About: Hi! I’m a longtime pet sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and genuinely love getting to know animals of all personalities—from energetic pups to shy cats and senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I especially enjoy in-home pet and house sitting because I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment where they can stick to their routine and feel safe and relaxed. My goal is always to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’ll treat your pets like family, give them lots of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know they’re happy and cared for. I currently work full-time during the week but make pet care a priority in my routine. I’m available for mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and routines to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience and volunteer experience at animal shelters, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, temperament, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll always treat your pets like my own and respect your home while keeping you updated for peace of mind.

“Brittney did an excellent job house sitting with my dog Millie. She walked Millie several times a day and sent lots of pictures and feedback. She followed instructions well and asked questions when a scenario did fit the instructions. I would definitely ask her to help out again.”

“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.”

About: I am a veterinary technician that has tons of experience in care of animals. Including puppy, kitten, adult, and seniors. The care and safety of animals is my goal! I have Fridays and weekends off, and absolutely love animals! I strive to work with them as much as possible and to help make a difference for busy pet owners! :) My pets are offered endless play time with enrichment activities at home! I tend to their needs and they have a strict special diet that they are required with strict amounts.

About: I spent 13 years caring for my own dog, Seven, and she was truly part of my family. That experience shaped how I care for every dog-patiently, attentively, and with a lot of love. I genuinely enjoy being outside, going on walks, and making sure dogs are active, happy, and not stuck inside all day. Your dog won’t just be “watched”- they’ll be cared for, played with, and treated like one of our own. I currently work from home and am home the majority of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I do step out occasionally for short transportation trips and my boys’ sports activities, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone for long periods. Your dog will have a consistent, safe, and attentive environment with lots of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide regular potty breaks every few hours, daily walks, and plenty of outdoor time. When I’m outside working on projects, dogs are welcome to be with me under supervision. Because we are on a busy road and the yard is not fully fenced, all dogs will be closely monitored outdoors. I will follow your preferences regarding leashing at all times, and I also have a secure 20-foot cable line available for safe outdoor time when appropriate. Fresh water is always available, both indoors and outside. I also currently have a calm, 12-year-old foster dog who enjoys light play and does well with other dogs. We’re located near a lake, and with your permission, I’m happy to include supervised swimming and extra outdoor activities for dogs who enjoy it. I will always tailor care to your dog’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Aliya took great care of our dogs and our home. Highly recommend her. She followed my directions with care and communicated with me while I was gone.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

“Natalia did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out. She came over 3 -4 times per day to feed them and take them out exactly as we had planned.”

About: Hi! I’m Kaelyn, a reliable and caring animal lover based in Cedar Springs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping them feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

About: My years in the pet care field and the ability to give any meds or special needs to various issues or concerns to keep them safe and happy I am retired so I will have plenty of time to spend one on one interaction with your pet and give them the attention they deserve I will ensure that the yard is secure if fenced in or the collar is secure when walking. Cats I will be careful in opening doors to the outside.
