“Erin was so wonderful to us and our dog Opal 🐾. Last minute I posted a request to book for boarding and Erin responded right away. Our dog Opal (9) loved her visit (you could see the fun she had in the photos Erin sent daily - she was super tired when she got home from playing with all the dogs too). Thank you Erin for being so great with her AND brushing her - it never ends with husky fur! 🤣 I highly recommend Erin to anyone in the area looking for excellent care for their pet.”
“Our dog, Bubba was suffering from back pains and Bennet and Henry made sure he was comfortable, monitored him closely and handled everything with so much compassion and care. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care, patience and kindness.”
“Kathy did a great job with our little girl! She is a Covid dog, so she lacks some socialization skills lol. Kathy is very knowledgeable and willing to help. She set our minds at ease, and I knew our little Siena was very safe in her hands. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Burgandy was a great communicator, kept us updated on how Arlo was doing & even sent us pictures. You can tell she loves & cares for animals. This was our first time using Rover & I felt very comfortable leaving Arlo in her care after our meet & greet. I would recommend Burgandy and will book her again when needed.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”

“We left our sweet Pip with Jeannie for 8 days while we had our wedding and honeymoon. Jeanne was fabulous with both taking care of Pippin as well as being very accommodating to our schedule and quick change of plans. We received pictures and videos all throughout the week and since we’ve gotten our Pup back he has been SO TIRED from all the fun he had. I will definitely use Jeanne again for any boarding we need.”
“Brittany was fantastic!! We were super nervous about leaving our 1.5 year old German Shepherd with a stranger but as soon as we arrive our minds were put at ease. Without a doubt she loves animals and even fosters rescues. Raven had a blast and even made a few new kitty cat friends! We will definitely be back. Thank you Brittany for taking such good care of our family member <3”

“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was very accommodating, took great pictures, and provided personalized updates at each visit. Would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Morgan took great care of my cat Simon. She kept in contact and made me feel better about leaving my cat at home for my trip. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone who cares and is trustworthy to watch over your animals.”
“Annika arrived on time, and we went over notes for the dogs. She left detailed notes of her interactions with the dogs and their potty breaks. I hope she will be available to watch my dogs again.”
“Madeline was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for my cat, Sawyer. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy—checking in often with updates, photos, and thoughtful details. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her own schedule to accommodate Sawyer’s routine and make sure he was never left wanting for attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“I contacted Maria late on the evening before we were leaving for a last minute weekend away. This was our first time to use her. She responded and was so sweet to come for a quick meet and greet before we left. We knew right away that she had a special love for cats. She and our Mac connected right away. We loved that she shared many photos with us and let us know what she did on each visit. Maria gave us peace of mind that our boy was being well cared for while we were gone. She also kindly watered my flower pots for me. We highly recommend Maria.”
“I haven't had a chance to meet Elise yet, but my wife has. From the first meeting, my wife was very secure with Elise being the one that came in and took care of our two cats. She did a great job. We will be using "Rover" again when we go out of town and hope Elise is available.”

As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care.

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”
“Kristina is so great with my cats and I never have to worry while I’m out of town!! She has been so nice to them and it is evident in the way they have warmed up to her since the first time she sat for me!”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of cats and pets since I was 10. People from my neighborhood, friends, and family. They all have relied on me to check in, feed, give medicine, and simply just to play with them.
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
“Candice is super great and quick with communications, and keeps my cat super entertained by even bringing her new toys while I was gone. My cat is a little shy around people who aren’t me and she was at ease with Candice around!”
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“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!”

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.

I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
About: Dogs have surrounded me since I was 5! I grew up around toy poodle mixes, so I’m used to playing with little bundles of energy and currently, I have one Goldendoodle and one Labradoodle that I love like children. My favorite doggo activities are playing fetch, kayaking, and walking in a park. Giving belly rubs are a must, but I'm best known for my ear scratches. I have experience with dogs needing medication, post-surgery care, or stitch care. I've taken care of ear infections and maintained overall grooming as well. Making dogs comfortable is my first priority followed by fulfilling any needs and keeping the smiles going. Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions/inquiries more specific to your pet! My schedule is very flexible and I'm looking to take advantage of the fresh air with your little/big one! I work part-time from home and part-time from an office so I can take breaks for walking/home visits throughout the day when planned. I'm generally available from 6am-9pm. I prefer a routine, however, I'm always understanding and happy to receive messages of spontaneous trips + random needs for my services! Because I go to you, I will let you explain what makes your dog most comfortable for walking/visits. I always have a leash + poop bags on hand, and let the pups get in all their sniffs for a proper walk! I also have confidence in gaining control of a situation if a dog ran off or was trained off-leash since I too have my dogs trained off-leash. I call for their attention by whistling most often.
“Annika has been walking Loki for a week and has done a great job with him. He is a husky who needs his afternoon walk. The difference is very noticeable when I come home from work. He is very relaxed and happy in the evening now. I highly recommend Annika!”

