“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pet care is a big part of my daily life. Whether it's my own pets or the wildlife I rehab, I'm always surrounded by animals.

About: I've worked with a large variety of dogs. High energy dogs are some of my favorite. I've worked with and own multiple with a variety of talents from bitework, tracking, and scentwork. I'm a huge sucker for puppies and senior dogs. I love being able to take care of them in both fun and easy ways. I am currently getting enrolled in school and will have ample time to care for any animals needed. My schedule is very flexible. If I have wifi then I am good to go! I enjoy keeping dogs in their comfort zones while their parents are gone. Keeping them relaxed, loved, and worn out from playing are my goals! I am open to whatever picture is needed for that to happen 😊
“Amber did great with Liberty. She sent us photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We will definitely use her in the future.”
About: Hello, my name is Alana and I am so glad you have considered me to watch your fur baby! For over a decade I have taken care of almost every animal under the sun including dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens, cows, and so many more! What sets me aside from others is my love for all animals, and my dedication to ensuring their needs are met. Currently, I attend Saginaw Valley and am slowly earning my bachelors degree in social work. I also work within the public school system with individuals with disabilities. My schedule works perfectly for individuals looking for drop in’s every 6-8 hours or if you are looking for an overnight sitter. If your pet requires more frequent visits, I would suggest contacting a sitter who can accommodate this. When taking care of your fur babies, their safety and mine is always my number one priority. In order to maintain a safe environment, I suggest that we schedule a meet and greet before the day of the service request. This way your pet will know me, easing some tension when you are gone. Furthermore, when in your home I ensure that I remain calm and follow directions as laid out by you in order to fulfill your pets needs.

I work 9 to 5:30 in houghton Lake Thurs.,fri.,sat., mon.,and Tues. On Sundays I work 10-4. I am fully available on Wednesday and Thursdays. I can fit pet care in the mornings and afternoons on workdays. Keeping pets safe, happy and comfortable is a must. I have two gentle giants of my own and a large yard to run and play while supervised.
