We want the best for our furry friends, but DIYs for dogs and cats are often the more affordable - and fun - choice. There are plenty of clever DIY pet projects you can try to enrich your pets' lives without breaking the bank.
Give your cat a front-row seat to all the action outside your window by building a simple DIY cat perch. Using wood and some basic carpentry skills, create a wall shelf to extend the width of the windowsill.
Add a cozy Sherpa layer or a custom foam pillow on top so your cat has a comfy place to enjoy the view.
If you have an awkwardly sized or unused wall nook under the stairs or elsewhere in your home, some simple upgrades can make it a comfy dog nook.
Don't have a built-in space? Create a nook by using an oversized end-table or crate-style shelving. Add a dog bed and some of your pooch's favorite toys for a cozy and inviting spot for them to relax.
Cats love nestling into small, cozy spaces, so what could be better than creating a comfortable hideaway with old T-shirts and other household items? Build a DIY tent for your cat by cutting and re-shaping metal hangers into arches and stretching a T-shirt or other fabric over the top.
Do you need a dedicated storage space for your dog's many toys? Use old pallet wood or simple wooden crates to make a special box for dog toys. Line the inside with fabric to prevent losing smaller items between the empty slats, and add a cute, custom name plate for the front.
There are plenty of pet crafts for simplifying and organizing your pet's food and drinking spot. Create a DIY food station for food and water bowls to better integrate them into the style of your home.

I have called Southwest Michigan home for 40 years. My mother's family ran a local locksmith service, and my father served as the Chief Investigator for the County's Prosecutor and Director of Security for the Whirlpool Corporation office for many years. I love all that this area offers, and I enjoy serving the buyers and sellers who are moving in or out of
Southwest Michigan.
My wife and I have two children, and we would not want to raise them anywhere else. Between the award-winning schools and the plethora of youth activities available in Southwest Michigan, it's a great place to call home. We enjoy spending time with friends at the beach, boating, golfing, hunting, skiing in the North, and fishing.
I give back to the community that has been so good to us. Currently, I serve on the Lakeshore Public Schools Foundation Board (LEF), as Past President of the St. Joe Kickers Sports Club, and as a Rotarian in the Stevensville-Lakeshore Rotary
Club. We donate throughout the year to various local organizations, schools, Fine Arts Programs, and youth sports groups.
I want to leverage my experience and knowledge to benefit you. I have sold over 700 properties and earned the respect of my fellow REALTORS, who have voted me "REALTOR of the Year." I am confident I can earn your trust as well.
Looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate? Allow me to serve you, and I promise you will not be disappointed.
