She kept me updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, so I never had to worry for a second. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I would recommend Hillary without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”

“We really enjoyed Matthew as our sitter. He was very gracious, kind and professional. He adapted well to our chaos (😂) and he cleaned up after himself! It was pretty amazing to come home to the kitchen clean, bed sheets stripped and the dogs having been walked and looking perfectly happy. Felt so good to know they were so well cared for. We would absolutely love to have Matthew again.”

About: Hi! I am a junior at GVSU studying Radiation Therapy. I have pet sat and dog walked for family and friends for years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from nervous chihuahuas to chunky Rottweilers! I’ve also cared for many cat personalities too. I’ve volunteered at West Michigan humane society in the cat and small animals department. I also have a love for reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 five year old Guinea pig girls, and my roommate has a Russian tortoise! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, fostering and adopting dogs, taking in barn cats, a few pet fish, and having a leopard gecko for 10+ years. I have a lot of time available, and would love to assist your family! As a busy college student- I actually have plenty of time to stay in someone’s home as I can study! I have scheduled classes 10am-3pm Tues, Wed, and Noon-2pm Thurs. I can be flexible depending on your needs. When caring for an animal in a clients home I want to understand the animals personality, needs, and quirks. I love playing with animals, giving them affection, or just being in their presence. I make sure your pet/s have plenty bathroom breaks, constant clean water, fed at appropriate times, and feel loved. I’m happy to abide by oddly specific instructions, my own animals require some silly requests :-) Every animal has different levels of trust, and I am always patient to gain that trust and not expect it. Your pets won’t be bored or lonely, I’m happy to keep them entertained!

“Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Becky S.

“We are SO grateful that Soly was available to stay at our house for three weeks while we were away! Everything went so smoothly starting with the meet & greet. Soly arrived at our house ready with questions and took thorough notes on everything we went over. He did such an amazing job caring for our dog, Phoebe as well looking after our turtle that is housed in a 75 gallon tank. We felt very at ease with receiving regular updates on how things were going and appreciated how attentive Soly was with our pets. He went above and beyond to make sure all our plants were watered, mail was collected, and parts of the house were vacuumed and cleaned. Soly even made a special trip to the store to grab more lettuce for our turtle! After a long day of traveling, we came back to a clean house and happy pets. And a new toy and treat for Phoebe sitting on our table :) ‘Most Thoughtful Pet Sitter’ award goes to Soly. We will definitely be using him as our go-to sitter!!”

“Dylan provided updates about Ebony, including pictures. Ebony got plenty of play time and was exhausted when we came back from our short trip. Dylan was curteous and treated Ebony, and our home with respect.”

Allison O.

“Deborah was fantastic! She watched my 10 year old rescue lab mix for a week, who required daily meds and lots of attention. She made adjustments to make sure she kept up with regular meds and eating. She also provided frequent updates and pictures! ❤️ Highly recommend!”

About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!
