“Max The Pug had a great time with Matthew!”
“Alyssa did a great job caring for our pup while we were away. She was flexible and dependable. Hutch loved having company to visit and play with him while we were gone. She did everything we asked of her perfectly and even went beyond our requests. I love the pictures she sent and the reports.”
About: While I’m still gaining hands-on experience, my love for dogs runs deep—and nothing makes my evening walks better than having a furry companion by my side! I’ve dog-sat a couple of times and have experience walking pups, including some that were a bit reactive (though I prefer calmer dogs now). I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll at sunset or a rigorous walk to get some energy out, I’ll treat your dog like family. I’m currently working full time, however I walk almost every evening, I’m willing to travel a bit to ensure your dog gets the walk they need! I’m available Sunday afternoons as well, and the occasional weekend:) I’m willing to travel to walk your dog, and will ensure safety during the walk. For more energetic dogs I can keep a fast pace, and for more curious dogs I can take my time and let them explore the route we take. Dog safety is a top concern!
“Natalie is great! She was so good with my new Shih Tzu pup. Played and snuggled with him.”
“Very nice and good with our dogs!”
“Christen, we really appreciate that you were able to come out to take care of our cat, Momo - especially with short notice. Thank you so much for caring for her!”
About: All dogs and cats are welcome in my home! I have a fenced in yard perfect for your pet to run around, play and get some fresh air. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages and can accommodate any needs they may require during their stay. I have a cat only home so it’s perfect for dogs who are shy or may need more attention. Caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy making sure my pets are safe and comfortable. I love incorporating walks, cuddle time and attention into my day. I have a fenced in backyard with only one neighbor which allows for a safe and private environment for your pet. I also have a spacious home for your pet to roam.
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 loved animals ever since I can remember. Seeing any animal/pet beings a joy to my day. I’ve loved being able to volunteer at different Humane Societies across Michigan, and look to adopt very soon! My schedule is super flexible, so you will not have any worries about myself being able to meet up with your pups or cats. My schedule changes weekly, so I am able to always make valuable time for your animals!! There is a fenced in area here, and many places I am able to walk/drive to to be able to take out your animals for whatever they need!
“Kourtney took great care of our cats for a week doing drop in visits with them. They looked happy in the photos she shared and were happy for a visitor while we were gone! Their litter & food areas were tidy and she was very communicative.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 3 years every summer for my friends. They had many dogs and cats so i’m used to a busy house with plenty of health instructions for them! I have a lot of work experience working with disabilities and at-home health care! Although this was for humans I have plenty of experience working in daily care and managing timely tasks to maintain safety and comfort for all! I am currently online training for my work, specifically for the rest of may so I will have plenty of time this month to hang out with your pets! I also have a lot of free time and stay in my neighborhood so I will never be too far when i’m not home! I live in a townhome with my 3 roommates who also love dogs. I have the largest room in the house the pet is welcome to stay in, with no hazardous items they could get into. I also have a large downstairs and outside space to take them outside and on walks.
About: I’ve pretty much gotten all of my experience from watching and taking care of my own dog. I’ve grown up learning all the necessary steps to take care of him! I’m currently a full time student at GVSU! I also have a part time job. I would typically have more time in the afternoons/evenings as well as weekends. I really want to make sure that every pet in my home or client’s home is well taken care of in a safe and loving environment.
“Lily was prompt with her responses regarding scheduling when I needed help with short notice! She made sure to receive instruction from me and did so well with my pup <3”
About: I’ve lived with a wide variety of dogs and cats my whole life, from American Pit Bull Terriers and Rottweilers to Chihuahuas, and Pugs, so I’m confident handling all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Caring for animals is second nature to me. Currently, I share my home with an American Shorthair cat, so pet care is already part of my everyday routine, from morning cuddles to evening playtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. If it's feeding, walks, playtime, or medications, I stick to what they're used to and give them lots of love and attention.
“Reagan was amazing! She always gave pet updates with pictures for every visit. Easy to communicate any potential issues or answer questions. Seems like my fur baby Nikko took very well to Reagan. First time for me using Rover and was very happy with the entire process.”

I can do anything and everything it takes to care for your fur babies! They will always have a wagging tail!
About: Dog are my passion! I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my whole life. I currently have three large dogs so I know how to handle big, energetic, goofball dogs. I recently worked at a doggy day care, so I know how to look for body language in dogs and know when they are scared or uncomfortable or just want to play. I go above + beyond for you and your dog every time and love them like my own! I currently work at an elementary school, so I have all day after 4pm to or before 8am to care for your fur babies. For the weekdays, I am available all day. I can also do overnights any day of the week. I am open for long term set schedule or, same day walks/drop-ins. I am gladly able to be flexible to for your needs. I am not currently able to care for pets in my home right now. I have watched dogs in clients home for many years. Dogs are much more comfortable staying at their own home when their owners are gone rather than daycare. You can expect to come back to a clean house every time!

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!”
