“This is the third time we have used Taylor to drop in and check on our cats - as always she does an amazing job taking care of them and providing us comfort that they are in excellent hands while we are away.”

“Betsy was amazing! Our kitties loved her and she took such good care of them. She also took care of our many bird feeders and bird baths and she kept the house spotless. Thanks to her we can now think about future trips.”
“Sabrina did a wonderful job with my two cats!! She was very responsive to all of my texts and when above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

About: I have been a regular house/dog sitter since I was 13 for family friends, neighbors, family, etc. I know how important peace of mind is. That’s why I send honest, detailed updates—including photos and videos—during every visit. I listen closely and follow your pet’s routine, checking in promptly if anything unexpected arises. I am also very detail oriented and adaptable, whether it’s a last-minute schedule change, a broken leash, or a pet needing a shortcut walk on hot days—I adapt on the spot. Let’s chat about your needs, whether it's daily walks, medication management, or extra playtime. Reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet, and rest easy knowing your furry family is in capable, trusted hands. 😊 I just finished my pilot’s license and moved back home, so I have lots of time and a flexible schedule to help whenever you need! Though I don’t host animals in my own home, I’m highly adaptable to new environments, quickly picking up on house layouts, routines, and comfort zones. I value each animal’s established feeding, exercise, and rest schedules, and always respect your preferences as the owner. Whether it’s maintaining safety and structure or adjusting on short notice, I bring consistency and dedication.
“Shelby was a delightful to work with and she took very good care our two cats Precious and Shadow. Shelby was very caring with Precious and Shadow and we would definitely use her service in the future. We strongly recommend Shelby.”
“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”

About: For the past three years my friends and family has had dogs and have asked me many times to stop by to let them out, take them on walks, or just to hangout with them for a little bit. I currently work part-time so my schedule is all over the place but I would love to work with anyone who is willing to have a flexible schedule with me. My backyard is not fenced in but there is plenty of room for your fur baby to run around and plenty of toys to play with. I have two friendly pups at home to keep your pup busy for the day.
About: I welcome dogs of any breed into my home. I’ll treat your dog like it’s one of my own. They will also have dogs to play with while here! I’m available on weekends! Friday nights after 5:30pm until Sunday night around 9pm. In the summer I’ll be available week nights and if my schedule changes I will update everyone! (I do take dogs on some holidays! Message for details!) I have a no fenced yard, but I live in a rural area with little traffic down a lake road. My yard is over an acre and butts up to a field with only one neighbor who’s rarely home. My dogs have a blast running around outside! I also usually allow my dogs to roam the house while we are home and crate them while we leave.
About: I've been working with and caring for animals many years of my life. From huskies to terriers, to kittens and strays, I treat them the way friends do for one another. I put their needs before mine. I keep them in my sight, in the case of danger, to ensure their safety and overall well-being. Therefore, they will be loved and treated like family. I have an open schedule besides Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 11am. Additionally, I am devoted to your pet's needs and strive to accommodate your schedule. I have been caring for stray cats in my backyard for the past three years, with many of them needing specialty care. Whether it's a dog like my past companion, a husky named Ruby, or my friendly terriers, I adjust to their needs. I provide them with what they need. Whether they require adjustments for social anxiety or have a hard time on the leash or specific food requirements, I am familiar with these aspects. I am always willing to do what is best for them.
About: I have 6 years of professional experience in animal care, body language, and handling. My dedication, knowledge, and love that goes into caring for pets are some of my strongest attributes. I care for others pets how I would care for my own! I am “reactive” dog friendly and have the ability to give medications or insulin injections as well, due to my extensive experience. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to make visits to your home to care for your pets. Whether it be a single drop in visit, or multiple. When caring for others pets, supervision is paramount for safety. Your pet’s time with me will be fully supervised during my visits to your home.
About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.
