Kali’s Pet Sitting Services, Lowell, MI (2024)

08/22/2024

New service alert! 🚨

In the past, people have asked me to stay with their pets for longer than an hour drop-in, so I’ve decided to make extended drop-ins (or daycare) a new service of mine.

This service is best if scheduled in advance (unlike a regular drop-in which can be scheduled last minute) because I will need to designate multiple hours to hang with your pets.

Extended drop-ins are the perfect way to break up a long day for your pets. This service is also good for those pets that need constant care, or cannot be left alone. Schedule now by sending me a message! 🐾💚

Happy Monday!! Last week was pretty quiet, but I was able to schedule a bunch of meet and greets and future bookings 🥳 I had a blast meeting pet owners and their furbabies, and I can’t wait to meet some more of you this week, too!

Recap:
•(photos 1, 2) Drop-in with Maggie and Nash!! Fed these cuties dinner and then we had some good playtime outside ⚽️

•(photo 3) Drop-in with Max ◡̈ Fed Max lunch, and gave him lots of snuggles during our hour together. He has the sweetest face 🥹

Looking ahead: I start some recurring drop-ins this week, have three more meet and greets, and begin house sitting on Saturday. Should be a fun week!!

08/15/2024

I missed International Cat Day (August 8th) since I was on vacation, but still wanted to take the time to show my appreciation for kitties! 🐱 While I do love dogs with my whole heart, kitties are my favorite animal.

If you book me for a drop-in visit for your kitties, and they tend to be on the timid side, I usually just make my self comfortable, calm, and approachable. I will sit at your house for the entire 30 minutes, even if your kitty never approaches me 😆

I’ve been known to be a “kitty whisperer”, and I’ve had the most shy cats come around to me 🥹 It’s so rewarding when my patience pays off. The best part is when your furbabies let me love on them and show me their personalities 💚

08/14/2024

‼️ Books are now open for the remainder of the calendar year ‼️

Please note:
Overnight care often books fast. Prior clients may get priority as they do not require a meet and greet, and they can be booked right away. I do my best to fit as many people in as possible, especially during peak vacation times.

If I am unavailable for overnight care, I can still drop-in on your pets as long as they’re comfortable alone overnight. I recommend a minimum of 3 thirty minute drop-ins a day in place of house sitting. This is definitely better for shorter vacations.

I would love to get some more recurring drop-in visits scheduled through the end of the year! An example of a recurring service could be drop-ins around lunch time on Monday-Friday weekly, if you’re away at work. If this sounds like something you may need, or if you know somebody else interested, send me a PM to work out details. Popping in on your pets is always the highlight of my day, and definitely helps break up their day, too! 💚

Super pumped to get to spend time with old and new friends as we approach another holiday season!! Becoming best friends with your pets is my favorite thing to do 🥹

08/12/2024

I’m baaaaack!!! Enjoyed the best vacation on Drummond Island with my fam and doggies 💚

I am slowly replying to messages from when I was gone. If for some reason you don’t hear by me from tomorrow, please send me another text and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Thanks again for your patience while I was away!

Looking ahead, I have two slower weeks. Back to school time is often slow 😅 I have some nights available for overnight care, and my books are open for drop-ins!

Additionally, I will be working to get my calendar finalized for the upcoming holiday season, create some new infographics for commonly asked questions, and finalize additional rates for new pet sitting services (farm care + extended drop-in rates). Stay tuned for lots of new information!!

08/01/2024

I am officially headed up north for vacay. Looking forward to some much needed relaxation time with my family and my own pets!

I will have limited cell service, so if you send me a message I will likely respond once I’m back home. Thanks in advance for your patience! 💚

Excited to come home with my batteries recharged for when I am back to work on August 12 🥰

08/01/2024

I’m a little late to my weekly photo-dump… and a little late at night to post 😅 Things have been busy, but super fun lately!!

Recap of some of the last ten-ish days:
•(photo 1, 2) An hour long drop-in with Cooper (golden) and Wonder (lab). We spent the drop-in sitting outside and enjoying the summer evening!

•(photo 3) Dinner and potty break for Mr. Moe. Love that little guy. He’s such a cutie!

•(photo 4) A couple drop-ins with some new faces, Jax (lab) and Piper (little pup). It was so nice getting to know these dogs. I fed them dinner/breakfast, offered them a potty break, and gave them some love and attention during my drop-ins. They loved it!

