About: ***HOUSE SITTING REQUESTS PLEASE READ BELOW - MY DOG HOUSE SITS WITH ME *** Hey there, thank you for checking out my page! My name is Joie, I am 24 and I have a huge heart for animals. I just graduated from Grand Valley State University for Wildlife Biology and Natural Resources Management. I have always loved animals since I was a kid, and now I have a dog and a cat of my own. I started dog sitting before Rover for friends and neighbors and since then I have loved the job and wanted to help others in the community! I have always been super involved with animals, I have lots of volunteering under my belt at John Ball Zoo and through GV's Pre-Vet club. I've also previously worked hands on with hundreds of patients at two vet offices. I'd love to hang out with your pets, play, cuddle and pose for photos! (Check out my posted photos to get an idea of the pics you’d receive if you booked with me!) If you're interested in booking with me, just know that I'm working full-time, but as long as we stay in communication, we can work out a plan that suits both of us. I try to be as flexible, reliable, and dedicated to providing the best care for your pets as I can be. *** HOUSE SITTING DISCLAIMER *** I want to be as transparent as possible about my house sitting services. Since I have my own dog, she will be coming with me for this service. This might not make me the best fit for every household, especially if there are pets or people who might not be comfortable with another dog in the space. I always prioritize the comfort and well-being of your home and pets, so if this arrangement isn’t ideal, I completely understand. Rosie is a 5yo, 50lb high-energy dog who is trained and has been well-socialized at dog parks and helping me with house sitting. She loves to play and also does great around cats. If you’re interested, we can arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone gets along. Pet care is second nature to me and is a part of my and my animals' everyday life. Once I learn your pet's routine, each visit will flow even more smoothly than the last! I like to make sure that both the pets and the owner know that they are in good hands. Good communication is key! It definitely helps the stay go smoothly.

“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”

“Rae-Lynn was great with Bella. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Although it ended up not needing Kate, her patience and u deranging of our circumstances was wonderful. We look forward to using her in the future.”

Rosalie K.

“Anna was great! She cared for our dog, gave detailed daily updates and sent lots of pictures. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Will be requesting another house sitting service soon!”

Chandler G.

“Carolyn took wonderful care of our old boy, Teddy. She was an excellent communicator! We especially appreciated her attentiveness to Teddy's medication schedule. We will definitely invite Carolyn back! Highly recommend!”

Kelly D.

“Alli is truly an exceptional pet sitter! We felt totally confident that our dog and home were in great hands. Alli is responsible, trustworthy, and incredibly caring. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and a very clean house! Alli truly went above and beyond—not only with the loving care she gave our pup, but also with the attention she gave our home. Everything was so clean and thoughtfully cared for. Our dog struggles with anxiety during fireworks and thunderstorms, and Alli watched her over the 4th of July weekend. It was clear that she provided comfort, patience, and calm throughout—our dog was relaxed and happy when we got home, which means the world to us. Alli is thoughtful, communicative, and respectful, and we are beyond grateful for the amazing care she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and detail-oriented sitter. Thank you so much, Alli—you made our trip stress-free and our return such a joy! We hope to book with you again and again!”

About: Growing up with family dogs to now having one of my own, I am entirely familiar with routine walking, feeding, bathing, transporting and/or administering medications for dogs of all ages. In my 12+ years as a dog/house sitter, I have worked closely with dogs from puppy stage to late senior. From Great Dane to Dachshund, Pit Bull to Poodle, plenty of French Bulldogs and anything in between, I am comfortable meeting your pets' needs in terms of routine and exercise! Whether you are a single dog family, doubled or even tripled, I'm confident in caring for your fur baby. I work best with pets who are able to be alone for up to 8 hours, considering that on Monday-Thursday I am away from the house for up to 8 hours. However, Friday - Sunday I am home and present. I will adapt to whatever familiar rhythm you and your pet have at home. I do my best to mimic the routines you have in place in terms of feeding times, potty breaks, walk and sleep schedule to the best that my own schedule allows.
