House Sitting in New Era

“Deb did an awesome job watching and caring for our pets. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Our pets (one dog and two cats) very much appreciated Stephanie’s care this past week, as did we! She sent daily updates with photos and other details about how each pet was doing. We would recommend her to anyone.”

“Jaden handled my pups great and left my home in perfect condition. Will be using Jaden again in the future!!!”

“Lauri has watched my dog, Baci, several times over the past few years. Friends of mine have used her to watch their dogs as well. She is loving towards pets and reliable. Lauri is very active and is great with any size dog or activity level. I received updates on how Baci was doing, and could tell she was being cared for very well. Baci gets excited for her stays with Lauri. I highly recommend her.”

“Maddie took watched our cat while we were on vacation. He was glad to see us on our return but I could tell he was well cared for.”

“Melissa is an incredible sitter. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her. She is wonderful. Lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay with our pups. Lovely to chat with too!”

“Elle has helped me out many times with caring for my animals and my home. She has a special relationship with all animals and is very patient, loving, and kind. She is very responsible and follows directions to the letter when caring for pets and homes.”

“Katelyn is awesome! Our two dogs absolutely love her. She always keeps in contact and sends pics. We had a great first experience using Rover and will be using Katelyn again.”

“She was great. Dogs really like her. She did a great job.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have lived through the puppy stage to the senior age. I love them all, and can’t wait to meet your pup! My work schedule varies weekly but I work part time and am in school. I can do boarding most days with notice and can do stop in visits on my days off as well. I live on almost an acre of land. Although we don’t have a fence yet, there’s plenty of space for running around. I can also do drop in visits and play with your pup in the comfort of your own home.

“My dog Dwight is always so happy to see Rylee. She has a very calming attitude about her that I think dogs respond really well with. My dog also loves playing so Rylee always brings her own golden retriever Phoenix to burn some energy for them both. High recommend!!”

“brenda is such an amazing woman with a hear of gold. shes a true lover of all animals,and is one of the most kindest people ive ever known,im truly blessed to call her my friend. ive known her for many ears and has always been a person of integrity,and truly strives to be a better person with every new day. i for one would trust her with my life as she is one of the most caring individuals ive ever met. smart,funny as well as witty and lovable. anyone whos around her can always be themselves as she accepts anyone for who they are,and is loved by many people,so its with nothing but love for this beautiful soul i have to say...shes wonderful”

“Randi was so great with our pup sully! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but she made sure to update us the whole weekend with lots of pictures!! Sully had a blast and was in such a good mood when we came home, I could tell she took really good care of him (: we will definitely be having her watch him next time we go out of town!!”

