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, playing, popping in to check on your fur baby (or babies), or walking to keep them happy (because honestly, I love it too)! No pet is too big or small!! I will love on & spoil your fur babies like they are my own!! 🫶🏼 This isn’t “just a job” to me, your fur babies are part of your family, and I want you to be able to enjoy your trip (or what ever else is keeping you away from home) without having the stress worrying if your pets are fed & safe! & I will always communicate with you if anything should arise! 🫶🏼 I have flexible availability to meet your needs! Pick Me, Choose Me, Use Me as your Pet Sitter! I work full time Monday-Friday, but still able to have flexibility in the mornings and evenings! The kids are school aged and don’t require my full attention when they’re in school. 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: 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: 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’m a true animal lover who’s been around pets my whole life! With 3 years of experience working at a pet boarding company, as well as dogs and cats of my own, I’ve cared for all types of animals. I love meeting new pets and can provide personalized care that works best for them and you! As a college student at GVSU studying elementary education, I bring a gentle, patient approach to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra love, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I will send plenty of updates while your fur baby is in my care and treat them as my own. I'm more than willing to provide references! check out my dog-walking adventures on Instagram: stroll_with_sarah. I am currently nannying for the summer, but very available for walking, drop ins, and dog sitting. I'm home for the summer in grand haven and would love to help with your pet care needs! I offer drop-in visits at my clients' homes, where I focus on providing a safe and loving environment for their pets. During these visits, I may feed, let the dog outside, play, or provide any other care your pet needs to stay happy and healthy. While I don’t offer care in my own home, I ensure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own familiar space.

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 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!