•(photo 5-8) Farm sitting for a few nights! I spent time with Lola (pup), Whitley (kitty), 14 chickens, and two ponies. Lola and Whitley are BFFs and it was hilarious to watch them play together. Being around horses was an added bonus (and always fills my heart) 💚

‼️I am heading up north for about 11 days tomorrow and will be unavailable for all pet sitting services. Thanks in advance for your patience if I am slow to respond to messages. Another post with more info coming soon!

07/22/2024

Just finished the best week ever with all of these cuties — my heart is so full! 💚🥹

LONG recap:
•(photos 1-3) Spent five nights house sitting for my grandma’s pups 🐶 Bandit (top of photo 1) loves playing fetch (see photo 2), and Casey (bottom of photo 1) loves all the belly rubs. I don’t have a ton of girl dog clients, so it was super nice to spend some time with these ladies and be in a familiar home 🩷

•(photos 4 and 5) Spent the weekend with Benjamin Z Pug (fawn pug) and his friends Franklin (black pug) and Sadie (husky). We enjoyed an evening walk under the full moon and lots of snuggle time on the couch… in typical pug fashion LOL

•(photos 6 and 7) Drop-ins with Casey (photo 7) and Dennis (photo 6). Look at those smiles!! I’ve been watching these pups for almost two years now and it’s always the highlight of my week when I get to spend it with them.

•(photo 8) Drop-ins with Yodie the kitty! Yodie is usually timid around strangers, and considering I haven’t checked in on her in a few months, I thought we’d be back to square one together. To my surprise she remembered me, and she let me give her all of the head scratches and lovings! Yodie also requires oral medication administration, which adds another fun layer to our relationship 😆 Luckily she is quick to forgive after I give her yucky tasting meds.

•(photo 9) An hour long drop-in with Lucy. This was my second time checking in on this cutie, and it has rained both times 😅 Thankfully Lucy was a good girl and still pottied in the weather.

Excited for another fun week ahead doing my dream job 🥰

‼️Availability reminder: I am up north and completely unavailable August 1-11

07/15/2024

Photo dump day!! 🥳 I hope everyone is having a great summer! I can’t believe it’s mid-July already… time really is flying. I’m having the best summer filled with furry friends 🐾

Recap:
•(photos 1, 2) Spent a good portion of the week with Clio! I was just with Clio a few weeks ago, but it was great to see her again 🩷

•(photo 3) Drop-in with sweet Lucy girl! This was my first time checking in on her and it couldn’t have gone better. She’s such a little lover 🥰

•(photo 4) Finished two weeks of drop-ins with Dante. This sweet kitty was very chatty and greeted me at the door every drop-in — precious!

•(photo 5, 6) Two hour long drop-in with Remi (photo 5) and Laney (photo 6). I fed the pups dinner, we hung out together, and had some outside time in the sun too!

‼️Check out my previous post regarding future availability ◡̈

07/11/2024

🚨I am on vacation the first half of August, so no services will be provided.
🚨Additionally, I will be up north with little to no cell service, and I will not be responding to messages/inquiries during the dates listed.
💚Thank you for your patience and allowing me to take some time away!

‼️I am putting a hold on new clients until I am back from vacation. The rest of July is pretty full, so I am lacking space and time for meet and greets/other last minute bookings. I’ll be accepting new clients/bookings for any dates after August 12, so feel welcome to reach out if this applies to you!
🔁To my repeat clients: Shoot me a text if you need me and I can probably fit you in! Overnight care is pretty full between now and the end of the month, but I have some room to squeeze in drop-ins.

💚Thanks in advance for your understanding! It’s just me running this whole shebang, and I need to prioritize and save energy to give my currently booked clients my full attention. It’s been a wild summer, and I’m so grateful for everyone trusting me with their homes and pets. I really am so lucky to call this my job!

Fourth of July week photo dump 🇺🇸🐾 It was a busy week, but so much fun caring for all of these critters.

Recap of SOME of my work this week:
•(photo 1): Drop-ins with Zoe and Archie. Checked in on these cuties a couple times a day for a few days. They spent our drop-in time sniffing around their backyard, eating dinner/breakfast, and playing with each other 😆

•(photos 2-3): More drop-ins with Zelda (bearded dragon), Rumple (white bunny) and Iris (black bunny). It was so nice to see these guys again!

