Dog Sitting in Holland

“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 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.

“Rachel is reliable and great with our cats. She was able to handle pill administration too, which was a big relief while we were on vacation.”

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: 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 :)

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

About: I’ve had animals all my life and hold a special place in my heart for them all! My family has rescued dogs small and large as well as a cat. I’m am currently graduating in May and will be pursing a masters online with that being said I have a lot of flexibility to work with you and your fur baby :) With experiance my own pups I will care for them as if they were my own. I have had larger breed rescues and smaller dogs as well as a cat in my household.

“Thanks to Amanda, I am able to relax on my travels! She communicates well and keeps me informed. She had to give meds to my six-month old kitten and handled it very well. She is dependable, trustworthy, and loves animals like they are her own.”

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.

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. With busy working parents, I was often the one doing most of the animal care. I grew up with 2 large German Shepherds and 2 cats, so I am familiar with handling large breeds and taking care of multiple animals at once. I am a huge animal lover and have always been a natural pet caregiver. The well-being of animals is my top priority. I am currently working full-time; however, I work from home once a week and can be flexible on which day that is. I am also completely available on the weekends. The beautiful Detroit River Walk is right by my apartment, where I would take lovely long walks with pets. Additionally, my favorite pastime is cuddling with furry friends on the couch!

“Melissa is amazing! She loves our dogs like they are her own. She is a great communicator and always so friendly and nice. She sends great and photos. Highly recommend!”

“Alexis took GREAT care of my two cats while I was away for a week. She took time to check in on and play with the cats each day and sent daily updates and photos. She is a great communicator and quickly earned the trust of my two cats who are generally shy with strangers. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

Rachel C.

“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!”

Abbey N.

“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’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets for family and friends since I was 14. From feeding and walks to playtime, bathing, and ensuring their safety, I treat every dog like my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Our home is full of love, and my kids (ages 5–16) enjoy helping give extra attention and playtime (always supervised). Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us! Every other week we travel to Coopersville for school needs—and your pup is more than welcome to come along and enjoy the ride and have an adventure! While we don’t have a fenced yard and live in a quiet mobile home community, we make up for it with plenty of activity! We’re surrounded by miles of bike paths, nearby parks, on-leash trails, and a large dog park—so your pup will get all the exercise and stimulation they need.

“Hope took EXCELLENT care of our dog. She has unmatched enthusiasm and love as a dog sitter. 10/10 would recommend, will be asking for her help again!”

“Emily is able to check in on my pet on both Christmas eve and the day of Christmas, and was very flexible on time. She takes instructions very responsibly and was great with my skittish cat.”

About: I engage in their personalities and strive to develop a bond with both dogs and cats. I was with my senior cat to the end-of-life. I am a volunteer at Harbor Humane Society. My work hours are Monday thru Friday, 6am - 2pm. I would be available for dog walks/ cat care,and drop- in visits after 3 pm. I have a 2.5 yr old cat a 7 year old cat who are getting along fine. After my 18+ yr old cat passed in May of 2021, I felt it right to get the 7 yr old cat a playmate. They produce a nice sense of harmony in the house.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I was the family member who loved my dogs the most and was relied on to feed, walk, and take care of them. I walk my dogs every day and it's a highlight of my day! I also am asked to take care of my friend's pets many times as well. Along with that, I volunteer at an animal shelter every week. Here I get to hang out with the dogs and take them on walks. I love it! When I am home from school I take care of my dogs all the time. I walk them every day, feed them, bathe them, and anything else they need, I do. I also volunteer at an animal shelter every week. I have a fenced-in yard with two other dogs. One energetic one who loves to play, and an old geezer who loves to sleep. In your home, I can do whatever you need for your dog.
