About: I have been watching animals for over 13 years now and there has never been an animal I haven't been able to connect with. It's truly a gift, that clients have recognized throughout my services. Being able to connect with animals and taking care of them is my passion; they are truly our saviors! I am doing animal care full time now. I really have an open schedule for various animal care needs. I am open to any challenge! 😀 I have a fenced in back yard and a safe, clean home. I am a relaxed and easy-going person, I will treat your house with respect and care, making no messes.
“We have a newer rescue dog that is very timid and very nervous. Autummn has gone above and beyond to make her comfortable and gain her trust. I feel so much comfort knowing I have someone like Autummn to look after my animals with such love and care!”
“Jamie is so good with Winston! She was very careful to understand his special needs and quirks. We are so happy to have had her help us and would definitely recommend her to my friends! :-)”
“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”
“Jennifer is great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she was available short notice from us which we appreciated! Thanks for taking care of our fur baby Jennifer!”
About: I’ve been a dog person my entire life, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I love spending time with them, whether it’s for walks, play, training, or simply giving attention and companionship. I’m confident reading dog body language, approaching them in ways that help them feel safe, and tailoring my care to each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced in all aspects of daily care, including feeding, exercise, administering medications, and maintaining routines. Above all, I genuinely enjoy building connections with dogs and ensuring they feel happy, loved, and secure while their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule and can work around your pet’s needs. Daily walks, special routines, or last-minute care — I’m happy to make it happen so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality, helping them feel at ease in my presence. Whether in my home or at the client’s home, I ensure their surroundings are secure and calm, and I provide consistent attention, care, and reassurance so pets feel relaxed and happy while in my care.
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and currently have both a dog and a kitten of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets! I work in healthcare, which has made me very responsible, attentive, and detail oriented. I have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving environment while keeping you updated for peace of mind :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and kitten every day. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. Because I work in healthcare, I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to reliably commit to the pets I’m caring for. I make sure to dedicate quality time for visits, walks, and check-ins so pets aren’t rushed and receive my full attention. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I prioritize consistency, safety, and making sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can keep their environment as consistent and stress free as possible. This includes feeding schedules, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely while giving pets companionship and reassurance while their family is away. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with supervision and structured routines so pets feel secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own!
About: I have several years of experience with dogs while growing up, I have two dogs of my own right now; Atticus and Kaya. I promise your animals will be taken cared of and loved on. My work schedule is a bit usual, I’ll have days off during the week and weekend, it’s different every week but I’ll keep my schedule updated. My babies go out every 1-2 hours, fed in the morning and evening with snacks and snuggles in between. I adore my dogs and I will love on yours.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 7 months, that included playtime, grooming, and training. I have always had a dog and a cat in my home growing up, and I strive to continue my future with caretaking animals. I will always try my best to make your animal as comfortable and happy as possible! I have no job currently, this would be my main priority, I am counting this as my job at the moment so my full attention is on pet sitting. I have a dog in my home she’s very sweet that can give company and if not she can be away from the fur baby, and I have a dog park technically in my back yard that is fenced.
About: I am willing to take care of all animals. Any kind, size, breed or age. I am available for daily walking, drop-in visits & house sitting. I am currently a stay at home mom. Being home full-time allows my availability to be quite flexible; including but not limited to nights, weekends and holidays. A little about me: I own a home in Norton Shores with my husband of 6 years. We have two beautiful & wild boys. Our furry & feathered babies, include: 2 dogs, 2 cats & 5 chickens. I can ensure you that I will take care of your pets & your home with as much care & respect as I do my own!
About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember, from cats and their kittens, to hamsters and Guinea pigs, squirrels, mice and of course dogs. I’ve had a few cats of my own and currently have an almost 9 year old pitbull and 10 year old cat. I also have experience with deaf animals (I had a beautiful deaf American bulldog Staffordshire terrier mix) and am very comfortable giving medications/shots. My dog is also reactive so I’m very familiar handling those kinds of situations. I’ve always thrived around animals and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving on as many as I can. I’m open to anything, walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home. If your pets are happy so am I! I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and I’m hoping to get as many hours with animals as I can get! I am only looking to go to others homes, my home is not big enough for a large crowd of animals unfortunately. I am more than happy to drive to/stay at others homes to take care of their fur babies. I treat every animal like they are my own and follow owners guidelines very closely
“We love having Kristen help us out with our dog Mae. She follows instructions perfectly and has helped us a lot with reinforcing training commands. Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work various hours, but I have lots of moments of free time that I love to spend with animals. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.
About: If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment, drop ins for other dogs, or maybe a date night. We have 3 rescue kitties, who are like my tiny babies, very spoiled. Bam- who loves to help walk all the pups, and my girls- Pumpkin, and Elsa- who try to avoid visiting dogs at ALL cost. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. We also have Cash- a 1.5 year old, 30lb. Cocker Spaniel- who likes to think he’s a 125lb Husky. He hasn’t met a dog, big or small, he doesn’t like. We have a new pup, a female cocker spaniel, Carter. She’s 8 months now, she has appointed herself Official Play Time Supervisor of any and all dog guest- your pups will go home tired. Occasionally our daughter’s Boston Terrier, Franklin will visit, he hasn’t met a person, dog, or cat, he doesn’t like. He’s truly the best boy. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so. Animal caretaking is my full time job and my family is 1000% okay with that. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t want to bring home with me. We just moved from Sparta to Ravenna, and we’re now on 3 acres. Your fur baby is invited and encouraged to make our house their home away from home. They will be well spoiled and loved, as my entire family will be doting on them.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have had experience with personal animals as well as house and dog sitting for others. I have working in healthcare for a few years. I also have over 12 years of experience with horses! I am currently working part time, available for afternoons, nights and weekends. Also flexible when you need a sitter the most. Also during holidays. :) I plan to take care of your beloved animals, keeping them to their normal routine as much as possible. I plan to keep their environment clean. I hope to take them on walks, and their favorite activities!
“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”
About: Having experience in taking care of animals since I was young and going on to intern at a vet clinic and being a member of FFA, I have learned to have compassion and love to take care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I am currently working weekends, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have interactive fun with pets during the week days and am willing to accommodate whatever they need. With a fenced in lawn I offer a secure and loving home away from home for your furry companion. Prioritizing their safety and well-being in a calm environment with experienced, trustworthy care.
About: I've been caring for friends' and family's pets since high school, and I truly love every kind of animal. Whether it's a tiny pup or a giant breed, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies who need to burn off energy to seniors who need a slower pace and extra patience. Pets aren't just animals to me. They're family, and I treat them like my own. I'm back and taking new clients! I work part-time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible for dog walks and drop-in visits during mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether you need a regular midday walk or a few check-ins while you're out, I can be consistent and reliable so your pet's routine stays on track. All my visits happen at your home, so your pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your instructions exactly, from feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks and walking routes. I always double-check that doors and gates are locked before I leave, and I'll send photo updates after every visit so you know your pet is safe and happy. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert around other dogs, traffic, and wildlife.

Maggie was absolutely amazing! From the initial meet and greet, my dog felt comfortable around her and you could tell she was great with timid dogs. She sends plenty of photos, has timely communication and flexible booking times! Would 10/10 recommend for any of your furry friend needs.
Samantha walked our 3 wheatens for about 3 months. We were delighted to meet her and have her get to know our very energetic kids. They loved seeing her when she drove up to walk them. She is friendly and patient, and we will miss her. Hopefully, we can find another walker who measures up to her abilities and kindness. Thank you, Samantha.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ferrysburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