•(photos 4-7): A house sitting for Norman (beagle), Pippa (black dog), Fern (brown tabby), Calvin (black and white kitty), guinea pigs (photo 7), and chickens (not pictured). I had the best time getting to know all of these new faces!

🎆🇺🇸 I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday!

Thank you for your patience if I was slow to respond to any messages this past week, and thank you to anyone who used my pet sitting services for their Fourth of July vacations 🥹💚🐾

07/01/2024

Happy Monday photo dump day! Done with my 15 day stretch of dog sitting, so it was nice to sleep in my own bed last night 😅 I am back to house sitting tonight, and have a busy week with around 30 drop-in visits!! If I am slow to respond to booking requests or other questions, bare with me please 💚

Recap:
•(photos 1-6) Spent an entire week with Coco (small) and Astro (big)! I’ve watched Coco previously, but Astro is a newer member to the family. It was so nice to see an old friend again and get to know her new little (big) brother. We spent the week doing enrichment puzzles and snuggling on the couch 🥹

•(photos 7-8) Spent the weekend with Wilha (brown) and Jag (black). They’re the cutest pups! We played TONS of fetch during our time together 🎾

Have a happy and safe holiday this week! 🇺🇸🐾

06/30/2024

Some more stolen graphics, but with all of the fireworks surrounding the 4th of July, it is extra important to keep your pets calm and safe 💚

06/24/2024

Currently on night 7 of 15 in a row for house sitting. I try to give myself a few nights a month to sleep in my own bed, but these long stretches fly right by — especially when I have the cutest pets to keep me busy 😅

It’s Monday, so that means another photo dump!!

Recap:
•(photos 1-2) Spent a few nights with Clio! It’s always a good week when I get to see her 🩷

•(photos 3-5) Finished up my week of drop-ins with Zelda (bearded dragon), Iris (black bunny) and Rumple (white bunny). Dropping in with them was the highlight of my day!

‼️Check out my previous posts for availability!

06/19/2024

🇺🇸‼️ I am fully booked the week of Fourth of July for all pet sitting services ‼️🇺🇸

I MAY be able to squeeze in a drop-in or two here and there depending on location/time of drop-in. Looking forward to a busy week with all sorts of furry friends 🐾🥰

06/18/2024

I stole these graphics LOL, but they all have very useful information!!
Keep your furry friends cool, hydrated, and safe. This is especially important during the heat wave this week ☀️

06/17/2024

Happy Monday (again)!! Monday seems to be my photo-dump day 😆

Recap:
•(photos 1-2) Spent a few nights caring for Shiloh (pup) and Piper (cat). Shiloh enjoys long sniffy walks. She’s an “independent lady” and likes to do her own thing with the comfort of someone looking after her/meeting her needs. Piper is a sweetheart who loves belly scratches 🩷

•(photo 3) Finished my weekly drop-ins with Max! For the last three weeks, I’ve been dropping in to feed Max lunch, go for a walk, and have some snuggle time while his owner trained for her new job. I’m going to miss seeing him everyday!

•(photos 4-5) Doing daily drop-ins with Zelda (bearded dragon), Rumple (bunny), and Iris (not pictured bunny). It’s nice to care for some critters that aren’t dogs or cats 😆 More photos of these guys to come in a future post!

‼️The remainder of June is full for overnight care. July and August are mostly full too
‼️Drop-ins for the week of 4th of July are pretty booked. Message me to see if I can squeeze you in ◡̈

06/10/2024

Photo dump time 🥳

Recap:
•(photos 1-4) I got to spend a couple nights with Cooper (golden), Wonder (lab), and Nubs (kitty)! I’ve dropped in on these boys many times, so it was so nice to spend a few days with them and really see their personalities come out. They’re the cutest trio!

•(photos 5 and 6) Still doing my drop-ins with Max! It’s been nice to break up my day with him and go for a walk.

•(photo 7) A drop-in with Clio the Great Dane! She’s always happy to see me for my monthly visits. We played lots of fetch together.

•(photo 8) An hour long drop-in with Rolo, Rosco, and Sadie! Walking three dogs at once is a skill LOL

Another busy week ahead with some more house sitting and drop-in visits! Have a great week everyone 💚

Friends from Memorial Day weekend!

Recap:
•(photos 1-3) Spent the night with the cutest little puggy! Ben was such a good boy for me. I have the biggest soft spot for pugs, so looking after Ben was such a blast for me! He also has a page if anyone wants to check him out: Benjamin Z Pug 💚

•(photos 4 and 5) An hour long drop-in with Rocco, Sadie, and Rolo. Checked in on these pups, fed them dinner, walked outside, and played for the remainder of our time together!

