“Nick kept in touch during our travels as he cared for our feline family members. Our trip was relaxing and enjoyable with the reassurance that our boys were being well cared for.”
About: I grew up with pets of all sorts. I love both dogs and cats and have helped numerous friends and family when they needed someone to care for their fur babies. I live in Chelsea and work in Ann Arbor, so im pretty flexible location wise. I work full time in Ann Arbor. Wednesday through Monday is best for me (I'm gone all day on Tuesday's), but I can be flexible depending on your needs. I live in a home in a small community with a private road. There are lots of trails and parks nearby if you have a pup that loves to get in some exercise. There is a dog park within 1 mile of my home.
“Sydney was amazing! My pets were well taken care of and I did not need to worry at all, she even sent pictures! Sydney also left the house cleaner than it was when she got here. She was very gracious and accommodating when I had a last minute change. I will 100% book Sydney again.”
About: I have extensive experience working with many types of Animals in different settings and circumstances including; 5 years in a veterinary hospital and humane society as well as 2+ years working with farm animals. I am a "stay at home-steader" with nearly 10 acres and plenty of time to devote to your pet(s). I am home most days, my schedule is pretty open. Adding additional petcare does not change my routine much since I'm already working on my homestead. I like to get to know each pet as an individual with their own preferences and boundaries. I like to try and meet them on their own terms and am attentive to behavior and health cues.
