“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”

“Jessica was great with Mya- I know Mya had a great time because she came home very tired. I know she will be excited to go to Jessica’s house again. Thank you Jessica for taking great care of her.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Bailee it’s always happy and loved at Erins house. We get updates and pictures every day and Bailee loves playing with the other dogs and having fun in her fenced in backyard.”
“Lexi loves going to their home!! We love she is the only dog - she tends to be very submission & we have ease of mind knowing she is safe!! Jesse is always our 1st choice!”
“Kathy was a great sitter. Finley was very well taken care of and given a lot of love and attention. We were updated with pictures and texts which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. -Susan”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog, Bo! It was our first time boarding him, so we were a little nervous but she made the whole experience easy and stress free. She kept us updated with messages and pictures and it was clear that Bo was happy and well cared for, and we couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!”
“Alisha was very communicative and sent many updates and pictures. From the pictures, it was clear our pup was comfortable and making herself right at home! We will be leaving our pup with Alisha again!”

“Michelle took great care of our mini Bernedoodle while we went away for a few nights. Our dog experiences separation anxiety when we take her to a kennel for boarding. This was the first time we used Rover. Michelle sent us pics and text updates of our pup. This made us feel at ease knowing she was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Michelle as she was very attentive to our dog’s needs.”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
“Hutch received fantastic care from Mariah and Max and definitely made a couple of new 4-legged friends during his stay. They were also very friendly and very flexible when it came to drop-off/pick-up times, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home.

I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.
“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle is amazing! She took my little fur baby Tyson last minute when I needed someone to watch him for 2 days. Tyson absolutely loved being at her house. She has repeat clients on a daily basis, so Tyson always had other dogs to play with. When I picked him up the first day, he didn't want to leave. And when I dropped him off the second day he ran right in and forgot all about me! I will for sure bring him back.”
“Timmy loved being with Joni for the first time! I could tell he was comfortable and having fun especially with playmate, Sheldon! Timmy was worn out in a good way! Great relief to know I can drop him off and he is cared for like I would care for him!”
“Sabrina is very communicative about my baby and Jenny has a fantastic time at her house. I love seeing the pictures of Jenny and her son playing together as well as her little pup. She’s a godsend. I highly recommend Sabrina.”
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years!

We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away.

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”

“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family.

My passion lies in building trust and genuine relationships with each individual dog, understanding that every pup needs unique attention and companionship. I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love. I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when ever you need me. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!
About: I’ve grown up on a farm and cared for all walks of furry animals! Being a dog owner of 5 dogs from puppies to seniors makes me the perfect fit for any dog/animal. I am professional and punctual and will put your pet before anything else! I did a 2 year Vet program so I am useful and resourceful when it comes to the care of your pet. I can also offer pet photography, as well as nail trimming for tamed dogs. I am fully available for pet care anytime of the day, night or week. I am a freelance artist making my schedule very flexible for your convenience I will abide by any rules/schedules/specifications as provided by you. If none are provided I will treat them as family!

“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”
“Jessica was great with Mya- I know Mya had a great time because she came home very tired. I know she will be excited to go to Jessica’s house again. Thank you Jessica for taking great care of her.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Bailee it’s always happy and loved at Erins house. We get updates and pictures every day and Bailee loves playing with the other dogs and having fun in her fenced in backyard.”
“Lexi loves going to their home!! We love she is the only dog - she tends to be very submission & we have ease of mind knowing she is safe!! Jesse is always our 1st choice!”
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog, Bo! It was our first time boarding him, so we were a little nervous but she made the whole experience easy and stress free. She kept us updated with messages and pictures and it was clear that Bo was happy and well cared for, and we couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!”
“Alisha was very communicative and sent many updates and pictures. From the pictures, it was clear our pup was comfortable and making herself right at home! We will be leaving our pup with Alisha again!”
“Marty was great! I truly appreciate her, she not only helped me out in a last minute spot but she made sure to update me with pictures a couple times a day. We will be using her again for our golden, Balee.”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
“Hutch received fantastic care from Mariah and Max and definitely made a couple of new 4-legged friends during his stay. They were also very friendly and very flexible when it came to drop-off/pick-up times, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Jaclyn and her family were wonderful! They opened their home to our dogs without hesitation and our dogs had a great time. They have a great property for dogs to explore and they have plenty of friends to play with!”
