Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

My dog Stella stayed with Julie for over 2 weeks while I was on a trip overseas. I arranged the stay just a few days before I left and was happy to find someone I could trust so quickly. Stella was taken care of very well, she looked very comfortable in the pictures I received and I picked her up healthy and happy. She even found some new playmates during her stay. I will gladly book another stay with Julie should the need arise.

Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.

Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.

About: I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs for two years, and I really enjoy it. It’s an activity that makes me happy. I am currently available on weekends, but I can review your specific needs. I will take your pet for walks, play with them, and care for them with affection. I don't have a fenced yard, but I care for and walk the animal with great attention. I don't have any pets of my own—just two children, aged 6 and 10, who love animals. My home is very spacious and comfortable.

We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!

Theresa is wonderful. I was hesitant to leave my cat alone as she has her quirks. Theresa came by every day twice and interacted well with whiskey once whiskey decided to stop hiding! I came home to a happy content cat and clean house. She kept me updated with lots of photos and texts. Definitely recommend Theresa!

Ellie is a cat whisper. Out of the last 10 years my 15 year old cat has only come out maybe twice for a cat sitter. Her first day she was able to brush him. Each visit the bond grew stronger. After every visit I saw him laying in the sun, his happy place. Not hiding in the corner as he would always be when my previous cat sitters left. My other two boys loved the playtime, snacks and endless cuddles. I 100 percent recommend her. She’s kind passionate and has a real love for animals.

This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.

About: I adopted my kitty Grim in 2024, and he’s been my best friend ever since. I thought being a pet parent would be straightforward, but unfortunately, Grim has chronic urinary issues that have presented new challenges for us. Despite this, I’m well-versed in all aspects of cat care, including administering medications, providing love, and ensuring proper cleaning and care.

We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.

It felt like I was leaving my kitty Keli with someone who really wanted to keep Keli comfortable and happy while I was on vacation. Maddie was responsive and sent pictures during check-ins to keep me up to date. If I need someone to watch Keli again, I know who I'll go to first. I would recommend Maddie to anyone who needs a sitter for their furrier children.

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina

Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my family my whole life! I have also been a dog sitter for over 10 years. A few years ago, my husband and I raised 6 puppies from birth until they went to their new homes at 10 weeks. We currently have three dogs: Ash (Siberian Husky), Koda (Australian Shepherd), and Hickory (Husky-Australian Shepherd mix) who we love to play with, take for walks, and run around in the backyard. I'm currently off for the summer so I have a lot of time at home. I will let the dogs out every 2-4 hours when away but they will be out roaming the house when I am home. Dogs are welcomed in all rooms and on beds and furniture in the home. I have a large fenced in yard and three dogs to keep your pup company. We live in a dog friendly community and near a nature preserve for long walks and hikes.

About: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.

I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.

About: I have had dogs in my life for 57 years. I have had 2 miniature poodles and 2 standard poodles. I have trained them all. I currently do door dash part-time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loved pet. I have time to walk your dog, play with your dog and even train your dog if you’d like. I have a nice yard, and I live in a beautiful modular home park. We have a dog park here for your dog to play.

This was our first time using a service to find someone to care for our dog. Jaisree allowed me to meet with her before our drop off date to make sure our dog would be a good fit for her. I really appreciated Jaisree’s warmth and desire to understand how to best care for Blue. She did a great job and I will book with her again.

About: We love, love, love dogs! We have a home with a fenced yard and work from home so your pup will have lots of company for most of their stay. We also have two home dogs who are both very friendly and love having playmates. One is an elderly medium sized dog and has a hard time getting around and the other is a youngster who is only 8lbs. Therefore we prefer dogs on the smaller side (<40lbs) with no aggression issues with other dogs. Guest dogs are treated like family and are welcome throughout our home. Your dog will be well loved and cared for and treated like part of the pack. We look forward to hosting your pup. We work from home and will have plenty of time to interact with your pup. We also enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood and can keep you pup entertained easily. We have a fenced yard and treat all guest dogs as we treat our own. I have had dogs my entire life and enjoying taking care of them.

About: Since I was a young girl, I have always had family pets who have quickly become my best friends. I just spent three months back home in FL taking care of my family pup while my parents were away, so with my recent move I am missing him extra :( I have always cared for him whether that be dog sitting while my parents are away, walking & feeding him, or even just cuddling on the couch. I am a sensitive and caring individual and have a sweet spot for dogs, treating each as if they are my own. I am an avid animal lover and fall in love with every dog I meet. Since I do not currently have my own dog, I am always looking to spend time with friends and families pups. As your care provider, I can promise daily updates including photos, calm and patience with dogs of all ages, playtime and exercise, flexible scheduling, overnight stays, and most importantly love and attention to your prized pups. Having recently graduated college and graduate school, I just moved to the city and am currently searching for job opportunities so I have lots of free time on my hands and LOVE doggies! I have lots of experience caring for my own families dogs, along with other friends and families companions. I will ensure your pets are happy and loved as I spend time with them. I also will make sure your home is secured and the safety of your pets is my number one priority while I care for them!

We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!

About: I originally went to vet tech school but ended up becoming a tattooer! I have always had a love for animals. I have 6+ pets in my home including exotic ones. I have been taking care of many different animals since I was 13. I recently moved from Michigan to the area and I work part time as a tattoo artist. When I am not in the shop tattooing I am at home working on art/home projects. This leaves me a lot of flexibility and open space throughout my weeks. I currently have a senior (13 year old) pug that I have had since she was 6 weeks old. Shes basically blind and deaf but I think she’s just gotten cuter with age. I am used to checking on her throughout the day and being patient since she moves slow and has more needs. I also own a wild orange cat. He was a stray that we took in from Michigan. He keeps our pug young. I am used to having to keep a close eye on him since he is an escape artist. We don’t keep anything out that any of the animals could get into in reach or on the counters. They are allow on the beds and couches.

I enjoy walking, bathing, and caring for all dogs weather a puppy or an older pup. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help with anything like boarding, walking in, housesitting, and everything in between. I am currently a student ant WMU and working some weekdays and weekends, topically 3-4 days a week as a server. I am available to dog sit over night on week days and weekends. I live in an apartment but that doesn’t prevent enjoying spending time outdoors whether that’s visiting local dog parks, exploring walking trails, or going on daily walks. My top priorities are always the safety, comfort, and well being of every pet in my care. I treat each dog as if they were my own and provide the same level of attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pet, my dog Tater Tot is my little baby and I know the love for our furry companions. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and work to create a positive, safe, and enjoyable experience for every dog!

Anthony was fantastic to work with! Communication was great. He clearly knows a lot about dogs and is passionate about taking care of them as if they were his own. Highly recommend!

Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!

About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.
