“Tasha was GREAT with my cat, Peggle. Peggle had a great time with Tasha and her family and you can tell they really care about the animals they're caring for. I felt so comfortable knowing that Peggle was being cared for during her stay and I got updated with photos and videos regularly. Will 100% book again :)”
“Kaylee was AMAZING with my Addy. She sent us so many updates and adorable pictures. Addy was so tired after we picked her up today she sent herself to bed two hours before her normal bedtime. Thanks again Kaylee :)”
“When my dog entered Frances' house for the second time, she was clearly comfortable and happy right away. Frances and her whole family love on my Stella and her son immediately took her bed into his room to sleep right next to her! I received pictures and honest updates daily and Stella came home with all of her toys and supplies. Most importantly, Stella came home safe and happy and I'm thrilled that I have this wonderful boarding option in Frances!”
“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”
“Kim was fantastic with our dog! I’m so glad we chose her, what a perfect match! Kim and her family welcomed our dog as one of their own and took special care and attention to his needs. I’m sure he would have stayed longer if he could! Kim was extremely accommodating when I was running late and was amazing at communicating and sending pictures. It was a 10/10 stay for our dog!”
“Roman was fantastic watching our little Lilo. This was her second time staying with him and his family. They always are excited to have her. She gets walked and they send photos daily. Highly recommend”
“Our boys were well taken care of by Rachel with daily updates and pictures of them having a great time with Rachel. I have the highest opion of her and will board our boys with her again*****”
“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”
“Kailee took excellent care of Milo. He was loved and well cared for. She sent frequent photo updates during his stay and was fast to respond to any questions before and during his stay and was helpful and accommodating.”
“Alexandra did a perfect job sitting for my pet. She made my dog feel right at home, kept me updated throughout her stay, and was very accommodating and flexible. Would happily have my pet stay again!”
“My dog loves staying with Jenai & Sean so much so he wines now when we get close to their home. He comes back all smiles & tired from playing. Such a wonderful experience each time I don’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
“Ollie had a great time with Terry. The fenced in backyard was perfect for him to run around. I enjoyed the photos I received of him while I was gone. They spoiled my little guy. I was a little worried as this was a new sitter for Ollie, but the love and care Terry and his wife gave him relieved my worries. Ollie and I will be happy to have him stay with Terry again.”

“Grace is absolutely amazing with our cats. They perk up when they hear her arriving and are thrilled to receive brushes, pets, and playtime with her. She always sends great pictures of the cats and I know they are in good hands whenever we're away.”
“My husband and I had Jillian check in on my cat, Tucker, while we were away, and she did an amazing job! She was able to capture some really cute photos and I could tell Tucker was in great hands. Thank you so much!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine. I’m comfortable providing extra care for senior pets, pets with special needs, and those who may need medications or additional patience and reassurance. I also believe the little things matter—from keeping food and water areas clean, refreshing litter boxes, maintaining a tidy home, and noticing small changes in your pet’s behavior that may be important. My biggest priority is communication. I love sending regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy, safe, and receiving the attention they deserve. I don’t just watch pets—I build trust with them and their families.
“I so appreciated being able to easily communicate with Angi and the pictures Angi sent me with each visit. She did a nice job of keeping my two cats fed, watered, and giving them human contact while I was away. I will definitely request Angi’s help in the future.😊”
About: Biscuit is my sweet cat who I’ve loved and cared for over the past 2 years. I understand how essential a consistent routine is for cats. I’m experienced with sticking to strict feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes spotless, giving medication if needed, and offering patient affection whether your cat is energetic or shy.
“Thank you so much for going the extra mile with Mr. Energy!! That is so helpful and esp appreciated after these long busy shifts and the fact I’ve been getting home late and saves me from yet another walk in the dark.”
“Very responsive to our requests and leaves great notes about how our furbabies behaved and acted during his check-ins. We always know our girls will be in good hands!”
About: I am very in depth with my experiences with cats! I've owned them my entire life, I've fostered several kittens and litters. i have taken care of and bottle fed many litters of kittens with great success, i know cat body language very well and i hope you consider me to take care of your best friend! :)
“Halle was excellent! She was very communicative and even brought in a package for us. By the pictures, it looks like our cats really enjoyed her visits. We would recommend her!”

