House Sitting in Ionia

“Emily did great with our two dogs. This is the first time we chose to have a dog sitter stay in our house and we do not regret it. Communication was great and she made our two dogs feel very loved with the unlimited pets she gave them. She also did great by going out of her way to clean up around the house.”

“Pamela was AMAZING! This was our first big trip away from Hank, and she took such amazing care of him. He stayed on his puppy schedule and we came back to a happy, tired out pup! Will be hiring Pamela for all trips in the future!”

“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”

“Gru and I love Paige! She was able to stay and look after my giant puppy right after the holidays. She was so kind, a great communicator, and made sure to send pictures. I knew he was in great hands! Thank you, Paige.”

“Kelly is responsive, and easy to get to know. She stayed in our home over spring break with our 2 doggos. 💕 Throughout our trip, Kelly kept us updated on how the dogs were doing, she even sent a few photos and videos. The dogs were well cared for throughout the week. Kelly stayed in our home and left it in perfect condition! She’s a gem, you can’t go wrong trusting your beloved pets in her care.”

“Chelsie took great care of our four cats! I think our youngest two cats want her back because they got lots of play time! She made sure to check our mail and keep it organized. We think our house may have been cleaner when we came home than when we left! We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our house and fur babies.”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!

About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life, ever since I was a child. Since the beginning of September 2022 I have also been working at a doggie daycare/boarding/grooming facility. On top of all of this I have also watched my friends and families ever since I could drive around to there houses (16 years old). I would love to help make your life easier by taking care of your pets as well! I am currently a full-time student as well as a part-time worker and would love to add more pet care to my schedule. I can have more pet care in the mornings I dont work, the evenings and on the weekends! I live in an apartment complex with my two cats, dog, and two guinea pigs. While your animals won't interact with mine, they would love it! In a clients home it is allabout making sure your pet is loved and cared for while you are gone. I will make sure your pet gets the quality time they need while you are gone. I am currently a part-time voice teacher in Grand Rapids as I just moved back to Michigan. I am not gone longer than 4 hours at a time typically. My main services are done in the clients home. This works really well for pets as it doesn’t disrupt their routine while their parents are away. I do my best to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether that involves playing or snuggling on the couch.

About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.

“Paige is a great sitter! I used her for the first time this month for ten days. From the first, punctual communication, to the end of her stay in my home, Paige proved to be an excellent dog sitter/home sitter. I received daily pictures and videos of my dog and her dog running through the fields and cuddling on the bed together. Since our original meet and greet, I had total confidence that Paige would be a good fit for taking care of my pup. She is very easy going and understands dogs. To top it all off, she left my home looking better than when I left! I would not hesitate use Paige again.”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life sense I was a child. I can love your pets like my own in their own environment while you are gone. I currently can work from anywhere. A lot of my bisiness is all online. I can work my business online and still take care of your animals (in your home). I go by their feeding schedule, love on them, play with them, walk them, take them out potty (for dogs) and anything else the is needed to make sure pets a happy and healthy.

“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”

About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.

“Kassidy does a good job!”

“Jackie was fantastic! She really bent over backwards for us. Highest possible recommendation. She even took care our our chickens! Communication and level of care was 5 star. You can tell she is very invested in each animal she cares for. Thank you Jackie!”

About: I have a great experience with many different types of dogs from senior dogs to puppies due to my wonderful experience and training I had working at an animal shelter. Every dog is different and I will take the time to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe with me. I am currently in between jobs as my sportsbook that I was operating unfortunately closed so I have lots of time to look and care after your dogs. I have always believed if your going away and if possible it’s healthiest for the dog to stay in there environment compared to exposing them to a new place. I am more than happy to stay in your home or just stop by and make sure they are happy and safe and well cared for.

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I've attended many dog training sessions with Petsmart and multiple dog training experts. I have three dogs of my own, a pomeranian, a golden doodle and a doberman. I am available anytime Friday thru Sunday for walking and or sitting. I am also available noon to five upon request Monday thru Thursday for dog walking only. I would follow your schedule and routine for your fur babies as needed and requested. I will gladly care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, cows, any animal you could think of! I absolutely love taking care of all animals. I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets and we have a farm, so we have plenty of space to walk, and get exercise. We have a big farmhouse, so there’s plenty of space for your dog to be happy and healthy in our home and will get plenty of playtime and exercise as well.
