“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”

“Ricky was great! We have a large dog that gets meds and two very curious cats but none of it phased him. He made sure all were comfortable and occupied before leaving. We would definitely have him again!”

“Bethany was helpful and caring. She was willing to come Meet before watching our dog. She also listened and gave him his medicine at the exact times needed. She communicated each time his medicine was given which kept my worry down.”

“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”

Holly D.

“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 9 year old Yorkie-Jack as our regular sitter was booked for a day. Michelle sent lots of pictures of Macy throughout her visit. We definitely will book Michelle to hang out with Macy in future visits.”

About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.

“So great! Courtney watched our 2 dogs and 3 cats for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She was so flexible with the timeline and did such a great job and sent us plenty of updates along the way! Took the puppies out for treats and adventures many times! Would definitely trust her with our home/pets again :)”

About: ***HOUSE SITTING REQUESTS PLEASE READ BELOW - MY DOG HOUSE SITS WITH ME *** Hey there, thank you for checking out my page! My name is Joie, I am 24 and I have a huge heart for animals. I just graduated from Grand Valley State University for Wildlife Biology and Natural Resources Management. I have always loved animals since I was a kid, and now I have a dog and a cat of my own. I started dog sitting before Rover for friends and neighbors and since then I have loved the job and wanted to help others in the community! I have always been super involved with animals, I have lots of volunteering under my belt at John Ball Zoo and through GV's Pre-Vet club. I've also previously worked hands on with hundreds of patients at two vet offices. I'd love to hang out with your pets, play, cuddle and pose for photos! (Check out my posted photos to get an idea of the pics you’d receive if you booked with me!) If you're interested in booking with me, just know that I'm working full-time, but as long as we stay in communication, we can work out a plan that suits both of us. I try to be as flexible, reliable, and dedicated to providing the best care for your pets as I can be. *** HOUSE SITTING DISCLAIMER *** I want to be as transparent as possible about my house sitting services. Since I have my own dog, she will be coming with me for this service. This might not make me the best fit for every household, especially if there are pets or people who might not be comfortable with another dog in the space. I always prioritize the comfort and well-being of your home and pets, so if this arrangement isn’t ideal, I completely understand. Rosie is a 5yo, 50lb high-energy dog who is trained and has been well-socialized at dog parks and helping me with house sitting. She loves to play and also does great around cats. If you’re interested, we can arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone gets along. Pet care is second nature to me and is a part of my and my animals' everyday life. Once I learn your pet's routine, each visit will flow even more smoothly than the last! I like to make sure that both the pets and the owner know that they are in good hands. Good communication is key! It definitely helps the stay go smoothly.

“Had an awesome experience with Molly and her dog Izzi! She sent photos and videos throughout dog sitting at my apartment, which eased my nervousness of leaving her alone for the first time. She did really well with my dog and her social anxiety. I will definitely be rehiring her again for future needs! 10/10 Highly recommended.”

“Anna was great! She cared for our dog, gave detailed daily updates and sent lots of pictures. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Will be requesting another house sitting service soon!”

Chandler G.

“Kevin was great. He came for a meet and greet and my dog loved him. My dog seemed very comfortable with him. He communicated well and sent me updates and pictures of my dog while I was away. I would definitely book with him again.”

“Alli is truly an exceptional pet sitter! We felt totally confident that our dog and home were in great hands. Alli is responsible, trustworthy, and incredibly caring. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and a very clean house! Alli truly went above and beyond—not only with the loving care she gave our pup, but also with the attention she gave our home. Everything was so clean and thoughtfully cared for. Our dog struggles with anxiety during fireworks and thunderstorms, and Alli watched her over the 4th of July weekend. It was clear that she provided comfort, patience, and calm throughout—our dog was relaxed and happy when we got home, which means the world to us. Alli is thoughtful, communicative, and respectful, and we are beyond grateful for the amazing care she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and detail-oriented sitter. Thank you so much, Alli—you made our trip stress-free and our return such a joy! We hope to book with you again and again!”

About: Growing up with family dogs to now having one of my own, I am entirely familiar with routine walking, feeding, bathing, transporting and/or administering medications for dogs of all ages. In my 12+ years as a dog/house sitter, I have worked closely with dogs from puppy stage to late senior. From Great Dane to Dachshund, Pit Bull to Poodle, plenty of French Bulldogs and anything in between, I am comfortable meeting your pets' needs in terms of routine and exercise! Whether you are a single dog family, doubled or even tripled, I'm confident in caring for your fur baby. I work best with pets who are able to be alone for up to 8 hours, considering that on Monday-Thursday I am away from the house for up to 8 hours. However, Friday - Sunday I am home and present. I will adapt to whatever familiar rhythm you and your pet have at home. I do my best to mimic the routines you have in place in terms of feeding times, potty breaks, walk and sleep schedule to the best that my own schedule allows.

“Madison did an excellent job watching our 2 dogs and kitten while we were on vacation! She sent updates and made sure to check on them throughout the day when she had class or work. We came home to a clean home and happy animals. We’d definitely use Madison again!”

“Grace was hands down (paws down?!) the best dog sitter I have ever had! I feel so lucky to have found her. She has a wonderful calm, kind presence which really put my dogs at ease. She went above and beyond to make my dogs (one senior, one an energetic 2-year-old) comfortable when I went out of town and it was great having peace of mind knowing she was there taking care of my furbabies. She also took great care of my home and everything was super clean when I got back. :) She is extremely responsible and trustworthy as well as being very knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs, behavior, nutrition, medical issues, etc. I can't rate her highly enough. I told her she was the Mary Poppins of Dog Sitters and it's true--she is magic!”
