Emily did a great job with our pets! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day. She was available on short notice to help us out with an unexpected last minute change of plans. Our timid Chihuahua mix took to her right away! She left no trace of her stay at our house except happy pups! Thank you!

Couldn't have been happier with how Eileen took care of my fur baby and our home while we were away. She's a true animal lover and respected our schedule for our pup. Highly recommend!

Mark and Kendall were great with our dog obi. Obi has specific exercise needs and can be particular with his routine. They asked all the right questions and followed through taking great care of obi, sending updates and pics every night. We could tell how well cared for obi was, which was a big relief going on a week long vacation. Highly recommend their services and will be using them again in the future

About: Hi! I’m Kaelyn, a reliable and caring animal lover based in Cedar Springs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop in visit, overnight care, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress free experience. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll make sure you receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping them feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time locally, which allows me to provide care before and after work, as well as throughout the day when my schedule permits. I am available for morning and evening walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I understand the importance of consistency, so I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I am also committed to providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for. I treat my pets like members of the family, so I’m going to treat yours like they’re my own. Just let me know if there’s anything special you do and I’ll follow along.

Kittiya is a super sweet very caring individual. Her professionalism is outstanding as she confirms and is there on time. Normally my kitties do not come out for strangers and they ran right up to her as though they already knew her my German Shepherd very much enjoyed spending time with her, I already have her booked for another visit. I highly recommend her.

Caroline was great for her first visit to house set for our 3 pups for the night. She stayed in communication and did what she said she would. She even had to leave early morning and was able to let them out twice and feed them before she left. Will be using her again in the future!

About: As someone who not only has pets but spent over a year working at a pet store I’ve cared for many different types of dogs, learned how to read animal behavior, and understand the importance of safety, routine, and trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat, so I’m used to balancing walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I already plan my days around caring for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, drop-ins, and sitting for others. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes timely feedings, regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and I closely monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe.

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.

I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.
