About: Experienced & Passionate: Lifelong pet owner and professional pet sitter. Even the grumpiest pets love me! - Flexible Schedule: Going to school full-time and petsitting in the meantime. - Reliable Communication:Available for regular updates and calls with pet owners. - Impeccable Care: Committed to leaving your home spotless and providing loving care for all animals. - No Extra Costs:I bring my own food and cover all my personal needs. Choose a trusted pet sitter who understands your pets' needs and maintains the highest standards of care. My schedule is very flexible to work around your schedule but I may have drop ins or walks booked as well. Let me know if you have questions. I can come to you and walk, play with, feed, and watch your beloved fur-family. I'm very respectful of the home and of the pets. Also, the potted plant in the pictures I was letting the owner know a squirrel knocked their plant over. Please disregard.

“Sabrina was such a blessing to our family for the last few months! She was completely reliable and took such great care of our Jed, she truly understood his needs. Our senior dog needed to be let out during the day and have someone just spend time with him so he could get out some energy. Sabrina came and took such great care of him and took the cutest pictures. I would recommend her for any type of pet sitting. We will be reaching back out in the future when I’m back at work and our kid gets into daycare!”

“Eden was amazing. They had great communication with me throughout the whole time they were taking care of my baby. Eden always kept me informed, sent a lot of pictures, and I felt reassured that Roberto was being taken care of very well! My only concern is that Roberto likes Eden more than me 😂”

“Katelyn is amazing. We receive detailed notes about her visit with our sweet Riley. The pics are affirmation that our fur baby is loved and cares for.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.

“Molly did great! It was my first time setting up a Rover visit and she was willing to to a meet and greet, took some notes and was so nice. I was happy with the attention she provided to my pups!”

“This is our second time using Brittani and she was wonderful. She was punctual, checked in regularly, and went above and beyond what was expected. We will definitely being using her again in the future.”

About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!

About: My name is Chelsea. I am a United States Navy Veteran and West Michigan native who finds purpose and passion through caring for animals. Unfortunately, we cannot bring our beloved pets everywhere we go in life, which is why I understand how necessary it is to find a trustworthy, reliable, and loving sitter. From traveling to pet sit in southern California, fostering a German sheperd for 9 months, or driving down the road to give some love at lunchtime to local animals, I'm your sitter! I'm currently working part time, and am able to dedicate time to care for pet care. I look forward to discussing time-frames that are needed to give your pet everything they need to live happy and healthy! While responsible for your pets, there will be keen attention to detail to maintain safety. Leashes, toys, and interactions with other animals will be monitored accordingly.

“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.”

“Taylor is the best! She takes such good care of my cat. She goes above and beyond, always staying longer than booked for, and sends the best pictures and detailed updates. She even noticed I had a dustpan under the litter box and cleaned up without me ever asking. I feel so much better being away when I know Taylor is checking in on my cat!”

Ariella K.

“Sydney was great at taking care of our kitties while we were away for an extended time. We would definitely work with her again!”

“I had the privilege of having Jade be able to stop over to let my golden pup, Kaia, out and play with her for a short while daily. Jade was amazing and I am so glad Kaia got have such a good time every day. If it weren’t for my wife getting a job working from home, we would have had her do this a lot longer. Jade is very detailed with photos and descriptions, making it seem like you never left your fur baby in the first place. I’d recommend her to anyone; thank you Jade!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a kid as I come from a big dog loving family! Starting with my personal and family experience: I have 2 dogs of my own: Pretzel who’s a Lab/Beagle mix and Wallace who is Lab/Heeler/Terrier mix! I have plenty of experience watching my sisters dogs, my best friends dogs, and my parents dogs. In college, I had a part-time job dropping in on a dog whose owner worked in the medical field and would have long shifts. I would go play with her, take her out to go potty and just spend time with her so she wasn’t alone for long periods of time! Aside from pet sitting for family and friends regularly, I don’t have a lot of experience outside of that; but it has always been a dream of mine to get a business like this running so I can spend my time doing what I love most, being around and caring for dogs! I feel comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Just some of the breeds I have interacted with are Dachshund, Beagle/Dachshund mix, Lab/Beagle mix, Rottweiler, Catahoula Leopard, Anatolian Shepherd, Goldendoodle, Lab/Doberman mix, and Pomskey. I am really excited about this new adventure and I hope you will pick me as your sitter! Currently I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, so I have plenty of time in between to spend with other pups! I hope at some point I could have this replace my current job! Unfortunately, my dogs aren’t the most friendly with others so I cannot offer services in my home. However, there is potential for me to have pets outside in my fenced in area for some outdoor playtime! Depending on my availability I am okay with overnights at your house if you are on vacation! I would treat your pets like they were my own and follow any instructions you have! Lastly, I offer dog walking services. I would love the exercise just as much as your pup would!!

About: I love animals, and dogs have a special place in my heart! I’ve been a dog groomer since I was 16 and have had lots of experience caring for dogs/cats. From feeding, walking, kenneling and playing, I’ll love your pet like they are my own! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open during the week to care for and love your pets! Contact me and see when I’m available:) I have been trained by dog groomers and boarders to safely and lovingly care for your pet, ensuring a positive experience for both the pet and myself.

“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!”

“Ashlyn was prompt to reply and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs for Arya's care. Highly recommend”

About: ♡pricing is flexable message me for details I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a self taught groomer! I will only be booking appointments on days that I can be fully present and involved with the pets scheduled. My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. * I am available for drop ins(potty breaks and walks) in the hudsonville-jenison area on Tuesdays and Thursdays aswell! There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Our yard is not fenced but we do have fenced in areas.Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 If your dog is medium-giant we prefer them to have a calm demeanor (couch potato) if not,but this is not a requirement 😉 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡
