Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sparr
“I had to find a dog sitter short notice for a work trip. Tayler was accommodating with setting up a meet and greet and with the dates I needed care. Tayler and her family took such great care of my two furbabies. She sent me lots of pictures of them smiling and being loved on. I highly recommend Tayler to take care of your dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Randy and his wife were friendly and welcoming, they made us feel comfortable with leaving our two pups in their care. Really appreciated the updates and pictures of how they were enjoying their time at Randy’s home. Highly recommend 😃”

“Alyssa was amazing in keeping in touch with pics and text. She was very good with a high energy bigger dog that is emotionally needy. Highly recommend her services. Will be using her services on a regular basis!”


About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.
“Sky is very welcoming and professional. I got several updates about my puppy’s stay. I was nervous with this being his first sleepover, him not being fully potty trained, and being put on meds semi last minute, but she communicated with me before his stay and helped put me at ease.”

“Kendra was fantastic and Coco Bear had a great visit. Everything was very professional and organized and Kendra was a great communicator. Could not ask for a better experience. Thanks Kendra!”

“Audrey was wonderful! We were in a bind last minute and she saved us. Audrey is very responsive, sent pictures of our boy and put my mind at ease. It can be so challenging finding care you trust for your pets but I would absolutely recommend Audrey and would use her again in the future.”
“Christine and Troy were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. They communicated clearly and consistently and it was obvious that they cared deeply about the comfort and safety of our dogs. They gave them heaps and love and attention and let them roam throughout their warm and welcoming home. They catered to the dogs' quirks and individual wants and needs. I would be thrilled to have Christine and Troy take care of our older dogs again.”

“Emma took great care of our older cat. She was punctual and stayed awhile to pet our cat. I would definitely use her again. She communicated daily with pics on how our cat was doing.Thanks Emma!”


“Chloe did a a fabulous job watching our little girl. She spent lots of time playing with her and gave her ample supervised outdoor time. She even left Cat TV on for our girl while she was away. Chloe sent us multiple updates with pictures and was always very responsive. We are also very appreciative with how much time Chloe was able to spend with our kitty while we were away, ensuring that she did not get lonely. We highly recommend Chloe and will be booking her in the future! :)”

About: Fair prices, compassionate, patient, good with all ages of pets, I’ll treat your pet as my own, available almost every time you set up an appointment. I’m currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pet, to be there when you need me to, walk them when they want to, and feed and play with them whenever they bark. I have a decent yard they can run and play in, bunch of toys, and I can take them for walks at anytime, smoke free home, and I’m just a compassionate pet lover.
About: I have cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I work at a boarding kennel/ daycare and am used to cues in play when it comes to dogs. I have cleaned up after all of the messes with no issues, and can bath if needed and the animal allows it (extra fee). I can administer medications in all varieties and can comfortably handle shy and reactive dogs. I have leash walked dogs that have recently had acl repairs and can lift over 50 lbs if needed. I work 4 days at my current job from 8-5. I have three days off and can work with you as needed. I have my own car and can travel within reason. I have a fenced in backyard and space to put kennels while your dog rests. I have a three year old Australian shepherd who absolutely loves other dogs. (Shy to people). I have a gate to put up so your dog could have free rein of the living room in the evening and a camera to be able to check in on them.
About: I’ve taken Care of animals for about 20 years now. I’ve been dog sitting for 7 years privately for my neighbor and her two dogs. I love all animals and tend to spoil them rotten! We just love snuggling and playing with animals. Just let me know when, where and how often! Im available before during and after work. Message me and we can make a plan! Thanks! I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dogs at her home for about 7 years now. One of her dogs is special needs as well. I do as she tells me. My home is no different. Your pets will receive lots of love and attention. I have plenty of space outdoors as well.
About: I have 2 years of experience volunteering at the Humane Animal Treatment Society in Mount Pleasant, MI, so I have a lot of experience walking many different dogs! I personally have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and they are such a joy! I am a Physical Therapist currently living in the Gaylord area! I will begin working full time in August. Prior to that, I am free during the weekdays and most weekends! I have all the supplies needed for a pet to stay in my home! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I love taking dogs for walks and have walked many different dogs on leashes before!
“Frani is so wonderful with my little maltipoo Cali. Cali has never had anyone walk her except me, and Frani helped make the transition of having a dog walker a few times a week a breeze! Cali loves her, and they have a great time walking and sniffing around the neighborhood and dog park. Frani is reliable, on time, communicative, friendly, and a really nice person. I highly recommend Frani!”

About: I'm honest, dependable, caring, kind and very experienced caregiver to animals with all sorts of needs. I tend to like animals more than humans, if I watch your dogs or cats, its likely I will also take out your trash and do your dishes because I'm like that. I'm currently retired, however I travel quite a lot, but when I'm not travelling, I have 100% availability 7 days a week and all hours. Pets tend to do well with routine, thus I would stay on whatever your pet's routine usually is... if your dog is active that is a +++ as we rarely sit at home and do nothing, but oif your pet likes to just be home then we can do that as well.
