Pet Sitting in Ionia

“Mikala was awesome! She was very responsive and friendly. She communicated every visit on the status of Dipper. He was well taken care of and got some play time every visit. I am happy with Mikala’s service and hope to be a repeat customer of hers next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Sherri is a wonderful sitter! Mo really enjoys her company and feels happy and safe with her. She has taken care of Mo twice now and we can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.

“We absolutely love Erica. We had multiple family emergencies all at once and needed aid with the cats during a holiday week, last minute. Not only was Erica responsive to our initial needs but she was extremely accommodating as circumstances changed throughout the week. Our cats have special needs and she has easily earned their trust when administering oral/topical meds. They’re usually skittish with anyone but those who live in the house but they just love when she’s around. Can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our furry friends, and I can’t sing her praises enough. Thank you, Erica!!”

“Thank you so much! Pamela is very respectful and responsible. She treats everything as if it was her own, hence the caring and love of my kitty while I was on vacation. Will definitely be reaching out to Pamela again upon my next vacation!”

“Lee came in and was able to take care of Striker when we needed someone last minute. Striker is a shy and cautious girl, but Lee handled her with the patience and care she needed. Thank you Lee!”

“Kristin was great with my pups! They loved her and she loved them! She sent pictures during her visits and kept me updated. I will definitely have her watch my pups again.”

“Courtney and Caleb were awesome. They are completely trustworthy with your pets and your home. They stopped by the house before they started their visits and got the lay of the land. They checked in every time they visited the cats and took many pics. I was at ease knowing they were taking care of ShoSho and Hildy.”

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.

“Julianne was very friendly and SUPER patient with our extremely anxious dog, Charlie. Scheduling went smoothly, Julianne was flexible and worked with us despite our last minute booking! Julianne was very comfortable with Charlie - who can lack manners when first meeting her (a work in progress for us) which can be difficult for many given she is a relatively larger breed. She sent cute pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going. We are grateful!”

“Kimberly was amazing! Her communication was great, she sent pictures of every walk along with a map of where they went, and overall she took wonderful care of our dog Fitz. We are so glad to have found her! :)”

About: I have many years of experience with dogs including basic training, going for walks, playing fetch in the back yard, food/water/medications if needed and most of all making sure they have fun. I have a very flexible daily/weekly routine, I have an open schedule and would love to help your family and pet out with anything they need. I will love your pet as my own. I will make sure they always have water, getting the exercise they need, training if needed and most of all love and attention they want.

“Katherine was amazing! She won the heart of our grumpy rescue pup and took excellent care of our fur babies while we were away for a week. She was communicative, attentive, and cared for our pups like they were her own”

About: I have experience with dogs for almost 40 years. I also have experience with cats and birds. I have had puppies through their senior years as well as taking some older dogs through the rescue that I work with. I am experienced with giving medication as well as any other needs they may have. I have experience cat sitting for family and they have special diets as well as medicine given twice a day. I am a teacher so will have the summer off to help throughout the day as well as evenings and weekends. I can come to your house, or have them come to mine. My pets, 3 dogs and a bird, are quite literally part of my family. They are allowed everywhere in my home. I treat all animals as though they are one of my own. I have experience with giving medication or special diets as needed. When I have pet sit for other’s I always will do anything requested. I am more than willing to send photos if requested.

About: I started longer-term overnight dog sitting about three years ago. I do frequent daytime potty breaks for friends when they are out of town. I have watched cats as well. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and I enjoy both cat and dog snuggles. Not currently working much, schedule is flexible which is ideal for your puppies that may need potty breaks while you are at work during the day or away on weekends. Unfortunately, I will only go to the clients home. I will not bring other animals into my house. I do own a cat and this is something my husband and I have agreed on.

“Melissa has been a real lifesaver for me many, many times. She's great with both my pets (a rambunctious cat and anxious dog) and can often come over on short notice. She is a great communicator and definitely will take great care of your animals! Highly recommend!”

“Hi there! This was my very first time using Rover and I was certainly very nervous to entrust my little guy with a new sitter since our recent move! However, Alex was fabulous ! He is everything you could want and more from a sitter and from a caregiver to your furry friends/family. Alex is extremely responsive, he arranged for at least 2 visits to meet my cat Oliver and to review schedule, questions, concerns, diet etc. Before actually starting the pet sitting. He got to know Oliver and his demeanor, and my cat took to Alex right away. Alex is gentle, playful and affectionate and you can see that he genuinely cares. I always worry when returning back from a trip about how Oliver may be and how my home may look, and Alex took such great care of my cat and my home looks just as I left it. I now feel comfortable going on more trips to see loved ones and I couldn't have done this without Alex.”

About: I have always had 4 dogs growing up that ranged in size from a shitzu to an english mastiff. In addition to that, I worked at a groomers for 1 1/2 years dealing with all types of dogs and their personalities, conditions, behaviors, special needs, etc. I work a normal job during the day, but I love dogs and would like to take care of them when I have the free time. I am very experienced in safety and environments for the dogs. Having worked in a groomer, I know the importance of the environment and safety concerns.

“Alisa agreed to sit Dude the last minute during a long weekend. She came on time and completed all tasks according to instructions. Thank you, Alisa!”
