“Abby stayed with our 2 dogs during our week long spring break trip. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the week, and it seems like our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy & healthy pups and a clean house.”


“He did an excellent job house sitting while I was away and taking care of my cats during that time. Was very nice and provided frequent updates for my cats.”



“Sara was wonderful. Our pup is very scared of new people and greeted Sara immediately. She kept us updated with lots of pics and I felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of while we were away.”


“Pamela was AMAZING! This was our first big trip away from Hank, and she took such amazing care of him. He stayed on his puppy schedule and we came back to a happy, tired out pup! Will be hiring Pamela for all trips in the future!”


“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”


“Cortney did a fantastic job watching our kittens, Tiffany & Co, in our home. She communicated often about how my girls were doing and shared some great pictures and videos. I'd book her again!”


“Elyse did a great job with our fur babies! Our dog is reactive and Elyse handled a 'strange dog' situation well. She communicated well (she asked me to ask her for updates) with photos and updates. I look forward to having her pet sit again!”


“Mimi continues to be a trustworthy sitter for our dogs and does a great job with their medicine schedule and working with our one pup’s reactivity. She is an excellent communicator and we look forward to the next time she’ll watch our dogs!”


“Had an awesome experience with Molly and her dog Izzi! She sent photos and videos throughout dog sitting at my apartment, which eased my nervousness of leaving her alone for the first time. She did really well with my dog and her social anxiety. I will definitely be rehiring her again for future needs! 10/10 Highly recommended.”


About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.

“Haylee was a great communicator and made me confident that my animals were taken care of! She asked questions and made sure my animals had the best care while I was away. Thank you for taking on the job at the last minute!”


“Madison did a great job while we were gone on vacation. She was very reliable and communicated through out our trip. We would definitely use Madison again!”
