Dog Sitting Fruitport

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.

“Sweetest girl! My cat never comes out for strangers and he actually played with her! My dog loved her immediately. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with pets, and she booked with me pretty last minute she’s a life saver!”

About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work part time out of the house and part time in my home. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.

About: Though I primarily grew up with cats, I’ve always loved dogs and worked through a dog walking company a few years ago (the only reason I stopped was due to my vehicle being totaled after hitting black ice on the highway). I loved getting to know the personalities and tricks for each dog to keep them happy on walks and visits. For the last four years I’ve been working as a massage therapist and I often miss getting to interact with animals on a daily basis (aside from the ones at home that is). I understand the need for a caring and competent person to interact with and meet the needs of your furry loved one when your at work (or on vacation, etc.) and I am the person to show them that love and compassion. Im currently working part time at the end of the week so I have a good amount of time to take care of your fur baby. Though I'm not able to currently house or take care of pets at this moment, I have my two kitties at home that receive lots of love and attention.

“Emily did a great job with our three dogs. You can tell she loves all the animals she takes care of and treats them as if they are here own:)”

“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations. Our cats are pretty shy when it comes to new people but they loved her instantly! We are so grateful for taylor! ❤️”

“Katherine was flexible with her schedule on a day my wife and I hosted a golf outing for charity. She sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease during what is typically a very high stress day for us. This year went better than ever and we couldn’t have done it with out Katherine’s help!”

About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since age 9, including walking, bathing, feeding, medicating, and LOVING! I’ve done drop in care and overnight stays for friends and neighbors out of town and haven’t met a pup I didn’t adore. Please let me be friends with your furry baby :) I work from home Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm so I’m really flexible. I can bring my computer and hang out with your pet for a while or stop in for a little bit, whichever makes you and your pet most comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to maintain their routine and comfort. I follow all instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and respect your space.

About: I have 10 years experience watching hobby farms. Most of my time is spent watching pigs and chickens. I worked at a horse farm this past year handling 40+ horses a day. I frequently administer meds to various animals. I have a very flexible schedule to ensure your pets needs are met. I currently work for myself and can adjust my schedule according to your needs. I typically do 2-3 visits for daytime and need up to 6 hours at any point in the day for work. I prefer to spend as much time as possible with your pet to ensure their routine does not change and can adjust my schedule accordingly.

I know pets are more than just animals—they’re family and loyal companions who bring us joy every day. With me, your furry friends will be safe, happy, and surrounded by lots of affection. I have free time to help you so that your pet is not alone while you work or study, happy to help. I am currently studying Illustration at KVCC I care for my pets by making sure they have everything they need to feel safe, healthy, and happy. 🐾 I keep them on a regular feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and give them plenty of playtime and exercise. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs—whether they want cuddles, quiet time, or a walk outside.

About: I have Grown up with dogs around me my whole life. They bring me so much joy, they would be in good hands in my care! When I care for pets, I make sure all their needs are met. I love playing with dogs and taking them for walks. I make sure to treat all dogs like they are my own! I will make sure to visit the houses that need watching! Walking them when needed, and ensuring my services are quality and live up to what we promised to offer.

About: I have an older pup with health issues so i understand the need to have the times and certain circumstances prioritized! For kitties i understand it’s hard for them to warm up and i am very patient and want them to feel comfortable regardless of where they are! I work 12am-12:30pm saturday through monday so during the week i have some down time and what better way to fill it than watch some cuties! For Dogs: I take the pups out on leashes but if you have a fenced yard i can obviously watch them and play with them outside that way! With owner permission i can take them to the dog parks and get more energy out that way! i do not mind dogs getting dirty and then getting in my car. For Cats: I can bring some toys, cat nip, and treats if allowed! I want them to feel comfortable in either their own environment with me there or in my home. Change can be a lot of them but i want all kitties to feel welcomed and calm with me!

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 owned and taken care of animals my entire life, I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats including walking, bathing, feeding, and so much more! I also have experience in basic training for younger animals and I am also able to care for senior animals such as giving medication or treating them with the extra care they deserve! I'm currently a full time student at Northern Michigan University, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I prioritize your pets safety and will never leave them out of my sight or unattended. I will take upmost care and consideration when it comes to keeping your pets healthy, safe, and happy.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up caring for our Boxers, Pitbulls, Dash Hounds and Chihuahuas. We also had horses and at one point a bunny. I really enjoy walking and training all sorts of animals! I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of time early in the week to help with puppos.(All dogs are just big puppos at heart.) I am very flexible and mobile. I currently live somewhere where I can't have more animals, so pet care at my home is a no go, however I am more than happy to stick to any routines your pet may have in your own home and make sure they get plenty of attention.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I spent 7+ years in a professional kennel providing daily care, playtime, and light training—basically a full-time tail-wagging consultant. At home, I’ve trained and raised two German Shepherds as service K-9s, including my senior shepherd, who keeps me on my toes (and sometimes on the couch!). I also have experience with reactive or challenging dogs, as well as breeds that require extra patience and skill. I’ve fostered dogs, cared for puppies, and been a trusted pet and house sitter for many years, giving me the ability to adapt to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, calm companionship, or managing tricky situations, I treat every pet like family… and sometimes part of my comedy routine. I’m excited to be new to the Grand Haven area and am looking forward to making pet care a big part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate regular walks, playtime, or longer visits as needed. Weekdays and weekends are both open for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work with pets of all ages and energy levels. I’d love to become a reliable, go-to caregiver for local pets and their families, so I’m open to recurring bookings or longer-term arrangements. Your furry friends will get consistent care, plenty of love, and someone who truly enjoys being around them every day! Pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, secure space with consistent routines, supervision, and plenty of play and enrichment. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments, including reactive or high-energy pets, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own, building trust through patient, loving care.

About: I have lived in a house hold full of animals since I was born. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my childhood home and 2 cats at my now apartment! Nothing makes me happier than caring for and being around animals, I am very active and love being outdoors. I have had multiple jobs of dog and house sitting for coworkers and church member! I am currently working full time as a receptionist and nail technician at a local salon in grand haven. But have pretty open schedule on the mornings I do not work! My free time is filled with being active and dog/house sitting but I am still open to taking care of more animal families in need! I offer drop in visits at clients homes, but not my own since I live in an apartment. These visits can consist of feeding, letting outside, playing, or any other needs to make your animals happy!

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!
