Pet Sitting Allendale

“Katie was great! She was very responsive and helped keep us at ease while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond for us while we were away. We had a building fire next door and she came over that night to check and make sure our cat was fine. I can not recommend Katie enough!!”

About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, as my grandparents were true animal lovers. They had everything from chimpanzees and Great Danes to goats, so my love for animals has always been in my blood. I also raised my own Wheaten Terrier for 16 years, and after recently losing him, I’ve really been missing the companionship and love that comes with having a dog around. While this is a job, it feels like so much more to me. It’s an opportunity to have that companionship again while giving your pup the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals, and they seem to feel that connection with me too! I like to meet with owners beforehand so you can get to know me and feel comfortable trusting me with your fur baby. It also gives me a chance to get to know your pup and start building a relationship with them. I am available for at home visits and walks. I currently have availability any weekday at any time. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. My Wheaten Terrier had breathing attacks and seizures towards the end of his life. I am in tune with how to provide care under these circumstances. I will treat your dogs as if they are my own and shower them with love. I am also happy to help with special needs animals. I will provide updates/videos during the time of caring for your pup.

“Alexa was such a god send. Really helped me out with last minute changes i had and I'm always happy Duke is in good hands. Thank you Alexa Youre the best !!”

“We went away from Mon-Friday and left our Riley with Maria! She was wonderful! We were so hesitant since it was our first time leaving her with anyone besides family but from start to finiSh it was a great experience! Maria gave us constant updates and sent so many pictures! We relaxed after day 2 knowing Riley was in good hands! We highly recommend Maria and will definitely be calling again! Annette”

“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”

“Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!”

“We recently had Joe take care of our cat, Toby, for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was excellent. Joe sent regular updates, photos, and videos so we could see how Toby was doing each day. Toby can be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to Joe quickly, which says a lot. It was clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. The house was spotless when we returned, and everything was just as we left it. We really appreciated the attention to detail, the affection shown to Toby, and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Joe again for our next trip — highly recommend!”

“Megan was wonderful! She was very attentive to our dog’s needs and sent thorough reports and lots of pictures! We would 100% trust her to watch our furbaby again! :)”

“Lisbeth did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. She was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her about any concerns or questions I had regarding my cat. I'd definitely book her again if I go away again.”

About: I am a well-rounded professional with experience in veterinary care, pet sitting, fostering, as well as owning and caring for various animals since I was very young I am available in the evenings during the week for pet care and on Saturdays after 2pm for drop ins and various pet care visits. I am happy and honored to care for all of these pets as if they were my own. I am passionate about providing a safe and compassionate experience.

“Tatiana was wonderful with my cats and would definitely get her to sit them again. She's very diligent, thorough, and reliable. She goes beyond what is expected of her. Always sent very good pictures, videos, and summary of her time spent with my kitties.”

Ankit R.

“We can not say enough how much we appreciate Joseph. He was able to get our anxious dog to fully accept him as a friend when 99.9% of people can’t touch her. She was giving him paw and was super excited to see him! The other amazing part is one of our cats came out to see him and let Joseph pet her! No one believes we have this cat since she hides from EVERYONE! Joseph is extremely reliable and wonderful with all our pets. People would be crazy not to hire him to take care of their pets.”

“Christina is the best!! So reliable and my puppy loves her!”

Damien D.

“This was my first time trying Rover & I’m extremely pleased?. Cynthia took the time to come & meet Blue and he loved her from the start. That made me very at ease because I was leaving the country for 9 days & he's never been left alone or with other ppl. She followed all instructions given & sent a video of him after each visit. He was his normal self & displayed no signs of anxiety ??. I will definitely be using Cynthia again for ALL upcoming vacations. ❤️”

About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! My wife and I both work full time out of the house (I’m in the office four days a week and work from home on Friday), and our kids are in school, so I am available Friday, Saturday and Sunday and over holiday weekends. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog, so your dog will be housed safely, and will have a four-legged friend to play with. I take my dog on frequent walks and would be excited to take yours along with us.

