Dog Sitting Alto

“Really appreciated the feedback and attempts to make Ollie comfortable.”

Alicia R.

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.

“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’ve been taking care of friends and family dogs since I was around 16. I love both cats and dogs and I’m great with them. I am available pretty much everyday depending on time and what day. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so we can always work something out. I am open to driving to your house to pet sit. I am moving soon at the end of this year so I will be more open to pet sitting at my place once that is finalized.

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.

About: I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly (can't seem to figure out how to add her name but she'll also be helping with sitting), two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard, a dog specific area over the garage and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, they have the loft, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

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 have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.

“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 have two dogs of my own and one of them I raised as a puppy so I am experienced with any age of dog and have been around dogs most of my life. I am currently out of school and am working part time. I will be able to provide care for your pets for the larger part of the day and most days of the week. I have an electrical fence so my dogs can run around, and I also take them on long walks. I make sure to stick to there eating routine to make sure they are happy and healthy.

About: Since the age of 10 I’ve helped family, friends, and people within my area with their dogs. From dog sitting to walking and just letting them out, I’ve done it all. Willing to work with dogs of all ages! I also volunteer at animal shelter pound buddies in my free time. I’m currently working part time so I’m available to help out most days during the week and am fairly flexible, especially on the weekends. For house sitting I know the importance of respecting others boundaries while providing the best care for your animals. In the past I’ve had families provide a “cheat sheet” including all their rules for both their house and pets.

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
