3 horses (at a barn). I work from home, so can provide constant companionship and supervision. My girls are also home for the summer and love playing with all animals. Our yard is over an acre with an invisible fence. I can provide a dog runner line, a long tie-out, or take your dog out on a leash. I can provide daily walks, including to our neighborhood pond if your dog likes the water. I am happy to accommodate any reasonable pet care requests, whatever they may be. I just ask that your dog be vaccinated and friendly with other dogs and kids.
About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.

“Allison did a great job taking care of our two cats. She followed instructions for them and gave them attention. They seemed happy and unstressed when we arrived home.”
“Aveline has been very helpful! She is an excellent communicator, asked good questions and took cute pictures of our pets while we were away. She really cares and did an excellent job. We highly recommend Aveline!”
“Susanna and Erick continue to provide great care for our cat each time we book! We appreciate their great communication and picture updates, and they water our garden/take in our mail each time. So grateful to know our house and Calvin are safe while we're gone. Thanks for everything!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since 2023 when I started pet sitting as a summer gig. From kitties to seniors, I am well versed in knowing how to approach and care for them. Additionally, I have owned cats since I was 7! One of my current cats has many medical issues, so I’m happy to learn more if your cat has any, and if any medications are needed.
“Hadlie is a reliable help! Our cats seem to like her and are familiar with her. She is trustworthy, friendly, and professional. I rest easy knowing that our cats are well cared for. 💗”
About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to help accommodate what you need help with, whether that is daily or weekly. I am always picking up new work bookings. I have booked a lot off of rover so I have additional referrals if you would like them! I will treat your animals and home as if it were my own, with love, trust, and respect. I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.
About: Dogs seem to love me. Personally I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, and have taken care of many with a business. I am an animal fanatic. I can guarantee that your pet will be in safe hands with me. I am very pet friendly and you can trust that I will take care of any needs that your pet has. I'm currently working full time but I'm looking to get out of the position I'm in to be a pet caregiver as well as a house cleaner. I currently have 2 dogs and LOTS of snails. I am religious when it comes to pet feeding, grooming and any medications. These animals are our family. We may not have them our whole life, but they have us their whole life. We need to make it the best one they could ever dream of. (I don't know about dog psychology but I can assume they dream. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain my dog running in his sleep 🤣😉)
“Brittany, is amazing!!! She took great care of our Bullet. She sent photos daily and let me know he was fed and happy with every visit. Brittany, will definitely be hired for future vacations. Thanks Brittany!!!!”
About: I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own and love helping care for other animals. I have experience with high energy dogs, as well as senior cats and dogs. I am now a young 40 something mom and professional who has had pets my entire life! I LOVE animals! I am typically available to provide care in the evenings and weekends, sometimes at lunchtime depending on location, and for extended vacation stays. I only care for other pets in their own homes so I take guidance from you and your pet. Tell me what preferences you have and what your pet's routine is and I will follow that. :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Norvell
“I was super nervous before dropping off my Ollie but once I met Rodney and talked to him, my nerves were calmed. He made sure to give me updates throughout the day and sent me pictures of guy max'in and relax'in. I will for sure be using him again”
About: I will love and care for your furry friends as I do my own. I've owned dogs my whole life and my family would say it's a passion I've never fulfilled (but will be thanks to rover!) I've owned all size breeds so teacup or a small horse, I've got you covered! I am a Navy Veteran and current full-time student at the University of Michigan and my husband works from home 100% of the time. Your pups will never be left unsupervised. We have two other dogs in the home who love having guests and making new friends. Feedings can take place whenever you deem necessary for you! We have a ton of treats (SCHNACKS) ready to spoil and pamper your puppers as we do our own. I live on 7 acres of land in a private community, and have approximately 1 acre of fenced in yard directly off the back of the house. Your friends will be able to take plenty of potty breaks and nice tranquil walks in the "countryside". They will be kenneled at night (around 11p.m.) in a dark, empty room in a padded kennel. (I know it sounds depressing but is actually super relaxing for doggos!). Doggie bath services are also negotiable.

Whether it's administering medication, maintaining grooming routines, or simply offering a soothing presence, I treat every pet with the utmost respect and care, just as I do with my own beloved animals at home.
About: Hi, my name is Sandy and I would love to care for your pet. I have owned dogs for 25+ years as well as cared for my friends when they are away. I had my last beloved Westie Terrier for 16 years and since have really missed having a dog to look after and bring joy to my home. I'm semi-retired so I am able to provide frequent walks and potty breaks. I live in a 4 bedroom house on Lake Columbia that will provide cozy amenities and lots of fun for your dog. My goal is to make sure your pet feels like they are on a vacation of their own while you are away so you don't have to worry. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you. Thanks, Sandy I am semi-retired so I have plenty of time to keep you pet on a schedule and pamper them! They will be comfortable and enjoy my home! I don't have a fence yard and will always keep them on a leash I have a lot of experience training pets and will work with them!
About: Cats and dogs have been a part of my life for 20 + years. Each one of them are special in their own ways. I understand the grieving pets go through when they are separated from their family and that is why at my house your pets will be part of mine. Please don't think of it as boarding... when your pets are with me, they are a part of my family! They will be loved and spoiled from the time you drop them off until you are able to get back to them. I have been the one looking for a trusting pet sitter and I have high expectations of what I want, so I give my all to your pet regardless if they are at my house or if I am at your house checking in on a pet. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! Thank you!! I am a retired registered nurse so I have a ton of availability and flexibility to help you out with any of your pets needs. I currently do not have the availability to host pets at my home, however I am more than willing to come into your home to care for your pets. My goal is to always keep your pets routine as normal as possible.
About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.

