“Penny and her kids are wonderful. They did a great job with Scooter, and were so understanding of my "first-timer" nervousness! I will definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”

“Jayne knows dogs, and she knows OUR dogs, because she keeps notes from one visit to the next. Love that she only takes one client at a time. And her home is great! Jayne is a keeper!”

“Kareesa did a wonderful job with Chiko! She is very professional and really knows dogs. I appreciated how well she communicated with him and worked with us before we left to understand his needs, personality, and how to set him up for success. It’s clear that Kareesa knows animals and really understands training. We appreciated having someone so knowledgeable taking care of our guy. Kareesa communicated consistently and provided nice updates with photos and descriptions of their day/activities. We would definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Kareesa!”

“Melissa was great! She has watched our dog twice now, and was reliable and helped us work out our dog’s anxiety. She sent us text updates at least twice per day.”

“Tango had a great time with Jennifer and her dog, Madeline when I dropped him off for a day of play while visiting Saugatuck. Jennifer has a huge yard where my pup could race around and expend all his energy (and Madeline was very tolerant of him). Jennifer took extra care with Tango when they got out of the heat and went indoors, allowing the two dogs to sleep separately and comfortable. Then Tango got to play in the spray hose for a while. He came home happy and exhausted. Jennifer is a super dog caregiver and I wouldn't hesitate to take Tango back there. She is an experienced dog sitter and also very sweet and thoughtful person.”

I am a professional wildlife biologist and animal behaviorist. I have been a part of many dog-friendly families for over a decade. Often called Auntie Kareesa, I am used to having many dog friends I consider and treat as if they were my own family. I love to take out my fury friends hiking with me and am good at being in tune with their needs. I am also good with all sorts of different breeds as I have studied many of them. As a wildlife biologist I am familiar with animal behavior in general, and most often I am able to help dog owners further understand their animals behavior and needs. I love learning from animals and the many things they can teach us as well as help educate myself and others about them. I am an entrepreneur and I work mostly from home with the exception of a few days a week where the most I will be gone at one time will be 4-6 hours. I only host one pet at a time and I provide quality care and a peaceful environment. My community offers long, safe, and private walking paths and hiking trails. I am a long time trusted house sitter and my service includes not only caring for your pet and/or pets but also watering plants, bringing in the mail, rolling out trash bins (if applicable) on trash days, and overall caring for your home and a high standard of upkeep in your home, as well as keeping your entire home and pet(s) friendly and loving company. Your pet is given quality care and attention. Each pet and breed has very specific needs and preferences. I tailor everything I do aside from your feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks, for each individual based on their specific needs.

“We were so very happy with Jayne! She cared for our Clover like she was family, and it made our time away from her less stressful for sure! She kept us updated, and sent us pictures and I knew my fur baby was in good hands and also in a more comfortable environment!! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for our Clovers’ care needs!! Thank you Jayne!!!”