About: Thank you for stopping by my profile! Let's get to know each other. Please read through my profile and hopefully it will answer any questions you may have about my service! Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which includes pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! Fun stay for your dog while you are away! Welcome! I am so happy you’re considering my home for your furry family member. I am a loving pet owner with a genuine passion for animals, and believe that when your dog stays with me, they should feel like they’re on vacation—a fun, staycation away from home! I have a senior dog called Texas who is a little sheriff around here! She likes to watch the scene as it makes her feel like part of the action. At nearly 18 years old, she is still going strong and wants to just do doggy things! By having other dogs around, it keeps her active and mentally stimulated. My home is a warm, clean and comfortable space. I offer lots of attention, affection and fun! WHY DOGS LOVE STAYING WITH ME I provide a safe home environment where dogs become part of the daily lives of my family. Your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. Because I spend so much time at home, your dog won’t simply be dropped off and left alone for long periods. They’ll be part of the action! Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know each guest and their unique personality, routine, and preferences. I have a lot of experience with many different breeds of dogs. We like to think of our dogs as perfect but they all have that little things they do! I know their quirks (I see you counter surfers!) and emotional needs (I see you doodles!) It is very helpful to know all about your pet before they arrive here for their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, loves long walks, enjoys making new friends, or would rather curl up for a cozy nap. Also, if they eat tissues, or garbage dip or counter surf? We can accommodate all different personalities with proper notice. Not everyone is perfect! I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and happy. We can also discuss at quick 15 minute meet and greet which is required for any boardings with me. For first time guests on longer stays over 7 days, an overnight experience is required. (Exceptions can made for out of town guests or emergencies!) A TYPICAL DAY A stay with me includes plenty of opportunities for: * Outdoor potty breaks and fresh air * Playtime and enrichment * Walks and exercise * Relaxation and cozy nap time * One-on-one attention * Plenty of cuddles and affection * Supervised social time with other compatible dogs Drop-offs can be a range of emotions for your dog- from excited, to curious to overwhelm as they enter a new situation. I have guided even the most frightened dog to love coming to my home! I love seeing each dog’s personality shine as they get to know and trust me! I TREAT EVERY DOG LIKE FAMILY I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will reassure you that your pup is having a good time with communication that includes updates and photos/videos. I love sending updates and photos so you can see your dog enjoying their stay. You can relax knowing your furry family member is receiving lots of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to come back! WHAT TO BRING To help your dog enjoy a comfortable stay, please bring: * Regular food including favorite snack * Special bed * Any necessary medications * A leash, collar, or harness * Any important instructions regarding their routine I have plenty of bowls, blankets, and doggy bags, so there’s no need to overpack! Bring as little or as much as your pup needs. Whether you’re traveling, heading out for the day, having a dinner party or simply need someone trustworthy to care for your best friend, I would love to welcome them into my home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! While I am during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17+ yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

About: I've loved dogs and cats all my life, but I never knew the impact that a dog or cat can have on me. Got my first dog when I was 12: Vicky, a beautiful German Shepherd, and I fell in love instantly. It's been a love story ever since. My family has had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, and ferrets. I truly believe pets are our "happy place," and their unconditional love warrants that love to be reciprocated. I've watched family pets when family and friends have gone on vacation or need a drop-in babysitter. A family friend actually flies me to Florida while they are away so that I can watch their babies. It is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. Working from 830am to 5 pm, I'm happy to fit pet care into my daily routine by providing dependable morning, evening, and after-work visits, giving your pets the attention, care, love, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly small dogs that will provide a safe place for them to roam, smell the grass and fresh air, and still be able to move and jump and run with two friends.

About: Took care of our beloved Marnie who was 140 pound Newfoundlander who has crossed over the rainbow bridge and would love to fill that voud taking care of other dogs i'm currently home and not working and have plenty of time to dog sit or take your dog for a nice long walk feed them and keep them happy! we are a dog lover, family, and love to welcome them in our home. my husband and I have always been dog lovers and have had dogs for many years until we recently lost our beloved Marnie

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”