About: I've had different dogs in the house for my whole life. As a kid my family brought dogs in for foster care. We've taken care of multiple dogs with disabilities, including deaf dogs and partially blind dogs. Dogs get along with me well and I'm good at getting shy dogs to warm up to me. I've also volunteered with the Jackson County Animal Shelter, working with the cats at PetSmart. I've also taken care of relatives'/friends'/neighbors' pets. Currently I spend most of my time at home working on my online classes so I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your dog. On the rare chance that I'm not home at least one of my parents are in the house and will be able to fill in for me while I'm out. The dogs that I own eat at the same time everyday and go out as needed, but if your dogs need to be treated differently it will be easy to change things for them. Just fill me in on what your pet needs to be taken care of properly and I should be able to get it done.
About: Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life. We actually had Beagle puppies born in our bathroom 13 years ago. I've raised 5 dogs all together. We have 1 left. He's our baby. I will love your dog like my own. I will take care of them like you do. I'm not working so I have plenty of time to walk, play and love on your pet! I am available most weekends and holidays as well. I have a fenced area in my yard, a doggie door and a very friendly senior dog. He's a little loud sometimes, since he's a Beagle but it's all love. Your fur baby will be super happy here. If you prefer I come to you that is perfectly fine too. I will make sure your pet is happy when I leave!
About: I’ve been caring for loving animals since I was 11, and over the years, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and look after their pets with consistent compassion, patience, and genuine affection. I’m currently working part-time so I’m home throughout the week. I’m available to pet sit, dog walk or provide a midday potty break. Mostly during the week however my schedule is flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide gentle companionship, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away.
“Katie is just great. Immediately felt comfortable with her and you can tell she has tons of experience. She has a great set up, Rodney had an awesome time and loved hanging out in her deck. Will definitely use her again.”
“Arling and Mary took great care of my 8-month-old Pomeranian pup. He was comfortable and content with them and they took him on multiple walks and provided great care! Sent updates and took photos. Would use them again in the future and recommend.”
“Lauren has been watching my Daisy for a couple weeks now and she is awesome!! Daisy loves her and already knows when we turn down her street that she’s going to daycare. Highly recommend!!”
About: My 2 daughters and I are an animal-loving home. We have 2 playful cocker spaniel mixes, 3 dog-friendly cats, and 3 horses (at a barn).

About: I am the person my friends turn to when they have a behavior problem with their dogs, although I am a pet sitter, not a trainer. I have an affinity with dogs. I love to read their expressions and body language to understand their moods. I am retired and stay at home almost always. I have lots and lots of time for the dogs that are entrusted to my care. I have about 2 acres, fenced. I have 3 couches in the living room where me and dogs can get comfortable. I let dogs in, I let dogs out. We spend good weather outside. I am retired and home almost always. I have lots of time for your furkids. We spend nice days outside, and in bad weather we all cuddle in the livingroom. I have a huge fenced yard and 2 resident dogs. There is lots to explore here. Sometimes we all just lay out in the sun and soak up the rays.

“Initial engagement during the labor weekend, will look to reserve with my next significant excursion. The boys/young Labradors look like they didn’t miss a beat. Glad that Wendy could fit them into her other client schedules, Wendy was easy to converse with aligning the nuances/ particular needs of my pets”
About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm during the school year (September-Early June). I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I owned a cat, Higgins, who was a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I was in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving pills. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.
About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

“Ashlee was absolutely fantastic. She was professional and clearly cared about my dog. Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt completely confident knowing my dog was in good hands. It’s obvious she takes her work seriously and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality care.”

If I am dropping in, I make sure to follow the instructions given for each dog. This is a professional environment, so I don’t ever relax or get distracted from the pet.

