Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tapiola
“Jaylynn and Benjamin were absolutely amazing with our dog! They made him feel like part of the family and he was a happy happy boy playing with their golden retriever and other puppy they were dog sitting for! Their communication was excellent and we really enjoyed getting updates and pics. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“Marcy did a fabulous job taking care of Tanner for a few days while we visited Isle Royale National Park. She took him for long walks, played with him in the back yard, took him berry picking and to the beach and provided a loving “home away from home” for him during his stay. She sent me regular updates and photos of the little fellow to put my mind at ease that instructions for his feeding, medication, and care were being followed precisely and he was doing well. I couldn’t recommend Marcy more highly and would love to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future if we are back in the area.”
“We are repeat users of Jane and Jared! They are both so kind & offer such a welcoming atmosphere. Stone feels extremely comfortable and “at home” when visiting. Jane is wonderful at sending updates, and engaging in all the activities that our dog loves to do! She shares pictures, and stories along the way & we love to hear about how everything is going for peace of mind. Thank you for the last minute booking! We’ll use Jane & Jared again and again! ❤️”
“What an amazing dog care experience with Karma and her family! From the moment I met them, I felt relieved and confident that Ginger and my JRT/Shepherd Mix puppy, Bhageera, would be in safe hands. I was already confident about Ginger, since he is calm and composed. But Bhageera is very energetic and, as a puppy and a working dog, he needs more than just a sitter. Karma and her family completely understood his needs and provided the perfect care while we were on our trip to Isle Royale. Since Isle Royale National Park does not allow pets, we had to find a pet sitter — and we were so lucky we did. As an added bonus, John, Karma’s husband, owns and operates the Isle Royale Queen ferry. What an amazing coincidence and what a wonderful family! Their Aussie Doodle, Max, became Bhageera’s buddy and gave him the stimulation and play he needed. Meanwhile, Ginger was able to relax in a quieter environment. Karma’s kids also helped care for the puppy and made him feel comfortable and loved. Overall, I am beyond happy. This was the perfect combination for our furry family, and we are so grateful for the care they provided while we crossed Lake Superior. We frequently visit the Keweenaw area during the summer and fall, and we will surely be seeking their help during our next visit. I would recommend Karma 100%.”
“Suz was wonderful! She really cared about our two Goldens! She took them for walks and allowed them time to play in the yard. We were sent plenty of pictures and updates as to how things were going. We will book with Suz again for sure!!!”
“Woody spent the day with Whitney and we picked him up tired and happy. Playing with Walker, another GSP, obviously agreed with him. Whitney will be caring for Woody again as we feel very comfortable leaving him with this Rover host!”

“We think Kat did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats! They are shy but everything worked out fine for all. Kat also kept my plants watered and let us know of any situations with the house since we were gone for a longer period period of time. we really appreciate her going the extra mile for us!”
“Erica did an amazing job!! Shes super kind and friendly, very attentive and great at communicating and following instructions. She kept us updated through text and pictures every day. My kitties seemed to really like her and Ill definitely use her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Evah was wondering and did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Even went above and beyond bringing in a couple packages for me. I highly recommend her services. Thanks Evah!”
“Karina did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She took care of all my cats needs, was responsive, and sent detailed reports. Would highly recommend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tapiola
“Ashley is amazing! We have a new GSD puppy who’s 10 weeks old, she’s exactly what you expect, full of energy and biting. Ashley watches Bean twice a week while me and my fiancé are at work and unable to be home with her. She does a great job at sending us photos, videos, and keeping us informed on how Bean is doing. We feel great about leaving Bean with her, she really gives us peace of mind that Bean is not only safe but having fun too. P.S. We were the cancelled booking, we booked Ashely the night before the date Bean would’ve been with her and Ashely was more than willing to take Bean for the day on such short notice! Unfortunately she got sick, which happens to the best of us 😅”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper & Mo! I was thrilled that they settled in so quickly and hung out with your crew. It was great peace of mind to know they were in loving care all day.”
“Cosmo had a great day with Karma and company! Thanks so much for welcoming our pup into your family for the day. We’ll be back! This was our first outing with Rover and i am very happy we tried it.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Tapiola
“We were in Houghton to visit Isle Royale. The issue was we were traveling in our RV with our 3-year-old Labrador and we didn't want to leave him alone for such a long day. We were lucky enough to find Rylie and I really can't say enough good things about her. She came over three times throughout the day to let our dog out, walk him, and spent time with him. Each time she sent us several new pictures and communicated wonderfully throughout the day. She allowed us to enjoy the day and not have to stress over our dog being watched and taking care of. If we're ever back in Houghton we will definitely use Rylie again!”
About: Hi, I'm JaLynn! I offer pet sitting services including drop in visits, dog walking, bathing and in-home dog boarding. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and more so your pets will fit right in! I'm also a SAHM to a sweet 1 yr old girl, and a gentle Golden Retriever named Yetti who loves company. We live in the country with a large fenced in backyard where your pets can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My aim is to be a dependable and helpful resource for your family to make your travels a little less stressful. I am a Stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible during the day for daycare. My husband also works from home so typically if I'm not home, he is! I generally am most free in the mornings and evenings for drop ins. I have a large fenced in backyard and a doggy door so your pet will be able to play as much as they desire. I also have a friendly golden retriever who loves company! I do have a 1 yr old daughter so all in home stays will need to be experienced and friendly with kids.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs. I will take your pups on walks, feed them, play with them, entertain them, and also provide some housekeeping as well! I am pretty flexible on times and days that you need me! Let me know and I can try my best to make anything work for you! I can care for your pets in your home any way that you would like. I can get used to dogs who take a little bit to warm up and learn the ways of their personalities.
