“Asked Mackenzie very last minute to help us out with our pups, and she came through! Reliable, communicated well, and fairly priced! We will be asking for her help in the future!”
“We’ve had Lauren check in our cats a few different times now, and it’s always worked out so well. She’s a great communicator, and we rest easy knowing they’re being taken care of (and our shy cat has warmed up to her now!).”
“Liz is great. I had put the wrong date when I needed Loz to come over to let our Millie for potty break. I immediately follow up with Liz I made a mistake that I needed her now. She said oh my, she then left her home to let her out right away. Thank you for taking care of Millie. You can always count on Liz’s help and service!”
About: From puppies to senior animals, I’ve worked with them all! My goal is for you to feel more than comfortable leaving your pet in my care. My love for pets is endless and I will make sure they get all the love & attention you would give them if you were there yourself. My current schedule allows me to work from home four days a week and am free most evenings for pet sitting, walks or quick check ins. For in home visits, I would chat with you ahead of time to go over care details and preferences for your pet. Same thing does for in home visits - I’m happy to share photos of my space or invite your over for a trial to have your animal be in my space and meet me before you book an official visit. My home is clean, friendly and inviting!
“Jennifer is amazing with my pups! My one dog is very particular on who can come into his home and he took right to her! She is very reliable and is able to work with my schedule!”
About: I have loved and owned pets since childhood and have 8 years of experience fostering many different animals with varying temperaments, ages, and health issues. I'm comfortable giving medication and accommodating their individual needs. Just let me know! I work from home full-time so I am home all day and able to give pets as much attention as they need. I am free in the evening/night as well after work hours, which is when I can do longer walks or play sessions if needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard facing the woods, and no street-facing windows that would get dogs overexcited/stressed. I typically keep a very calm and quiet household. I have one dog who is lower energy and doesn't pay much attention to other animals in the house and one cat that will usually stay away from more rambunctious dogs. When in the backyard I typically have dogs on a long lead with me since I don't have a fence.
“Lilly took excellent care of my dog this past weekend, sending a nice detailed update + some funny photos of him after each visit. You can tell she enjoys taking care of dogs and I came home to a very happy pup yesterday!”
“First time user here. Leeann was the absolute best! It was so comforting to not have to worry about our dog while we were away. I had complete faith that Leeann would provide amazing care for our dog. We will definitely be using her again!!!!”
About: I have had a pitbull-lab mix since April 2016, so I have plenty of dog care experience. I am most familiar with the pitbull-lab breed, but I am more than happy to care for any breed! I just need to know how the dog acts, like if it is shy/skittish, energetic, etc. I pay close attention to detail and communicate well, and I am very flexible! If at any point I notice any issue with the dog or am unsure about something, I will document it and reach out via text, unless you prefer I call or it is an urgent matter. I am a full-time student at GRCC, and will be taking 2 7-week classes in the summer before transferring to GVSU for Film & Video in the Fall. I also work as a laundry attendant at a hotel in Grand Rapids, and I usually work nights but I have open availability. Occasionally I will work early afternoons. Please contact for availability. I am unavailable to care for your pet in my own home, but I am happy to care for your pet overnight in your home, have a play date or potty break for your pet. If you have any requests, like using a particular toy or going potty in a certain area, meeting that need will be top priority.
“Mallory always does a fantastic job at watching my cat! She has been flexible and has helped when he has needed medication too. When she checks in on him, she actively gives him attention, plays with him, gives him treats, etc.”
“Grace watched our kitties while we were on vacation. She was great at communicating and we loved the photos she shared with us. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks again Grace!!”
“I booked Grace last minute and she was amazing! She was so sweet and loving with my dog. sent me adorable pictures and made sure everything was done exactly how I asked. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jada is reliable and consistent. She did 9 drop ins for us. We’re very pleased with her care for our lil pups! She took pics and sent updates via Rover. We look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
