Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Dog Massage Therapist
I am a lifelong dog lover who has been working in pet rescue and dog fostering since 2009. Working in dog care full-time since January 2025. Sitting for your pets isn't just a side gig for me. I truly care about your pets and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have my LLC (Relax and Heel Pet Care and Dog Massage) with insurance for pet sitting and dog massage. In early 2026, I completed my certification as a Remedial Canine Massage Therapist. *Service Timing - I will do my best to accommodate the time you submit, as I balance my schedules from various platforms. I aim for a 30-60 min window around your requested time. If you need a very specific time, please let me know in your request.* **House sitting - I do 12-14 hour overnights at your home, plus an additional drop-in visit (45 mins). Happy to add on more drop-in visits for a reduced fee of $20 a visit.** ***I service the northern and eastern Grand Rapids area and a general mile radius surrounding these areas. Those who fall outside of the general service area may be serviced for a small additional fee.*** In the last year, I have done dog sitting and walking for various types of dogs, including high-energy, blind (special needs), young puppies, and those with medical care needs (post-surgery). My former career was in computer graphics, so I LOVE taking photos and videos and love providing fun recaps of my time with the pups with lots of pictures and video for the parents.

Safety, trust & environment
I want to ensure all pets are safe and happy and keep to their normal care and routines. I'm happy to follow any specific care instructions for how you want your pet cared for, walked, and left in your home.
Ratings and reviews
This is the second drop in we’ve had with Mandee and our pups just love her! I appreciate her communication and all the great pics she takes! Today was a last minute situation and she was able to help us out.
Mandee did a great job dropping in with our dogs! This was our first time using this service. Mandee responded quickly to my booking request and was available last minute. She got to know our dogs right away! She played wirh them, took them for walks, gave treats, and made sure they were fed and taken care of. Mandee sent us lots of photos and communication so we felt very comfortable that our pets were being taken care of.
Mandee is Wonderful and our puppy loves her!
We really appreciated all of the photos from Mandee’s drop in visit with our pups.
Mandee's kindness and attention and patience to our fur baby is beyond compare. She takes the time to listen to what we asked her to regarding our puppy's concerns and her safety and her willingness to meet or go anywhere with new strangers. Mandee is wonderful with our puppy and our puppy immediately took to her. We are so thankful for her!
Mandee was fantastic, she went above and beyond in caring for our pup. We could see how happy our dog was with her with the photos she uploaded and she was very attentive. I will be using her in the future and recommend her for walking/drop in services.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible as pet sitting is now my full-time focus. My calendar is regularly updated with any current bookings or times I am unavailable.

- Please feel free to provide as much information as possible. Never feel like it's too much. I leave behind a binder of info on my dogs when I leave them for sitters, and I'm happy to have as much detail as possible. It's really key to know what their main triggers are for stress, anxiety, and possible food allergies.
