About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was little. They always had a special place in my heart. I have a job at a boarding facility for dogs and have gained lots of new skills. The skills I’ve learned consist of potty walks, paying attention to behaviors, preparing food, always making water available, and understanding every dog is different and building trust between each dog is a main priority to making them feel safe. On Mondays and Tuesdays I have my Vet Tech classes but I always can come to your home after my classes which would be around noon. I currently work part time at a boarding facility until 12:30 ish on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and sometimes Saturday’s, it just depends on what I get scheduled to work that week. I can do house visits after I work around 2:00 pm and stay until 8 pm. I will not be boarding dogs at my house due to me having two dogs that aren’t around other dogs. My service I offer is caring for your pet in your home.

“Cindi was great, she’s super personable and made herself right at home with our girl Betty :) I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter”

“Emily was wonderful to work with and took great care of my cat while we were away. She made sure to send pictures frequently and was great with communication and updates. She played with our cat well and made sure that she got attention during visits. I would recommend!”

About: Hello, my name is Alexus! I have been around dogs and owned them since I was a child. I currently do not have a dog of my own; my Australian Shepherd, Meeko, passed away in November 2025. I took time off from Rover when I brought Meeko home in 2021 so I could fully focus on raising and caring for him. He was my absolute best friend and passed away much too young at only four years old. Since his passing, I’ve found myself with extra time and so much love to give, and caring for dogs again feels like a meaningful way to share that love while doing something I truly enjoy. Because of my experience with Meeko, I deeply understand the level of care, attention, exercise, and mental stimulation dogs need every day. He was truly my baby, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust when choosing a sitter. I treat every dog with the same patience, attentiveness, and affection I gave my own. In addition, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for three years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. I am also comfortable performing pet CPR if an emergency ever arises, and I am attentive to any special accommodations or needs your dog may have. Details are extremely important to me, and I will always follow your instructions closely to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am comfortable working with dogs of any age, size, or breed, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I am a full-time student during the week, so my boarding and house-sitting availability is primarily on weekends, beginning Fridays. In soms cases, I can also start Thursday evenings depending on your needs. On Fridays, I only have one class from 12–1 PM and a short work shift at my college from 3–5 PM. Outside of those few hours, I am available and fully dedicated to keeping your dog company, maintaining their routine, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. During the week, I also offer walks and drop-in visits. My class schedule varies, but I have flexibility on several days and can often adjust my routine to accommodate your dog’s needs. When I am caring for a pet, I make it a priority to be present, attentive, and consistent so they receive the exercise, companionship, and structure they’re used to. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule they are familiar with. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate use, and any special accommodations your dog may need. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and consistent for your pet. I understand that having someone in your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. In my home, I provide a safe, quiet, and supervised environment. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I am very mindful of doors, leashes, and surroundings to ensure your dog’s safety at all times. Having loved and lost my own dog, I understand how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. Because of that, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their emotional well-being just as much as their physical safety. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure, loved, and stress-free, while giving you complete peace of mind.

“My dog was so excited to see Eric each morning. The daily updates Eric provided was appreciated. I highly recommend Eric.”

About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I do not have any children or pets in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Heather did a phenomenal job caring for our little Skyler! She showed up promptly at the times I requested and stayed for the amount of time she said she would be there. Heather also followed my very detailed instructions accurately and precisely. This was important because Skyler takes two different medications. Heather provided us with updates on how Skyler was doing and sent pictures. Heather proved to be very caring and trustworthy. She also drove quite a distance to our home in a snow storm to care for our dog. I highly recommend Heather to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

About: My favorite experience is raising puppies to be awesome educated dogs. I have trained my pets to be well socialized and am aware of individual needs, young and senior alike. I am a retired teacher and spend most of my days at my orchard and tending to our dogs' needs. This work is very flexible which allows me to dedicate time to your pets. I have a small house full of love. Our dog guests are invited to share our space but I always feed guest dogs in a separate bedroom and can use either bedroom for some quiet time as needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Our family has always had a dog and we couldn't imagine our life without them! I have also cared for our family, friends and neighbors dogs. I am a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs! We are home most weekends and are available for boarding. We have a large yard, not fenced but we take a lot of walks and have stakes in the backyard for the dogs to play outside.

“I would highly recommend booking visits for your animals with Lydia. She sends tons of detail along with her picture and video updates while you are away to keep you informed. She spent time getting to know my animal and relating with him. I couldn’t recommend her services more!”

Lindsey S.

“I’m so glad to have found Kyle to watch our two cats on a recent vacation. I appreciated his communication both beforehand and during his visits. I felt totally at peace knowing our cats were in his care. We will definitely be looking at Kyle’s calendar again when we go on our next trip!”

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life! I have taken care of dogs throughout high school and even in college! I do not have a dog of my own yet due to trying to see if I want a puppy/what breed my boyfriend and I want! It’s in the works! I have had boxers and beagles growing up in my family home but would always dog sit my neighbors dogs, friends dogs, and more! I am a full time RN and work 3 days a week! Looking to play and hangout with dogs on my days off to help others who are also working their full time jobs! Looking to make some extra money on my days off :) Just moved into an apartment complex that is dog friendly with a brand new dog park! Also has a long path to walk dogs outside during the day!

About: I have my own dog at home and I am always asked to take care of my grandparents dog everytime they're away. I love dogs and always want them to be comfortable in my care. I currently work part time at a custodial company and I babysit at night as well. My work schedule is very flexible, it is a four hour shift and I have time in between then to have a pet care job. I always make sure they have water and food when they need to. I love taking my dog on walks and making sure to take him on bathroom breaks when he needs to. I also make sure to give my cat space when I need to but also play with her when she wants to.

About: I've owned dogs since I was a child and love walking and spending time with them. Dog parks or trail walks are just two options I love. I'm open Monday through Saturday, 9-5, and possibly on weekends, depending on my work schedule. Drive time is a consideration. Holland, Zeeland, Saugatuck is preferred. The dogs get better care than my husband! I love brushing, petting, and caring for dogs to build trust and a relationship. I consider your dog my dog.
