Dog Sitting in Grand River

About: Hello! I’m incredibly interested in watching your dog or cat, getting to know and understand their individual needs to customize their care. I am going to be getting my first dog of my own very soon and would love to gain experience by taking care of yours! I work three 12 hour night shifts so I have plenty of off days during regular business hours during the week to accommodate your needs! I am flexible for mornings, afternoons, evenings, even middle the night depending on my availability. I can offer reliable, timely, professional care to you and your furry friend. I would also love to help with personal pet care that is above standard expectations.

About: I grew up taking care and watching pets. I have mainly worked with dogs and cats. I have been relied on to walk and feed pets for friends and family since I was young. I’m currently working part time evenings and weekends. I have availability during the day throughout the week to come walk your furry friends, let them out to go potty, or just play with them in the house so their day isn’t as lonely. I have a very large fenced in yard that has never had a issue accommodating my 90lbs Flat Coat. I am used to dealing with all different size dogs and can be sure keep them safe while I’m in your home or out on a walk.

About: I'm an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs. I'm patient, reliable and, I treat your pet like family. I have owned and worked with dogs all my life (I'm 65) and feel this is a natural fit as I near and enter into retirement. I'm currently a full time pastor of a Lutheran congregation. The congregation is used to me bringing dogs with me to work. However, depending on the pet and the request of the owners, I can leave pets at my (or your) home and check in on them regularly. I am with them overnight. I do not have a fenced yard in my Condo so will walk them on a leash. I have my own fur baby, Annie, who absolutely loves other doggy companions. I work with each pet and client individually to ensure that we are meeting your needs. Crate trained animals are welcome but I've sat for many who roam free in the condo.

About: Genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. A teacher on summer break! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide attention, exercise, and companionship. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I prioritize reliability and have some wiggle room in my schedule when needed to ensure pets receive what they need. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and household rules. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor pets for any signs of discomfort or illness, and ensure they always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work to build trust with both pets and their owners.

“I have two cats, one being diabetic and Katie was able to help me last minute when my sitter fell through. She sent me multiple updates and took care of everything I needed! Would definitely recommend Katie again!”

About: Hello! My name is Shawntel and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had 2 dogs and 4 cats. Now I have three dogs that I couldn't imagine my life without them, with two of them being rescues. When I’m booked for house/dog sitting, my dad gets to stay and spend time with his grand-pups (: One is a German Shepard mix, another one is a Pitbull, Husky, Lab mix, and my newest addition is a golden doodle! The German Shepard is a senior so I am used to making accommodations for animals as well as giving mediations. It doesn't matter if they are young or old, big or small, boy or girl-- I love them all. I am currently a first grade teacher in Lake County which I recently took time away from dog sitting to focus on my new position. But now I’m back!! So I am available before and after the school day during the week for your animals and pretty free on the weekends. I am usually pretty flexible so if you need anything special for your animal, just let me know! I also dedicate my summers and school breaks to house/dog sitting! I truly believe that a well taken care of animal is a happy one, and who doesn't want their fur baby happy?! I look forward to meeting you and your sweet animal(s)!!

About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.

About: Lived on farm growing up so am familiar with barn pets and house pets - have raised puppies and kittens - also used to have an amphibian resucue that I worked for - on foster team for humane society I am currently working on part time basis which allows me flexibility in visit times and length of visits . The work I do need to plan around I mostly have control of. I always have dogs leashed unless a fenced in yard is provided . I am conscientious and careful of doors and gates when entering and exiting home .

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I currently have a 7 year old pup, Gemma. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have been a high school English teacher for 20 years. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to details. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just company, I’ll make sure they feel loved safe, loved, and cared for. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m happy to follow and specific routines and instructions. I’m especially excited to help during the summer months and would love to meet your pup! I work full time, but still have time for my pup. I take care of all her needs and wants. She gets daily walks, sometimes twice a day. I treat every pup as if they were my own! Aside from meeting their basic needs, pups get spoiled with my love and attention, which is what they deserve.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix and a Cane Corso/Boxer mix, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with very different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs and horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to read animal behavior from an early age. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering lots of love and attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. During the week, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and nighttime check-ins after work. My weekends are much more flexible, which allows me to provide more availability for pet sitting, extended visits, walks, and additional care as needed. I always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before and after walks or outdoor time. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to help prevent accidents, stress, or unsafe situations. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away. Because I have experience with both small and large breeds, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

“Olivia is amazing!! I was on my way back from vacation and a friend had been watching my dog but left my house that morning. Well my flight got delayed due to weather and I needed help fast since my poor pup had been alone for hours! I reached out to a few sitters that unfortunately couldn’t take a last minute booking but Olivia responded promptly and said she could be there in an hour!! She advised me that my pup had been sick and had threw up on my new carpet. Well when I got home I was so happy to see she cleaned it and there was no sign of a stain! I will use her again AND recommend her to my friends!”
