Pet Sitting in Grand Haven

“Autummn has been our sitter for a few months now and I truly can’t recommend her enough, my cat, who is definitely a bit picky, absolutely adores her. I always get so many pics and wonderful updates and it puts me at such ease. Thank you, Autummn 💕”

“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!”

“Holy Cow Maggie was the best with our cat and dog. She was friendly, on time for her visits, sent daily updates, followed directions and I had nothing to worry about. If she’s available, book her!”

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.

“Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cats, one of whom is an active young cat who needs playtime! We appreciated the daily reports and photos, and could tell that Ashley was giving them the attention and affection they needed.”

“Taylor was really communicative with me and attentive to my cat, Lenny, while I was away. He can be a little shy, but Taylor quickly won him over and had photos and videos of playtime to share with me each day.”

“Mackenzie did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She paid close attention to their individual needs, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and made me feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. It was clear my cats were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the level of care she provided. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter!”

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.

“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.”

“Jenn went above and beyond for these 2 drop ins. Our Shepard was clearly not ready for Rover Time but Jenn handled the situations perfectly. I'll apologize here, publicly, for Clios behaviour Jenn. The dog was not in the least cooperative. I'm very sorry, she won't be having drop ins again soon.”

“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!”

Jon S.

“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!”

Bella R.

“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! ❤️”

About: I have been around cats, dogs and farm animals my entire life. I have had multiple cats and dogs at all times and of all sizes. I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible! I am currently working at a marina but am very flexible to work around that schedule for mornings, evenings, weekends and weekdays. I have a car and am able to come on short notice. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but live just down the road from a fenced dog park.

About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals particularly dogs. I don’t think there has been a point in my life I’ve lived without a dog or two. Now as an adult I’ve turned that passion into dog sitting and caring for others pets. It’s hard to find someone you trust and feel comfortable with as this is dog is part of your family. I would love to help with that. I’ve been a dog sitter for over 26 years now through word of mouth. I have personally owned many chihuahuas, huskies, shepherd mix and a coonhound. I specialize in providing care for older dogs who require special attention and a safe, comfortable environment. Additionally, I have extensive experience with dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, helping them feel secure through extra attention and dedicated time. While I am particularly familiar with smaller breeds, I have also cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my career. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care as their own, I would be delighted to help. I’m currently a stay at home mom with older kids in school (8,14,17 and away at college 19 years old). During the day it would be a quiet relaxed environment. I have a passion for dogs and love helping pet owners with any behavioral issues or support as I care for their pets. I’m able to make the dog comfortable and have enjoyed the bond I create with every dog I watch. My goal is to help those relax while gone knowing they don’t have to worry about the care of their pet. While I normally have one dog at a time, occasionally there may be days when boarding and doggy day care overlap or I may do both on a case by case basis but I will do my best to inform owners ahead of time and accommodate owners and pets accordingly. I first would want to know how you care for your dog in your home. From there I try to adjust how I watch him or her in my home so the pet is comfortable doing what they are use to. Communication is important so I can understand what the needs are and provide a safe environment.

“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: 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: 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: 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.

“Awesome”
