Dog Sitting Coopersville

About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable animal lover who has had dogs my whole life and has experience owning and caring for a puppy. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for animals. I believe in treating every pet like family by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules and individual needs, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for, comfortable, and right at home! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I can work with pet owners to accommodate their pets’ routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important consistency and attention are for animals, and I’m happy to make their comfort and well-being a priority. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owner is away! I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own and have had dogs my whole life, so I understand the importance of providing animals with love, attention, and proper care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will respect their space, follow the owner’s instructions, and maintain their pets’ usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I’ll also be mindful of doors, gates, and anything that could be unsafe for them. I believe trust and communication are important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to keep owners informed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away!

About: I have always loved animals. My favorite thing to do is go on walks because I get to spend time with my best buddies and I get some excercise myself. All dogs have a unique personality and I love getting the opportunity to get to know each dog. I am a pretty active person myself so I am able to power walk or even run to get the dogs energy out! My schedule is pretty flexible but I prefer mornings and afternoons (morning walks are always peaceful and nice). I am willing to travel to trails and other walking areas to give the dog a new adventure and so they do not get bored with the same walking routine. I think even dogs like to change up where they walk every now and then! My current work schedule is already extremely flexible. I am able to work around any pet care visits and walks. I would love to spend the extra time I have caring for animals as they always make days brighter! Currently I am only doing care at the clients home. We just moved and currently do not have a fence set up yet. Our two dogs listen pretty well so we don’t have to worry about them running off, but I don’t want to risk watching anyone else’s fur baby at our home until we have a fence put up! I am willing to care for pets at the clients home and can promise I won’t make a mess and will clean up after myself and the pet!

About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. As well as drop in visits to feed, walk or let pets out to do their business. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to bath them yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.

About: I grew up with a chocolate lap and a cat. Taught my dog many tricks and the cat not so much haha. I currently have two cats of my own. I worked as a nurse tech for 5 yrs in the hospital setting and went to emt school as well. Currently in college for radiology tech school and just looking for a job I can do in my free time. I’m able to drop in multiple times a day. I’m very flexible and am up early in the morning and tend to stay up somewhat late. I have a fenced in yard that my upstairs neighbor would use for their dog. I keep an eye on my cats with a camera.

About: Growing up my family always owned one or two golden retrievers at a time and instantly fell in love with the breed. I worked at a dog boarding/day care facility for about 3 years. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds along with all sorts of temperaments. With that came taking care of dogs of ALL ages. I’ve handled up to 15 large dogs at a time, also handling cats. Absolutely loved my job and hope to continue working with animals:) I work at a School in Grand Haven, Monday-Friday till around 4p.m. (Sometimes later) So, my evenings are open to walks & drop-ins. My weekends are still available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks! In the summer there is lots more availability! I was lucky enough to grow up with a mom that did full time pet sitting at one point and got to tag along on all her trips. I also pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights, walks, and administering medications, eye drops, pills, ect. So, I know how important it is to be mindful of someone’s else’s home and their four-legged (sometimes three) loved ones.

About: I have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.

“Great job as usual.”

“April did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. Our home was left exactly as we left it and my cats were both very happy. She also sent several photos after each daily check-in, which was a wonderful addition to the visits.”

About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals from the time I could walk. It taught me to read animal behavior instinctively: I can tell when a dog is anxious, overheated, or just needs a good sniff. I'm also animal CPR trained, so I'm prepared if an emergency ever happens. I love dogs, and I treat each one as an individual: their pace, their routine, their quirks. On every walk you can expect: • A photo and a quick update afterward • Careful, secure leash handling, and I double-check every gate and door • Fresh water and a paw wipe when needed • Your instructions followed exactly I'm punctual, I reply quickly, and I treat your home and keys with care. I'm happy to do a free meet and greet first so your dog and I can get comfortable. I keep my schedule limited so every dog gets my full attention. I keep my schedule limited so every pet gets my full attention, and I show up on time, every time. Message me early to lock in weekend and holiday spots. Your pet’s safety comes first on every walk. I'm animal CPR trained, I use secure leash handling, and I double-check every gate and door. I bring water along, send a photo and update after each walk, and treat your home and keys with care.

About: As a Best Friends Animal Society employee🐶, my love for animals bleeds into everything I do. I also work with the local shelters to socialize new animals and manage adoption headshots upon intake. I’ll always take plenty of cute photos of your pet(s) throughout our days together! I work-from-home full time, and have lots of daytime flexibility for lunch time snuggles🐱 and walks🐶, in addition to helping out during your long vacations! I will follow your preferences on crate time, dog park socialization, feeding schedules, and anywhere in between. Our pets love their individual preferences and routines! A neutral public space is key to a successful first meet-and-greet so animals don’t feel territorial of their home and safe spaces.

“Amazing pet sitter! Katelyn kept me updated with messages and pictures while we were gone. She’s very caring and trustworthy. We would definitely recommend and will be rebooking with her in the future.”