“We are so grateful for Susanna! She is great with our 1 year old puppy, Cooper. She took the time to get to know him and go at his speed in the beginning and is fantastic at following his lead each time she comes to walk him! If he doesn't feel like walking, she makes it a game or plays with him in the yard! She is super responsive and communicative. I know that if any issues were to come up, she would promptly convey them to me. I know our Cooper is in great hands with Susanna!”
About: Former vet assistant and kennel worker who ran an animal care business specializing in horses, German Shepherd breeding, and compassionate pet sitting for cats and dogs. I maintain a regular work schedule but offer flexible pet sitting hours to accommodate your needs, providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care for your pets anytime. At my home, pets enjoy a secure fenced yard, horse stabling, and kennels for boarding. When visiting clients’ homes, safety and comfort in familiar surroundings are always prioritized.
About: Since the summer after my freshman year of high school, I’ve provided dog-walking, boarding, and house sitting services to neighbors in my small town. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed, so I’ve decided to carry that passion with me into college. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to seniors, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, which has given me a lot of experience and confidence in caring for them! My dog, Ivy, has a chronic illness, so I am well versed with medication administration or special requests. I am currently an undergrad nursing student at UofM, so I know a thing or two about medication from that as well. Thank you so much for your interest — I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I currently have a part time job for the summer, but otherwise keep my schedule free. I take care of my own dog everyday and provide lots of exercise and walks. I always make safety, trust, and a positive environment my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, so I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and personality. I make sure they’re always secure on walks, use proper equipment, and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards.

About: I've been taking care of both dogs and cats since I was around 12 or 13, both my own pets and others, and have dog-sat multiple breeds and sizes of dogs for pay as well as for family/friends. I have experience cat-sitting for pay as well and volunteered at a cat shelter, which I loved, that gave me experience with some special needs cats. I have experience dealing with hermit crabs, since I had them as pets for several years, as well as fish. I love animals so I took any chance I was given to take care of them! I work part time for my mom's company, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I'm available weekends and weekdays, I'm a full time grad student so I'll update you with what times I'm available during the semesters whenever you contact me. don't hesitate to ask about anything you need, I'm fully willing to discuss it even if it's outside of my usual parameters. I would also like to note that I do not do recurring walks; my walking service is mostly open for one time walks for clients who can't get home for their pets. If you are within ~15 minutes of either where I am or where my classes are, my price for drop-ins is discounted to $15 instead of $25. I also do not have house sitting open right now due to classes but feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss it to see if I might be able to accept it. :) I can easily crate your pets if needed and I'm good with leashes/harnesses. I never leave doors open, so you won't have to worry about your pets escaping.
About: I currently have 2 dogs, and 2 young children (1y/o, 4y/o) in the home. I have had dogs and taken care of them since I was 3 years old. Also have/had other animals such as horses, goats, cats, fish, hermit crabs, chickens, and ducks. Flexible schedule. Love taking the dogs for walks, weather permitting. Some toys and an area to run are the perfect combination to tire out your pooch. Sick pupper? Don't worry I will gladly watch over the poor thing with lots of snuggles. Have an energizer bunny? Weather permitting we will go for a long walk. Don't mind another dog in your home? I can bring my pupper with me so they can play the day away. No pup too big, no pup too small. You won't regret considering me. (: NOTE: There will be a $30 flat for any location that is over a 25 minute drive. I work as a utility locator, typically near my house. Most days I am able to stop at home to let dogs out potty around lunch. Weekends we are typically home all day. Possible pick up and drop off for boarding available but will vary by day. I have tie outs available and 2 dogs for the pups to play with. I can easily contain your dog separately, however if they use an actual crate I recommend bringing it for me to setup in my home.
About: I have had experience with pets/animals for over 20 years. I pet sit for family and friends. I love animals and would love the opportunity to meet yours! I will work my routine around pet sitting. The pets will be my highest priority when scheduling. Your pet will be well taken care of. I take care in providing any necessary and/or required accommodations for your pets. I have a fenced in yard for safety, a home large enough for multiple animals and a caring heart!
About: I have had a pet since I can remember, from dogs, cats, hermit crabs, birds, to hamsters and fish.

I am available most weekends for any boarding, as well as on weekdays. I am currently in an apartment and am able to go on walks, I cater to the owners needs and cares for their pet.

Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.
“Annie was great! For the first time returning from a trip, our dog, Roxy wasn't that excited to see us lol!! Annie did all the things that Roxy loves like to do like swimming, playing fetch and hanging with an adult. Annie even got Ro,y to socialize with a couple dogs which is incredible considering that Roxy is a shephard and not fond of other dogs. Annie was awesome! Great communication and doggie skills!”
“Amber took care of my senior cock-a-poo for the day. He is an old guy with issues (deaf, anxiety) and she seemed unfazed by his challenges. I found Amber to be very pleasant and kind, and she and her child are clearly animal lovers! I always worry about my dog staying with anyone, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Thank you, Amber!”
“Jen & Chrissy are awesome. They have a great setup at their home. They were so caring & doting on my dogs, they had the best time. I frequently received pictures of my pets which made me happy they were playing & having fun. I was very happy with the care I received from Jen & Chrissy”
“We had the most incredible experience with boarding with Haleigh. We boarded an 18 month old GSD puppy with her. She showed him such great care and provided many updates. I cannot recommend her more. Five star. Nicest person ever.”
