“Ashley is great! She sent daily updates and pictures, and my miniature dachshund Ruby came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely use Ashley again when I go on vacation, because it seemed like it was a vacation for Ruby too!”

“Molly was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog overnight. Her place is lovely and our dog was instantly comfortable. Her dog is very sweet and calm. Would book here 100% anytime we are in Grand Rapids!”

“This was Molly's second time at Jenn's house and she loved it again. She got excited when we pulled into the driveway and it put us at ease knowing our girl was so well taken care of.”

About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
“Our Golden Retriever, Franklin seemed like he had an awesome time. I can tell Dan and Kelly are both big dog lovers and after Franklins first visit I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”
“Breslin had a wonderful time with Christina and Micheal! They provided consistent updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of our little guy having fun. They treated Breslin like one of their own and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks again!”

“When I picked Murray up from Ru's this morning I could immediately see that he was happy and comfortable. Ru's communication with me has been exceptional. Murray will going back soon. I highly recommend Ru to take care of your fur baby 😉”

“Our pup was scheduled to stay with Tatyana over Memorial Day weekend. Last minute, we found out she was actually able to come up with us, so we no longer needed Tatyana to puppysit. Tatyana was AMAZINGLY understanding and incredibly flexible! She worked with us to figure out the best way to handle the reservation and I am so appreciative. If we ever need a puppysitter in the future, she will definitely be our go to! Thanks again Tatyana!”

“My daughter and I left our sweet pup Violet with Felix and he took wonderful care of her! Our dog is still very pup-like (only 2 1/2 yrs) and needs lots of exercise/activity. Felix was more than accommodating taking her for long walks and to the park to splash around in the lake! When we met Felix and his partner we knew right off that they would take excellent care of Violet and we were not disappointed! Thank you Felix for loving on our pup while we were away for a few days!”

“Pam always take awesome care of Mila and we feel at ease knowing Mila is living her best life. Extra big shout out to Pam for being flexible on our recent stay. The morning of pickup, I had to take my wife to the ER and Pam didn’t even hesitate and let Mila stay over until we got my wife taken care. She is great to work with.”


“We were nervous leaving our little pup for the first time. The care provider sent us pictures during her stay. Puppy was happy an well cared for during her stay. So comforting to now we have excellent options for puppy care.”

“Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++”


“Leslie is absolutely the best! She was so amazing with our high energy Boxer pup, Benny. Her dogs were so friendly to him too. We were beyond anxious about leaving him but she kept us in the loop with pics while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Katherine was absolutely wonderful! She was able to take my pup so last minute and was extremely communicative throughout my trip. Will be rebooking for every trip!!!”

“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”


“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”

“Fantastic Dog Sitter - Highly Recommend Megan! We recently had Megan watch our two dogs, Stella and Queenie, and we couldn't be happier with her service! Megan did a wonderful job keeping Stella and Queenie active and engaged. We could tell from the photos and updates she sent that they were getting plenty of exercise and enjoying their time with her. This was particularly important to us as both our dogs have different energy levels and needs, and Megan handled it perfectly. Beyond just keeping them busy, Megan was incredibly attentive to their individual needs. It was evident that she genuinely cared about their well-being and went the extra mile to ensure they were happy and comfortable. We especially appreciated the thoughtful updates Megan sent. They weren't just generic check-ins. These updates really put our minds at ease while we were away. Without a doubt, we will absolutely be using Megan again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and truly caring dog sitter.”


“Donna is a very caring, thoughtful person. She takes care of multiple dogs at once, some for day care and others who are boarding, so our dog had lots of friends to play with during his stay. She sent us pictures and asked questions when needed, so we felt very comfortable leaving Charly with her. We would definitely recommend her.”

Highly Recommend Sarah! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me cute pictures. She was very accommodating with the arrival and pick up time. Jano had such a a great time and enjoyed all the play time he got with Junie. Whenever we come back to the area. Will always book with her

Amazing boarding experience during our first out of town trip since getting our puppy. Daniel was great with giving us updates and comforting our puppy during a thunderstorm. He also helped to continue with our potty training efforts which was very appreciated. Cashew had a great time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands :) THANK YOU!

Lindsay did a great job taking care of our new puppy for a week! I appreciated her thoroughness in doing a meet & greet before accepting our reservation request to make sure her pup & ours would get along. She sent photos & videos updates & was a great communicator. Our dog is definitely a people person and we could tell he got a lot of attention & felt at home & loved in Lindsay's home. We'd definitely book again. Thank you Lindsay!

This was the second time our dog stayed with Emily and once again, we are so happy with the care she provided. Daily updates including pictures and videos were awesome! Our dog had so much fun playing with Emily’s two dogs. She loved the fenced in yard and all the walks. I highly recommend Emily. Your pet will be so loved and cared for.
