Dog Sitting in Alto

About: I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care! I've been working with neighbors and have been recommended to others due to my reliable and compassionate pet care. In addition, I have completed countless volunteer hours through the Humane Society of West Michigan's Dogs Day Out program, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of varying temperaments, energy levels, and care needs! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for any pet care needed on weekdays and weekends! In my own home, I have one cat who loves to lie around the house during the day and snuggle next to me at night! My #1 goal is to make sure your pet is having fun in a safe and comfortable environment at all times!

“Pam is always so great with Bella and has been very understanding when my booking details needed to be changed. I would highly recommend her to anyone else.”

About: Hi! I’m Ophelia, and I specialize in reliable, stress free drop in visits for busy professionals. I know how demanding work schedules can be, and how important it is to have someone you can trust to step in and care for your pet during the day. Whether you’re in meetings, commuting, or working long hours, I make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. During drop in visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection all tailored to your pet’s routine. I’m detail oriented and dependable, so you can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions closely. You’ll also get regular updates and great photos, so you can stay connected to your pet even on your busiest days. My goal is simple: make your life easier while keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for. Looking forward to supporting you and your pet! 🐾 I have free weekends & afternoons with a stable & flexible 9-5 so I can easily do lunch drop ins as well as my open weekends and afternoons/evenings! My pets aren’t just an after though but a priority & part of the family. I’ll treat yours the same way I treat mine, wish love & patience!

“Julio has been wonderful. He’s been very attentive to my dog. He plays great with her and he’s always on time and he does a great job. I will use him again whenever he’s available.”

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: Hi! My name is Rebeca and I’m a huge dog lover. My husband and I recently welcomed our miniature Aussiedoodle puppy, Luna, into our home, and caring for her has made us even more passionate about dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and routines, so if your dog has specific feeding schedules, training needs, or favorite activities, I’m happy to follow them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I would love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. My daily routine already includes caring for my puppy, so adding another dog to our routine fits very naturally. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. I also have a puppy at home, so maintaining a safe environment is already part of my daily routine. I make sure all spaces are pet-safe and always supervise interactions to ensure every dog feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Communication is very important to me, so I always send regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.

“Delightful team- Niki & Neil & Marlee. They are kind, cheerful, and eager to help. Communication and flexibility are excellent. I highly recommend them!”

About: I have owned dogs since I was 8 years old and have dog sat off and on over the last 10 years. I am very reliable caregiver who is intuitive to dogs needs. I strive to treat both you and your dog with kindness and respect. I live in a duplex with a large fenced in backyard. There are a couple of trails within walking distance of my house as well that are perfect for long walks. I will gladly follow any special requests by clients to ensure the pet is taken care of the way they prefer. I will treat not only the pet with love and respect but your home as well. I am currently working Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm. I am available Monday - Thursday 5pm until 9pm. Fridays 5pm until 12:00am. I am available most weekends after 10am until but I am flexible with my weekend hours. I currently work from 8am - 4pm Monday - Friday. I am able to let your dogs out during the work week prior to going to work and after. My boyfriend lives close to our house and he can also come home on his lunch break to let the dog outside. 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: 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’ve loved all animals forever. Growing up, we always had a pretty busy household with pets that I would help care for. I have experience staying in homes watching over their dogs (big and small). I have one dog at the moment and he is almost 15!! Helping him has given me experience with puppies as well as seniors. I just moved back home from California where I was doing Air Force training. The job I have lined up does not start until June 10th so my schedule is very flexible right now!! I give lots of love and attention. When I am staying in a home I give them plenty of walks and ensure they have a comfortable environment with me. I let them come to me and once we have trust built we’re besties!! They will always have a save environment with me!

“Amelia did an excellent job watching our two cats. She kept us in the loop with her updates and made us feel very secure about our pets’ well-being. She is the best!”

“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!”
