House Sitting in Amsden

“Emily was wonderful! She provided updates throughout the stay along with lots of pictures. She was very friendly and took great care of my two dogs. I would definitely use Emily again in the future!”

“We cannot say enough positive things about Pamela! This was our first experience with Rover and we were nervous because we have a senior dog (she's fourteen) as well as two cats but she put our minds at ease immediately upon meeting here, and then all throughout the time we were gone. She's conscientious, has great rapport with animals, and provided regular updates three times a day--including pictures! One evening there were some fireworks going off in the neighborhood that upset our dog, and she reached out for additional counsel and guidance. She even sat on the floor and held our dog's paw to provide comfort. I hope we're able to get Pamela every time we need a pet sitter!”

“Chris did a great job house sitting for our golden retriever. Her communication was great, and she responded right away with updates whenever I checked in. The house was super clean when we got back, and she took good care of our baby. Would use Chris for house sitting again.”

“Fabulous sitter over 8 days and nights. Our dogs still miss her and she was able to wrangle 3 indoor/outdoor cats, in addition to being in charge of 9 horses! We highly recommend Eileen! Our home was in perfect condition, plus she did laundry (not required) She also updated us with daily photos✈️🏖️🌷”

“Kelly is responsive, and easy to get to know. She stayed in our home over spring break with our 2 doggos. 💕 Throughout our trip, Kelly kept us updated on how the dogs were doing, she even sent a few photos and videos. The dogs were well cared for throughout the week. Kelly stayed in our home and left it in perfect condition! She’s a gem, you can’t go wrong trusting your beloved pets in her care.”

“Jade was wonderful! She took care of my dog, horse, cows and chickens while we were gone. She gave Brody plenty of attention and went above and beyond taking care of my farm animals! She quickly assessed when my horse was limping and tended to his needs including giving medication and wrapping his leg. I came home to a very well kept home and happy animals. Definitely will be using her again in the future! Thank you Jade!”

Rachel K.

“Fantastic as always- we added a puppy into the mix so Caroline stayed at our home and was wonderful with our dogs! The puppy LOVED and bonded with her dog Gator. Will def book with Caroline again”

“Shannon was awesome with our dog Echo. He eneded up needing a little medical intervention and Shannon's experience working at an emergency vet clinic was invaluable. She cared for Echo and resolved the issue and we came home to a happy pup. We would definitely use Shannon again. She was great!”

Judi C.

“Paige is a great sitter! I used her for the first time this month for ten days. From the first, punctual communication, to the end of her stay in my home, Paige proved to be an excellent dog sitter/home sitter. I received daily pictures and videos of my dog and her dog running through the fields and cuddling on the bed together. Since our original meet and greet, I had total confidence that Paige would be a good fit for taking care of my pup. She is very easy going and understands dogs. To top it all off, she left my home looking better than when I left! I would not hesitate use Paige again.”

Laurie M.

“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”

About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life sense I was a child. I can love your pets like my own in their own environment while you are gone. I currently can work from anywhere. A lot of my bisiness is all online. I can work my business online and still take care of your animals (in your home). I go by their feeding schedule, love on them, play with them, walk them, take them out potty (for dogs) and anything else the is needed to make sure pets a happy and healthy.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a kid as I come from a big dog loving family! Starting with my personal and family experience: I have 2 dogs of my own: Pretzel who’s a Lab/Beagle mix and Wallace who is Lab/Heeler/Terrier mix! I have plenty of experience watching my sisters dogs, my best friends dogs, and my parents dogs. In college, I had a part-time job dropping in on a dog whose owner worked in the medical field and would have long shifts. I would go play with her, take her out to go potty and just spend time with her so she wasn’t alone for long periods of time! Aside from pet sitting for family and friends regularly, I don’t have a lot of experience outside of that; but it has always been a dream of mine to get a business like this running so I can spend my time doing what I love most, being around and caring for dogs! I feel comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Just some of the breeds I have interacted with are Dachshund, Beagle/Dachshund mix, Lab/Beagle mix, Rottweiler, Catahoula Leopard, Anatolian Shepherd, Goldendoodle, Lab/Doberman mix, and Pomskey. I am really excited about this new adventure and I hope you will pick me as your sitter! Currently I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, so I have plenty of time in between to spend with other pups! I hope at some point I could have this replace my current job! Unfortunately, my dogs aren’t the most friendly with others so I cannot offer services in my home. However, there is potential for me to have pets outside in my fenced in area for some outdoor playtime! Depending on my availability I am okay with overnights at your house if you are on vacation! I would treat your pets like they were my own and follow any instructions you have! Lastly, I offer dog walking services. I would love the exercise just as much as your pup would!!

“Jackie was fantastic! She really bent over backwards for us. Highest possible recommendation. She even took care our our chickens! Communication and level of care was 5 star. You can tell she is very invested in each animal she cares for. Thank you Jackie!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I've attended many dog training sessions with Petsmart and multiple dog training experts. I have three dogs of my own, a pomeranian, a golden doodle and a doberman. I am available anytime Friday thru Sunday for walking and or sitting. I am also available noon to five upon request Monday thru Thursday for dog walking only. I would follow your schedule and routine for your fur babies as needed and requested. I will gladly care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

“Katelyn is amazing! Her communication was top-notch. She will be at the top of our list next time we need care for our pets. She gave us full reports on potty times and feeding. I felt so at ease with her in our home. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy our time away from home knowing that our fur babies were in good hands.”

About: My name is Sammie, I have been involved in animal welfare for 5 years (shelter jobs/rescue) and have worked with all kinds of temperaments and have done some training/fostering and dog bathing/medical care! I love all animals and don't mind excited dogs jumping all over me. I have 3 medium/large dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with all kinds of species though! I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Willing to negotiate prices. Feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thanks! Working in shelters and fostering animals made animal care something that I am very serious and passionate about so spending the majority of my day caring for animals is something I am very comfortable and confident doing. It usually varies on the specific pet. I make sure to have owners leave me a feeding instructions and a list of their expectations for their pets care along with rules I’m expected to follow.

About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.

About: I've had family dogs my entire life, but 5 years ago I adopted my very first personal dog, Winston. Other dogs in the house are Lottie (4 years old) and Sully (2 years old). My family and I have been fostering for Unleashed Love Pet Rescue since fall of 2017. That being said, we've had many dogs come through our house - all with different backgrounds and behavior. We've fostered dogs as young as 3 days old to 9 years old. I have taken a few classes about dog behavior and medicine, as well as an obedience class with Winston. I have dog/house sat for family in the past for weeks at a time as well. I look forward to meeting you! I’m currently without a job, so this would be my main priority at the moment. My dogs need to be let out every 4-8 hours but other than that I am available! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs to keep your pupper company. We have buckets of toys available at all times. Our dogs are not crated regularly, but I do have crates of all sizes available if necessary.