About: I live and am registered on this app in Twin Lake, MI so I will show up in that radius of search, but have a place to stay near Spring Lake, MI, Zeeland, MI and Coloma, MI and can help out in those areas as well. If you know anyone in these areas who needs pet watching feel free to connect them with me. All prices listed can be negotiated by either me or clients upon confirming more details (distance to home, time of stay, ease of pet care, amount of pets, etc.) none of the listed prices are fixed but keep in mind they are an average charge. "Nightly" charge includes a "full day & full night" charge. If you wish for only a "full day" or only a "full night" of in-home stay at your home, the price will be $65. My home is not publicly available but the option isn't completely off-limits; we can discuss the possibility if it's absolutely preferred/necessary for you/your pet(s). I have access to 70+ acres of land in the family for safe dog running, including the option for guarded dog socialization at the house, if you allow. I know a bit of the surrounding areas and go on lots of outdoor adventures (river fishing, lake fishing at our Baldwin cabin, ice fishing (our Baldwin cabin & other locations), mushroom hunting, general hiking, outdoor workouts and jogging, etc...) and would love to have your pet experience these exciting trips with me, depending on your comfortability. I volunteered at Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon and had the opportunity to interact with many wolf-dogs, general farm animals, and other wild animals that were rescued. One of the wolf-dogs, named Bear, was particularly picky & known to have been violent with other workers but warmed up to me well on my second day working and I had no issues with him. I've always had a dog growing up, limited to one 40-60 pound at a time. I owned my own German Shepherd/Labrador mix for about a year but moving changed the circumstances, the dog stayed with my ex in 2016. I've been caring for my own pets at home (including cats & fish), as well as spending time with friend's & family's pets (including birds and a variety of your basic farm animals) since I can remember. 26 years of watching Cesar Millan and Crocodile Hunter with my family & living with & encountering several animals has instilled in me the skill to properly love and care for your pet. My boyfriend of 3 years (Tom Wall) grew up on a deer farm with multiple dogs constantly around as well, so if you are away or the vet is unreachable he has professional skills to assist. I also have close friends that are vet techs and can be reached for emergencies if necessary. As well, Tom & I often watch a blind senior Jack Russel who takes oral medicine by syringe, and I've worked with similar needs on past dogs. I tend to be more strict when it comes to training dogs in certain areas (jumping up on people, obsessive/constant barking, leash tugging/distracted wandering, coming when called, biting, aggressive behavior while playing or eating, etc.) but have a very lenient heart for snugs on the couch, snackies, and socializing with other people/animals. This is all adjusted to however you allow as long as it's safe for all involved. If sitting for a puppy, I am willing and able to train for basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, gentle, etc.) all dependent on what you as the owner re comfortable with. The reality is, I do not currently have any pets because my boyfriend & I are not home often enough and understand fully that just our love and adoration alone isn't enough to provide a full, quality life for a pet. We need to be able to dedicate hours each day to outdoor time and genuine training and bonding, but right now we just don't have those resources for our own pets. Until the day we are both available enough to fully care for an animal, I will spend as much time with friend's pets, family's pets, neighbor's pets, or catch a request on here and meet a new pup. Every experience I get with someone else's pets helps train me for the future I am eagerly awaiting. I can guarantee I already love your pet and want you to know you are always leaving them with an honest, knowledgable and responsible sitter so they will be safe and content while you are out. Any mile over 15 from my staying place (in any city location) I ask to add $0.50/mile to cover the gas, travel time, and a little extra wear on my vehicle. That includes travel to/from your house *for each drop-in visit*, and each all-day visit will be a one-time to/from travel cost. (example: you live 20 miles away and need me to drop-in twice, this will be a drop-in charge + $10 for extra gas to & from, while an all-day visit will be all-day charge + $5 for gas charge.) If I will already be in the area for some reason (perhaps another client) I will not charge this extra gas fee. I am already an active person who travels often so being able to pass through an area while travelling & get in a quick walk with a dog or drive out & stay a few days with a pet is something so regular for me. Caring for a pet in a client's home will go as to detail as the owner requests as possible. I want to be sure to care for their pets the same way they would, or better, if possible, and leave their home looking as though I was never around. If I offer care in my home (currently unavailable) the pet would be a big part of my & my boyfriend's regular outdoor adventures (if owner allows) and may even meet & socialize with multiple other pets (if owner allows).

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life I got into training adult dogs & puppies as a childhood job & have loved all dogs every since!! I’m currently at home taking a school/work break & thought this would be something settled & laid back & productive to do while I’m back home! Currently I have two bully puppies at home both less than a year & going through training if your furry friend needs help some where I can help so far both of mines are kennel trained, potty trained, and can also sit, stay, down, and wait for their food!!

“Yes he is really good with pets he has had a couple of dogs himself an they are very well taken care off an really healthy to”

“Laura is great! We really appreciate her help and will keep booking with her for sure!”

About: We’ve had a dog in our home since I was age 5. There are 3 children in the home who would love to entertain another dog. We have a partial fenced yard and large walking trail nearby. Our Bernese would love a new friend to play with. We are able to adapt to your dogs needs. My dog is like another child. The kids love to help taking care of her and we do daily walks multiple times a day. There is always someone happy to take a dog out. Our dog is part of the family sleeping on the furniture and in bed. We have the ability to crate if needed however our dog doesn’t require this. I am able to administer oral and injection medications due to my medical training.
