House Sitting in Forest Hills

About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a reliable, organized, patient, and caring animal lover who is excited to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own. 🐾 I enjoy staying active and would love to take your dog on walks, adventures to the park, or simply provide comforting companionship at home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🤍 I recently graduated with my BFA and am currently living in Grand Rapids with a flexible schedule until further notice ☀️ Since I have a lot more flexibility in my day-to-day routine, pet sitting is a perfect fit for me. I love being able to spend my time with animals, get outside for walks, and provide pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your dog needs an active adventure, a little extra playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to make them a part of my daily routine! I am happy to provide everything your pet needs, including playtime, walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, baths, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is to come home to a happy, comfortable pet — and a clean space. My own dogs have a habit of getting into the trash when I’m away, so I know firsthand that unexpected messes happen. I’m more than willing to tidy up and make sure your home is left just as you’d want it.

“Ariel is wonderful. She stayed in our home for 7 days/nights with our 2 dogs (Boxer/10 year old & Sheltie/13 year old). She kept us updated daily with text and pictures while we were traveling. She took them for frequent walks, gave them their arthritis medicine and read with them. They were happy to sleep in the guest room with her, and were so glad to see her when she stopped by after our return home to check-in. She left our house in perfect condition, took in the mail and watered the plants. Ariel is 5-STAR!”

“We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.”

“Cindy did a fabulous job with Pearl! Pearl willingly sat on her lap and snuggled with her - which if you know Pearl - you know that she only really does that with my husband and I. It was a great feeling to be able to go on vacation and not have a single worry about Pearl. Cindy sent regular pictures which we appreciated. We would hire Cindy again in a heartbeat! Thank you soooooooooo much Cindy for the excellent care of Pearl!”

“Lillie was wonderful with our dog Fiona. She was patient and kind and kept in touch with us the whole time. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Our year and 1/2, 170 mastiff absolutely loves Michaela! And I know this because he hasn't stopped looking for her since we got back. She attended to every detail and more. Also she stayed with him at night! It's great knowing our baby has a competent and loving sitter for future needs!”

“Boots loves Kelsey! I really appreciate that she always keeps me updated with photos and check ins and I know Boots is safe and happy with her!”

“I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!”

“Polina stayed in our home with our border collie mix, Willy, for 12 nights. We came home to a happy dog and found everything just as we had left it. Polina updated us with pictures giving us piece of mind that all was well at home. We will definitely book her again!”

“Becki was super responsive and kept us updated with all the pictures during our week away. Arya was happy and well cared for the entire time!”

Abby & Joe S.

“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”

“What a great sitter! We had Anya stay at our house for a couple nights to hang with our dog. She was kind, attentive and communicated great. Sent such great pics throughout and left us a nice note. She kept our girl happy and the house clean. Will definitely use her again if she is willing to”

Lisa P.

“Deborah was fantastic! She watched my 10 year old rescue lab mix for a week, who required daily meds and lots of attention. She made adjustments to make sure she kept up with regular meds and eating. She also provided frequent updates and pictures! ❤️ Highly recommend!”

“James did a wonderful job with our two dogs. We came into town for a Celebration of Life, and found a trustworthy sitter in James. Thank you!”

About: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.

“Thank you!”
