About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve had experience working at a doggie daycares and kennels. I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 5pm-11pm. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“We loved having Emily come visit our cat while we were gone. Love his happy pictures sent every visit and Emily is so seeet and professional.”

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”

Craig W.

“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

Carl L.

“Mikayla was excellent! Very thorough and thoughtful, both in her care for my cat and her communicating with me while I was away. Would absolutely book again!”

About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)

About: My Golden Retriever, Dutch, loves animals of all sizes! I provide pet sitting in my home and welcome your best friend to stay while you are away. Walks around our quiet neighborhood and trips to the dog park (if appropriate) are part of our pet sitting package. I take only one dog at a time (two if from the same family) to ensure your dog has a special stay while you are away! I work remotely several days a week, and close by and can come home as needed when scheduled ahead. I also have a puppy cam to keep an eye on things while I am away! Lifelong dog mom, caring for other dogs brings me a sense of joy! My home is clean and safe for your dog. I have a field behind me and Dutch enjoys laying in the sun and snow in our back yard. Your dog will be walked daily and can be contained in the back yard if they enjoy being outside. I have references upon request and a long history raising and caring for dogs.

About: I've worked at a Veterinary Clinic for a year where I worked with pets all day! I have owned two dogs, one being a puppy! I’m currently working part-time at Clinic, so I am able to come check on your pet during my lunch break! I am also available to come to your house after work to care for your pet! I am unavailable to board or do doggy day care, but I am able to dog walk, house sit, and dog/cat sit! I love taking care of animals! Working at a clinic has been the best thing for me to know exactly what your pet wants and needs! When staying in your home I will make sure to know how he/she thrives! I will also give daily updates along with a little pic of your pet!

“Charity did an awesome job watching Sophie! She was always on time and provided us with detailed updates. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her. Charity made us feel very confident Sophie was in good hands while we were out of town!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets for family and friends since I was 14. From feeding and walks to playtime, bathing, and ensuring their safety, I treat every dog like my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Our home is full of love, and my kids (ages 5–16) enjoy helping give extra attention and playtime (always supervised). Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us! Every other week we travel to Coopersville for school needs—and your pup is more than welcome to come along and enjoy the ride and have an adventure! While we don’t have a fenced yard and live in a quiet mobile home community, we make up for it with plenty of activity! We’re surrounded by miles of bike paths, nearby parks, on-leash trails, and a large dog park—so your pup will get all the exercise and stimulation they need.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life! I have taken care of dogs throughout high school and even in college! I do not have a dog of my own yet due to trying to see if I want a puppy/what breed my boyfriend and I want! It’s in the works! I have had boxers and beagles growing up in my family home but would always dog sit my neighbors dogs, friends dogs, and more! I am a full time RN and work 3 days a week! Looking to play and hangout with dogs on my days off to help others who are also working their full time jobs! Looking to make some extra money on my days off :) Just moved into an apartment complex that is dog friendly with a brand new dog park! Also has a long path to walk dogs outside during the day!

“Emily was wonderful to work with and took great care of my cat while we were away. She made sure to send pictures frequently and was great with communication and updates. She played with our cat well and made sure that she got attention during visits. I would recommend!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.

“Leah stopped over to feed our dogs and let them out for a break. I left detailed instructions because one is a puppy and the other has medical issues. Leah followed my instructions perfectly. Highly recommend. We would hire her again.”
