“Highly recommend Kaitlin for caring for your pet(s)! She is very prompt to respond to requests, very dependable, very interactive with our dogs when she is at the house! They love the attention they get when she is with them!”

“Elizabeth is an incredible petsitter and we would recommend her services again and again. Our 2 cats were well cared for throughout the entire time we were gone and we received detailed updates and photos after each of her visits. I typically get major anxiety leaving our cats when we go on vacation, but hearing from Elizabeth with daily updates gave me total peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions and gave the cats lots of attention and stimulus, even visiting for longer than we requested each day. One of our cats is very cautious of strangers and typically hides for petsitter, but she took an immediate liking to Elizabeth. She must be a great judge of character because we agree that Elizabeth is the best!”


“Shaelie was amazing once again. She is so attentive and patient with my bunny, always communicating well and takes lots of photos which I love. I know my bunny enjoys her visits while I am away.”

“Grace looked in on our cat Chester while we were away and did a great job. We especially loved the photos of him she took and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was there to check in on him. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Grace!”


“Eric did a great job with our two labs. They are high energy dogs, but were properly worn out when I got home. Great communication, regular updates throughout the visit.”

“Thank You so much Emily! We appreciate your flexibility with our additional visit requests and look forward to see Bruce on your Facebook page! Our son is so proud of his “kitty star”!”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of pets since I was a child. I have experience with animals with health issues as well, so that’s no problem! I also volunteered at the Morrison County Humane Society in high school. I’m a college student during the school year and do not have a full time job. I pick up hours as the weeks go on, so pet care is a perfect opportunity to let me be productive while also loving it. I will not care for animals in my home as I live in an apartment complex. I will gladly come to your home and travel within my area.
About: Growing up my neighbors always had dogs and we often took care of them while they were away, which is where my love for dogs began. In college my roommate bought a puppy and I helped her raise it for the first 2 years until we graduated. During this time, my responsibilities were being the first one to take her out to the bathroom in the morning, being that I was always the first one awake! Also because I enjoy going for runs, I was the one who brought Finn on daily walk/runs, while also helping train her to live inside our house. Also, in college, the family I nannied bought a puppy and I helped them through the first steps of training her. During this process I really learned the steps of how to care for dogs being that I was the one taking care of her from 7-5 each day. I am looking into adopting a puppy of my own now, but I wish to be more financially stable before I get one. So to satisfy my puppy fever, for now I hope to dog sit and dog walk until I can afford one of my own!
About: Years of dog experience from puppies to hospice dogs. Your pet is just as important to me & will receive great care! Lots of love, treats, exercise & opportunities to socialize & play under supervision! I live & work in Grand Rapids Thursday evening to Tuesday afternoon. Lots of weekend flexibility, open spaces to walk, trears and lots of attention! Putter (10) & Nelly (12) love everyone! Dogs are with me 24/7 with very little alone times. Multiple walks daily ranging from .5 to 2 miles! Lots of trails and opportunities to explore supervised!
About: I’ve always cared for family pets and currently own two cats, one of which is happily trained to wear the elaborate sweaters I make him and goes on daily walks on a leash. I am comfortable with any special needs that may arise such as giving meds or other basic vet care, and enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Let my flexible schedule fit into your routine! I am available days, evenings, and weekends. I know how disruptive time away cat be for your pet — I’m happy to do what I can to keep the normalcy flowing for them. I am happy to follow all guidelines you have about your pet’s care, from leashed outside visits only to regular ear scritches. I care for pets how I would want mine to be treated — safely, and with compassion.
