House Sitting Ida

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love all animals, young and old. I’m looking forward to taking care of your fur baby!! I work 2 part time/student assistant jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am always willing to schedule and plan ahead as well. I have one cat at home, but that’s it. I am not afraid to work with dogs that are excited or jumpy and I can take them in and out of their crates!

“We’ve used Rylie twice now and she’s done a fantastic job. Our pup seems to have really taken to her. We also accidentally booked 1 night short of our return date and she was happy to adjust plans and stay an extra night!”

“James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.”

“Bobbie was wonderful! My husband and I were scrambling to find a sitter last minute after our original plans with a friend fell through. I was very nervous to have someone new come stay with our dogs, but we really had to trust Bobbie and her already great reviews. She sent us lots of pictures and updates each day that made us feel very comfortable with how Lady & Olive were settling in with her. When we got home there was a very sweet little care package she had left us, with handwritten updates on each day with the dogs and when they went potty or played. Her attention to detail was incredible! Don't hesitate to schedule with Bobbie!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner of my own for a good portion of my life. Mainly cats but have had experience with all types of animals. I like to reassure people and put their minds at ease that their fur babies are safe and sound with me. I want to be both hands on with your pets and respectful of given instructions. I currently am employed but I am looking to become a full-time sitter or make a transition into the industry working alongside animals. I have a long time dream to open my own shelter one day. I care for your pets as if they were my own babies. Mainly following all your instructions and guidelines, with a little touch of love. I will always provide photos for proof of life and keep updates if necessary.

“This was my first time using a house sitter and Hannah was fantastic! She kept in contact with me and sent pictures of my fur babies. If I need a drop-in or house sitting again, I will be scheduling with her. 😊 Thank you, Hannah!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for a long time. I love playing with dogs especially with dog toys like tug of war or fetch. I can also just sit with your dog and keep them company if they enjoy having lazy days I work full time 3 pm to midnight currently but am open to overnights when I get off work and staying with your fur family thru the day before work. I have had animals in my house for many years now and have always been very loving and caring for them. Making sure they get walked accordingly and get loved accordingly.

“Renee took such good care of our Dexter!”

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

“Kirsten was marvelous! She was happy to meet the girls before we set up the house sitting - I wanted to make sure they weren't too rambunctious. Kirsten was great with them and my dogs were well taken care of while we were away. I will book with her again!”

About: For visiting you're special fur babies, I am available to provide potty breaks, walks, changing of food and water, exercise, and play time. For overnight care, all of the above is also applied as well as making sure that your animals feel safe and secure while you're away. Updates on your animal can also be given hourly. I have been dog sitting for about seven years, self-employed. I've always loved dog sitting, since I've grown up around dogs my entire life. My late puppy Delilah suffered from epilepsy, so I am experienced with handling seizures as well as providing medication. I am also experienced with elderly dogs, and helping them get around. if you have any more questions please contact me. Nice to meet you! I’m currently a college student so I’m home for a good majority of the week! Most of my coursework is online, which makes me able to have more time to dedicate towards the care for your pets! For home care, I will keep your dogs on a leash outside at all times! I also will make sure that your animals are safe by keeping a close eye on them!

“Hanna stayed with our cat all week while we were gone. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos all week to get us through the week. 100% will rebook with Hanna.”

About: I have been around dogs and pets since I was very young. We had a family dog I helped take care of and all three of my siblings have had either a dog or cat that I would pet sit. My roommate also currently owns a puppy that I help out with as well. I am currently a full time student at GVSU and I have a part time job but it is very flexible. I can always make scheduling work as long as we communicate! I do not board other dogs very often unless it is dire. But trust and safely will depend on where you live and what you and your pet are comfortable with.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

“Jackie was very loving and caring of our two dogs. Not only did she take care of our two higher-needs dogs, but she watched over our house and kept everything very neat. Great communication and she provided multiple pictures and videos, sometimes twice a day.”

About: Pet Care Experience: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized care, consistent communication, and lots of affection. My ability to handle different temperaments, provide loving, general care, and support older pets with mobility or comfort needs helps me stand out as a reliable, thoughtful sitter. I am a college student on summer break so my schedule is as available as it can be! I am super flexible and want to help out if I can! I am very friendly with dogs and have a way with being trusted easily. I have never been mean or harmful, always friendly and encouraging.

About: I currently have 2 dogs, age range 5-7 years. I am a very active person and I love including my fur babies in my daily activities. We enjoy the riverbank behind our house and large 60 acre walking trails just a quarter-mile down the street. I treat every pet as if he/she were my own. I have experience with many shapes, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience in administering injections and oral medication. I have had pets with medical conditions such as diabetes requiring insulin, and pets with special needs such as complete blindness and deafness. I have had high energy and low energy pets. I can handle anything your pet may require and I love them all the same. I am happiest when I’m taking care of animals and I would love nothing more than to help take care of yours. I work from home during the work week. I am home during the evening and on the weekends as well. Your pet will have frequent bathroom breaks during any stay at my house and plenty of attention. Your dog will enjoy all of the same luxuries my own dogs enjoy daily. All of my dogs get along great with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and they love meeting new friends. While staying in your home, I will respect the rules and schedule of your household.

“Paige was absolutely fantastic! We had her stay for 8 days and watch our two fur babies (one Great Dane and one pitbull). She listened to all my instructions and dispensed the medication that they both needed as well. She sent me updates and pics while we were gone. I will definitely be booking her again when needed!”
