“After having a couple bad experiences with sitters and recently losing Mayhem's brother, I had a lot of feelings about hiring a new sitter. During our meet-and-greet, Michelle immediately sat down with Mayhem and started talking to him and brushing him. He does not warm up to new people easily, but she got him purring right away (albeit while being given a suspicious side-eye). For the booking, Michelle showed up right on time, followed Mayhem's intensive instructions, and took lots of time to love on him. I am very pleased with her service and look forward to having her back!”
“Kaylee is fantastic! Setting someone up with Diesel for the first time made me nervous but she was so kind and relaxed. Diesel can be a little hesitant with new people, but he loved her.”
“Amelia is a wonderful sitter and I cannot recommend her enough. She is polite, timely, and super friendly with our cat. She always sends updates and videos of our cat and is very responsive with communicating visits. Would recommend her every time.”

I can send daily updates with pictures so you can be sure your pup is being well taken care of
About: I have had dogs and cats for half my life. I have also worked at a pet supply store for 4 years, around a bunch of different dogs and animals. I trim nails and can bathe dogs. I am also okay with feeding reptiles, including snakes, as I have had a ball python for 5 years and other reptiles in the past. I am currently a part time employee at a grocery store. I am looking to add more animal time and experience to my days. I am typically available after 12pm. I currently live in an apartment that has a dog park across the street that i take my dog to. I also have a client who I drop in and feed her cats dry and wet food, play with them and clean up. I do occasional nail trims for her cats as well.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have been an animal lover since I was born. When I was in high school I would pet sit for many family’s while they were on vacation. I have been working in the veterinary field for 7 years. I am very comfortable with giving any medications your fur baby needs and can properly care for older pets. I have two German Shepards that are very friendly and love to play! We can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom for 2 little kids. We have plenty of time to go on walks and play with your dog. I have a big back yard that is not fenced In and two very nice dogs for your fur baby to play with. We also have trails in the woods for us to go on plenty of fun walks during the day. I have 4 creates for different size dogs if your pet needs to be created.
“Kelli was super sweet with our golden retriever! She had great communication and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I will book her if we ever need drop ins again without hesitation! Thanks Kelli!”
“Amanda was there when she said she’d be there and communicated great through the whole process. Very friendly and she helped me out with the pup on a very long day. Will use her again!”
About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
“Sara was awesome; did everything we asked of her and more. She was not intimidated by our protective cats and we look forward to using her again in the future. I'm sure they will remember her (:”
About: I work from home and would love to hangout with your pets! I’ve always had pets in the home from cats to birds to dogs. Right now I have a ten year old cat who is in remission from diabetes so I’m trained in injections and medications. My dogs back in Texas are pit bulls so I’m used to large lovable doggies :) I work from home so pets don’t go unattended and always have someone to hangout with. I am free most weekends and my significant other is also home to help out with high energy pups. :) I have walking trails around my apartment and wooded areas out back. My partner and I love to go on walks when weather permitting and would love to take your furry friend with us.
About: I have my own cat, plus 2 dogs at home, and the 2 other cats we have! I am a mom, I have a one year old! Dog/cat sitting is my only job at the moment so I’m very free and open! My other household members take care of my cat while I’m gone! For dog/sitting I will provide 1-3 walks a day depending on your dogs normal schedule, we personally do 2 measured out portions for our dogs, I’m also willing to do bathing, teeth brushing, and medication administration!
“Suraya did her best to meet the needs of my cats despite not physically seeing them (typical cats). She had an emergency but did everything in her power to make it right with me.”
About: I have two dogs myself and genuinely love to spend time with animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me. I also have had puppies/elderly dogs before and am prepared for special needs. I have two dogs at home, both medium energied and with a good temper. I am able to provide care for the dogs all day, however all dogs must be able to be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours in case I have a doctors appointment or grocery shopping and such. If you prefer that your dog be crated during those times you will have to provide the crate. Otherwise I can dog proof my bedroom and leave them in there with water. Never will I leave a dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time. It’s my priority to make sure they are stimulated and cared for. I have housewatched/dogsat at multiple houses before and I haven’t had a bad experience so far. I respect all house rules/pet rules and keep regular contact with owners.
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and lover of animals who grew up with a lot of pets. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all kinds and all ages, from twin toy chihuahuas to my 145-lb Newfoundland/Saint Bernard mix. I have love and respect for all animals and I especially love taking care of and traveling with my senior cat of 7 years and bff, Ducky. I am a friendly people (and fur people) person and would love to help care for your pet! I work part time and have flexibility to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I care for my own pet every day and love to fit meeting new dog and cat friends into my daily schedule. I can drop by to walk your dog (comfortable with large dogs, dogs who need training, etc), feed your cat, or help care for your pet in whatever way you need. I am happy to pet sit in your home or just drop in for a walk. I live on 3 acres and have the perfect area to go for long walks if you want to bring your pet to me, as well.
About: I have multiple years of experience. I work with show dogs, and lots of senior dogs. I’ve stayed at multiple people’s homes and taken care of their senior dogs as well. I also worked at a doggy daycare in Jenison MI ! I have plenty of free time while I am home from school for the holidays. I would love to come and love on your pets! I cannot care for pets in my home because I am in a dorm, and we are not allowed pets where I live, so caring for pets in my clients home is a must.
