About: I worked at a free-roam high volume cat lounge for a year, where I lead a team of volunteers to take care of all the cats alongside me. Daily, I handled cats to administer oral medications, give fluids and vaccinations when needed. Very experienced and confident with handling cats of all temperaments, even with nail trimming!
“Jessie did a great job looking after our cats while we were away! She was great about providing updates and was very prompt in all communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jessie again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Republic
About: My entire childhood there was always a dog or two in the house. I grew up with 5 different English setters that I helped take care of as starting as young as 10 years old. Being the high energy dogs that they are, I became well acquainted with daily walks and lots of attention and care. Today I’m the proud father of a 3 year old golden doodle named Winston. Despite being a couch potato he also loves the beach, camping, and could play fetch until his legs gave out. I’ve been working for home for 5 years now as a project manager, which has allowed me to proved constant care and attention to Winston and my parent 3 English setters whenever they have been out of town. Living just outside of downtown Negaunee, my neighborhood is dog friendly and the perfect place for a walk. I also offer a medium sized fenced in backyard, which is perfect for fetch and play time. I work from home M-F, so I’m always home and available to provide care. I also have a 3 year old golden doodle that I’m caring for fully time each day. I have a medium sized fenced in back yard with a covered porch. It is the perfect size for short distance fetch and playtime. Plus the porch offers some shade from the sun if they enjoy sitting outside and people watching.
“Sara did an amazing job with our dogs! She is so cheerful. It was our 6 month old’s first time at daycare and she had a blast! She also kept us updated with many pictures!! Highly recommend!”

“Shannon was wonderful with Roux! While my husband and I were out kayaking, she took Roux on a full day of hiking, swimming, and relaxing at the park. It made me so happy knowing Roux was having her own adventure instead of waiting around for us. Shannon was kind, patient, and clearly enjoys spending time with dogs. That patience goes a long way with a curious, energetic 7 month old puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roux was in such caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Republic
About: I’ve volunteered with dogs since I was 11, lived with large dogs my since childhood, and have been working jobs in animal welfare for 2.5 years. Working in a pet hospital, dog rescue facility, and a county shelter gave me a lot of experience and professional training with handling dogs of all sizes safely, especially anxious dogs. I was trained to administer daily medications and even fluids as needed. My daily tasks were feedings, cleanings, walking, and playing with our dogs. I am free Mondays and Wednesdays. I work from 8am - 6pm at the shelter on Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat. I would love to house sit for a night or two if this schedule can work around you and your animals. While checking up on your dogs, I can play with them until they’re tired out and teach them basic tricks and commands. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs and will treat your pet with compassion, using positive reinforcements. I’m a patient pet sitter and would love to spend time with your dogs and cats. I’m a photographer, ask me about bonus pet portraits!
About: Hi! I love dogs and animals so much and would love to be able to care for them and interact with them while making some extra cash. I do work full time as a Registered Nurse, but my work schedule allows me to have availability to care for animals as needed! I’m very responsible and have grown up with dogs my whole life :) I will be in school, but my schedule has a lot of availability, I may be working part time, but haven’t decided if I will be or not. I can handle any service needed for my clients pets, I have a good understanding of what certain environments pets may need and how to enact those services in a professional and caring way.
“I am so excited to have Shannon planned to walk my dog weekly. She seems like the perfect fit as she is patient and has a calming energy which is perfect as my dog is anxious with new people. She has experience with reactive dogs and has the same positive approach to dealing with that as we have been working on so I am confident she will be a great fit!”
