“Shannon is top notch. When life happened for us and we were so nervous about leaving our high anxiety dog with someone new she took the task with calm and so much good energy and joy. Her patience, love for dogs, incredible canine environment made a difference. Shannon is incredible with daily updates and rest assured you can ease your mind when leaving your beloved pet with her.”
“When we got stranded on vacation because of the crazy blizzard of 2026, Dylan came in for the save and agreed to board Rudy for an unexpected 3 extra days! What a life saver! Rudy enjoyed his stay and we’ll definitely rebook with Dylan in the future! Thank you!”
“Fred boarded our dog in his home, took him for walks and provided undivided attention. Fred is great with communication and sent multiple pics of our dog during the stay. We have already booked another stay with Fred in the near future. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi, I am Bri! I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin and was raised with border collies. I have always loved animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 13 year old rescue Mini Australian Shepherd and a 7 year old Border Collie mix. I work from home which allows me to spend lots of time with my fur babies! I would love to spend time with your pet and would provide outstanding care! Our home in Skandia, MI is just 20 minutes from Marquette, so if you are traveling to the area and need dog care for just the day or longer, please reach out. I work from home which allows me to spend extra time with my own dogs! Your dog will never have to be at home alone. I work from home which allows me to spend extra time with my own dogs! Your dog will never have to be alone. We have a fenced in yard, fence is 4 ft tall so if your dog tends to jump fences, it won’t be a good fit.
“Had our grandma doggo for 3 days, arrived on time for pick up and did a great job keeping her busy for the weekend. Absolutely great pet hosts and will use them again in the future, they were able to be home for the weekend, took my old anxious girl on walks around Marquette’s best spots and responded to every message I had checking in on things. My dog has had trouble with being left alone in the past and they are able to accommodate her needs.”
“Heidi was a great dog sitter! She was very communicative with us and gave Henry lots of attention and love. Her dog is a big sweetheart, and the house is a great, dog friendly space!”
“This was our second time using Abigail for our pup. He immediately got excited entering her home again -- proof that he was showered with love and attention during his first stay. We will continue to use Abigail whenever possible and recommend her with no reservations!”

“Janelle was an amazing sitter for my kitties! She was extremely communicative and wanted to make sure she was doing everything as best as she could. She gave my babies love and always made sure their space was clean! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”
“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away. Izzy was responsible in making sure our cats maintained their routine and sent us lots of photos. We can’t wait to use her services next time!”
“I felt at ease knowing Jessica was taking care of my old kitty. Jessica was always prompt with replies and updates. Jessica was reliable and professional throughout the whole process. I hope I am lucky enough to book with Jessica every time I go out of town.”
“Jen was wonderful with our two cats while we were out of town! Very professional and communicative, not to mention kind and affectionate with our kitties. It gave us peace of mind knowing she has a wealth of experience in emergency veterinary medicine in addition to pet sitting and training. Jen went above and beyond, spending extra time with the cats when possible and bringing in our mail and packages. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kendra is a wonderful petsitter. She was quick to initially respond to my request and she scheduled a meet and greet quickly to see if our job was a good fit. First impressions was that Kendra was kind and professional. She was reported her daily check-in and was patient with my kitty who was timid and hid from her until the last day. I'm thrilled to have found Kendra and will be reaching out for future trips.”
“Anna was very prompt with her meet and greet, which gave us a good feeling up front. She was able to win the dogs over very quickly which says alit about her demeanor with pets. Her responses to questions were comforting for a remote pet owner. I would certainly recommend her to friends.”
“Claire was great! My kitty was a little shy and didn’t quite warm up to her but she was still super sweet and patient. Great sitter! She was highly communicative and accepted a last-minute booking over a holiday which was a lifesaver for us. Would certainly book her again!”
“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.”

“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.”
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.
“WONDERFUL rover host. David helped us out last minute with doggie daycare. He took wonderful care of Luna and was extremely friendly. I couldn't recommend someone more! He also had the sweetest lab family that I'm sure are friends to all dogs that come and go! Thank you David!”
About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility!Please specify what area/ community when you request services. We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.

