“Cathy did a great job with our dogs. Very professional and through. They are pretty low maintenance pups but it is nice to know they were not alone while we were gone and well taken care of !”
“Would highly recommend Sophia! She was very accommodating for our dogs schedule and handled a stressful situation very professionally. She kept us informed of what was going on and sent pics of our pup while we were gone. Gave us peace of mind and would definitely have her dog sit again!”
“We are so lucky to have found Olivia. After our original sitter had to cancel 3 days before our trip, we were left scrambling to find a new one. Olivia responded to our inquiry very quickly and was flexible in scheduling a time to chat over the phone prior to us leaving. She was very communicative and provided great photos. Overall, I highly recommend her, and plan to rebook with her in the future!”
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: 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!
“Maggie and Oakley instantly accepted Matt. Matt recognized large dog excitement and responsed with quiet control. He respected Maggie's senior needs. While Oakley just wanted to cuddle. Matt gathered information for their care, sent us pictures of each dog and adapted his service to our needs. We will hire Matt again for our dogs care”
“Janelle stayed with our 3 dogs for a week and did a great job. Janelle was very responsive when we would reach out for updates, she sent updates and pics and took good care of our pups.”
“Paige was excellent with our 2 big dogs! I am always a little worried to travel without them and she did an excellent job keeping us updated and taking care of them. We could tell they were receiving top notch care! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my family’s dogs (2–3 at a time) for over 8 years.

I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 p.m., and I’m completely free and flexible on weekends to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of loving pets and snuggles to keep your furry friends happy and cared for!
“Ryan gets an A+. All the things you want in a sitter - on time, courteous, friendly without fawning, great listener - an all-in-all excellent experience. We rescued our two a few months ago, and this was their first experience of being without at least one of us [reallly sensitive after a BAD previous adoption]; it couldn't have gone better. Although somewhat leery of strangers, they wormed up to Ryan within 5 minutes. He was understanding and caring with them, and our worries disappeared. We will have him again (if we ever leave the house!).”
“Heather did an amazing job to taking care of my dogs while I was away. She gave updates during her visits to the house. She even offered to take my pup to a visit because he got a small cut . I definitely recommend Heather for your pet sitting needs.”

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.”

She’s the kind of person who shows up fully and consistently for others.”
