Dog and kitty care needed in beautiful Traverse City!
Introduction
My name is Beryl and my husband is Jim. We live in beautiful Traverse City, Mi- in a beautiful home. We have an anxious beagle and a very laid back cat that live with us. Their care is easy, although our dog Frankie requires lots of love and close contact. My husband and I love to travel and when we can we take Frankie with us. But, sometimes we can't- and then we need a house sitter for her.
Show more...Home & location
We have a three bedroom, 3 1/2 bath house located in a beautiful subdivision just outside of Traverse City. It is quiet and peaceful here. We have a gas fire place that keeps the living room cozy. We have a guest room and a bathroom dedicated to pet sitters and guests. Our kitchen is stylish and modern. Our yard has an electric fence that keeps Frankie within our property of 1 acre. But, you won't be caring for Frankie, only Lily and she rarely goes outside during the winter. IF you have a warm sunny day, she might want to for a very short time. Please don't leave her out at all in the dark hours.
Show more...Responsibilities
We need a house sitter in September and October. We have a friendly, loving Beagle mutt and a furry kitty. They are both well behaved- well, Frankie has some anxiety and will need to be crated when you leave the house. I'd rather not have her in a crate any more than 4 hours per day. I feed them twice daily at noon then again at 4 pm. Try to adhere to this schedule, but I realize that you may want to head out for sight seeing or grocery shopping. Kitty is pretty independent and can go outside during the day, but has to be in at night. Frankie like a walk during the day. Both animals can go outside at will because we have a magnetic screen on our sliding glass doors.

Meeting and visiting with Beryl and Jim was a fun evening. And they have two wonderful pets, Frankie and Lily. Frankie is sweet and lovable and enjoys being near you. Lily likes her pets and cuddles too and her freedom to come and go as she pleases inside and outside. Their home is located in a beautiful area and is conveniently located to all the services you need. We recommend this sit and hope to return.

This was such a great sit! Beryl and Jim were amazing to work with and made sure I was set up for success with there sweet cuddly cat Lily! There home is so special filled with art from all of their travels, and it was such a comfortable home with all the creature comforts. What a wonderful experience, I could not recommend sitting for them enough. If you are looking to visit Traverse City this is a great place to sit and stay!

Helen was a great sitter; very easy going, friendly, and communicative. Our shy kitty was relaxed and received lots of attention from Helen. Helen cared for our home and my plants too, while we were away for a month. She sent us regular updates on Lily ( our cat) and the house was spotless and clean when we returned. I would highly recommend Helen and would love to have her sit for us again.
