Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tower

“Our dog stayed with Shae for 3 nights. She was so sweet and kind. She also sent me pictures and video updates during the stay which was so wonderful to stay updated during her visit. Thank you again!”

“Kathleen was amazing with our dog! She took her on a last minute booking request and responded to it very quickly. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day while she was caring for our dog. Our dog came back happy and tired and we can tell she was well cared for! We are very happy with her service and will book again if we’re in the area”

“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.”

About: Lifelong cat lover and dedicated foster mom providing nurturing care for cats with patience, experience and genuine love. I am experienced caring for cats of all ages, including kittens.

“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”

About: I have taken care of friend's cats in the past when they travel, but that is it in regard to my cat experience. I like cats, and am very capable of following your precise directions.

About: I take care of my senior dog and have since she was a puppy. I love animals and am excited to walk and take care of those you love in your life. I'm working towards my masters and have a part time role, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love to break my work day up by walking my dog, and I would love to walk yours too! I care for my dog through trust and support. I walk and feed her multiple times a day, and I make sure she gets the rest she needs.

“Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill”

About: Hi, my name is Nate. I’ve had a dog next to me since I was a baby. I raised a wild German Shorthaired Pointer from 8 weeks to 16 years. I’m very good with animals and “speak their language.” I can handle them well and sympathetic to their needs. I am a professional pilot and I have 6 days off at a time, every other week, so just looking to fill that time with some cute doggos. Wednesday through Monday. To start I will not spend time at my home with them other than a short visit if necessary. However, I will respect anyone’s home as if it were my own. I am a highly responsible adult and trust can be assured.

About: Hey guys! Im just a midwest girl living my in my midwest world! I have the typical grumpy husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We currently have one pup and two cats but eventually will get more! We are a fun loving family who will give your animal the love it needs while your away.

“Keilyn provided two drop in visits for our cats and was great!”

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. You can trust that I will take care of your fur babies the same as I do my own. They are part of the family and have rules to follow for everyone's benefit and safety.

“Shae and Apollo were fantastic! She was so quick to respond. She also tried to make meeting and pick up as easy as possible. She sent amazing pictures and it was great that my puppy didn’t even make a peep the entire 4 hour car ride home since he was so tired out from his fun adventure play date! Thank you so much shae!”

“This is our first time using Rover. It was an outstanding experience. Our initial inquiry was answered quickly. My conversation with Christine allowed me to feel this was a good fit for our dog Rio. The communication was excellent and more than I expected. I received texts, photos and a video. Rio was living his best life today. He got to play with another dog, go for walks and a swim. He is sleeping now after a fun filled day. I highly recommend you book with Christine. I love to shop in Petoskey so I know will be back.”

“Michael was AWESOME!!! He truly loves dogs and is kind and caring and tolerant of dog behaviors. We enjoy meeting Michael!”

About: I have loved and cared for many critters in my lifetime. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians. I love them all! We have one dog (Sawyer) and two cats (Marble and Nash). My 8 year old son and I would be the ones caring for your fur babies. My son helps me with the feeding and watering, as well as the litter box and backyard landmines. He gives the animals lots of love and cuddles. I work a lot during the week, but I would be available for any dog walking or drop-in visits before or after work during the week, depending on what we have going on that week. If you're looking for a getaway for a couple of nights, I'm available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. We have a house with 4 acres of unfenced property. Any dogs that are boarded here will be walked on the property regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise. We also have a lot of trails nearby that we could walk if the weather is decent. If your dog is friendly and social, we aren't too far from Gaylord, where there is a dog park. That way, they can get some serious running in!

“They were very quick to respond and great communication. Our pup seemed to be very content after we got home. Would recommend Margalina & Joshua”

About: Since childhood I have had a special place in my heart for dogs, birds, rabbits, freshwater and tropical fish, snakes, hamsters and geckos, all of which I have loved over the years as pets. I have also cared for friends and clients horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, parrots, boas, cats, dogs and bearded dragons. I enjoyed my favorite childhood moments at peace in the forests, farmland and equestrian schools and ranches. I helped to train a friend’s large breed rescue dog to stay back and sit so that one could more easily enter or leave the home. I like to have good boundaries with animals and allow or facilitate what the owner and pet needs. I also consider plants to be just as important to care for as animals. I have a somewhat flexible weekly routine offering: + Drop-Ins (Mon-Sun) + House Sitting 1-7days or longer; may be arranged to provide full time in home care if/when I have no other daily bookings. + Walks 30 min (longer = adjusted rate) daily. + Please chat with me for detailed scheduling as my routines are subject to change. I provide care for pets in the safety of the familiar surroundings of their owners home and neighborhood, with respect for their home spaces, routines, schedules, and needs: offering overnight sitting, walks and daily care drop ins.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with a husky and German shepherds. I can handle most to all pet personalities and love forming unique bonds to keep them relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I work from home so including your fur baby into my day and working around any special needs they may require will not be an issue Plenty of land for proper exercise and play, empty hardwood bedroom to keep pet structured but they will have free access to my entire home, which will be clean and free of any potential hazards.
