Dog Sitting Holland

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.

“Kate is proving herself to be invaluable. She was able to do drop in on short notice when I was unexpectedly delayed coming home. Thanks again!”

“Rachel was wonderful. We have a very needy dog with health problems and medication 3x daily and she did absolutely amazing. Definitely would recommend if your dogs needs are a bit more challenging. Thanks Rachel!!”

“Brenna was amazing with our cat. She went above and beyond taking care of him and our house. My cat loved her and my mind was at ease while away knowing he was getting love and care. She gave very detailed updates as well as lots of pictures and always responded quickly. I highly recommend Brenna and will book her again in the future! Thank you!!”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My sisters and I would bring home stray pets knowing once our mom saw them she wouldn't say no. At one time, we had 3 dogs and five cats. I currently have a boxer/ rat terrier/ coonhound mix named Bentley. I have dog sat for family friends and love having extra snuggles and wet kisses. I know its hard to leave our fur babies behind and look forward to having the trust to care for them and put your mind at ease. Very flexible and can accommodate most schedules on potty breaks and exercise. We take frequent walks around the neighborhood and have a nice big park across the road. We recently adopted a new addition to our family, Bandit. ❤️ He’s a 1.5 year old heeler mix, socialized, and fostered with puppies. He’s happy to make new friends.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of my sassy kitty.”

About: Hi there! I’ve owned and loved dogs my entire life and can’t think of a better way to spend my days than taking care of your baby(ies) like they’re my own! On top of 10 years of owning and caring for my own dogs, I have 4 years of professional pet care experience. Open to elderly and medically complex dogs, and available for short notice bookings as well as most holidays. :) My schedule is pretty open, so I have all the time and attention in the world to give your furry friends. Open for both drop in visits and long term stays. I am happy to care for your pets in your home and, for longer stays, do some light housekeeping as well. In depth instructions for your pet(s) are my best friend; there’s nothing I want more than to know exactly how to make your baby feel their most comfortable. Don’t be afraid to go into detail!

About: I currently work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part-time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement. I love walking and with my dogs getting to senior age I have to limit them to short walks. Looking to walk more and why not with your pet at my side I work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement I have a fenced in yard with 2 small dogs and a cat. They love walks and getting spoiled and would love your fur baby to be included.

About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)

“Shannon was a life saver this week. We had her scheduled to drop in on our 3. When the weather turned yucky and we ended up with 2 extra dogs, she handled the changes and the chaos no problem. All 5 dogs adore her.”

About: I have owned dogs for over 15 years. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up around large German Shepherds, a Doberman and too many cats to count. Today I have much smaller dogs. Mr. Miygai is around 19lbs and looks like a terrier mix but is part Chi and part Mini Poodle. Zoe is all stumpy tail Cattle dog mix and about 30lbs. Both love other dogs and get along great with them. Mr does prefer smaller dogs. Over the years I have owned 2 Dachshunds and a Sheltie Mix who was deaf. My Doxies lived to be 15 years old and one survived back surgery. I have experience taking care of young and old dogs. I am very comfortable with providing medication as well. I would love to take care of your dogs and treat them like they are my own. Currently taking a break from the corporate world. Have a lot of time to help others. Available most days of the week including weekends to take care of animals. I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own dogs. They have free roam of the house and yard. Dogs are treated as family.

“Nicole was fabulous! I cannot speak highly enough of the care she gave our three cats while we were away and how well she communicated with us to let us know how our girls were doing! The pictures she sent made it abundantly clear that our cats were being well taken care of and also being well loved! She will be my go to pet sitter for sure!”

“Addy came to our rescue when we needed someone to do a visit to take the dogs out with an extremely short turnaround. She came for a meet and greet the very next day, and took care of the pooches the next. She did a great job - the dogs loved her :-).”

About: ♡ As an owner of 4 Jack Russell Terrier Dachshund mixes, and a big fluffy cat, rest assured I will care for and keep your pet happy and safe. My 11 y.o. dog, Jackson, 4 y.o. Nala, 2-1/2 y.o. puppies (x2) - CrackerJack and Willow, and my 16 y.o. cat, Kiki, love to make new friends! (Kiki likes the back of the house normally, but was raised with doggos, and she is declawed in the front, so she is happily welcoming new friends, too!) We would all love to add your beloved pet to our friend's list! We all love puppy playtime, walks and playing fetch:) ♡ I am an energetic, fun-loving furbaby lover with lots of treats for your special friend. Your pup will get personalized service from me without hesitation. As my favorite handler says, "Learning an animal's language is a must!" ~ Caesar Milan ♡Message me with any questions or concerns you might have as you are away, and I will be happy to snap pictures, capture special photos, and videos of your furbaby(ies) while you are away, too! ♡ TLC INCLUDED ♡ I previously worked for The American Red Cross and taught Pet CPR and First Aid, so rest assured your pet will be in great hands! • I am currently in Rover training to be a dog trainer. Out of the four modules required, I have one left to complete! I aim to get certified by end-July! As an Artist, I work from home, so I will be giving 24/7 care to your furbaby and give them special attention the entire day and night. 🐾 Typically, we all get up at 5.30-6.30a and I take them out, and we nap zzz for another hour or so. Then it's our walk time, and we like to go around the neighborhood as well as going to the boardwalk right next door for fun. We spend our days indoors and out and about, pending weather. My yard is not fenced, but I take Jackson and Nala and the puppies for a walk every morning, and outside as needed (every two.ish hours). There is a fire hydrant right across the street from my front door- puppy approval 10/10! I recently purchased a baby gate, to open up in my front yard, for the furs to pay outside in! My four love it! (About the size of an SUV or so.)

About: I’ve taken care of many four legged friends over the years, and I used to be a volunteer dog walker at the SPCA of Southwest Michigan animal shelter. I have experience with dogs of many different breeds, ages, sizes, & personalities. I love spending time with dogs & would love to take yours for a walk! I’ll take care of your pup like he or she is my own :) My day to day schedule is flexible and variable. Whatever your needs are, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to make space for your pup in my schedule! Before taking your dog for a walk I’ll give them time to get comfortable with me & build trust. I will also happily send photos or videos of your fur baby if you’d like! I am very careful & respectful in others’ homes & will make sure everything is left like it was before I arrived. Your pet’s wellbeing & safety is my number one priority.

“Madisyn arrived on time and our dog loved her right away! She was attentive and calm with him, even when he wasn't on his very best behavior, and asked all the right questions to make sure they would have a successful walk. Our cat loved her too! We will be booking her for a longer stay soon.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always had them as part of my family. As my children grew up, they were raised alongside our dogs, and we've also always had cats. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I'm patient, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Animals seem to trust me quickly, and I love making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and stay close to the area. I'm available for early morning visits, midday drop-ins during my lunch break, afternoon walks or check-ins, and evening visits after 6:00 PM. I'll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care when you need it. When I visit your home, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'll provide plenty of love and attention, fresh food and water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and I'll follow your pet's routine and any special instructions so they're happy while you're away.

“Alison was great! She was very informative when arriving and taking care of my babies. This was my first time using Rover and will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks Alison!”