About: Hi! I’m Addy — a lifelong dog lover who recently moved to Freeland, MI. I share my home with Kahlua, my sweet and friendly Pomsky, who loves making new dog friends. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pup with someone new, and my goal is always to give your dog a safe, calm, and happy experience — full of warmth, playtime, and love. Whether you need a walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy place for boarding, your dog will be treated like family. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s personality. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and honest communication. Hablo español también, si prefieres comunicarte en tu idioma. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently working only Thursdays and Sundays afternoons, which allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, and consistent supervision. I build my schedule around the dogs I care for, making sure they get attention, potty breaks, and exercise at the times they need it. For boarding or drop-in visits, I’m very flexible and can adjust to your dog’s normal routine — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Your pup will never feel rushed or left waiting. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling predictable, calm, and comfortable. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are always supervised and kept in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide fresh water at all times, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a cozy place to rest. I make sure doors are always closed, and I only introduce dogs to my Pomsky, Kahlua, if both pets are comfortable and it’s a good match. For walks and drop-in visits, I use secure harnesses or leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I keep a slow, steady pace and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every dog with patience, structure, and attention. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and relaxed — and for you to feel fully confident while they’re in my care.

I will follow all requests to the best of my ability.
“Madeline was prompt and communicated how our dog was feeling since she had an off day the day before. She sent photos and a video and with it being her first walk with our dog, our dog was very comfortable with her. Looking forward to having her walk our pup again.”
About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way
“Annabel and Gavin took care of my 2 doogs and a cat while I was away for 2 weeks overseas. They have followed their routine to the T. Excellent communication gave me peace of mind and photos sharing ensured pets were in great hands. I can't be thankful enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies are taking care off. Highly recommended and would definitely use their service again!”
About: I’ve had dog my whole life. I have watched dogs for friends and family and have experience with lots of different breeds. I’ve cared for elderly and unwell dogs as well as very energetic breeds. No dog is to big or to small. I am currently working full-time, so I am only really available on the weekends (Friday evening - Monday morning) I still enjoy doing this but it is currently more of a side gig. Regardless the quality of my services have not changed. 🙂 I am great at following instructions and only want what’s best for your animals. I am able to handle multiple animals at a time and I’m good at making sure they all get the attention they need. I love spending time playing with and exercising animals and taking of whatever they need.
About: I’ve taken care of and watched family, friends and even neighbors dogs since I was old enough to drive. I also own a few dogs of my own so I am very experienced. I’m currently taking college classes part time so I will have lots of free time to take care of and love your dogs just as much as you do. I will do whatever is needed to take care of your dog(s). I am very caring and would never do something that wasn’t asked of.
“Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.”
About: I grew up in a farm so I have taken care of all kinds of animals my whole like :) I just like to help out when I can:) I currently work part to full time at a breakfast place. So if I work they would be alone for up to 6 hours. But they will have company I have a fenced in back yard with 2 friendly dogs. If needed I can create yours. It will be nice for my pups to have some company
About: I have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for about 10yrs. I have experience with many breeds(yorkie to pitbull) of all ages(8wk old puppy to 15yr old senior). I walk my own senior dog daily and understand the time and patience they need. I have rescued dogs over the years with different issues and understand each dog is different and has different needs and personalities. I'm fully prepared to try to meet those needs and help them have a great experience with me. Pet Care fits into my free time in the week. I have pretty open availability morning into mid day. I'm available to cover the Midland, Beaverton and Gladwin area Mon, Wed and Fri. I try to be aware of surroundings and other animals to avoid any possible situations that would put your pet in harm or even a stressful situation. I will do my best to make every visit enjoyable and safe for your pet.

“Erin was so wonderful to us and our dog Opal 🐾. Last minute I posted a request to book for boarding and Erin responded right away. Our dog Opal (9) loved her visit (you could see the fun she had in the photos Erin sent daily - she was super tired when she got home from playing with all the dogs too). Thank you Erin for being so great with her AND brushing her - it never ends with husky fur! 🤣 I highly recommend Erin to anyone in the area looking for excellent care for their pet.”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Burgandy was a great communicator, kept us updated on how Arlo was doing & even sent us pictures. You can tell she loves & cares for animals. This was our first time using Rover & I felt very comfortable leaving Arlo in her care after our meet & greet. I would recommend Burgandy and will book her again when needed.”
“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 great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”

“We left our sweet Pip with Jeannie for 8 days while we had our wedding and honeymoon. Jeanne was fabulous with both taking care of Pippin as well as being very accommodating to our schedule and quick change of plans. We received pictures and videos all throughout the week and since we’ve gotten our Pup back he has been SO TIRED from all the fun he had. I will definitely use Jeanne again for any boarding we need.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ralph to watch our German shepherd. We asked him to watch her pretty last minute and he was very accommodating and took great care of her. She walked in as if she remembered that she was somewhere that she trusted. Highly recommend Ralph!”
“Janis and her dogs were a great host for our young dogs first overnight away from us. We met up quickly a couple days before hand so that she was sure Thule would be a good fit at her house . She provided updates and pictures showing the fun he was having. We would definitely recommend boarding with Janis!”
“Jessie was a great dog sitter for my rambunctious lab! She greeted us warmly and I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I got phots and plenty of communication while I was out of town for the weekend. I would definitely trust her to dogsit in the future.”
