Dog Sitting Kalamazoo

“Christi took exceptional care of my puppers while I was out of town. She was fantastic. The check in cards were a great feature, Christi gave updates and photos during visits. Knowing my fur family was in good hands provided the peace of mind I needed. I would choose Christi as my pup sitter any day!”

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

“Emma was great with Aries and was very easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to love on their pup when they’re away and I look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“Savannah was an amazing solution to my fairly last minute request to feed, walk and play with my pup. She was extremely professional and clearly great with dogs. She gave us updates via text and sent multiple pictures of our pup to let us know everything was okay. I would definitely recommend her services and will book her again the next time I need dog sitting services!”

“Kristen is awesome! She takes such good care of Bodhi, he gets excited when he knows she’s coming. Always at ease and happy when she does her drop in visits. Bodhi and Myself are so lucky to have her!!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've been lucky to parent dogs, cats, and horses, including two retired racing Greyhounds and a tuxedo cat who made me a certified cat person. Beyond my own, I've been caring for pets professionally (i.e., beyond friends and family) for more than 15 years, and after taking some time away while completing my PhD and living abroad, I'm excited to be back doing something I've always loved. In 2011, I started walking pups professionally in Chicago as a side gig during my breaks from tour managing for a band, which quickly turned into my dog-walking clients asking me to stay in their home with their pets while they were away. Over the span of just a few years, I built relationships with more than 30 clients, with most of them turning into repeat (and repeat and repeat!) clients. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes and everything in between. I've also worked with many pets that required extra patience or specialized care. I've cared for senior pets, dogs < 1yo, a blind Australian Cattle Dog, a deaf cat, highly anxious and stranger-wary dogs, VERY stranger-wary cats, a Beagle with a seizure disorder, and pets receiving medication. I've also been the go-to sitter for a couple of families going through difficult times with their critters, including caring for their pets with terminal illnesses during their final days (both a black lab named Maggie and the sweetest deaf black cat named Sam) . Over the years, I've handled a few very unexpected situations as well. Whether it's a medical event requiring an unexpected trip to the veterinarian or even arriving to a cat drop-in visit to find that the apartment had experienced a break-in (in my Chicago days, which included working with police and gathering the terrified cats from the apartment stairwell), I've stayed calm, communicated clearly, and focused on keeping the critters safe and the clients informed. There have also been several occasions where I've extended my stay last-minute due to a client's canceled flight or interrupted travel plans. One of the biggest differences between my prior pet sitting days and now is my flexibility due to my remote work. When I pet sat extensively throughout Chicago, my tour managing days had ended and I worked a full-time 9-5 downtown. This was fine for my clients, as they had a similar schedule. But I now work fully remotely, so I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to spend much more time with your pets throughout the day than I could years ago. I essentially do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or midday visits whenever possible. My goal is to make life feel as normal and stress-free as possible for your pets while you're away. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd expect someone to show mine, as I've also hired pet sitters over the years for my own critters. I follow your instructions (the more the better!), keep you updated with photos (lots!) and messages, and make sure your pets receive the same routines, rules, and attention they're used to (e.g., their feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company).

“Kierra was extremely accommodating, prompt to respond, detailed in the visit notes and went above and beyond to take care of 2 very rambunctious dogs. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

“We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was a kid, and currently have 3 dogs of my own. 2 of them are seniors at 12 years old, one is 7. I have experience with rescues, as well as all different types of breeds and sizes. I’m happy to meet your pet where they’re at, whether that’s a good walk, exercise, throwing the ball, or just providing a lap to cuddle. I am able to administer medication as well as shots as needed. I have experience with diabetic animals as well as thyroid problems. My own pets have had various quirky needs so I am happy to follow your instructions on how to give the best care for your babies. I have no problem attending to whatever routine is going to make them comfortable =) I work from home and set my own schedule so I am available at any time of day, any day of the week.

I am happy to stay with your pet in their home as well, whatever is best to keep them comfortable.

About: I worked in veterinary assisting from ages 17-19 at the KL Cat Hospital and Sprinkle Road Vet Clinic. I have always loved and had animals in my life including mice, turtles, cats, dogs, and birds, and have always cared for my friends and relatives pets when they go out of town. I am a certified dog groomer that specializes in difficult dogs, seniors, and puppies, and service animals. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can work any animals routine into my day with ease! I like to make it as seamless as possible for your beloved pet/s. I will care for your pet/s as i would care for my own; with love, kindness, fun, trust, and care. I will follow all instructions you provide and ensure your pet feels loved and cared for. When in your home i will have the utmost respect for your environment and belongings.

About: I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more pets in my home since I was a baby. I have been a cat owner for the last 3 years with my college roommates and my family dog has been with us since he was a puppy I am working as a barista, so I have lots of availability ! it changes day-to-day, but typically I am available in the mornings and afternoons (I usually work evenings) I am very familiar with pets of all kinds and love getting to know their quirks and needs. I can drive pets to the dog park and or / vet/grooming appointments.

About: I've grown up my entire life surrounded by pets. I absolutely love animals, dogs and cats especially. I've spent the last year looking after the pets of fellow family and friends and worked my way up to watching for fellow residents in my city and cities nearby. I'm a full-time employee in a K-12 public school and a part-time student at Wayne State University. My college schedule is flexible, and I still have plenty of time during the day to help. Back home I would feed and water my pets every morning, take them for a walk if the weather was nice, and play games such as fetch. For my clients I will do have your pets fed at the desired time you prefer. I spend time playing with them, giving them the attention they deserve, and a walk.

“Very grateful to Libby for caring for our cat on house visits while we were away. She jumped in last minute, was super communicative, adapted to our cat’s needs, and clearly won her over immediately. Highly recommend!”
