Enjoyed meeting Jillian for our meet and greet. She has a good chemistry with our dogs. We have two "Bullys" and a geriatric Brittany. She did well with them all. Our bullies can be rough players at times, but Jillian didn't shy away from this. They love cuddles but need a confident handler. She seems to do well with both roles. We were comfortable with our first experience and have already booked her again. We liked the secure feeling of having a trustworthy person watching our 4 legged kids. Would recommend her.

Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.

About: I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care! I've been working with neighbors and have been recommended to others due to my reliable and compassionate pet care. In addition, I have completed countless volunteer hours through the Humane Society of West Michigan's Dogs Day Out program, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of varying temperaments, energy levels, and care needs! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for any pet care needed on weekdays and weekends! In my own home, I have one cat who loves to lie around the house during the day and snuggle next to me at night! My #1 goal is to make sure your pet is having fun in a safe and comfortable environment at all times!

We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.

About: I have taken care of my family’s pets since I was in middle school, including animals that have had issues with separation anxiety and abandonment. I am a student who is home for the summer (until August) before attending law school at Case Western Reserve University. I am available almost every day at any time of day, but am only available until August. I take my own dogs on walks and am good about reading their signs for when they want to stop. I will show your pets lots of love and affection, as well as having plenty of experience playing with my own dogs and cats.

Lillie watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights and 4 days. She did an excellent job. She gave updates a couple times a day. She also responded whenever I reached out. We would use her again.

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I raised goats for 4 years. I have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, dogs, and puppies of all ages, including elderly pets. I am confident in the care and peace of mind that I can provide you and your pet(s). P.S. When the calendar says I'm available the whole time, it means I haven't set my availability yet. Thanks for your understanding! My main job's schedule is wildly inconsistent. I do this as a side gig, but I would love to do it more often because I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know and caring for people's pets in a way that gives their parents/owners peace of mind while they're away. Depending on the driving distance, I can provide drop-in care for your pet or stay at your place as needed. I have experience pet-sitting for pets that need medications administered/given.

Emily was incredible. She took on a task of dog sitting over Christmas and her being here gave us the peace of mind that is difficult to find when you leave your pet at home for the Holidays. She was always in communication and you can tell immediately that animals gravitate to her and become instantly comfortable. Thank you, Emily

I cannot say enough great things about Danielle! She was so great with Izzo. We had flight cancelations, and she was able to stay with Izzo until the day we got back. She was extremely flexible, and so understanding! Danielle is very outgoing, and she put me at ease right away. You get nervous leaving your fir baby with someone else, but Izzo was immediately drawn to Danielle! Everyone should book her. Danielle is amazing!!
