“Our dog Finley had an unfortunate accident before madi got to our apartment for their walk. Not only did she clean it up for us but she went out of her way to mop the floor and take our trash out afterwards! 100% recommend Madi to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the pets she looks after!”

About: Hi! I’m a proud husky dad who recently moved to Grand Rapids and I’m excited to meet all the fluffy friends in the area. I believe every dog deserves kindness, structure, and a bit of fun along the way. My style? Positive reinforcement with clear boundaries—lots of praise, gentle guidance, exercise, and treats (when earned!). Whether your pup needs a calm walk, some high-energy play, or just someone who gets their quirks, I’m here for it. In my free time, I volunteer at the local shelter walking dogs and helping out however I can. I’ve raised my husky since he was 4 months old—so I understand the ups and downs of house training, daily exercise, and building trust. From basic obedience to fun tricks like “play dead,” I’ve trained my own dog with patience and love. I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and fun environment where dogs feel at home—even when they’re away from it. If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your dog like family, I’d love to help. Let me know what your pup needs—I’ll take care of the rest. 🐾 As a house dad, I have a flexible and consistent schedule while my partner works full time. I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM, which makes me a great fit for weekday walks, drop-in visits, or play sessions. I’m looking to use that time for something active and meaningful—and spending it with dogs is the perfect way. Please note: I’m currently unavailable for boarding, but I’m happy to provide dependable daytime care during the week. I know how much your dog means to you—mine means the world to me too. I keep things calm and easy so your pup feels safe and relaxed. I take my time, earn their trust, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy the whole time we’re together.

About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs! Large and small so I’m comfortable with any type. I’ve watched dogs for many family members and friends. Me and my husband just adopted our sweet puppy, Duckie! we absolute love him and have had so much fun working with him! I just recently graduated from GVSU and am moving in to full time work in the medical field. I work 7am-3:30pm which allows me to have plenty of time in the later afternoon/evening to care for your pup! My husband is also home during the day between work and school so we are able to accommodate dogs who may need potty breaks more frequently! I pay special attention to the needs of the pets I have owned and cared for. All pets have varied needs and I understand that! I do my very best to accommodate those needs and pay close attention to the owners instructions on how to care for their baby!

About: I've had experience caring for pets most of my life, from taking care of family dogs, sitting for friends and family, and caring for my friends cat that I currently live with. I work full time during the week from about 8 am - 4 pm. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I am available during those days to sit, do drop-ins, or take walks. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during the other week days after my work hours. My weekends are free and my schedule can be planned as you need. I treat all animals as if they are my own or someone's close to me. I love all types of dogs and cats and would be thrilled to get the chance to help you and make sure they're happy and well cared for!

“Leah is a great dog sitter/walker! The informative report cards and pictures of my pups made me feel much more comfortable during my trip. She is very professional and my pups love her!”

“Very kind to our Senior German Shepherd/Lab Dog who needs a sniff-fest slow walk nowdays and someone to see during a long day. Very reliable for our recurring weekly service. Relieves my mind to know our old girl doggie is well cared for with a visit during the day and not so lonely.”

About: Welcome to Riverside Park! My husband, Nick, and I have both been caring for animals since we were children. As educators, we have the flexibility to meet your pet's needs on your schedule. Whether your pet needs daily check it's, walks, or a place to stay while you're away, we are ready to accommodate! At our home, we have a small yard perfect for potty breaks and tug-o-war. We are also minutes away from the stunning Riverside Park, where our 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Fela (female, spayed), loves to get tuckered out on our daily walks. We can't wait to meet you and your pet! Let's find a time to see if it would be a good fit :) We are off for the summer, so we are able to work around your schedule! We are available for daily walks, feeding, check-ins, and boarding. Pick up and drop off available for a small fee. Please let us know ahead of time a little bit about your pet, including any special needs, so we can be prepared to care for them. We want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable! We want to respect your space and your pet's needs. For check-ins and walks, if your dog prefers not to have company, our dog Fela does not need to accompany us. However, it is still a good idea to arrange an initial meeting between us, you, and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For boarding, please arrange a time for us and our dogs get introduce to one another to ensure our house is a good fit. You are welcome to come see our home to make sure it is safe for your furry friend, and/or we are happy to meet at the park first if that is more comfortable.

About: Hey! I'm Jason! Nice to meet you! Every dog requires unique love and attention. I will provide a kind and loving home for your dog whether they stay with me or at your house. I will make sure to treat him or her like one of my own, no questions asked! My schedule is very flexible. However, there are certain instances where I may have to step out for a bit and return. If this happens, I will keep you in the loop the entire time. I know how dear our pets can be and will take the best care possible to ensure their safety and well being. Whether it’s a long walk around the park a game of fetch, or naps on the couch you can rest easy knowing that your dog is in good hands!

“Super sweet & nice, did an awesome job!”

“Our little Cavapoo loved having Julia stop by to take her for a walk and have some playtime. Julia was very punctual, she took note of all of our instructions, and provided excellent care for our girl. She sent us a great update after the walk with detailed info on the visit and some great pictures of our happy dog. I know our pup is going to look forward to Julia’s next visit!”
