House Sitting in Colony Farm, Kalamazoo, MI

“Destiny was a lifesaver for me and Ted. My dog was diagnosed with pneumonia a week before a 5 day trip I had planned meaning he couldn’t be boarded and was contagious to be around other dogs. Destiny came in last minute and saved the day. She handled having to give Ted 5 medications multiple times a day and she did an amazing job. When I came home after a long 5 days, I was expecting an anxious dog who would smother me with needing attention - instead I was met with a well-loved and cared for dog that seemed disappointed I came through the door and not Destiny. I highly recommend Destiny to anybody needing loving care for their pet.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was real little maybe around 10 years old. From walking, sitting, feeding, and playing. I have about 6 months of senior care… I’m currently unemployed. So I’m available all throughout the weekday and weekends at any time you guys will need me. I’m looking into this being full time work. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly black lab and 3 adorable cats to keep your fur baby company. If your baby needs to be crated I can do that.

“Julie is a kind, loving, compassionate friend. Julie, and her husband Joe, are loyal friends and animal lovers. They take exceptional care of their own dogs and others. They know the importance of excercise, balanced nutrition and grooming. Joe and Julie take joy in walking and playing ball or frisbee with their dogs several times daily. They are keenly aware of diet needs and have extensive knowledge and experience grooming. I would not hesitate to leave my 14 year old or my 4 month old Goldens in their care. I know they would be well taken care of and most importantly loved!”

“Shaneel is really great! She was so kind and patient with rescue pitbull who gets very anxious when left alone. She gave hourly updates, kept him entertained, and has been our regular because our pit loves her. Highly recommended!!”

“Courtney took good care of our dog kitty and fish while we were away.”

“Joe is the best! There aren't many people we trust leaving our dog with, but Joe is wonderful and takes great care of our boy, Howard. Whether it's for a weekend, or his weekly visit, Howard is always excited to see Joe and comes home happy and worn out. I always have the peace of mind knowing that Joe is giving Howard the care, love, exercise and play time he deserves.”

“Ryan is WONDERFUL!!! From the meet and greet, to sending lots of pictures and videos during my time away, to how happy my two old huskies were when I arrived home, Ryan just far exceeded my expectations. I sort of hate to write such a glowing review because I would like to keep Ryan all to myself, but excellence must be recognized and shared! I have a quirky little husky lady and Ryan was so gentle and patient with her and they became fast friends. 110% recommend Ryan!!”

“Elliott is a very caring individual. He is responsible, timely, and detail oriented. He has experience dog sitting for family members. He is absolutely pawfect!”

“We absolutely fell in love with Christy (and her family) as well as our Judge! We can’t be more pleased with the level of care she gave our fur baby! We will continue to have her!?”

“Gabriella watched our 2 dogs recently for 7 days. She kept us updated on how they were doing, kept the house tidy and was very kind. The whole package. Our dogs loved her. She will be our top pick for the next time our fur-babies need a sitter!”

“She did a great job with our puppy and cat’s while we were gone for 48 hours. She stayed in communication with us and kept us updated on how things were going!”

“Mya was great! She was communicative and so nice! She did an amazing job with my pup and I felt confident leaving him in her care. She sent pictures and updates, and I comfortable that she was providing my pup the best care. Highly recommend!!”

“Theresa was so great with our dog! She was so patient and understanding of his high maintenance personality (high energy and some separation anxiety). She had a great level of communication with us during her stay which put us at ease while we were away. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends to trust with their fur babies!”

“Lauren was amazing with my two cats and two dogs. Both of my dogs are seniors and take medication and she had no issues with administering that each day. She sent regular updates with pictures which was so comforting. My animals adjusted to her very well and we will be using her again!”

“Aya did a wonderful job taking care our dog and cat! She is kind, trustworthy and our pets love her! I highly recommend Aya for pet sitting. ?”

“Rachel is amazing, she worked with our anxious dog and sent a perfect amount of updates. Our dog had tummy troubles and she was fantastic and flexible with needing to change his schedule, diet, and the amount he was being let out. 15/10 would recommend”

“Delaney was very professional and sweet. She took very good care our our 2 small dogs and 1 cat. She arrived on time and even sent us a picture with our dogs on her lap! We love our pets and she did a great job. I would hire her again!! Thank you SO much!!”

About: I have over 18 years of animal care experience being raised on my families ranch, we had horses, dogs, cats, chickens and more! I've helped raise/train several dogs over the years and had to be responsible for several litters of puppies and kittens. I've had to take care of elderly dogs and cats my entire life, I know how to best make pets comfortable and keep them happy while you're away. I love animals and I'd love to take care of your pet! No animal is too big, I've raised temperamental horses and Pitbull's that started out trying to eat me. I'm a student at Western Michigan University for Aviation Management and operations, I take classes during the day that are sometimes online and sometimes in person. I'm easily able to fit your pet visit into my schedule and I'm available almost every day! Depending what the owner tells me about their pet, I'd always start slow by giving the animal some food or a treat to gain a little bit of trust. If the pet likes attention and wants to play I'm more than happy to accommodate and wear them out with my brought or provided toys! I'm all about keeping your pet happy and content, whether they want to climb all over me or like their personal space, I'm well versed in all forms of taking care of animals!

“Amor is a nightmare of a dog with so much energy and no manners! But she absolutely adores Reed and Natalie.. and seems to be one of the only times she calms down and behaves herself. 10000000% recommend them to anyone who needs their pets looked after!”

“"El Gulley is a responsible pet caregiver. I have had her pet sit for me numerous times. She has administered medication daily to my elderly dogs while I was away from home without incident. She would make a wonderful edition to your team."”
