“Sabrina was such a blessing to our family for the last few months! She was completely reliable and took such great care of our Jed, she truly understood his needs. Our senior dog needed to be let out during the day and have someone just spend time with him so he could get out some energy. Sabrina came and took such great care of him and took the cutest pictures. I would recommend her for any type of pet sitting. We will be reaching back out in the future when I’m back at work and our kid gets into daycare!”


“Katelyn is amazing. We receive detailed notes about her visit with our sweet Riley. The pics are affirmation that our fur baby is loved and cares for.”

“Very simple transaction. The pups really liked, Abigail💜”


“Marion was wonderful! Took excellent care of our big baby. She communicated and let us know how he was doing. Wonderful experience. We would use again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.


“Brittani was excellent, she was so great with our pups during their check in and provided a detailed summary of everything to put our minds at ease.”


“We were so happy to have Kare drop in to visit our cats while we were away. She kept us up to date and even sent some pictures. We will 100% book her again for our next trip!”


About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.


About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!

“Brittney did a great job taking care of our boy! She was always on time and very communicative. Will absolutely use her again!”


“Katie was great with our kitties. Very flexible and accommodating with some last minute needs and they seemed to be in great hands.”


About: My name is Chelsea. I am a United States Navy Veteran and West Michigan native who finds purpose and passion through caring for animals. Unfortunately, we cannot bring our beloved pets everywhere we go in life, which is why I understand how necessary it is to find a trustworthy, reliable, and loving sitter. From traveling to pet sit in southern California, fostering a German sheperd for 9 months, or driving down the road to give some love at lunchtime to local animals, I'm your sitter! I'm currently working part time, and am able to dedicate time to care for pet care. I look forward to discussing time-frames that are needed to give your pet everything they need to live happy and healthy! While responsible for your pets, there will be keen attention to detail to maintain safety. Leashes, toys, and interactions with other animals will be monitored accordingly.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a kid as I come from a big dog loving family! Starting with my personal and family experience: I have 2 dogs of my own: Pretzel who’s a Lab/Beagle mix and Wallace who is Lab/Heeler/Terrier mix! I have plenty of experience watching my sisters dogs, my best friends dogs, and my parents dogs. In college, I had a part-time job dropping in on a dog whose owner worked in the medical field and would have long shifts. I would go play with her, take her out to go potty and just spend time with her so she wasn’t alone for long periods of time! Aside from pet sitting for family and friends regularly, I don’t have a lot of experience outside of that; but it has always been a dream of mine to get a business like this running so I can spend my time doing what I love most, being around and caring for dogs! I feel comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Just some of the breeds I have interacted with are Dachshund, Beagle/Dachshund mix, Lab/Beagle mix, Rottweiler, Catahoula Leopard, Anatolian Shepherd, Goldendoodle, Lab/Doberman mix, and Pomskey. I am really excited about this new adventure and I hope you will pick me as your sitter! Currently I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, so I have plenty of time in between to spend with other pups! I hope at some point I could have this replace my current job! Unfortunately, my dogs aren’t the most friendly with others so I cannot offer services in my home. However, there is potential for me to have pets outside in my fenced in area for some outdoor playtime! Depending on my availability I am okay with overnights at your house if you are on vacation! I would treat your pets like they were my own and follow any instructions you have! Lastly, I offer dog walking services. I would love the exercise just as much as your pup would!!

“I had the privilege of having Jade be able to stop over to let my golden pup, Kaia, out and play with her for a short while daily. Jade was amazing and I am so glad Kaia got have such a good time every day. If it weren’t for my wife getting a job working from home, we would have had her do this a lot longer. Jade is very detailed with photos and descriptions, making it seem like you never left your fur baby in the first place. I’d recommend her to anyone; thank you Jade!”


About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.

About: Pet care is not just about feeding and walking times, it's also about providing love and attention to them while you are away. I feel it is important to know details of what your pet's routine is like. Things such as- from what their favorite toys are to how often they eat. While pet sitting, I feel it is also important to provide daily exercise and playtime for the pets to help them stay healthy and active. I'm eager to share updates and pictures to reassure you that your pet is in good hands. Caring for your pets and home requires a lot of effort, patience, and attention, but the joy and company of Woman's best friend is the best reward. I'm currently working, but I have plenty of free time to care for your pets when needed. I work every day until 3:00 P.M. and am available Mondays and Wednesdays any time after 3pm for drop ins, walks. If you are needing a sittiter in your home for longer than 3-4 days, I can definitely do that, but I need a 2 day notice beforehand please. My pup has the option to go to her dogsitters house at any time day or night, so I can be pretty flexible with times and days/nights. I am currently on pause for care in my home, but I am available for drop ins, walks and overnights in your home. Relax knowing your pets are being well cared for.

About: Used to caring for pets with unique temperaments. I grew up around the smallest of small dogs and the biggest of big dogs! No matter the pet I’ll love them just the same. I’m currently perusing a Master’s Degree with mostly online classes. My day job’s hours vary week to week but I usually have 3-10 free hours in a day! Whatever instructions you have for your home I will follow, and I make sure to tailor the attention to each individual dog’s needs while respecting your space.

“I called Shannon on a short, SUPER short notice for check ins for my little meat head. She came over for an introduction and got along with him straight away! Her updates are thorough and pics are even better!”

Tierstin B.
“I’ve known Tierstin for 8 years, every single year I’ve noticed her passion for animals continuously growing stronger. With always having an animal/companion by her side. Her cats are her babies. She would do absolutely anything for them. I’ve seen her train an 8 week old puppy how to sit and shake. Tierstin is a very determined person when it comes to animals. All she does is talk about animals, how can she help them, how can she train them or be there for them, etc. I would trust my own animals in her care and know my animals are safe with her.”
