“Always just the best communication and such great care shown! I completely forgot to complete the booking but she still came and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of until I could respond and take care of my whoops. Thank you!!!!”

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”

“Katie is amazing! We are new to GR and were nervous about finding someone to walk our dog. Katie was incredible! She was 100% on time, she listened to what our dog needed (wanted to turn around early on their walk) and then spent the remainder of their time hanging out! I could not be more thankful to have someone like Katie!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and make sure to give them the best care possible. I want to take care of them as if they were my own. During the week, I work full-time and don’t have a lunch break, but I’m typically available after 4:15–4:30 PM, and I’m off at 3:00 PM on Fridays. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a little extra company, I’m happy to help however I can. I make sure to always take dogs on walks, and give them extra care. I’m more than happy to sit outside with them (weather pending) and play or just hangout together.

“Julia was great! I was not super prepared and booked super last minute but she showed up and took great care of my boy despite the chaos! 10/10 will book again!”

“Absolutely recommend! We were in town for a concert and Holly came to our Air BnB to walk our pups with no issues!! I felt so much better knowing they were being taken care of while at the show! Sent photos and updates.”

“Tayler has been super helpful, was able to accomodate my 11th hour requests to check in on my dog, feed and walk him. My dog appears to have taken to her quite well.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve had pets my whole life of all kinds and have watched many of my family and friends pets over the years! I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, plenty of affection, and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and comfort they deserve. My goal is to create a stress free experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable, compassionate care you can count on. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a DPT student at GVSU so outside of class I’m open all afternoons after 3 and Fridays as well as weekends to drop in and visit your pets! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, exercise, and any special requests to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of love and attention, playtime, and potty breaks or litter box cleaning as needed. For walks, I use secure leash handling and stay aware of our surroundings to help keep your dog safe while tailoring each walk to their age, energy level, and individual needs. I respect your home as if it were my own and will ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Hannah is amazing. She goes over and above during her dog walks and has been extraordinarily flexible with her schedule. Our little Sadie loves her and we appreciate her so much!”

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

“Michelle took great care of my dogs with regular walks while I was on vacation. I came home to happy, healthy boys! I would hire Michelle again; she will take great care of your pets!”

About: I have been around animals for most of my life and have over 50 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve owned about nine dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd and two sugar gliders, so I’m comfortable with both active dogs and animals that need more specialized care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and attentive caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I'm a retired firefighter who went into nursing after that career but retired from that now, too. I really enjoy the company of dogs and they seem to enjoy me, too. My wife is in and out of the house because she still works full time, so you may or may not meet her. However I am the one who's retired and gets to be home with any fur babies 24/7 so you will be working with me directly. Pickup and drop off end at 8pm. We understand you may get home later but we request if it will be later than 8pm, you book another night. This is important for our work/life balance. I have a fenced in backyard, a friendly Aussie who likes to play and numerous sized cages if your dog prefers that for sleeping or escape. I take a walk everyday (usually to the park two blocks away) and I would be happy to include your dog on my daily walk. If I come to your house , I'd be happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood , play ball or frisbee in the backyard or work on commands .. I have done all of these in the past.

“Always timely and efficient. So sweet to our pup.”

About: Every dog is has their own personality. It’s more than dog sitting, it’s building a connection. In the past, I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at one time, each one with different needs. Whether it was making sure they took their medication or sitting with them while they ate. Catering to each dog and what they need is something very important to me. I’m currently home from college and don’t have any regular commitments. My plans vary depending on the week but as your dog sitter your dogs will be my priority. I know how important a routine and schedule can be for a dog, taking them out to potty every certain number of hours or feeding them at specific times.

“Jaqelynn was friendly, reliable, and great with Roscoe. She made sure to get him the maximum amount of exercise, sniffs, and potty breaks on every walk. She also reinforced our training. Would definitely hire her again. Thank you!”

“Carly was an awesome dog walker! Great communication, lots of photos and details about my dog. I could tell she really loves dogs and my dog really liked spending time with her. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Carly! Punctual and organized.”

“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”

About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (27 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi there! Huge lover of all animals having grown up with them my entire life! In total I’ve had 5 dogs, 1 cat, lots of fish and most recently 2 rats as my personal pets. I am most knowledgeable about dogs. As a kid I helped train puppies (my parents were breeders for a few years) and went on to practice basic behavior training and agility with my dog. I currently do not have pets. I also love wild animals and have rescued and handled small birds, turtles, rabbits, and opossums. I’m comfortable caring for baby animals, odd animals, senior pets and special needs animals (my miniature schnauzer lived to be 16 and he was disabled for about 4 years, i.e. diapers, carrying around the house, bathed daily, etc.). I also have experience with how to handle anxious/prey animals (rats, rabbits). In my personal life I love the outdoors and walks/hikes! I am a very active and healthy person, I do not smoke or drink. I own a car and am happy to pick up pets at an additional small fee. I currently work from home as an artist and business owner. Because I’m the boss, your pets will receive all of the love and attention! Your pet’s enrichment and safety is number one and I take it very seriously! Meeting ahead of time to take notes on care and learn about the animals behavior is very important. I want your animal to be comfortable with me too and make sure I’m aware of any triggers or preferences. I like to send updates and photos (if you approve of that) to make you feel as comfortable as possible about our time together.
