House Sitting in Grand Valley

About: I’ve had dogs since my 20s. My black lab recently passed away and I’m not ready to get another dog so I figured I would dog walk to get my fix! I am always watching the neighbors dogs and cats. I do have experience with puppies and the elderly. My business is that of Massage Therapy and I am also certified in Canine Massage! I have also included a picture collage of my home so that you know what to expect to see when you come in at any time. I am currently working from home so I am flexible every day of the week. I do schedule myself plenty of breaks every day of the week. This way I can properly take care of your pet. I would take care of your pet just like my own! I spoil them and they will never go hungry no matter if they’re at my home or yours

“Madelyn was terrific! She asked all the right questions in our video chat meet n greet. Communications was clear and timely. She clearly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. This was the first time w electric our 6-month old pup with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier. She checked in by text over the course of the evening and sent pictures of how things were going. Rufus loved her! She also does pet photography and took some gorgeous photos of our boy.”

About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: Hi! My name is Alicia. I am a Licenced Veterinary Techician, and graduated from IMBC. I have two cats and two jumping spiders currently. I was a full-time LVT at NEAH, but left recently due to compassion fatigue. I have experience with exotics as I used to own rats, a fire skink, and have cared for bearded dragons in the past. I would like to get to know you before coming into your home and caring for your pets. I think establishing trust between each other is an important step to becoming a valued pet sitter. I’m very excited to meet you and your little companions! I am currently working part time doing odd jobs and would love to add this to my routine! I have so much love for animals! Cleanliness is a top priority of mine when it comes to feeding and potty time. Additionally, I know the basics of first aid and CPR in a situation where the worst would occur. I believe this is important knowledge for any sitter to have.

“AWESOME!!!!! I wish there were more stars than just 5. Danielle was amazing. She took great care of my furbabies and my home. She did more than I expected and sent updates with photos. I was nervous having someone I did not know in my home with my pets for 3 nights, but Danielle took care of my pets and home as if they were her own. She even striped the bed she used, washed the bedding and remade the bed, she took out the garbage and washed and put away the dishes. Completely unexpected, but greatly appreciated. She made my long weekend away much more enjoyable because I knew everything was in good hands with Danielle. She is a God Sent and a True Blessing. In case you cannot tell, I highly recommend her!!!!”

“Samantha was fantastic! She was great with our dogs and sent frequent updates with pictures. She also took good care of our house when we were gone. We asked to extend the stay by one night and Samantha was so willing to accommodate and stay!”
