Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pickford
“My 12 year old mini-whippet received lots of attention and love and comfort staying with Kristen on her small farm. Her other pets (and the occasional barn cat or chicken) are friendly and healthy as well. My wife and I will definitely be trusting her again to watch Marko if she is available.”
“Trisha is so wonderful to work with! She is very flexible with drop off and pick up, and sent me lots of photo updates of my boy living his best life in her home, along with her dog and cat who are his new BFFs lol. Definitely gave me peace of mind that my high anxiety rescue pup was being so well cared for while I had to be away. Her set up is great too, as she has options to keep dogs separated if need be. We’ll be back for sure!”

We will definitely be booking with her again when in the area.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pickford
“Scharol was very willing to work with our schedule. My 2 fur babies seemed well taken care of when we picked them up. We are were from out of town and needed someone to watch our dogs while going to Mackinac island. All went well.”
“Melissa and family took such good care of Cali. I'm a nervous dog mom but Melissa was so competent and experienced that my worries were put to rest from the start. I was able to have a very good day knowing Cali was being well taken care of. Thanks again, Melissa. Till next time.”
“Thank you Kelly so much for taking care of our favourite. 4 walks is great for our outdoorsy dog who excels out of the house. My pup really liked her stay and we are glad we chose Kelly.”
“Elizabeth was excellent to work with coordinating our dog sitting appointment. I dropped my 3.5 year old Great Dane off around 10:00 AM and picked her up at 5:45 PM. Elizabeth sent me text and pictures throughout the day and her two dogs played and played with my big girl. They had mini pool time and inside pet relax time. My baby was exhausted when I picked her up. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”
“I have two older dogs that need a little extra patience and care. My dogs obviously felt comfortable with Angelo and Pina. The second visit they walked right in to the house wagging their tails. It was great to get pictures and updates throughout the visit. I would highly recommend them.”

About: Hell my name is Scharol. I love animals all kinds. First they need good steady meals then the fun begins! They're like children health safety then fun and love. I think of pets as toddlers. If they arent played with and getting attention theyll get into trouble. They need regular exercise good wholesome food, snacks when they're behaving. At times just because;) they crave love and affection. I allow them on my furniture and my bed. I just wash my bedding more often than most. They get scared have legit feelings and I address all of those needs. I first very responsible and very caring. I'll love them as if they were my own. Thank you for your time Scharol- I'm available all the time Great! I'm free almost 100% of the time which makes me a perfect fit to care for your prescious pets I've been around animals my entire life Walk them play with them cuddle them. Comb or brush them. They're fed all the time and depending on what they need I'll provide it.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.
About: My love for animals is what made me want to watch pets. I have had pets my entire life & have been watching them for friends for years. I lost my dog Olive a year ago & this gives me my “ dog fix “. I am retired & have always wanted to be a dog sitter. I hope you will consider me. I work during the winter 4 days a week, but this has not been a problem for the animals I take care of now. I am very flexible. My yard is very large but not fenced in. I do have neighbors with dogs but they stay in their yards. I am also open to staying at your home.
