“Emily was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She is only four months old (needs extra attention as most do!), is on a medication, and this was my first time having to leave her with someone else to care for her. When I got there, Emily already had a space set up for my puppy with a large play space and puppy pee pads (just in case haha). Emily sent me pictures and updates every day so that I could see how well she was doing. It made me happy to see her so happy. Then on my way home, I had flight delays, and Emily and her husband were MORE than accommodating to help me pick up my puppy from them quite late in the evening. I can’t recommend Emily enough. I will definitely look to her first when needing a sitter in the future.”
“We boarded Lily with Kasey when she she a 1 year old rambunctious puppy and we were so happy with her care. Now, post Covid we were lucky Kasey was available once again. Lily is now a 5 year old and a lot calmer. We were gone for 10days and Lily fit in well with Gracie and Dilly (kasey’s dogs) we didn’t have a worry leaving Lily and are grateful for Kasey. She is a gem! Thanks Kasey!”
“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Michelle is an amazing host who clearly loves dogs and cats! She is thoughtful, an excellent communicator, and a true animal lover. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and we look forward to having our beloved Polly stay with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Brianna was very good at communication, made us comfortable that our dogs were doing well while we were out of town. She sent pictures of them and was quick to answer our questions. Highly recommend!”
“Tony is an EXCEPTIONAL sitter! He is a kind and caring person. He gave us frequent and detailed updates on our dog and took him for as many walks as our dog wanted. Tony lets pets on furniture, which is made us feel comfortable. Gover was happy with him and enjoyed his time away from us. We definitely trust him with our dog kid and of course, he will be our to-go person for future trips.”
“Very loving and communicative sitters! They take caretaking guidance/instructions seriously and integrated my dog into their daily life. I couldn’t ask for a more comfortable setting for my dog in my absence.”
“Would highly recommend, they treated Henry like their own. He was happy to see us when we returned but we’re sure he misses being spoiled to the max!! We will definitely rebook when we need a dog sitter in the future! Thanks for loving Henry!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Olivia was AWESOME! She sent daily updates with pictures! She took great care of our beloved dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will definitely use her again.”
“Matt maintained great communication with us and our dog seemed to be very happy playing with Matt’s dog and going for walks. We’d definitely ask Matt to watch our dog again!”
“This was our second time having our dog stay with Chris and family. She was so excited to go back - pretty much running up to the house. As always, Chris is easy to work with and communicates well.”

“Excellent care. Cat warmed up well and got many pictures and videos of playing and petting, as well as assurance the living space was still clean. Would recommend!”
“We always feel so much more at ease being on vacation when Alex is checking on our cat babies. He sends photos and lets us know how they are doing. Our one cat can be fussy about where she eats and we know that Alex will move her plate so she can have her solo moment. We appreciate the care and attention he provides.”
“Kerri is friendly and outgoing! She demonstrates a care for your animals and makes sure she completes the tasks as you request. She was a wonderful care taker for our animals while we were away! Than you Kerri!”
“Elizabeth was so patient with our Jack but by the end of the time he was sitting on her lap and letting her feed him from churru tubes. She worked hard to earn his trust which made a long trip successful for everyone. She also graciously put our trash and recycling bins out and away on our trash days plus made sure to bring in packages that kept being delivered after our wedding. She was super communicative, sent a few videos of Jack with his new found love of cat tv and made us feel very secure leaving our baby for a longer period of time. Highly recommend!”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

“Brianna has watched my puppy a few times and naturally, as puppies can be, she was pretty hyper and crazy, but Brianna did such a great job with her and my puppy was so happy when I went to pick her up! She’s very kind and I’ll definitely be using her again?”
“Winston had a great first day of daycare! He came home happy & tired from a day of making new friends. We received pictures & video, which was so nice. Will use again for daycare & boarding!”
“Kasey is absolutely incredible. As a first-time pet parent, I’m naturally a little anxious, but she made the entire experience seamless and reassuring from start to finish. Rosie had such wonderful, positive exposure to her two sweet dogs and even her kitty — which was so important to me. I could tell Rosie was not only safe, but genuinely thriving in a well-balanced, loving environment. The socialization alone is priceless. Kasey’s communication is top-tier. She sent consistent updates and videos that gave me total peace of mind. Seeing Rosie playing, exploring, and happily interacting made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which I truly appreciated. I feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be requesting her for all future needs. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾”
“Cody did a wonderful job providing day-care for our two dogs! Lots of pictures sent and they both came home and fell right asleep from all the fun they had. Definitely will be reusing and highly recommend!”
About: Denim Sheperd Dog Care is looking to provide you with excellent dog services at an affordable price. With a huge backyard for running and indoor dog spaces for play, your dog is guaranteed to have a great time! We are a house of dog lovers plus 3 pups of our own, with 2 cousin pups staying with us! Our pack leader Austin has been an amateur mush dog trainer for two years with plans to compete in 2026. He is great with dogs of all sizes and has a heart for all breeds. What got him into dog training for others was E-collar training 2 of our dogs himself after having our husky trained professionally. This gave us the freedom to adventure with our pups the way we longed to. We have been doing basic grooming for our labradoodle for 3 years, nail trimming all of our dogs' nails for 5 years, and bathing them for nearly 7 so your dogs will be in loving hands if they are in need of some pampering! I'm currently a full-time at home parent and dog dad. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, but for our daily schedule I do biking with my husky, playtime in the back yard, and the pups nap or have hangout time in the dog den! I have a garage for grooming and introductions, then two gates used to separate the dog areas from the rest of the house. Within the dog area is a finished basement and den if dogs need to be separated. At this time, I have 2 crates of different sizes for use if needed or desired. The backyard is fully fenced and great for runners to get out excess energy.

