House Sitting in Big Rapids

“Rylie did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She communicated with us during her stay and provided us with the assurance that Addie was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her”

About: I’ve been around pets since I was born and have pet sat for a range of animals, from cats to horses! I love taking care of all types of pets and have pet sat for 1-2 years! I am currently working part time, with shifts being from 11-7! Fridays are subject to change because I teach horse back riding lessons. I do not normally work weekends but it is a possibility. I treat all pets like they were my own! I love cuddling and playing with all the pets that I sit for. At my home we have a 3 year old Dachshund mix who loves to play with everyone and are looking at getting a Drahthaar puppy! We have plenty of space for playing and going on walks!

“Samantha is an extremely caring individual, EXTREAMLY towards animals, she’s a dog lover for sure and a dog mom herself, I’ve had her take care of my dog for the last 3 years whenever I’m not able to, she always takes him on walks, feeds him, baths him and just overall keeps him happy and healthy, she’s an amazing dog handler as well!”

“I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.”

“Emily is so great with my dog, Louie! She stayed at our house for a weekend and gave Louie so much love and attention. It was very appreciated!”

“Above and beyond service. Dogs loved her.”

“Jason was wonderful and caring for our three dogs overnight! When we had car issues on our trip and were unable to get home on time, Jason was willing and able to be flexible with watching our dogs. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”

“Kandi has such an amazing spirit about her with animals. She has taken care of our cat on several different occasions when we have been out of state for 2-3 weeks at a time. One of the favorite things she does is sends us updates on our cat every few days; even at times she send us pictures, which I absolutely love. She follows directions and is prompt and very responsible with her services. My cat is pretty sassy to say the least and normally won’t let anyone near her. Somehow Kandi has developed quite a close relationship with her. She keeps our cat and her food dishes and water clean along with her kitty litter. I highly recommend her services for pet setting.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always done pet care on the side since high school. Im passionate about getting animals outside and moving! Im currently working a full time job Monday-Friday from 8-4. After work and every weekend I am free to provide care and fun for your pets! We have a large amount of land for your dog to play on! I am fit and active and am willing to take your dog on walks for as long as they need and want (with lots of sniff breaks)

About: I have taken care of and trained dogs my whole life, from my own family's pets to those of my close friends and family members. My love and patience for every kind of pet makes it easy to connect and form a bond with yours. I walk, feed, train, bathe, and play with each animal as if they were my own. I currently work three to fours days a week with weekends off to care, train, bathe, watch, and love your pets for however long needed Depending on the requirements for each animal means different kinda of care. For the high energy breeds we would go for long walks or runs with brain stimulation play as well. And for the breed that are working dogs i would give tasks to complete in order to give them that kind of satisfaction. Also if there are any certain diets or medication that needed to be given i would do that.

“Grace loves dogs and pets of all kinds. She has owned several pets and takes exceptional care of each one. She is very responsible and loving.”

About: I grew up with labs my whole life so I’m very use to large dogs! The endless shedding doesn’t scare me away! I truly love all dog breeds though and I’m willing to open up to even the moody ones! I work full time 8:30-5:00 but I do have an hour lunch that I can make work for potty breaks and short walks! I can also stop by before and after work and I’m willing to stay during night weeknights too on occasion. I have a fiancé and two kids so I prefer to be home during week nights but with a notice in advance I can make it work. I am a bit OCD with my own pet care. My cat has an enclosure for his litter box with foam flooring for underneath the enclosure. I keep a broom, a shop vac and a swifter all just for his area. He has special prescription food and I keep his diet on a schedule. He gets lots of love daily and I plan provide the same care for your pets!

“Brooke has a very special love and care for all animals. She has owned and cared for a WIDE variety of pets and has taken exceptional care of each and every one. Brooke has taken care of may animals over the years when I was out of town and has always been dependable and has gone above and beyond for me and my pets. Since she loves animals combined with knowledge and experience, she is the ideal person to care for anyone needing a loving pet caregiver. Brooke comes highly recommended!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! I personally have one dog and one cat. My dog is a Labrador Retriever and he is spoiled! I love dogs and cats of all breeds. I currently work part time during the week so I’m pretty flexible with my availability to pet sit! As of right now, I work Tuesday through Friday. I will treat your fur baby just like my own, they’re a part of the family too! You won’t have to worry while I’m with them!

“Henry does a great job with our dog, Ozzy. He is very friendly to Ozzy, is able to manage his high energy, and never gets frustrated with him even though Ozzy can be a handful at times.”

About: Over the past ten years I have done countless dog sitting jobs for local friends and family. I also have a passion for fitness and love going for long walks to get my steps in! I provide great care for your forever friend and I make sure all of their needs are met! I consider every dog I’ve ever dog sat as one of my “fur babies” and I treat them how I would want someone to treat my own pets. I’m a registered nurse in the OR and I work 4 days per week 7am-4:30pm so my evenings are always free and rarely work weekends. I always have my constant attention on your furry friends and ensure they are well cared for! From walks and playing to all of the pets and love!

About: I have taken care of many different animals in my life. Horses, cats, guniea pigs, rats, gerbils, dogs, rabbits, lizards and snakes. I love them all. I have done all different types of animal care and want to help others out when I am able. I can take of horses, cows, goats, dogs, cats, lizards and more. Just let me know! Pricing would vary with different animals that are larger than a dog, and smaller than a cat. :) I work full time. An 8 to 5 job. I am able to help out on the weekends when I have nothing going on, after work for drop ins or I can even house sit for you too. Just need a weeks notice. 😊 I care for them with love and care. I will listen close to your instructions and make sure they are taken care of as though you were home.

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”
