Pet Sitting in Nunica

“He did not succumb to the eye hypnosis trick my overeating dog uses to convince people she hasn’t been fed in weeks. He was not driven away by the chaos that ensues when a human enters the house. All this and he still came back. Thanks! Great job! Pups love him! Hire him! Woof!”

“My puppy and 2 kitties loved the couple of days they had with Maggie visiting, my cat, who is afraid of even being seen by others, was snuggled up next to her in pictures. And I really appreciated seeing pictures, especially because I was in a last-minute need of someone for a new pup and didn't get a chance to meet her ahead of time. Maggie was very helpful and gracious in all our interactions, including offering to call for an introduction because of my short notice for needing her. I will definitely hire her again when needed.”

“Autummn watched our cat for about a week. She was dutiful and loving with our baby. We got multiple pictures everyday and updates with details of our cat’s activities! Our cat has some dietary special needs and takes powder medication on her food. Autummn diligently followed her routine and made sure she was well taken care of in our absence! I would highly recommend her!”

“Nadaly is SO good with my dog! She arrived early, spent time with him, walked him, and played with him!! She made sure that he had everything that he needed and that he was comfortable before she left. The booking was very last minute so I’m grateful that Nadaly was able and willing to help. I recommend her! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy, Nadaly!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.

About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals particularly dogs. I don’t think there has been a point in my life I’ve lived without a dog or two. Now as an adult I’ve turned that passion into dog sitting and caring for others pets. It’s hard to find someone you trust and feel comfortable with as this is dog is part of your family. I would love to help with that. I’ve been a dog sitter for over 26 years now through word of mouth. I have personally owned many chihuahuas, huskies, shepherd mix and a coonhound. I specialize in providing care for older dogs who require special attention and a safe, comfortable environment. Additionally, I have extensive experience with dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, helping them feel secure through extra attention and dedicated time. While I am particularly familiar with smaller breeds, I have also cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my career. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care as their own, I would be delighted to help. I’m currently a stay at home mom with older kids in school (8,14,17 and away at college 19 years old). During the day it would be a quiet relaxed environment. I have a passion for dogs and love helping pet owners with any behavioral issues or support as I care for their pets. I’m able to make the dog comfortable and have enjoyed the bond I create with every dog I watch. My goal is to help those relax while gone knowing they don’t have to worry about the care of their pet. While I normally have one dog at a time, occasionally there may be days when boarding and doggy day care overlap or I may do both on a case by case basis but I will do my best to inform owners ahead of time and accommodate owners and pets accordingly. I first would want to know how you care for your dog in your home. From there I try to adjust how I watch him or her in my home so the pet is comfortable doing what they are use to. Communication is important so I can understand what the needs are and provide a safe environment.

“Really great communication. Katherine is flexible, kind and honest. Took great care of our sick kitty by administering insulin injections. Really great all around. Will book again.”

About: Growing up my family always owned one or two golden retrievers at a time and instantly fell in love with the breed. I worked at a dog boarding/day care facility for about 3 years. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds along with all sorts of temperaments. With that came taking care of dogs of ALL ages. I’ve handled up to 15 large dogs at a time, also handling cats. Absolutely loved my job and hope to continue working with animals:) I work at a School in Grand Haven, Monday-Friday till around 4p.m. (Sometimes later) So, my evenings are open to walks & drop-ins. My weekends are still available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks! I was lucky enough to grow up with a mom that did full time pet sitting at one point and got to tag along on all her trips. I also pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights, walks, and administering medications, eye drops, pills, ect. So, I know how important it is to be mindful of someone’s else’s home and their four-legged (sometimes three) loved ones.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, I’ve developed a deep love and natural intuition for working with animals of all kinds. I’ve provided pet sitting services both locally and out of state, offering dependable and heartfelt care no matter the location. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended visits, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. What sets me apart is my unique connection and understanding of animal behavior, needs, and energy. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust and comfort with them, creating a calm and loving environment while their people are away. I share my home with two beloved cats who are not only my companions, but also my familiars. They’ve taught me even more about the special bonds animals create with us when treated with respect, kindness, and consistency. Pets bring joy, peace, and magic into my life—and I aim to return the favor every chance I get. a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I have a fully fenced-in backyard perfect for safe outdoor play, and I’m just a short walk to a local dog park—and only a quick drive from several amazing dog-friendly beaches! Whether you need someone to host your pup, drop in for check-ins and walks, or stay overnight to keep your home and pets cozy and secure, I’ve got you covered. I always ensure that your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you're away. Your pets will be treated like family here! I’m a contract worker by trade, which gives me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be available throughout most parts of the day. Whether your pet needs morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily adapt to their routine and provide consistent care and attention when you need it most. I take great care to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet I watch. All of the cleaners used in my home are pet-safe, and any plants I keep are non-toxic to animals. I know how important it is to maintain trust and clear communication, so I always keep an open dialogue with pet parents—whether it’s about special routines, dietary needs, medication, or just sharing a cute photo update. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work part time out of the house and part time in my home. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.

“Mackenzie did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She paid close attention to their individual needs, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and made me feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. It was clear my cats were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the level of care she provided. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter!”

Jerrine F.

“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”

Arisha C.

“Eden was fantastic, he traveled on bad roads to make sure our cats were well cared for. He always communicates well and sends me photos and updates while we are traveling! Thank you, Eden”

About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!

“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.
