About: As a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience in both general and emergency practices, I bring a unique level of skill, knowledge, and compassion to every pet I care for. I’m trained in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m confident in giving medications, and managing senior pets with special needs. I also have experience working with puppies—including potty training, crate training, and building confidence with positive reinforcement. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and in need of a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Beyond my clinical background, I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that pets are family. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. I understand how important trust is when someone else is looking after your pet, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working full time, but I am able to take time out of my day to let your animals out throughout the day! On weekends I can stay with them full time! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to maintain their usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and bedtime routines, and I always take time to bond with your pet through play, snuggles, or quiet companionship depending on their needs and personality. As a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets with medical conditions, anxiety, or special requirements. I make sure your home stays tidy, your pet feels loved, and you stay updated with regular messages and photos. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I have grown up taking care of puppies and dogs in our family my entire life including Potty & Behavioral Training. We have an amazing yellow lab named Buddy that I adore and love caring for every day! He is a member of our family and we love including him in all of our outdoor activities and trips. A lot of our friends and family rely on us for dog care, walks, help with training and overnight pet care which we love! I am at home during the day with a big fenced yard right next to a huge park so we are the perfect choice for dog sitting, walking, boarding, etc 😄 100% safe environment and care for your pet. I know that our pets are important and loved members of the family and I will treat your pup just like they were my own! I am a consultant and work remotely so I have plenty of time to do drop-in visits, walks and pet care during the week and on weekends! I spend a great deal of time getting to know the best way to interact with the animals I care for in order to build a trusting relationship with both pets and their owners.

About: I love hanging out with all kinds of dogs and cats! Love going on car rides and taking them places too if they like! Especially getting pup cups! I work at a school and coach sports! I also play sports on some evenings and or night but always find time for your fur friends! I am a trustworthy pet sitter and house sitter! I will help take care the lawn and plants if needed! I clean up pretty well before leaving!

About: (Updated 7/25/2025) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 14+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve raised my own pup for the past 4 years, helped care for my childhood dog from puppy to senior, and frequently cared for family dogs along the way. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits—and no matter the service, your pet will get the same love and attention I give my own. I work a full-time job (8–5, Mon–Fri), so I’m available for walks or visits outside those hours, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. While I can’t host pets in my apartment, I’m more than happy to care for your pup in the comfort of their own home. I offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I’ll do my best to visit every 3–6 hours depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to feed, cuddle, walk, play, and give oral medications—whatever your dog needs to feel safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to love on your fur baby like they’re my own!

About: I love dogs and always have. I consider myself a dog whisperer because I can get even the most aggressive dogs to feel comfortable and play with me. I always had a dog growing up and have my own 2 year old girl lab. I work in office Monday-Wednesday 8-4pm, and am remote Thursday and Friday. I have weekend availability. I have 2 dogs of my own and am looking to get another soon! I know my boundaries and always make sure the pet is safe. Leashed walks, play time, snuggles, and yes I always pick up after my pet.


About: I have ten plus years of pet care experience. I Have handled small lap dogs to large hunting dogs, they are all a joy to work with. I have a full time 1st shift job. I will still be with rover part time. I do not have any training certifications but I can teach basic commands. I am especially patient, honest, hard working, and self motivated. I would love to establish a clientele of people who care about their pets and would like me to provide extra exercise and attention. I have a spacious 4 bed house with fenced in back yard. I would like you to know I currently have 4 pets. A Siberian husky, King Charles spaniel, & 2 cats that prefer the cool, quiet basement. Hope this helps, thanks. Being a pet owner I understand the workload and inflexibility when it comes to back up care when needed. I have a few hours to spare a day and would love to help. I have 4 fur babies, Husky, Cavalier, & 2 cats! I have a fenced in back yard and crates available for alone time. I understand that each pet and owner are unique and would love to care for your pet based on their needs and your standards.

About: My husband gifted me with Raphael, my beloved English Cream Retriever, five years ago on my 50th birthday. Since then, dogs have been my focus and passion. They're unconditional love is a precious gift, and I adore taking care of them. I also love to make homemade dog food & treats for my clients. I work part-time from home. I set my schedule, so it's easy to break away for doggie walks, love, & play. We live close to the beach and trails so we stay active and enjoy being outside no matter the weather. We have a large fenced-in yard in a quiet, country setting close to Saugatuck, with tons of wooded trails nearby for walking your pup if needed.

About: I have taken care of a large variety of pets from German shepherds to weiner dogs, Mainecoon to Persian and even chickens! I especially love cuddly animals and dogs who like to hike! I try to love pets as if I’m their fun aunt! My personal cat recently passed at the age of 18, so pet sitting has become even more sentimental. I will walk (wish I could say run, but I’m just not athletically inclined), feed, bathe and snuggle. I have experience with puppies but also love the slow oldies. I’m a full time nanny for 4 children under 5, so don’t be afraid, I’m hard to overwhelm! I’m a nanny Monday-Thursday, as well as a part time virtual student. I work from 8-4 so I can do weekdays if your pet is used to a working schedule. Otherwise long weekends are more my language for those higher maintenance fur balls! I am experienced with non-other-dog-friendly dogs and overall anxious pets. I am a very tidy and organized person so if you have a higher maintenance routine I usually don’t mind.


About: First off, I am that person who constant smiles when seeing a dog. I have always enjoyed them and the happiness they bring. What I offer is dog walking, drop in dog care and house sitting. I can stay as for as long as you need. My family dog growing up was Jake the blue healer/ lab mix. He was a great dog and brought tons of joy. Never turned down walks or play time and belly rubs. Currently my wife I have an 90 pound lab/mastiff mix who is 6 and a 65 pound German Shorthair Pointer who is 4 years old. Both have tons of personality and are huge lovers. I have experience with caring for dogs big and small with different personalities. I think it is important to interact and play with a dog. While I’m looking for extra money, it’s more about being able to help someone and their dog out. I honestly hope can help you and your dogs and if you need anything just let me know. I have open availability in the mornings and most weekends, I work part time Monday-Thursday, 2:00-6:00pm but otherwise am usually available. I am happy to work around what you need as far as a schedule. My pets have a fenced in yard, both have been crate trained so I do have experience with that as far as getting dogs into crates is concerned.
