Pet Sitting in Cedar Springs

“Ross did drop in visits for my lab for six days while I was on vacation. He came twice a day in a foot of snow and an ice storm. He was very reliable and I highly recommend him.”

“Izzy was awesome with our puppy! She is very responsive and took good care of our puppy while we were out of town for a few hours. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch our animals!”

“Keerigan was awesome and the dogs loved her (they told me so). Will be booking her again. Responsive and thorough in communication. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around.

“Annmarie loved my dogs from the minute she walked in the door! She picked up on each of the dogs' unique characteristics and really took the time to listen to me. When she came for the drop in visit, she sent me messages as well as pictures on how the dogs did. Her schedule is flexible which is great for me since my schedule is unpredictable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver!”

“Kelly was reliable and right on time. She is considerate and kind and showed a lot of love for my two dogs. She even clipped the dewclaws of my little one because she really needed it. She goes out of her way to make them feel relaxed around her.I would recommend her to anyone.I will be using her for more sitting and drop-in visits.”

“Amber has stayed with my 2 large German Shepard dogs multiple times! They love her! They are very active dogs and Amber is always sure to give them some sort of exercise, whether it be a walk or playing ball in the back yard! Amber treats my dogs as her own, and is always quick to respond to me when I ask for updates about them!”

“Jasmine was so good with my puppy! She sent detailed updates and pictures while I was working. I knew he was in good hands which made me feel much better about leaving him home for the first time.”

“Vicki was great to work with! She responded quickly and on short notice came to exercise and give a potty break to our 9 month old puppy while we were away from the house for an extended period. He was clearly well cared for as he was calm when we returned. So glad she's here in Sparta!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for most of my life. Dog sitting in neighbors houses, walking coworkers dogs while they are working, and caring for my own adorable little Stevie! Animals bring so much joy to my life, I will care for your pet like I would my own :) I have experience’s with all ages of dogs puppy to senior! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend 🐾 I work part time as a pediatric nurse, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to fit you and your animals’ needs :) I am able to play with, walk, feed, crate, and give medication to your pet (and hopefully give some snuggles also😊). I can accommodate other special needs upon request as well!

“Emily is very responsible. She is very caring and makes any pet feel at ease when they meet her. Animals seem to love her right away!”

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 take a rest day on Sundays, and I work a full-time job Wed. - Sat. 7:30a-6p. Here is my complete general availability, updated as of 4/9/24: - Sundays and Saturdays: Unavailable - Mondays: Available 6a - 9p (Dog sitting and walking) - Tuesdays: Available 6a - 4:30p (Dog sitting and walking) - Wednesdays - Fridays: Available 7:30p - 9p (Dog sitting) Please note that with any changes, I will update my availability both here and in the calendar I am unavailable to care for your pet in my own home nor in your home overnight, but I am happy to come and do 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.

“Jenn performed consistently well beyond my expectations on every metric (e.g. communication, pet-care, flexibility, and coordination). From the first first visit with Light (my cat), to the final visit, I knew my pet was in great hands. I will definitely book her again in my future travels!”

“Joseph did an excellent job! Dogs love him and he documented the visit well! Would recommend!”

About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Currently, I have 2 dogs that I spoil rotten. They enjoy the exercise of a walk/run as well as, a nice long ride in the car. Trying to find the right person to care for my animals while I'm away has always been a challenge. I guess, I'm a bit fussy when it comes to the care of my "kids". After this last round of looking for the right care giver for my animals and the challenges I faced, I thought why not offer the type of service I would expect when looking for a pet sitter. When I come to the house I spoil your babies, and leave the house in the same manner it was found, My service is faultless and my love for animals shows through. My only problem is my availability, please call to see what we can work out. I've cared for many animals while friends and family have been out of town Including, the two dogs that I currently own, I have a rail trail near my house that makes it very convenient and safe to walk dogs avoiding busy roads and driveways. I'm able to keep in touch with the pet owners by sending picture texts, FaceTime, giving a personal phone calls or emails to pet owners while away from home, easing their minds that their pets are well taken care of.

“Heather is awesome! Our pup Luka loves her, and we can tell she loves visiting him just as much. She does a wonderful job letting us know how visits go (including if our dog uses the bathroom, drinks/eats, had play time, etc). Heather shares photos of her time with our pup as well, which is so fun to see while we are away. She does a wonderful job cleaning up any messes and caring for our little guy. Highly recommend Heather. We will continue to book her!”

“Anita loves animals just as much as they love her. My Great Pyrenees both try to sit in her lap at the same time whenever she arrives. She is calm and conscientious and I would recommend her for any pet owners looking for great pet help.”

“Emily is a very caring and thoughtful pet sitter. My cats love her, and come out to greet her every time she visits! She has done everything we have needed and more while we have been out of town for our home and pets!”