About: I worked at a local vet clinic (2023-2025) as a receptionist and a vet assistant. It is not my chosen career path, but I did learn valuable skills and knowledge on caring for pets, especially ones with health concerns, as well as triaging for urgent cases and emergencies. I have taken training classes with one of my pups at home from beginner to advanced. I have experience with puppies,adults, and senior dogs, plus dogs with health issues. I have some experience sitting for cats, including kitties post-major surgery, and I grew up with cats who I had from the time they were kittens through to old age. I am comfortable with pets of all ages! I also grew up with dogs as big as Old English Mastiffs and as small as tea cup Chihuahuas, so I am comfortable with all sizes as well. I work full time, and my schedule changes week to week. I work anywhere from 5 hours shifts to 8 hours. I am unable to leave for lunch breaks or anything like that, so I am available for pets who are able to be left alone up to 8 hours on days that I work. I do get two days off a week, and those days I'm available all day and can adjust my routine and schedule around your pets! I have two playful pups at home that love to meet new people and dogs! Every 4-8 hours they go on potty breaks in the yard, which is decently big for running around. They go on 30 minute walks almost every day and a special hike or activity at least once a week. Caring for the pups is split between my boyfriend and I. While no one is home, my pups have free-range of and kitchen with all doors closed throughout the day. They always have access to toys, fresh water, and couches/dog beds to lounge on. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in our bed with us at night, but we have two dog beds available as options. We love to give a couple treats/snacks throughout the day as well! I really enjoy making the time spent other pups fun, so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their people are away. As a pet parent myself, I respectfully follow all of my client's rules and what is required regarding their pets and home.
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Three years ago I adopted my dog Cedar from a shelter in Wisconsin. He has taught me so much about love, patience, and acceptance. As a reactive dog owner I understand how scary it can be to have other people care for your animal. I always use positive reinforcement techniques and have experience with training. I love animals of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I own a small business so my schedule is usually very flexible. I am available almost every day after noon. I tend to stay up late, so I can be available in the evenings if needed. I'll treat your dog like I treat my own! I use positive reinforcement. I am very gentle and patient. I love teaching dogs different tricks, or if playing fetch is more their speed that's fine too!
About: I have many years of experience taking care of all types of pets. I have had 16 different pets in my life, and pet sat over 15 times in the past year. For the summer this is what I'm doing full time. Starting September I will start up my second job at an elementary school as an after school care teacher so from 2pm-6pm I would have to be away from your pets, I will come right back as soon as i get off! I will take dogs for as many walks as your pets need a day, and will make sure I spend quality time with them and treat them as if they are my own. I have dog sat for someone who took their dogs on 4 walks a day and was very strict with how they care for their dogs and people who are more laid back and don't really have a say that much as long as they are getting proper care, so whatever you want me to do in order to keep them on their routine I can do.
“Jen walked my dog, Hank, morning and evening for a month while I recovered from surgery. She was always on time, cheerful and amazingly good with Hank. She did some excellent training with him (and me) - Hank did well, I’ll be hiring her to train me soon. She has my highest recommendation!”

Weekends are perfect for longer visits, extra play, and plenty of cuddle time I care for pets in a very hands-on, attentive way and always try to make them feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and reassurance. If pets stay in my home, I create a peaceful environment where they can settle in and feel relaxed. I stay observant of their needs and personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra comfort.
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’m naturally nurturing and currently in school pursuing a career in nursing, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals and enjoy building bonds with pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve trained my pets and I currently have a cat and a dog of my own. My dream is to one day have a farm filled with animals! Spending time with pets is something I truly love. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away. I am available Monday through Sunday various times and for overnight stays if needed. I am in the TC area until the end of August. I am happy to work with a family and all your needs for care. I always keep a pet's safety and care as my number one priority. My kitty and dog are my world, and I would treat other animals the same way I treat my own. I would be sure to keep them fed. loved and nurtured while they are in my care.
