Cat Sitting in Bridgman

About: Cats - I've cat sit a large handful of cats, many of whom are neighbors that will always reach out to me when off on vacation or need someone to check on them! I like to make sure the home is clean and will go above and beyond, making the home cleaner than when they left. I give the cats lots of attention and everything they may need. Lots of love and cuddles. I know that cats are stereotyped as antisocial creatures that can take care of themselves, but I disagree! I know they need love, attention, and play time! I've helped a small handful of cats that I've watched go from shy, hiding when they see new people, to getting texts from the owner wondering how their cat is so much more social and happy. I love to make a positive impact on people's cats. Dogs - I've dog sat a smaller handful of dogs, but still enjoy watching them just the same. I love to give them the attention they need, take them outside, and let them feel loved! You'll come home to a happy pup! I take online college classes that can take up a bit of time, but I'm still readily available and home. I work 3 days a week part time, 7am-3pm on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm a huge animal lover and especially when it comes to cats I know they need more attention than people can sometimes let on! I keep homes clean, and care for the pet to my best ability and am up to any challenges they may come with. You'll come home to a happy, loving pet.

“Kelly was so sweet and so good with our dog. She watched him for a couple drop ins last minute after our sitter cancelled. She was always either on time or early, stayed later than expected to, sent great pictures and gave us updates! I highly recommend Kelly!”

Ciara S.

“Lucy was awesome. Sent us pics from every visit. One of the cats is super shy and she came out to see Lucy every time. Can't recommend her enough.”

Mufi N.

“We had a meet & greet at my home before the needed drop in. I felt reassured that I had chosen a reliable, kind to pets gal. Emilia communicated back quickly, sent photo's & message. I plan on having her return when a future need for sitter or drop in comes.”

Linda C.

“Our cat sitter, Brielle, was more than excellent! She interacted mostly with our social butterfly cat, Vader, and he loved the attention. The other two stayed hiding, as usual whenever someone new is at the house. Their food was on point, water and litter boxes cleaned and cared for. She left all better than she found it and that is appreciated! We hope to use Brielle services again in the future. Having her watching the kitties made for a very relaxing vacation.”

Andrea C.

“Bradley took great care of my Griffen. Although, Griffen was happy to see me, he would have been happy to see Bradley. It was nice to go away for a few days and not have to worry about Griffen.”

About: I grew up a dog lover, and when I moved into an apartment, I became a certified cat person. I have 2 cats of my own that get so stressed out when I go on trips and don't bring them! So I really understand the importance of going above and beyond to play with your pets and keep them company. I am working a full time job that changes hours seasonally. Right now I am available anytime on Monday and Tuesday, and before noon the rest of the week. I am totally comfortable sending pictures and videos of your pets while I’m visiting! We can discuss any other house sitting tasks you would like done, but rest assured and hairballs or other messes will be cleaned!

“So grateful to Michelle for watching our girls recently! You can tell she truly loves pets, and was so patient with our elderly girl, Ribbon. Thank you so much again! Would definitely rebook. :)”

Janice H.

“Alicia was great with my cats! They really took to her, and she kept me updated with notes and photos at each visit. She also went above and beyond cleaning up and bringing in packages. I’d definitely recommend her for pet sitting!”

Christopher J.

“Chelsea dropped in daily to check on our cat while we were out of town. She quickly made friends with our cat and gave her plenty of love! Chelsea provided extensive updates and photos/videos, and was an excellent communicator, putting us at ease. We'll definitely reach out to her next time!”

About: This isn’t “watching,” it’s enrichment. I’m home full-time, comfortable with giant breeds, and working toward a dog-training certificate. I don’t have pets of my own—so let me “borrow” yours. 🙂 Why it’s premium Toys galore: fetch, tug, chew, puzzles, snuffle mats, flirt pole—rotated and sanitized. Daily enrichment: scent games + short training reps (sit/down/place, leash manners). Real routine: 4+ outdoor breaks, play blocks, naps, calm evening wind-down. Senior-smart: slow walks, extra potty breaks, meds as directed. Safety & house rules No mixing different client households. Group play allowed only for dogs from the same household and only with owner approval. Crate only if your dog already uses one or needs it to decompress—otherwise no crate. No off-leash outside secure areas. Toys inspected/cleaned; high-value items managed; feeding done separately. Calm, low-stim environment; fully supervised play; I end sessions at the first sign of stress/arousal. A typical day Morning potty → breakfast → enrichment/training → rest. Midday walk/play → puzzle/lick-mat → nap. Late-day yard time or walk → dinner → relaxed engagement → bedtime potty. What I need to know Potty status, triggers, allergies, meds, feeding schedule, crate habits, separation issues, resource-guarding. Bring food, harness/leash, and a comfort item from home. Services Boarding / Daycare: enrichment-focused structure and play. Walks / Drop-Ins: potty, feed, tidy, quick manners tune-ups. Training add-on (optional): 15–30 min focused sessions on your priority cues. Updates Clear photo/video updates with honest notes on meals, potty, rest, and what we worked on. Bottom line: premium, toy-rich, 1:1 care—safe, structured, and tailored to your dog. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times or more if needed. They will be well-loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs, but I love all animals.I don't have any animals of my own right so let me "borrow" yours. ;) I care for dogs, cats. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

About: I already know how to give certain medications, train certain tricks, and take care of old dogs that might need an extra boost. Im also very willing to learn something I may not already know how to do! I also don't just take care of your pets but your home too, if you need plants watered, trash taken out, mail picked up... just let me know! I Currently work some weeks from 3pm-9pm Monday-friday but my schedule is not always this way. If your pet needs extra care during this time that is something we could work out aswell! I try my best to step into your shoes while you are away to keep your pets routine very similar to what they are used to, but I also try to do extra fun things with them so its like a mini vacation for them while you are on your vacation! I keep a happy environment for you and your pets.

About: I've always had dogs and cats in my life. Now I help out with my family pets. I love animals and am willing to travel. I recently retired so I am available pretty much anytime after 9/15/25. I can go back and forth or stay at your home. Your coice! I would prefer to care for your animals in your home. Less stress on them while you are away.i have 3 cats who would also prefer that ;)

“Thank you so much Haley for taking care of our fur babies! We were so appreciative to get updates and pictures and know that they were okay while we took a date night. We’ll be booking again, for sure!”

About: I've taken care of furry critters my whole life. My neighbors, family, and friends always know they can rely on me. Have trained many dogs/puppies the basics and even how to rollover. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for taking special care of your furry friend. Whether that be an extensive diet, strict schedule, or just special care. I always make sure my animals are living their best life and would do the same for yours. I have a big fenced in yard the dogs love to interact with one another in and play. The cats aren't excluded either, mine are living their purrfect life as well.

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Katelyn is the cat whisperer for my old man who tends to ignore everyone. Both animals took to her right away at our initial visit and I knew they were going to be cared for with kind and thoughtful care. And they were.”
