“We recently used Breanna to watch our cats over the Thanksgiving holiday & she was fantastic! She was prompt and timely for the scheduled check-ins & made sure to send communication and picture updates upon checkout. Having her made being out of time a little easier knowing our fur babies were taken care of!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”
“What a great experience! Our first visit using Lonie was perfect. She was super responsive and easy to work with. Our home was for sale and we have cats so she gave all of the effort we could have hoped for and more. We were nervous about leaving for ten days with a new sitter but this couldn’t have gone better. I can tell by their behavior that they were comfortable and happy with Lonie. I could not recommend her more.”
“I felt so at ease leaving my 2 cats with Carla! She even had a “cat room” with toys and cat tv so that they had their own space to play. I appreciated the photos and updates that Carla sent to me as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kurstin was absolutely amazing. She sent pictures every day, and she provided detailed updates. Kurstin followed the instructions for Ginny's care and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Kustin and would use her again”
“Amber was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond when taking care of George! Her updates always put a smile on my face and made me feel safe about being away from my guy!”
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
“Bibi is such a reliable pet sitter and I'm so lucky to have her checking in on my baby when we're away. She is always responsive, sends great updates, is happy to check the mail or water the plants or whatever I need and I just treasure the fact that Biscuits loves her! I'm only hesitant to give her a great review because I'm so reliant on her being available for all my travel needs!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. I have always had dogs in the house since I’ve been a little kid. I often house sit as well as dog and cat sit for neighbors anytime they need! I am a Grand Valley Sate University Student! For the summer I am taking part time online classes and looking for other animals to fill my time! Readily available and excited to do this! My goal is to keep your animals happy and healthy! I want to give enrichment activities and help them be comfortable while their owners are away!
About: I have been around dogs, cats, and every other kind of animal since I was a baby. I don’t remember growing up without us ever having at least 2 or 3 dogs running around, if not more! My family also had every other kind of animal growing up - even a pet raccoon! I’m really good with animals, and I LOVE dogs and cats. I have experience with training dogs how to sit, shake hands, and lay down. I can walk dogs confidently and know that we’ll be safe in any environment. I love caring for animals and giving them my full attention!! I promise your dog or cat will want me around more! :) I am flexible right now and can take care of your pets almost any day of the week! Please see my detailed availability for more info. I would prefer to take care of your pets in an environment they already know. I am more than happy to come to your place to take care of them.
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
“Parker did a wonderful job watching my home and cat, Truman, for the week I was away. It was comforting to know he was here to give Truman some love and attention. I strongly recommend him. Everything was in good order when I arrived home.”
“Lucius is the best! I felt completely comfortable leaving my six cats and my house in their care. I received regular updates and Lucius was responsive to all our needs and requests. Communication was excellent. I highly recommend that you hire Lucius for any pet or house sitting needs.”
