“Corie took great care of our cat Penny! She really went above and beyond taking care of everything and making us feel comfortable while we were away. If she's available, we would love to have her watch Penny again during our next trip!”


“Janelle was an amazing sitter for my kitties! She was extremely communicative and wanted to make sure she was doing everything as best as she could. She gave my babies love and always made sure their space was clean! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”


“Jen was great and cared for our three very senior kitties like they were her own! Was very observant and sent me updates each day, then left detailed notes for us when we returned. Cats this age (18) require a careful eye and we were very reassured that she was watching them. SO glad to have found Jen!”


“Justin was awesome! He was able to help me out on relatively short notice and took very good care of my special needs cat. Since he has experience with giving injections, I knew my diabetic cat was in good hands with his insulin shots. Very professional, while also being a super chill guy. Thank you!!”


About: I have 30+ years of pet sitting experience in homes and shelters and am Fear Free trained and certified. Will provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets including exercise, enrichment, and walks, along with lots of cuddles. My sole job is pet sitting, so I am able to care for many pet families throughout the day. Of course, I am only able to schedule one overnight stay per day. Please contact me ASAP for my availability. I can do overnight stays in a pets home so that they feel more comfortable with the sit. I do have other pet sits throughout the day, but rest assured that I will be available for your pet throughout the day.

About: Animal care is my passion! From years of dogsitting to working in a veterinary hospital, I have the personal and professional experience to give your pets the best care and make sure my clients feel super comfortable leaving their pets with me! I can pet sit all week and dog walk on weekends and weekday evenings after work. I do work ~35 hours a week and will always be communicative about my schedule with my clients! I am very accomodating to all households regarding how to care for the pets. I will always make sure the pets are getting the attention and care needed like treats, bones, walks, etc. Lastly, I always leave clients' homes clean and tidy!

“Kinzey, was wonderful and took such great care of my cat Pumpkin. She was sweet to come and meet pumpkin with me before my trip and she was kind enough to water my plants why I was away. She gave sweet detailed reports about each visit and photos to make me miss my baby a little less. Will definitely book again for my next trip.”


About: Hello! I have a large fenced yard in Little Lake that gives me the opportunity to board dogs that need space to run and exercise, and I have extra space inside my home that allows dogs who also enjoy their space/alone time. I’d love to offer boarding or daycare to anyone who needs extra support for their animals. I’m in Marquette County and can get around quickly so hit me up ! 😎 I also will meet halfway for anyone who cant make the full drive out. Just let me know how I can best support you! I work during the day but have lots of flexibility after work and on the weekends. My current schedule is M-T 8-4 with F-Sun completely off. Animals are sensitive and it’s important to stick to their routine if they have one, which includes respecting food brand, time of day to eat and walks. This consideration also helps me build trust with your animals!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few animals on multiple occasions. I can sit for cats and dogs at the same time. I love playing with animals and treat them like my own. I am full time college student but would be able to accommodate most pet sittings. I have a car and would easily be able to house sit! I spend lots of time with the animals I take care of. I can walk them, bathe them, play with them, and more! I have a pup of my own who is very loved. I also can do small household tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, watering plants, and getting the mail.

About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Three years ago I adopted my dog Cedar from a shelter in Wisconsin. He has taught me so much about love, patience, and acceptance. As a reactive dog owner I understand how scary it can be to have other people care for your animal. I always use positive reinforcement techniques and have experience with training. I love animals of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I own a small business so my schedule is usually very flexible. I am available almost every day after noon. I tend to stay up late, so I can be available in the evenings if needed. I'll treat your dog like I treat my own! I use positive reinforcement. I am very gentle and patient. I love teaching dogs different tricks, or if playing fetch is more their speed that's fine too!

About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility! We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.


About: Remote worker with flexible availability! Multiple years of experience dog walking/running/biking/hiking and always looking for a fur-ball adventure buddy to blow off some cold-weather energy with. Have experience with various breeds of various sizes with a spectrum of energy levels. Mindful, respectable, dependable and patient with both dogs and people. Willing to learn how to handle any dogs that require special attention or extra medical care. Please contact if any questions or just to say hello! I work full time remotely as an event coordinator for a snow-surf-skate non-profit so have tons of open availability to care for your beloved animals. Open to traveling further and staying for longer periods of time if needed. I can provide referrals from folks I have supported with their pups over the years. I always make sure to check-in and update daily and am very respectful of individual's needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 11. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding, bathing, as well as medication administration by family and friends. I work as a night shift nurse so my schedule can be a bit different, hectic, and sparse at times, but I’m still able and very much willing to give your dog the care, love, and attention they need and deserve! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always check fences or fence gates before letting a dog outside. If dropping in for a house visit, I like to make sure the area is safe and secure - making sure your pup doesn’t get into anything they shouldn’t, such as trash bins, food on the counter, etc.

