Top rated Grand Rapids house sitters
“Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).”
“Holly Jean was fantastic and I look forward to booking her again. She was able to adapt and kept us informed through any issues and my partner and I are so glad she was there to give our pups excellent care.”
“Kate was awesome! She took great care of our pups and our home. We received lots of pictures during her stay and had such peace of mind knowing they were in her care. Highly recommend!”
“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”
“Kevin was thoughtful and caring with all of our animals. He treated our home and pets with respect. We really appreciated how he went above and beyond to keep our minds at ease while we traveled. We highly recommend Kevin and will use his services again!”
“Our year and 1/2, 170 mastiff absolutely loves Michaela! And I know this because he hasn't stopped looking for her since we got back. She attended to every detail and more. Also she stayed with him at night! It's great knowing our baby has a competent and loving sitter for future needs!”
“Great, couldn’t say more. Left my place cleaner than I left it and kept me informed throughout the weekend about how Murray was with pictures and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa was amazing! send me pictures of my cats every day! And really showed she cared about them, keeping them entertained and loved ❤️ great communicator as well!”
“I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!”
“Tayler was awesome with Stevie over a long weekend stay! There was a change in my cat’s health needs right before her stay and she took it in stride and made sure Stevie got all medications as directed. I felt Stevie was in good hands and all updates were prompt and thorough”
“We had such a great experience with our dog and house sitter, Norah. She took such wonderful care of Bentley and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands. It’s clear Norah truly cares and treats your home and pets like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.”
“Ricky was fantastic. Stewie felt so comfortable with him, and we can tell Ricky took care of him as if he was his own. Will definitely be booking Ricky for future dog sitting needs.”
“Colene came and stayed with my sweet girl who was still recovering from surgery. She took amazing care of her and gave her all the needed snuggles while we were away for a few hours.”
About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.
“We could not be more thankful for Jessica. Our dog, Chloe, is quite a lot to put up with when she meets someone new, and Jessica handled all of her behavior like an absolute champion. Jessica is calm, collected, and you can tell really cares about your dog. She pushed through the difficult moments of getting to know Chloe and helped us so much with introduction ideas and how to help Chloe's stranger-danger behavior. Her and Chloe are now besties! Jessica was very professional, took care of our house wonderfully, kept us updated with texts and photos. We will absolutely be asking her back!”
“Hannah did a great job! She helped us out last minute when our dog sitter canceled. She was punctual, kind and took great care of our pup. She communicated well, and played with our dog while we were away.”

He was great sitter for our dog and cat. The cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved all the extra attention, while our dog — who is usually shy around new people — warmed up almost immediately. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They followed all feeding instructions, kept everything tidy, and treated our pets like family.
Holly was wonderful with my boys! She was excellent with communication and handled all their needs. She even handled a few tiffs between them and let me know what was going on the whole week. I came home to happy healthy pups and a clean home which is all I could ask for!
Emily was great! She was very accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet with us ahead of time. We had never gotten a in-home dog sitter before and she was very reassuring in her experience and gentle nature with our senior lab! She was able to send us photo updates throughout her stay which was really nice! Would recommend and book again!
Lillie stayed at our house with our dogs for 12 days and did an awesome job! We received daily updates with pictures and our house was in great condition when we returned from our trip. It was so nice knowing our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone!
We had a fantastic experience with Carla! She took wonderful care of our dogs and sent us frequent photo and video updates. It was so clear they were in great hands. We returned to a house that was perfectly neat and tidy, and most importantly, two very happy pups. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks Carla!!!