“I was visiting from out of state and only had a couple of days of notice but they were able to help. My 100lb Labrador was happier about going each day. I received regular photo and video updates of DJ socializing with other dogs and children. It appeared she had plenty to do and was definitely sleepy after. The whole family is very nice. Thank you!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
“Jacy was absolutely fantastic! Cinder had an amazing time with her. She sent frequent updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Her home and yard were the perfect place for pups to run, play, and have a great time. What really set her apart was how she went above and beyond. At the end of the day, she surprised us with a few printed photos of Cinder to take home, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and the people who trust her with them. We could tell Cinder was happy, well cared for, and having an absolute blast. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jacy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter!”
“First time here and Cub seemed to have really enjoyed himself. He clearly played a lot with the other dogs as he was spent when we got home! I’ll for sure be bringing him back again :)”
“My dog had a great time there! Kristopher took him for a walk in their back woods and said my dog Apollo did great and is always welcome back! Would recommend 100%”
“I honestly cant say enough good things about Kim and her family!! She is amazing with our pups and always goes above and beyond! It’s amazing to be able to travel without stressing if our pup is okay or not, when she’s with Kim we know she’s going to have an amazing time!!”
“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Dale and how he cares for Cashew! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for an awesome and reliable person to care for their loved ones!”
“We cannot state our appreciation for Beth further— she helped us out in a complete bind. We’re not from the area and travel with our dogs often so thought nothing of it when we had a wedding to attend in Holland but one dog decided she didn’t want to be quiet in our accommodations and we were told to figure it out or be evicted from the hotel (understandable). We put the call out to a few dog sitters over Rover and Beth responded quickly with compassion and responsiveness. We were able to drop our dogs with her after a very easy-going meeting to make sure all parties were comfortable and safe. It was easy to see Beth cared and had a great operation. We were able to attend the wedding and reception afterwards with peace of mind. We just scooped up our pups and they’re completely, happily pooped. I would recommend Beth to anyone who is looking for someone with a giant heart and generous soul to take care of their pups. Thanks again, Beth!!!”
About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.
“Julie and her husband, Joe, took good care of Obi. It was his first time staying with them. Julie sent me a picture and video of Obi having a good time. Their dog Barron was not home to play with, but I think they played with Obi and gave him lots of attention.”
About: I love animals! I have a 7 year old dog whose name is Winnie, a 5 year old dog named Winston. And a cat! . I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was 10 years old! I love going on walks, hikes, going to dog parks, and spending time with any animal companion. You’re welcome to ask questions you feel are relevant! I will give out my cell phone number so you’re able to check in on your fur baby and I’ll send as many photos as you would like! I also work from home all day everyday so I’ll be here with your fur babies all day and I’m able to leave at anytime to take them to appointments if needed! I will also have Winnie all day. If that’s not okay please let me know and I can take her doggy day care!

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs and am very experienced in the ways to care for them. In addition, I love them! :) I take care of elderly for a living, thrive in helping others and that extends to pups and kitties! I am typically unavailable during first shift hours Tuesday-Friday. I am quite flexible with time and can adjust if need be. Mondays I am very available. I currently only have a cat named B, he is around 2 years old and I can guarantee he is spoiled and loved ! He never leaves my side when I’m home.
About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m sticking with Rover full time for a while! I’ve tried Camp Bow Wow, and found it isn’t the right work environment for me. I like providing services through Rover as I can better manage my schedule and get to know your fur babies more personally! With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 7 years all different sizes. Big and small and I love every minute of it! I’m currently working part time in Kalamazoo but Still have plenty of time to be able to play with your pets! My schedule does change weekly. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!

Although I don’t have a dog, I love them just as much and love any opportunity I get to work with them and spend time with them! I have worked with animals since I graduated in high school in 2016. I have worked at animal shelters, a vet clinic and a doggy daycare so I have a ton of experience. I’m excited to get to know you and take care of your fur babies! 🥰 I am currently doing rover as my full time job so I am able to be very flexible with my schedule and take last minute clients I sadly cannot offer boarding currently but I am happy to send pictures and updates of your fur babies when I drop in to take care of them!