About: I have taken training classes with one of my pups at home from beginner to advanced. I have most experience with puppies and adult dogs with a little experience with senior dogs and dogs with health issues. I have not had much experience sitting for cats, however I grew up with cats who I had from the time they were kittens through to old age. I am comfortable with pets of all ages! I also grew up with dogs as big as Old English Mastiffs and as small as tea cup Chihuahuas, so I am comfortable with all sizes as well. I am at the vet clinic for work 4-5 days of the week 8:30 - 6:30 or some days 8:30 - 1:30 depending if I work four 10 hour days or 5 days with two shorter days in the week. I have weekends off and have no obligations on the weekends. I have two playful pups at home that love to meet new people and dogs! Every couple hours they go on leashed potty breaks in the yard or around the block since we do not have a fence. They go on 30 minute walks almost every day and a special hike or activity at least once a week. The duties are split between my boyfriend and I, and usually our roommates don't mind helping while we're out of the house! While no one is home, my pups are gated in the livingroom with all doors closed throughout the day as we have a younger curious pup who chews things sometimes. They always have access to toys, fresh water, and couches/dog beds to lounge on. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in our bed with us at night, but we have two dog beds available as options. We love to give a couple treats/snacks throughout the day as well! When sitting for other pups, I rarely leave them unsupervised since I don't work on the days that I sit for other dogs. I really enjoy making the time spent with dogs coming to stay with us fun, so they can feel as relaxed as possible while away from home! As a pet parent myself, I respectfully follow all of my client's rules and what is required regarding their pets and home.

“Karina was wonderful! She contacted me a few times to check on things like the heat in the house because it got cold, and if to use the vacuum to clean up kitty litter! Her daily reports and photos definitely helped with my anxiety over leaving my baby alone. Highly recommend Karina.”


“Angus wanted to play with Jeff immediately upon meeting him! Angus is so happy in all of the updates Jeff sends me. Jeff took the time to make sure Angus got enough play time before going back to bed. Jeff was very flexible with his availability. 10/10 recommend.”

She makes sure they have play time and cuddles.

Kendra S.
“I have a reactive (due to trauma) pit bull who makes a terrible first impression to the point where people cross the street when we are walking. She is so scared of new situations and other dogs, she becomes highly reactive to the point where most people avoid her. She has separation anxiety and takes medication to help, but new people, dogs, and environments are just tough for this dog. I can't trust just anyone to care for her or walk her. Kendra's energy made an immediate positive impact on my dog and I would trust her with any dog or cat. She's compassionate, thoughtful, and detail oriented. You couldn't wish for a better pet care professional than Kendra. My only advice is get on her calendar now because it fills up quickly! Kendra has cared for pets her whole life and brings years of experience and knowledge. She's my number 1 go-to for my dog.”




Alexa A.

“Destiny is a wonderful person with a big passion and love for animals. She has two dogs of her own and she takes care of them very well. She makes sure they get regular treats and snacks, they get out for potty breaks on a frequent basis, get walks and outdoor play/adventure time, and they always have water available and are fed on time! On top of her love for animals she is a very trustworthy and honest person, she would make a great petsitter!”

Amber R.
“Amber is a caring and responsible individual when it comes to providing for pets. She watched my two rambunctious kittens for over a week while away, and I had no issues with the experience. She provided excellent communication the entirety of her gig, and regularly updated me with pictures of my kitties. My space was left clean and treated respectfully during this time as well. Would highly recommend her to any others considering her services.”


Candia C.
“I’ve been friends with Candia for over 10 years now. We met through the horse world. We travel for horse shows most wkds in the summer. We spend a lot of time together in tight quarters and in high stress situations. Shes always a “one step ahead” kind of person. She’s also cared for my horse at her stable for 5 years now, and I’d trust her with his life. She is looking to retire from her career as a dental hygienist, and working with animals would be the perfect position for her! She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsible. Her dogs are her family, and have lived the absolute best life and always have the best care. She is also very down to earth and easy to talk to, so I think everyone would feel comfortable having her care for their pets. She would love to take care of pets, and I know pets love her, so working with Rover would be a perfect fit!”
