About: I have had plenty of house sitting experience and I used to work at a dog daycare/boarding facility for 2 1/2 years:) I am also pet CPR certified! I have a cat of my own right now, but I grew up in a home with both a cat and a dog at all times :) I have experience making time for an animal in my daily routine! I am always up to bring your dog for a walk or ride while I stay! I love to play fetch with dogs as well!

About: I love animals!! I grew up with dogs and cats (and occasionally a rodent or 2)! I would be honored to be able to help you by feeding, popping in to check your furry friend, or walking to keep your pet happy! I have flexible availability to meet your needs! I work full time, 3 days a week! The kids are school aged and don’t require my full attention when they’re in school. My off days are usually low key that I am available for pet care! In my home, I’d keep your pet leashed in the yard to let out. In your home, depending on what you request, I’d follow that process.

About: Dogs and cats have always liked me since I was little. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats and I have taken care of animals all my life. I'm currently working part time so I have a wide availability including the weekends to take care of your pets. I also am very flexible with my schedule. I am very careful with homely belongings and focus on keeping your pet safe and well entertained. They will be getting the best care in my hands.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets of my own and have pet sit many times for my family and friends in the past. I’m happy to feed, walk, bathe, play and pamper any furry friend I meet. I am very patient and comfortable around any dog or cat. I would be more than happy to go to your home to take care of him/her. I live permanently near the Grand Valley State University campus. I have LOTS of free time as I’m currently taking a gap year. I own my own car and am more than willing to travel a fair distance for my job. I have a 5 month old lab/retriever mix at home who is generally very calm and friendly with kids, dogs and cats. We love walks and naps and playing tug of war with his rope duck 😋 I will give your pup (or kitty, we don’t discriminate lol) the same love and attention I’d give my Mocha at home.

About: I have always had dogs in my life from the time I was born from now, my family back home, we have a yellow lab names Maya. My brother and I trained Maya during her puppy years, and we rescued our previous dog, who lived to see 15! I have just graduated from GVSU and am currently working resource at a hospital. I will have plenty of time to care for and walk your pups! I will keep my eyes on your fur baby while they are in my care. There’s nothing worse than trusting a sitter and something goes sideways - I will prevent that!

About: I am a junior at GVSU and am looking for a few shifts a week. I have experience in home visits for cats and dogs, dog walking, and overnight visits. Due to my school/work schedule, I will be available Monday-Friday’s anytime before 2pm! Open to weekends as well, I’m very flexible with those times and will try my best to meet your needs! I have experience in dog walking and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. I prefer to know where food, leashes, etc are located as well as your pets feeding schedule prior to my first visit.

About: I have always had a love for dogs. They always end up being my best friend, no matter whose dog it is. I love all dog ages, breeds and genders! Hello! As a senior at GVSU, I’ve balanced a busy academic life with my true passion—caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it's early-morning walks, playtime in the park, or quiet evenings with a senior pup, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every dog I meet. With a flexible schedule and years of hands-on experience dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Let me treat your dog like one of my own! 🐶💛 I currently work full time but I’m still very flexible with everything! Once school starts, availability changes but I’m still super flexible so please reach out just in case!! I live away from home from my own pups so it’s always a breath of fresh air getting to hang with pups!! I live in an apartment at GV with 3 other college girls, so I will not be taking any pets in. I can definitely walk dogs and maybe even watch them in your own household! I want to provide genuine care for you pups! I provide long walks, play time, snuggle time and really just quality time. I have never had a complaint about how I care for animals!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family friends and neighbors for about 5 years now. And took care of my old dog for about 16 years I can stop by before work, during breaks, and after work.

About: emergency management skills in a clear, grounded way: I’ve had dogs my whole life and also had a pet snake and fish of my own. I worked for a family friend’s in-home pet sitting service for several years, caring for a variety of animals with different routines and needs. I also have experience working in childcare, which taught me how to stay calm and focused in emergencies. With that background, I'm comfortable responding quickly and responsibly if anything unexpected comes up while caring for pets. I’m happy to do drop-ins up to three times a day, any day of the week. I can also offer overnights and more frequent or extended visits, but those will need to be arranged in advance depending on your needs. I’m a student with a part-time job, but my schedule is flexible enough to allow for daily visits and consistent care. I'm always willing to accommodate a pet’s needs to the best of my ability. As a cat mom, I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets. Trust and clear communication matter. I want to fully understand what you're looking for so I can give your pet the care they deserve. Drop-ins can include whatever is needed—walks, feeding, litter scooping, medication—as long as it's clearly discussed and reasonable. Every client’s needs are different, and I’ll always do my best to meet you where you’re at.

Matthew B.
“Matthew is the best! We needed to be away from home for several hours for work and did not want to send the dogs to daycare, so I asked Matthew to come and watch the dogs for a few hours. We have two very active, and needy, fur-babies. One of them is extremely outgoing and loves people...the other one, not so much. He's not mean, he's just shy and doesn't go up to people right away. But when Matthew walked in the door, for some reason my shy one ran to him and just showed so much love! I was shocked! Matthew did an incredible job walking them, playing with them and getting them nice and tired for when we got home that day. He took tons of pictures and kept sending them to us to show that they were having a great time. He even took them to the dog park for us! My fur-babies LOVE Matthew! He was great with them and we can't wait to use Matthew again!”
