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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

About: I have been providing pet-sitting services since 2019 and have cared for a variety of dogs and cats. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I currently share my home with a friendly Shih Tzu and a Burmese cat, giving me daily experience with both canine and feline needs. In addition to drop-in visits and pet sitting, I have boarded pets in my home and understand how to help them adjust to a new environment while maintaining their routines and reducing stress. My experience includes feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and providing regular updates to pet owners. I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive individualized attention, affection, and excellent care while their families are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I am committed to providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and do not work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Before the stay, I take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. During their stay, your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision. Dogs will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Cats will receive attentive care, enrichment, play, and a quiet, comfortable environment where they can feel secure. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm and loving atmosphere. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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!

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!

I understand the stress of leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I am here to provide peace of mind while ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaly friend receives the love, attention, and professional care they deserve. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. 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.

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

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.

About: I have been providing pet-sitting services since 2019 and have cared for a variety of dogs and cats. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I currently share my home with a friendly Shih Tzu and a Burmese cat, giving me daily experience with both canine and feline needs. In addition to drop-in visits and pet sitting, I have boarded pets in my home and understand how to help them adjust to a new environment while maintaining their routines and reducing stress. My experience includes feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and providing regular updates to pet owners. I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive individualized attention, affection, and excellent care while their families are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I am committed to providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and do not work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Before the stay, I take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. During their stay, your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision. Dogs will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Cats will receive attentive care, enrichment, play, and a quiet, comfortable environment where they can feel secure. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm and loving atmosphere. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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.

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 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.

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!
