“Caroline is terrific and takes great care of our two cat brothers. I trust her completely.”

“James very obviously cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about dogs. He handled my large dog with ease. I feel like my doggo had a great time with James, honestly I think my dog was a little disappointed when I got home because he enjoyed his time with James so much. Would recommend.”

About: I've always loved working with animals. My family has owned pets that range from large dogs to small kittens. Since I was young, I've grown in experience taking care of farm animals and household pets. Some of my jobs have included training a puppy to do some basic tricks, caring for an older pup in her last days, bathing dogs, playing with cats, long walks with high energy dogs, and cuddles with the low energy ones. I'm currently working as an intern in downtown Grand Rapids. I'm able to work around my flexible schedule to give your pet the care that it needs. Typically, I work all day Thursday, but I'm willing to work with you to fit your schedule best! Since I am in an apartment, I am sadly unable to provide boarding services at my residence. However, I have a car and am more than willing to travel to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home!

About: I am a vet assistant for a mobile vaccine company and just enjoy aniamls and just can't get enough of them. I want to let you have me time and know your babies are in good hands. I work weekends mostly so I am free during the week alot and can even to weird 3rd shift hours if needed. Very flexible when I can be. I like to try and meet up before the sitting so I can know how your pet is taken care of so I can keep them in the same routine even when your gone.

“Tabby was able to drop in last minute to help me. My schedule is so busy sometimes I'm not able to give 24 hours notice. She visited my home to check on my pups during a busy day. Thank you!!”

“Cherokee did several drop in visits with Rosko over the holiday. She was awesome! Made it very easy to set up a key drop and sent great photos from each check in. Rosko was very well taken care of and I had peace of mind while traveling. Thank you!”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and lover of animals who grew up with a lot of pets. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all kinds and all ages, from twin toy chihuahuas to my 145-lb Newfoundland/Saint Bernard mix. I have love and respect for all animals and I especially love taking care of and traveling with my senior cat of 7 years and bff, Ducky. I am a friendly people (and fur people) person and would love to help care for your pet! I work part time and have flexibility to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I care for my own pet every day and love to fit meeting new dog and cat friends into my daily schedule. I can drop by to walk your dog (comfortable with large dogs, dogs who need training, etc), feed your cat, or help care for your pet in whatever way you need. I am happy to pet sit in your home or just drop in for a walk. I live on 3 acres and have the perfect area to go for long walks if you want to bring your pet to me, as well.

“Pamela did an excellent job looking after my cats while I was gone! I loved the many pictures she took and her thorough updates. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”

Alyssa P.

“Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!”

There are a couple of trails within walking distance of my house as well that are perfect for long walks.

When I have a pet in my home, I spend all my time (besides my working hours) at my home with your pet. Since I do not work weekends, I will be at home with your pet the entire time. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. If you prefer me to watch the dog in your home, I am happy to do so. If I am watching your pet at your home I will treat your home with respect. I am happy to get your mail, water your plants, and complete any other household chores you need while you are away. I like to learn your pets schedule so they are as comfortable as possible whether I watch your pet in my home or yours.

About: Growing up I had my own pets - dogs and cats who I helped care for. I also I used to watch over my grandparents pets (cats, dogs, birds, ducks, chickens, and rabbits). I’ve pet-sitted and owned animals who required senior care, including dogs who required medicinal food and regular care due to bladder issues. I’ve also pet sat for young animals including kittens and puppies. In addition, I’ve cared for pets who deal with seizure issues. I work full-time, but work fully remote. I work four 9-hours shifts M-Th and a 4-hour shift on Fri. (I work standard 8-5 job) My own apartment has plenty of space to take dogs on safe walks in the neighborhood and to the pet park to make sure they are getting loved and energized as needed. I also ensure they are well fed with the proper food and given the proper love and attention they need depending on the animals comfort. I consistently take the pets out as needed at their homes and if they require specific timing for medicine or care will set alarms. I’m also opening to having “emergency contacts” for information of care.

About: I have experience providing both overnight pet care and daily drop-in/walk visits for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I enjoy caring for animals and believe dogs thrive with consistent attention, daily exercise, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks. Safety and fulfilling needs is my number one priority when I have a pet in my care. I will ensure that walks or visits are safe for your pet and that its needs are being met.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10, I help my grandpa take care of his new puppy, I used to walk dogs as a kid. I’m currently a high school student and I graduate early May, I work part time at licaris on the weekends! I am looking to spend more time outdoors this spring/summer and would love to spend time with your pets! I can’t bring back pets to my home unfortunately due to the fact that my parents are allergic, but I will make sure your pet is cared for at home and on the go! I know the proper way to hold a leash to ensure that your pet is happy and comfortable. I know my way around pets body language as well and can keep myself and your pet safe.

About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾
