Dog Sitting Holland

“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!!”

“Amanda was a terrific caregiver for Jake and Henry. She checked on them daily, took time to play with Jake (Henry is a grump), and sent photos and updates to me. She is a great communicator and obviously loves animals. This gave me tremendous peace of mind on our three-week trip, especially because Jake was new to us one month before we left! Highly recommend!”

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.

“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!”

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 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.

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 :)

“Reliable and caring”

Alexis also sent lots of photos and videos from each visit while I was away which was so so appreciated!!! She is an amazing cat sitter & I definitely know who to go to now if I ever go out of town. Kiwi loved her! Thank you so much, Alexis!!!”

“Taylor was enthusiastic and excited to spend time with my kitty. It’s always relieving knowing your pets are receiving love when you’re gone. I definitely will be asking her for help in the future!”

“Frances and her family were beyond amazing! We are new to the area and we’re due to have our baby and needed a reliable person to care for our pets while in the hospital. Frances was very flexible with the schedule due to our situation which was a blessing! The care our three dogs received was more than we could ask for and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We have one very large dog and two very small ones so she is also great with variety! She went above and beyond, we are very pleased with her service and will definitely book with her again!”

Alexis W.

“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!!”

“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: Hello!! I have had a dog since I was born and learned to feed and walk them at a young age. I take care of my neighbors dog when she has commitments. My daughter and I take him out for a walk end of the night so she doesn’t have to when she gets home. I’ve house sat on weekends so friends can have a weekend vacation. Also have taken a friends’ dog for walks after school before they get home so the pup can go potty. I work full time Monday through Friday but home by 4:45 everyday. I can can care for your pet in my home starting Friday nights to Sundays for your weekend get aways. I also can do a drop in visit and take your pet for walks and play for a bit if you have to work late or convenience. My daughter and I would cuddle, play and love your pet. We play outside and go for walks a lot. With permission we go to the dog park to run off energy or play with friends of mine’s dogs. Jumping on the couch is never an issue. I prefer to them to get comfortable on couch pillows as if it’s his/her home. The less stress/anxiety on your pet the better. Your pet will never wait in the morning to go outside potty as 5:30am is typically sleeping in for me. My daughter loves to do tricks or even try to teach new ones. I work full time during the week. I am available for drop ins and dog walks during the week after 4:15. Starting Friday night by 4:30 I’m available for boarding and house sitting. On this Rover platform it is set to weekends only for boarding but if you have a cat that needs a long stay that is totally fine and would be happy to do that. When I board an animal I try to be home as much as possible or make it a day event for a walk in the trails (with a leash of course), or play with friends of mines pets. When your pet is in my care I like to have all of my errands finished that way we have constant interaction, opportunities to snuggle/play and go for walks. The more time I have with your pet I hope the more comfortable they feel. Your pet already misses their human and wouldn’t want to leave them alone. I can board up to 2 dogs per family at a time but wouldn’t take on any more to avoid possible temperaments or jealousy. When going for walks I have your pup on a leash at all times. I have a family environment home so your family pup will always have attention. I like to send a few pictures and videos each day to let you know he/she is safe and having a good time.