•(photos 6-8) An hour long drop-in with Cooper, Wonder, and Nubs. Popped in to feed doggies dinner, potty break, and play time! Cooper could play fetch for hours — he’s got the best smile 😆

•(photo 9) Another hour long drop-in/walk with Max! I stayed with Max for three weeks over Christmas, so it was so nice to see him again ◡̈ I fed Max lunch, and we went on a walk together. I’ll be dropping in on him a few times a week for the next few weeks!

05/24/2024

Just a heads up: I am heading out of town and unavailable the second half of next week 💚

‼️I am still available all of this weekend (Memorial Day) for drop-ins/walking, and Friday, Saturday, and Monday for house sitting‼️

05/23/2024

As I mentioned in my (re)introduction post — I really am a lover to all animals! I thought I’d do a little photo dump/overview of my experience and upbringing to give more insight about me 💚

🐴I grew up riding horses and doing 4-H for 12 years. Aside from teaching me many valuable life lessons, 4-H exposed me to lots of different farm animals. I’ve been around and cared for goats, cows, chickens, pigs, donkeys, etc..

💉💊My childhood dog was a little pug named Cookie. She developed diabetes in her senior years and required shots of insulin. This gave me experience administering medicine, which is a skill I often use today!

🐰Although I have hardly any photos of rodents, I have cared for guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and chinchillas. I had gerbils when I was younger which also helped me learn about these types of pets.

🦎Also growing up, we had a pet bearded dragon. She has recently passed away, but I have no problem feeding or handling reptiles. I’m also a frequent turtle crosser LOL

🐾Last but not least, I am not breed selective! I will never turn away a potential pet sitting based solely on breed stereotypes. I have experience with many pets and breeds, and do not base a pets’ personality or characteristics around their breed.

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning a bit about me (and enjoyed looking at photos of young me 😅). I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and it really has given me such a passion for pet sitting! ✨💚

05/20/2024

👋🏼Hi! I am Kali of Kali’s Pet Sitting Services.🐾

I am an in-home pet sitter based in Lowell, Michigan. I specialize in house sitting, but I also provide drop-in visits and dog walking. No need to remove your pets from the comfort and familiarity of home because I come to you!

💚Whether I’m spending the night or popping in for a quick potty break, your pets will be given my undivided love and attention. My goal is to build a connection with your pets, and become their new best friend for the time you’re away! Being away from your pets can be hard on them (and you). I strive to have excellent communication by sending frequent updates with photos. This allows for some peace of mind while you’re away from home!

⭐️I’ve been professionally pet sitting for about two years now, but have been watching pets for friends and family for six years. I have experience with anxious, elderly, and special needs pets. Additionally, I rode horses and did 4-H for 12 years and can care for farm life. My patience and calm demeanor is perfect for nervous/shy kitties. I also have experience with rodents and reptiles. I really am a lover of all animals!

✉️Check out my Rover profile (linked on my page) for over 50 five star reviews. Contact info and more information can be found linked on my page, too. I have many posts with clients and more details about my services, so make sure to check those out. My PMs are always open — send me a message to see if I’m the right sitter for you! 🐾

05/20/2024

A weekend spent with Porter is always a good weekend! I think this was my sixth or seventh time staying overnight with Porter. He loves snuggling on the couch and sniffing around his backyard 🐾💚

‼️Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I’m available for drop-ins/walking and dog sitting. Check out my previous posts for a special discount‼️

05/14/2024

I’ve worked with many different animals during my years house sitting. Each pet is different and has their own special needs that need to be met, and I strive to make pets as comfortable as possible during my time with them. 💚
I have experience with special needs and elderly pets who often require medicine administration. Additionally, I’ve been told frequently that my calm demeanor helps anxious pets. If you have any questions about my experience/what I’m comfortable doing for your pets, please don’t hesitate to reach out!!

05/13/2024

Just finished a week long house sitting with this pretty lady! Rowan enjoys her daily walks, snuggles on the couch, and watching Jeopardy 😆 She’s the sweetest pup, and we had the best time together, so saying goodbye yesterday was hard!

‼️As a reminder, I had some May/June dates open back up. Check out my previous post for more information and a special discount‼️
