“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”
“Amanda took great care of our boys over a long weekend! She updated us regularly and every additional time we asked. She was timely and did everything we requested of her. We came home to extremely happy boys!”
“Gru and I love Paige! She was able to stay and look after my giant puppy right after the holidays. She was so kind, a great communicator, and made sure to send pictures. I knew he was in great hands! Thank you, Paige.”
“Lilly was a great communicator, sent daily pictures, and followed all care instructions. Came home to a happy pup and spotless home. Will work with Lilly in the future and would recommend her to others.”
About: I grew up on a hobby farm, and have taken care of dogs, cats, cows and many other animals. I love all animals, big or small, young or old. They are all my favorite. (Going to be honest, reptiles are not my forte) I’m currently not working right now and I’m going through an internship through my church, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I’m available pretty much at any point. If I am to be gone during the day, it would only be for a couple hours. If your furry friend just needs to be let out and walked for the day that’s totally fine. I personally, am someone that enjoys my own space and is comfortable in my own area, and I believe animals are similar. By keeping them in their own space and comfortable with their own surroundings, I feel, it makes them not feel as anxious. I would like to treat the animals exactly as its owner would.
“Shirley was very professional. She set up a meeting in advance to meet with our puppy, Henry, and she then was there when we needed her. She took very good care of Henry and sent us pictures while we were gone. We will definitely have Shirley again when we need a sitter for Henry.”
“Nick is truly the best! Nick is a great guy and so trustworthy. We left our yellow lab, Bodi with Nick for 5 days and came back to a spotless house and a well taken care of dog. Nick was thoughtful enough to give us daily updates on how things were going along with pictures. He is truly a natural with dogs and can tell how much he loves animals, our Bodi took to him right away. Definitely will be requesting Nick for future dog care and highly recommend him. Nick is a true gem who went above and beyond without being asked.”
“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Absolutely phenomenal, did great with both of the pups, and even the cat who sometimes doesn’t like people. Numerous photos throughout her stay and always keeping us informed throughout the day. Very highly recommend and will be booking again.”
About: I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I’d give my own. What sets me apart is my intentionality — I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, whether it’s a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet that requires a calm companion. I’ve provided care during holidays, followed detailed medication schedules, and even kept houseplants thriving while clients were away. I’m communicative, clean, and genuinely enjoy creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine — I genuinely enjoy it and plan my days around giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding routines, I stay flexible and dependable. I also build in time for play, snuggles, and cleanup to make sure every visit feels intentional and relaxed. I treat pet care as more than just a task — it’s a rhythm I enjoy and a responsibility I take seriously. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and create a calm, familiar environment for the pets. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding routines to preferred walking routes — and make sure pets feel safe, seen, and relaxed. I lock up securely, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and provide detailed updates so clients always know how things are progressing. My goal is to maintain a peaceful, clean, and trustworthy atmosphere — one that is both for the pets and their owners.
“Thalia was incredibly involved and kind with my dog Alaska. She listened to my concerns and ensured that my pet was well taken care of. She went above and beyond, and I will be using her services again.”
“If you’re looking for a GREAT pet sitter, book Michelle. She was prompt, a good communicator and took very good care of my two babies. I definitely plan to book with her again.”
“Taylor was fantastic! We received regular updates & pictures throughout her stay. Our trio made some sketchy choices & she handled them like a champ! We arrived home to a tidy space and very happy dogs! We can’t wait for her to return!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life, ever since I was a child. Since the beginning of September 2022 I have also been working at a doggie daycare/boarding/grooming facility. On top of all of this I have also watched my friends and families ever since I could drive around to there houses (16 years old). I would love to help make your life easier by taking care of your pets as well! I am currently a full-time student as well as a part-time worker and would love to add more pet care to my schedule. I can have more pet care in the mornings I dont work, the evenings and on the weekends! I live in an apartment complex with my two cats, dog, and two guinea pigs. While your animals won't interact with mine, they would love it! In a clients home it is allabout making sure your pet is loved and cared for while you are gone. I will make sure your pet gets the quality time they need while you are gone. I am currently a part-time voice teacher in Grand Rapids as I just moved back to Michigan. I am not gone longer than 4 hours at a time typically. My main services are done in the clients home. This works really well for pets as it doesn’t disrupt their routine while their parents are away. I do my best to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether that involves playing or snuggling on the couch.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own. My kids and I have been dog sitting for Neighbors pets for going on 3 years. I have been dog sitting for a previous employer of mine for 10 years! I am a retail manager working full time, however I have flexible hours… I get plenty of interaction with people - never enough with animals! I have teenage children and friend living with me that works from home to help me with my pets so I can help you with yours! While caring for your fur baby I’d be following whatever your normal routine would look like to help them stick to routines and be comfortable as well. I really enjoy going on walks and being outside. However, I am totally okay with just hanging out with them at home and playing with them out in the yard as well!
“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Tony was amazing. He is kind and took great care of our fur babies. They took to him right away during our meet and greet. I highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school - from walking and playing outside to staying overnight to keep the dog company! I love all types of dogs! I just moved back to Michigan & did Rover in our previous state of living! I am currently working full time but have evenings & some weekends open! Currently we are staying with our parents who do not have a fenced in backyard, but we will hopefully be moving into our own house soon where we will have a fenced in yard! We do have a male yellow lab who loves running around & playing with other dogs!