About: I have had dogs my whole life! I love working with them and caring for them all! I am also able to train them to an extent! I am currently unemployed, I am available anytime, any day! Just let me know what you want or need and I am happy to help. I will care for the dogs in any way wanted or needed. In experience with my own pets I know all dogs and cats are different from another. I live out of the city in the woods and could easily crate if needed!
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and recently became a dog-father to my 50lb poodle mix, Maggie about a year ago. I can appreciate the love we have for our fur-babies and how they are a part of the family. As a recent WMU DPT grad, I am in need of a little extra cash while studying full time for my licensure exam. I would love to be able to care for your dog in a flexible way that allows me time to study! As a recent DPT graduate from WMU, I am "full time" studying for my licensure exam at the end of April. Luckily, this gives me plenty of time to be flexible and care for dogs during study breaks, or staying in house as necessary. I live in a home with 2 medium-large sized dogs that get along well. My dog, Maggie, is a very well mannered poodle mix that gets a long with every dog we meet. We would love puppy play dates at the local Richland park, or Maggie can just as easily stay at home.
About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night
About: I have grown up with multiple pets in the house at once and have 5+ years of sitting. I am very passionate about ensuring that animals are well taken care of and have a flexible schedule. I’m currently a graduate student at WMU, and spend most of my free time studying or hanging out with my cats! My schedule is very flexible, which means I have more time to spend with your fur babies :) I am able to walk, feed and play with your pet for as long as needed, as well as drop by for potty breaks as often as needed. I take into account the personality of every animal and tailor each experience to each different pet.
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.
About: I enjoy every animal for their individual personalities. I look forward to caring for them when I am not caring for people in the hospital. I work full time as an RN and care for pets on my days from my career. Seeing animals brings me joy and warms my heart. I care for pets as if they are all my own and enjoy the little things. I pay attention to detail and like to leave areas in better off condition that when I find it. Your pets happiness is my priority.
“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! Not only my own dogs, but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I love animals and they love me. I am flexible and can adapt to serve your pets needs. I have great attention to detail and care for pets in a timely manner, feeding and walking consistently according to their normal schedule to avoid disrupting their routine. I know how tough it is to leave your pets, but I will give them love and care and send as many pictures as you’d like throughout their time with me. I am a grad student and I would be happy to add caring for your pet into my day or week. I have time to let your pet out about every 4 hours. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special requests. I groomed my golden doodle and gave him all his haircuts for several years. I’d be happy to groom your dog too! I will do my best to adjust to feed and walk or play with your dog at the time they are used to do their routine isn’t disturbed.
About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay. I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps. Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀

“Tasha was GREAT with my cat, Peggle. Peggle had a great time with Tasha and her family and you can tell they really care about the animals they're caring for. I felt so comfortable knowing that Peggle was being cared for during her stay and I got updated with photos and videos regularly. Will 100% book again :)”
“Kaylee was AMAZING with my Addy. She sent us so many updates and adorable pictures. Addy was so tired after we picked her up today she sent herself to bed two hours before her normal bedtime. Thanks again Kaylee :)”
“When my dog entered Frances' house for the second time, she was clearly comfortable and happy right away. Frances and her whole family love on my Stella and her son immediately took her bed into his room to sleep right next to her! I received pictures and honest updates daily and Stella came home with all of her toys and supplies. Most importantly, Stella came home safe and happy and I'm thrilled that I have this wonderful boarding option in Frances!”
“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”
“Kim was fantastic with our dog! I’m so glad we chose her, what a perfect match! Kim and her family welcomed our dog as one of their own and took special care and attention to his needs. I’m sure he would have stayed longer if he could! Kim was extremely accommodating when I was running late and was amazing at communicating and sending pictures. It was a 10/10 stay for our dog!”
“Roman was fantastic watching our little Lilo. This was her second time staying with him and his family. They always are excited to have her. She gets walked and they send photos daily. Highly recommend”
“Our boys were well taken care of by Rachel with daily updates and pictures of them having a great time with Rachel. I have the highest opion of her and will board our boys with her again*****”
“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”
“Kailee took excellent care of Milo. He was loved and well cared for. She sent frequent photo updates during his stay and was fast to respond to any questions before and during his stay and was helpful and accommodating.”
“Alexandra did a perfect job sitting for my pet. She made my dog feel right at home, kept me updated throughout her stay, and was very accommodating and flexible. Would happily have my pet stay again!”
“My dog loves staying with Jenai & Sean so much so he wines now when we get close to their home. He comes back all smiles & tired from playing. Such a wonderful experience each time I don’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
