Cat Sitting Grand Haven

“Ashley was great! She made sure the dogs got to spend some time outside and with her. She provided me notice when she started the visit and sent pictures of her visit.”

Taylor V.

“5 star experience! She jumped in on a last-minute booking, was so flexible, and kept us in the loop the whole time. She handled our anxious puppy and reactive senior with ease! We will absolutely book her again!”

“My puppy and 2 kitties loved the couple of days they had with Maggie visiting, my cat, who is afraid of even being seen by others, was snuggled up next to her in pictures. And I really appreciated seeing pictures, especially because I was in a last-minute need of someone for a new pup and didn't get a chance to meet her ahead of time. Maggie was very helpful and gracious in all our interactions, including offering to call for an introduction because of my short notice for needing her. I will definitely hire her again when needed.”

About: Expert in aquarium animals and cats because of my axolotls, cat and senior cat. I’ve taken a liking to dog care since I was 12 years old. I work Monday-thursday from 6-10, so my availability lies before 5:30 on those days with a little more flexibility on nights and weekends. For those that need help those specific times. I have basic knowledge about dogs: food, house, walks, and handling. Though I’ve never owned a dog you may want to communicate any special instructions to me beforehand.

About: History: My family adopted two puppies when I was in high school and I trained them both. Although they remained in my mom’s care, I continued to pet sit them throughout their long 18-year and 15-year lives (so, I’m experienced with senior care!). As an adult I adopted two dogs from two different animal rescue organizations. My first dog, Odin, was rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. He was not trusting of humans, had significant health issues, and had become quite feral. Odin quickly became my soul dog. I worked very hard to gain his trust, give him proper training, give him proper medical care, and give him the best, most adventurous life I could. He passed away a couple of years ago as a happy, healthy, well-trained, and so loved pup. He continued to have health issues throughout his life because of how poorly he was treated earlier in life, so I am very experienced with dogs that have special treatment, diets, and/or needs. It is because of how well I was able to rehabilitate Odin that I was allowed to adopt my second dog, Brida (whom I still have!). Brida was also rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. With Odin’s help, and a lot of love and patience, Brida is now a well-trained, loving girl that has become my absolute best friend. She still carries trauma from things that happened prior to me adopting her, so she’s timid and is still not very trusting of adult men or reactive dogs. Children make her nervous, mostly because she hasn’t had much long term exposure with kids. Brida only ever interacts with other animals that I walk and/or take care of after owner consent and success meet-and-greets. Brida has been on longterm pet care stays with me with a couple of regular clients, but she also enjoys staying at my Mom’s house for sleepovers, if need be! Brida ADORES all the dogs in her life - ranging from gentle giants to squirmy, energetic puppies - and loves playing chase. She does not understand how to play with dogs toys, so she will never steal another dog’s toy or bone (unless she has watched them use it first, and she’ll practice when she thinks no one is watching her). Brida is OBSESSED with cats. She respects kitty boundaries, and would follow them around in fascination all day everyday if she could. Present: I have availability year round, and a lot more availability during the summers. My services range from walks, check-ins, overnight care, and more. We look forward to getting to know our pawsome community here in West Michigan better! 🐾 My typical availability includes afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My summer schedule allows me to offer all day availability or multiple time frames of availability per day, with occasional restrictions. My dog, Brida, is fed twice a day (morning/evening), gets let out 3x per day, goes on 1-2 walks per day, and has free range of our living space. Outside, she is typically on a leash or stationary lead. I do have experience taking care of crate-trained pets as well. When providing long term care, I typically request a personalized schedule to be provided so I can best ensure a regular routine for the pet.

“He did not succumb to the eye hypnosis trick my overeating dog uses to convince people she hasn’t been fed in weeks. He was not driven away by the chaos that ensues when a human enters the house. All this and he still came back. Thanks! Great job! Pups love him! Hire him! Woof!”

“Karin dropped by for a short visit with our pup and was communicative and reliable. She handled Somi's stranger anxiety with calmness and understanding.”

Anna C.

“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

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.

“We went to New York this week and Phineas watched our 2 cats (and our house). He is very friendly, sweet, and was super great with Gus and Abby. Abby is normally shy and hides, but she warmed up to him right away. How wonderful it’s been to go on vacation, especially so far away, and to not have to worry about anything! Phineas will always be our go to when we go away. He’s amazing! 🤩 So grateful we found him! ❤️”

“Taylor is amazing! She is sweet, friendly, trustworthy, and has wonderful energy. Our dog loved her and we will definitely book services with her again. She kept in contact via message and sent several photos at each visit. We are very happy with our experience!”

About: During my years in High School, I have watched other people's cats. I would often spend half an hour to a full hour at the owner's home feeding the cat, emptying the litterbox, and entertaining the cat. I usually leave a note for the owners when they return and provide updates on how their cat is doing. I'm also a dog and fish owner, and I know how to support their needs. I'm currently home for the summer, meaning I'm available. I'm currently looking for a job, so my availability may change. But I'm also open to discussing a schedule that best fits your pets needs. I help out with my dog at home, I make sure he's fed and goes on walks. If needed, I will take my dog to get trimmed or bathed. If needed, I'm open to taking your pet to get trimmed or cleaned.

“Rish is nothing but amazing. I was nervous because of my difficult dog. She took pictures and you could see the joy in their faces. Will rebook in the future!”

“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:)”

“Sara did a great job caring for and walking Marshall for me while I was out of town and won’t hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.

About: Pet lover. CPR and First Aide certified. Able to administer medications. Trusted outdoor adventure partner. Loves to take long walks. Supervised and safe adventures are my specialty! Retired nurse with an open schedule. I'm available 7 days a week if you need drop in care, dog walks, scheduled feeding or well checks. I have a dog friendly house. Our Bella is an older Berna doodle that's very friendly. We do not have a fenced in yard but I love taking walks.

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.
