“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”

She is responsible and communicative, even watering a houseplant that she noticed was parched. I will happily continue working with Kristen whenever I need my cats looked after!”

About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself. I am working remotely and able to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule.

I do not currently have pets of my own, so I would love to help take care of your fur babies while you’re away! Going for a nice long walk to work off some energy, giving lots of pets, engaging play, and ensuring they are safe and happy are just a few checkpoints during my visits!

About: I have been pet sitting for over 7 years. I like to prioritize pets and get to know them. I can relate going out of town and needing someone to take care of your babies can be intimidating but I’m here to help look after them and hope it’s not too anxiety inducing. I like to know routines and behaviors so I can be the best sitter for them and meet their needs. One of the best things about having my base home in Kalamazoo is the amount of walks and trails that you can find anywhere where I can take myself and a dog for a walk. It gives us an excuse to leave the house and get fresh air as we spend a couple of hours outside, so that always helps when it comes to walking dogs and puppies. I work from home so I’m quite flexible with being able to arrange my day regarding a pet that needs attention or already has a specific routine As an experienced pet sitter I know what questions to ask and like to know more about your routines. Sending daily pictures and updates are also a must to not miss them too much.

Nicole Z.
“I have used Nicole to check on my house cats for many years. Some were senior and required medicine. She has never been unable to meet my schedule even at last minute requests. She checks on them as agreed and always sends pictures of the cats getting their food or special treats she brings them. She takes care of their litter boxes and cleans up any ‘mistakes’ they make. She puts my mind at ease knowing that she takes such good care of them and always gives them love and attention.”
Maiya W.
“Maiya has the loveliest dog of her own, Junie, that she has raised since a puppy. Junie is very well loved and cared for! Junie is a high energy Australian Shepherd, so not the easiest dog, but Maiya does a great job with her and makes sure she gets everything she needs. My own dog, Sherman, is my baby and I would never leave him with anyone unless I trust them 100% to take good care of him. I would leave him with Maiya with no hesitation! Maiya has plenty of dog experience and most importantly she is a kind person. Your dog would be happy and healthy with her!”
Alisha H.
“Alisha's love for dogs is very evident. The care and instinctively knowledge of dogs needs is outstanding. We do not hesitate to have her care, walk, or stay with our dog Baxter. When Alisha arrives to spend time with Baxter he is so excited; there is no transition, he immediately takes to her command. When we leave Baxter with Alisha we know he will be well cared for and loved.”
Liz W.
“Liz is simply fantastic! She is very dependable and reliable. She genuinely cares for animals and has vast amounts of experience dealing with dogs and cats of various temperaments . I would highly recommend Liz as a caregiver, or dog walker for your pets. I have personally worked with her as a groomer in a pet grooming salon. I would trust her with my fur babies any day and highly recommend using Liz for your pet care needs.”
