Cat Sitting in Allendale

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.

About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!

“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

About: I grew up with lots of pets from horses and chickens to dogs and cats, we always had someone to keep company. I took much of this responsibility as it’s fun to spend time with the animals! I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel called Anderson Creek Kennel in Ludington, Mi for 4 years and loved every second I got to spend with the fur babies. I’m currently working part time during the week with 6 hour shifts as my longest. I’m free most weekends and would love to provide animal care in the mornings, evenings, or weekends I have a large vehicle that can hold animals of a variety of sizes to get them to parks or wherever they need to go!

About: I was a Kennel Technician at a general practice animal hospital for 3 years and have been working at an emergency animal hospital since September 2024. I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, and even exotics. I have 2 cats, a turtle and a family dog, and I have had birds and reptiles, so I love all kinds of animals. I have taken care of puppies/kittens, senior animals, and all in between. I am trained in administering prescribed medications, including insulin. I go to GVSU and would love to help take care of animals in my free time! I am currently a student at GVSU and live in the area. I work part-time at an emergency animal hospital, but I would love to help take care of the animals in my community in my free time. In the past, I have dog-sat very anxious animals. I like to give them their space at first, letting them get comfortable with me being in their home. I understand it is very difficult for them to have a stranger coming into their territory, so I like to announce myself when I come in and use words and cues they would know. I also find it important that I make myself seem as least threatening as possible and let them get comfortable at their own pace.

“Appreciate you taking care of Leo”

Christine T.

“Megan was incredible. She came on time and went above and beyond expectation. She took very detailed notes and took nearly 30 photos that were published to the app as soon as she finished up. All three dogs were healthy and energetic when we arrived back home. When we take another trip, she will be welcome back.”

Austen K.

“Ashley was willing to come and take care of Hutch on short notice which I really appreciate. Hutch was well cared for and enjoyed his playtime.”

Vicki L.

“Christine is wonderful to work with! Very friendly, calm, and caring with pets. She communicates regularly and sends photos to us while we’re away! We know our four-legged family members are in good hands!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I’m patient, attentive, and I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet! I work part time and have a hybrid school schedule, this gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I keep an active lifestyle which means lots of walks and playtime for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work in the mornings. I am usually free after 3 and early mornings. I have plenty of free time now that it is summer. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can run. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.

About: Current Availability: Monday-Friday: 3pm-9pm, perfect for 2nd Shifters! I also offer overnights as "daycare"! Weekends: Open Availability. I have been a pet owner and lover for the last 30+ years with most of my experience with dogs, cats, and horses. My experience includes all species of household pets (limited experience in reptile care), livestock, and most birds. I have had cats my whole life and have rescued, fostered, and even hand-raised kittens. I do not discriminate based on breed so your pitty-pals and other "aggressive" labeled dog breeds are welcome. ❗IMPORTANT: I require a Meet & Greet with every animal I care for. This is a personal as well as professional preference to ensure safety and quality of care for the animal. I do NOT do sudden drop-offs so please plan ahead to ensure you have time to schedule a M&G before service starts.❗ I'm currently working full-time Monday thru Friday 5 am-2 pm in Kentwood, MI. Depending on your location, I can be available for walks or drop ins as early as 2:15 pm. I will only board one dog at a time, and up to two cats. Boarded cats will be kept in a separate bedroom away from my own to ease stress. Long-term boarding for all animals may be possible and considered on an individual basis. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats in the home. Both dogs are females, one spayed (rescue) and one who remains intact with plans to spay July 2026 when she is 2. I do not have a fenced in yard so boarded dogs will have to be on a leash or 20ft. longline (not tie-out) while outside. I'm in a community offset from major roads that allows me to walk dogs safely and I live only a few miles from Grand Ravines Dog Park. I am planning on adding a few Sniffspots that I can utilize if preferred.

“Super friendly and my puppers seemed to love him!! Thank you so much!!”
