About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night
“Grace is absolutely amazing with our cats. They perk up when they hear her arriving and are thrilled to receive brushes, pets, and playtime with her. She always sends great pictures of the cats and I know they are in good hands whenever we're away.”

“Noah is very good with animals! He seems to have a special bond with animals! He has been around dogs and cats since he was a baby! He is a responsible person and loves being with animals! He will do a very good job with your pets!”

About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay. I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps. Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀
About: As a young female I have cared for many family pets, so I’ve experienced every stage from puppies to seniors. I provide reliable, structured care whether it’s keeping dogs active with frequent neighborhood walks, taking a nap with them, or just coming to check up on your furbaby if that’s all you need! I currently work about 15 hours a week so I should have plenty of time to give your dog the care he or she needs! I don’t mind sitting during the day or night whatever would make you know your pet is safe. Whether in your home or mine, I like to maintain constant supervision and ensure all dogs will be okay. I use sturdy leashes for every walk and stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any high stress interactions with other animals or people for those sensitive dogs. I also like to make sure your animal eats and feel comfortable enough to make sure they get the proper nutrition.
“Thank you so much for going the extra mile with Mr. Energy!! That is so helpful and esp appreciated after these long busy shifts and the fact I’ve been getting home late and saves me from yet another walk in the dark.”


“I wasn’t sure about having someone in my home with Mama Cat. She is normally pretty skiddish around new people. However, Teresa was amazing. She came the day before to meet Mama and me and she sent photos everyday! I was shocked by how Mama seemed right at home and she seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned. Thank you Teresa for taking care of my happy cat!”

About: I’ve always believed that pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when their people are away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m attentive to the little things, whether that’s making sure they get their medication, sticking to their normal schedule, giving them plenty of love and attention, or noticing when something just seems a little off. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s making sure you can be away knowing your pets are happy, cared for, and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule because animals are already a big part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable working around different routines and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I plan my schedule ahead of time so I can give the pets I’m caring for the time and attention they deserve rather than making them feel like they’re being squeezed into a busy day. My goal is to make their care feel consistent, calm, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Your pets deserve more than just someone stopping by—they deserve someone who genuinely cares about them. I provide loving, dependable in-home pet care tailored to your pet’s normal routine and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including providing medications and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. During visits, I’ll make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also keep their space clean and give you updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

This was the first time I used Barry, and I was extremely pleased with his kindness and the great job he took care of my dogs on such short notice. He even did a meet and great before I went out of town. I will be requesting him to watch my dogs again in the future.