“Alex was so helpful for us. We needed somewhere to put our dogs for an evening for my daughters graduation from MSU and a few hiccups came up along the way and Alex was able to accommodate a few last minute changes. She sent us pictures and videos so we would know the animals had settled in. Definitely would recommend her.”

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

I am more than happy to accommodate whatever needs your pet(s) have - whether that is crating them back up when I leave or making sure they have plenty food and water. I am a very respectful, tidy, and reliable person and promise to treat your home and your fur babies the same way!
About: For the past 12 years I have been taking care of my oldest dog Trilly and for the last year have been taking care of my dog Dash. Within the last 12 years I have owned a few fish, a few hermit crabs, a bunny, a few guinea pigs, as well as a hamster. I am a graduate and don't have a part/full time job as of right now so I am able to make plenty of time to care for pets. I have two protective dogs which would not let me allow other animals into my home but I am happy to walk and or go to a pets home to take care of them.
About: Hii! I’ve grown up with many different animals; including rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, ect. I am an animal lover, but having my own isn’t an option for me right now. I’d love to take care and make your pet happy. I’d treat them as if they were my own babies. I currently work full-time and am a college student, however I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy spending extra time with animals. I’d love to spend some of my free time taking care of your fur babies. I’m open to any ideas, but I’d love most to drop by or even walk your pet. I’d love to come to your own home where your pet is already comfortable. I do live in an apartment so my home isn’t an option unless well planned ahead of time. I do have family that lives on a lake and have no problem taking your pet there and spending time there with him/her. It’s a lot of land on acres for any dog to play😊
About: I have had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising, playing with, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding dog behavior, maintaining safe group environments, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, training levels, abilities, and dietary needs. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy puppies, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. Working in daycare has also taught me how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and provide individualized attention to each dog. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in good hands. I treat every dog like they are my own and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and am an MSU senior and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for visits, walks, and sitting during weekdays after work and have more open availability on weekends. Since I already spend much of my time around animals through my job, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and easily incorporate into my day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have so I can provide consistent and attentive care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and house rules. I pay close attention to animal behavior and make sure pets are always in a safe and calm environment. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

“Emily was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She is only four months old (needs extra attention as most do!), is on a medication, and this was my first time having to leave her with someone else to care for her. When I got there, Emily already had a space set up for my puppy with a large play space and puppy pee pads (just in case haha). Emily sent me pictures and updates every day so that I could see how well she was doing. It made me happy to see her so happy. Then on my way home, I had flight delays, and Emily and her husband were MORE than accommodating to help me pick up my puppy from them quite late in the evening. I can’t recommend Emily enough. I will definitely look to her first when needing a sitter in the future.”
“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Michelle is an amazing host who clearly loves dogs and cats! She is thoughtful, an excellent communicator, and a true animal lover. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and we look forward to having our beloved Polly stay with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Brianna was very good at communication, made us comfortable that our dogs were doing well while we were out of town. She sent pictures of them and was quick to answer our questions. Highly recommend!”
“Tony is an EXCEPTIONAL sitter! He is a kind and caring person. He gave us frequent and detailed updates on our dog and took him for as many walks as our dog wanted. Tony lets pets on furniture, which is made us feel comfortable. Gover was happy with him and enjoyed his time away from us. We definitely trust him with our dog kid and of course, he will be our to-go person for future trips.”
“Very loving and communicative sitters! They take caretaking guidance/instructions seriously and integrated my dog into their daily life. I couldn’t ask for a more comfortable setting for my dog in my absence.”
“Would highly recommend, they treated Henry like their own. He was happy to see us when we returned but we’re sure he misses being spoiled to the max!! We will definitely rebook when we need a dog sitter in the future! Thanks for loving Henry!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Olivia was AWESOME! She sent daily updates with pictures! She took great care of our beloved dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will definitely use her again.”
“Matt maintained great communication with us and our dog seemed to be very happy playing with Matt’s dog and going for walks. We’d definitely ask Matt to watch our dog again!”
“This was our second time having our dog stay with Chris and family. She was so excited to go back - pretty much running up to the house. As always, Chris is easy to work with and communicates well.”
“Wendy & her family are great. This was our second time taking our dog to her and she had a great time & came back happy & tired out. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks Wendy!”
“Alice is phenomenal. This is our 2nd time having her watch our VERY active 13 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. She has a great sized secure yard for the dogs to run and she is so gentle and patient with our crazy girl. It is difficult to find a sitter that can handle the true high energy breeds with such patience and understanding. Alice gives great updates and photos. Avery always comes home happy, healthy and loved.”
