Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Millbrook, Grand Rapids, MI

“Suzanne takes excellent care of our animals every time we need her help. She is very flexible, accommodating our last minute changes. Our cats are relaxed when we get home so I know they are very comfortable with her. She always sends updates with photos so I know how the pets are doing.”

About: I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands-on experience handling dogs in high-energy environments. I currently work at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I support dogs in group play, monitor behavior, and ensure their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit! I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–6 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

“Jasmine is wonderful and highly recommended. My puppy Teddy has adopted her as one of his people. My shy guy doesn't quickly adapt to many humans but he looks forward to Jasmine's visits each week. 5 Stars for sure!”

“Kelsey took such good care of my cat while we were away! She was able to get our shy little cat to come out of her shell and live her best life! I’ll definitely be looking for Kelsey again if I need to re-book.”

“Tyler took such great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend, including their strict and time-consuming feeding schedule. He is definitely the type of person that animals adore! Our oldest cat tends to be very shy and always hides from new people, but he warmed up to Tyler immediately- no hiding at all! Tyler consistently had a quick response time and sent plenty of pictures throughout our entire trip. This gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so relieved to have found great pet care! Tyler is the best!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

“Helped out with short notice - easy communication and everything went smoothly, will definitely be booking again!”

“Mia loved Katie! She was super flexible with what worked best for her while we were gone for the week. Lots of play time and attention spent. We will definitely work with her again!”

Elisabeth C.

“Kate was an amazing cat sitter!! She was very communicative and quick to respond. She went above and beyond offering to water my plants in addition to loving on and feeding my cat. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my cat was in her care. Will definitely rebook with Kate the next time I need a cat sitter!!”

About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!

“As soon as I reached out to Sheena, she was quick to respond. I liked that she met with my dog and I ahead of time. She dropped in as promised. I appreciated hearing from her afterwards (via text, card and rover follow-up.”

“Rachael is the best. She is so wonderful with Winnie and it makes it a lot easier to leave knowing our dog is being taken care of. We highly recommend her!”

About: Having been surrounded by animals for the majority of my youth, I was gifted with a passion for creatures of all kinds. Early on, I was tasked with petsitting for family members. I have now started pet sitting for family friends, colleagues, and others. I am looking to expand my reach, looking for more opportunities to give my time to this passion. I am a college student studying Biology at GRCC. I have weekends and Fridays off. When I am not at school, my schedule is pretty flexible. After class, I have quite a bit of time, perfect for dog walks, check ins, or anything your pet may need! When house sitting, I do not mind staying over on weekdays. I will still have school, most classes being 3 hours long, with the exception of my Tuesday class which is 6hrs. If you have questions on when my classes get out, what my schedule may look like, or any thing else, please feel free to reach out! Safety and communication is number one for me. I have always made sure to keep a good connection with any pet owners I may be sitting/walking for. I have a good understanding on how an animal may react in stressful situations and how to de-escalate a situation. A pet’s safety and health is incredibly important to understand when working with animals.

“He was very responsive and took great care of my two cats and dog. I would have him back in heart beat!!!”

“I’ve hired Moira to both walk my dog and drop by to let her out. She was great. Very communicative and attentive to my dog’s needs. If I was still in the area, I’d hire her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Natasha, a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry (or feathered!) friends. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’m also happy to care for your home, bringing peace of mind while you travel. Reliable, loving, and attentive—your pets are safe with me! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy early morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening wind-down time with pets, which fits seamlessly into my structured yet flexible schedule. Whether I’m working remotely, running errands nearby, or spending time at home, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. My approach is gentle, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routines.

“Gretchen is timely, kind and very helpful! Sends multiple messages and photos of my cat Bella. She is also very accommodating with my CH kitty (cerebella hypoplasia) and helps her with her unique litter box situation. She definitely makes me feel calm, knowing my cat is in great hands when I’m on vacation! Highly recommend.”
