“Terry and his wife took great care of Max while we were getting work done at our house. We appreciate them being able to watch him and the workers appreciate working in silence at our house. haha!”
“Easy and convenient. Joshua took such good care of our puppy while we attended a late night event that most day care services wouldn't be available. Chester was tired out and went right to bed when we got him home, which we appreciate! Will book again.”
“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”
“Lynn was very accommodating to my last minute request for doggy day care. She understood the differing needs of my two dogs and was very patient and sensitive with my puppies comfort levels in regard to socialization and food allergies. My pups had a great time with their furry friends and came home tuckered out and happy!”
“Ashley and I met ahead of time so that we could see if it was a good fit. Ashley is friendly and knowledgeable about animals. My dog was very comfortable with her. She even sent me some photos. I will be using her services again.”
About: Park nearby my house, have experience around most breeds of dogs, I make sure the dogs feel comfortable, big backyard, on time with care and able to give dogs medication if it is needed. I am currently in between jobs so I am able to attend to your dog quickly. I am routine oriented so I would be on schedule of feeding, exercising, and playing with your dog at precise hours. I have three happy dogs in the home. Water bowl is always full, backyard for the dogs to run around and a park nearby if they need more space. Free roam in the house as they would like.
“Leeann was very friendly and took excellent care of my princess. Communication was great and I got tons of pics which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.
“Lisa was very communicative and Shelby had a great time at her house for the day. We were completely comfortable leaving Shelby in her care as she was immediately welcoming and careful to get Shelby comfortable at her home slowly.”
About: What sets me apart. I would say I love animals more than I love humans and I would also say that I have had actually had senior dogs and multiple ages of dogs before until they have passed away. But I love and treat a dog like they are my child cause they are. A pet care fits in my routine by me making time it would probably be after or before I go to my primary job if I am being honest. I would care for your pet like I would care for my pet. I have an open half fenced in yard. They would have to be on a leash yard tie out, and I would provide water.
“Loved Lauren and Jarek !! They made Britney's stay extra special!! They went above and beyond to make sure it was smooth sailing!! Highly recommend them and will definitely hire them when back in Michigan 😍”
About: I have helped care for dogs my entire life. Growing up my parents ran a pet sitting buisness. My mother was a vet tech and our large loving home was full of dogs-both our own and clients of my parents- many of whom our family watched through the span of a lifetime. Because of this, dogs have played a pivotal part in my life and I just adore them! I am the lady at the dog park loving on all of your pups, and taking their photos! I am currently working from home and have full availability. I am able to provide your dog with as many walks and potty breaks as necessary. I own my home with a large fenced In yard, and I live with my Partner of eight years and our fur baby,Soma,(Husky-shepard mix) who loves other dogs. I can crate your dog if you wish, otherwise they will become a part of our home during their stay.
