Dog Sitting Ada

About: I have taken care of and walked dogs professionally for 6 years while also owning 4 corgis and a terrier over the span 26 years I am a working professional musician with lots of free time in the morning hours; while also having a flexible schedule that can fit in! I take my dogs on plenty of walks with balanced play time and measured meals. Matching the needs of each dog is my main priority.

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and you will often find me loving on the dog at gatherings that include a pup. I tend to be the type of person that animals and children gravitate towards! I grew up with a dog that I certainly considered to be my baby, as I had him for 17 years, and definitely treat other dogs with as much love and respect as I treated him. I would love to care for your dog and give them the love they need while you are away. I now have a small dog of my own (my child!), so I do prefer that your dog(s) is vaccinated and good with other puppies/dogs. I want this to be the best and most fun experience for both pups and myself! Currently, I work remote so I am home most of the day during the workday (which is much preferred for my dog!). I am also available for quick visits to your home in the morning, a quick visit throughout the day if needed, and then after work. I could spend more time with your pup(s) as needed on weekends that I am available. Given that I work from home, I am there more often than not to provide the most attention for your furbaby! This would certainly involve loving on your pet, of course feeding and giving them water, playtime, short walks, etc. I treat all pets as if they were my own!

About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable animal lover who has had dogs my whole life and has experience owning and caring for a puppy. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for animals. I believe in treating every pet like family by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules and individual needs, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for, comfortable, and right at home! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I can work with pet owners to accommodate their pets’ routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important consistency and attention are for animals, and I’m happy to make their comfort and well-being a priority. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owner is away! I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own and have had dogs my whole life, so I understand the importance of providing animals with love, attention, and proper care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will respect their space, follow the owner’s instructions, and maintain their pets’ usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I’ll also be mindful of doors, gates, and anything that could be unsafe for them. I believe trust and communication are important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to keep owners informed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away!

About: Hi! I am a junior at GVSU studying Radiation Therapy. I have pet sat and dog walked for family and friends for years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from nervous chihuahuas to chunky Rottweilers! I’ve also cared for many cat personalities too. I’ve volunteered at West Michigan humane society in the cat and small animals department. I also have a love for reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 five year old Guinea pig girls, and my roommate has a Russian tortoise! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, fostering and adopting dogs, taking in barn cats, a few pet fish, and having a leopard gecko for 10+ years. I have a lot of time available, and would love to assist your family! As a busy college student- I actually have plenty of time to stay in someone’s home as I can study! I have scheduled classes 10am-3pm Tues, Wed, and Noon-2pm Thurs. I can be flexible depending on your needs. When caring for an animal in a clients home I want to understand the animals personality, needs, and quirks. I love playing with animals, giving them affection, or just being in their presence. I make sure your pet/s have plenty bathroom breaks, constant clean water, fed at appropriate times, and feel loved. I’m happy to abide by oddly specific instructions, my own animals require some silly requests :-) Every animal has different levels of trust, and I am always patient to gain that trust and not expect it. Your pets won’t be bored or lonely, I’m happy to keep them entertained!

“Pam is always so great with Bella and has been very understanding when my booking details needed to be changed. I would highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.”

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

About: Each and every dog is treated like our own. We adore being able to share the love with our borrowed fur babies. Weather permitting the dogs are taken on two longer walks with as many potty breaks as needed between walks. Please let us know any special needs your friend may have and where your fur baby prefers to sleep. I work from home so the work breaks that caring for the dogs(whether it be feeding, walking or just playing) are welcome. Most always there is a dog laying at my feet while I work keeping me company. I have a multi level house with plenty of space for the dogs. They can find their place to sprawl out to nap, find a good place to roughhouse, or do a good session of rope pulling or ball toss I also have a very large fenced in deck to allow them to get some fresh air, play or sit by a fire at night with us

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school and had my first dog, Charlie. I’ve watched dogs overnight with me and I’d love to watch your dogs during the day. Over the weekends. I’m available and in the afternoons and evenings I’m available after 4. I’d mostly like to walk dogs but I could house sit on a long weekend. I would love to take your dogs for walks throughout your neighborhood or mine! I am also happy to stay and keep your dog company while you are out and about.

About: I have Two dogs of my own (shared custody) and have had dogs my entire life. As of the past few years I have house and pet sat for my friends, coworkers and family and have really enjoyed it! I work 10 minutes from my home, so going back and forth isn’t an issue so I’m able to do frequent potty breaks and walks throughout the day. There are plenty of walking areas around me that are safe and accessible as well as a park right down the street. My apartment is very large and very pet friendly!
