Cat Sitting in Grand Rapids

“Rachel always takes good care of my cat. He loves the attention. She goes above and beyond, even taking care of trash bins and watering plants. Excellent sitter!”

“Kami communicated very well with us. Our cat seemed happy to have someone pop in on her while we were out of town. She provided photos during her drop in visit, gave her some cuddles, cleaned the litter box, checked the water, and fed her.”

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds growing up, including reptiles. I have my own fur babies and am also willing to give a bath if needed. I'm currently looking to build a clientele. I work as a day care worker in the infant department. My long-term goal is to run my own doggy daycare I have a fenced in yard, and feed my fur babies twice a day. They have free range of my home. My bed is their bed.

About: I have experience with both older and younger dogs, including dog-sitting rescues and providing overnight care. Messes do not scare me and I am more than happy to keep you in the loop. As a college student, I may be away for hours, but my schedule allows me to attend to tasks between classes. My weekends are a lot more free and flexible. If you have any concerns about this, please reach out. At your home, I will abide by all rules and suggestions, ensuring your pets receive the best care possible. This means feeding schedules, walking routines, overnight stays, and more.

About: I am a dog groomer by trade. I love animals and enjoy all the time I get to spend with them. I do not see walking or training dogs as a job but rather a hobby. I can guarantee that your dog will be in great hands with me as i will care for him/her as my own. Whether it is just a walk or major training needs I will work tirelessly to make you and your pet happy. The health and happiness of a pet means more than can be imagined and I know that without our beloved animals we would be lost. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you! I do work full time however this is a family gig where we all chip in. There will always be someone with availability to provide care for your dog just as we would our own. I have a fenced-in yard where the dogs can play either by themselves or in a group that fits their personalities. I offer walks twice a day if playing in the yard isn't enough. Depending on length of stay I offer a free bath. Depending on dog's coat I offer daily brushing. If I go to a client's home I will treat their home with the same respect I expect someone to treat my own. I leave everything the way I found it (unless there is a dog mess on the floor, I will clean that up).

“MaKayla did a drop in for my kitty Bowie and did a great job. Def will be reaching out to her again if I need another sitter :)”

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

“Amazing job! Very grateful to have someone check on the kitties while I was away. Followed instructions perfectly and went about and beyond to entertain the fur balls.”

About: Hi, I currently own two dogs and five cats. Over the years I’ve owned many different types of animals including dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I love doing lots of activities and training with my pets. My two dogs have completed obedience training and I’ve learned training skills from these classes. They also compete in dog sports including agility and dock diving competitions. I have pet sat previously for about a year and have watched dogs, cats, chinchillas, and sugar gliders. I am also comfortable giving needed medication to any pets. When I pet sit I make sure your pet feels happy and loved. Whenever I stop by I always play with them for a long time as well. I’d love to help take care of your animals while you’re gone! I am available for summer jobs before heading off to college. My schedule is flexible, so let me know your needs and we can figure something out. In the clients home for pet sitting, I make sure all animals are healthy and are doing well every time I check in. I always play with pets that need to be played with. I always follow the rules set in place by the client of feedings and house rules. The more information the better, including safety information such as your vet for emergencies if needed.

“My cat typically has some stranger danger, but he fell in love with Mackenzie at the meet and greet. I’m always nervous to leave him, but he warmed up to her right away. He made a lot of biscuits and greeted her at the door. She sent photos and gave me updates and I knew he was in great hands.”

Barbara R.

“Amelia was awesome. Very communicative and even my shyest came out for her eventually. She even moved some of my plants to a different room at my request because the cats were playing with them. Will definitely use her in the future next time I’m away!”

About: My family grew up with a cat only because my brother snuck it into the house one day. My siblings and I always pet sat for others though. I was lucky enough to take care of my roommates pitbull when I got older. My wife and I now have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and lots of plants. We love when our cane corsos, pitbulls, german shepards and kitten cousins come over. I will love your pets like my own. Whether that pet be a dog, cat, snake, plant, or other living thing. I’m a school nurse, so I am available early mornings and afternoons. I also have availability on lunch breaks and weekends. Feel free to reach out to see how I can accommodate your schedule. I work in the most trusted profession. A profession of caring and empathy. I will follow your rules for your pets. All pets outside will be monitored at all times. Common sense will be followed when opening doors to prevent escaping pets. Baby gates, doors, and leashes will be used as needed. The house is big enough to accommodate most pets. Meet and greets are required to make sure your pets get along with my pets when staying at my house.

About: I have been working with pets for many years. I have also lived with dogs my whole life! I love all types of animals! Hire me! I can work anything. I am a night owl so if your animal needs late night care, I am your person! I can come weekends or weekdays I make sure that the animal cannot get into anything that would harm them. I also make sure to let the animal smell me before doing anything as much as pet them

“Jordyn did a wonderful job watching my dog Lenny, I’m so glad I reached out to her! I received lots of updates and photos which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.
