“Emily is AWESOME! Our puppies were so happy and loved while we were gone. She gave them cuddles, walks and even didn't mind all their kisses and Oliver snoring at night! Would highly recommend her!.”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
About: I grew up on a hobby farm, and have taken care of dogs, cats, cows and many other animals. I love all animals, big or small, young or old. They are all my favorite. (Going to be honest, reptiles are not my forte) I’m currently not working right now and I’m going through an internship through my church, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I’m available pretty much at any point. If I am to be gone during the day, it would only be for a couple hours. If your furry friend just needs to be let out and walked for the day that’s totally fine. I personally, am someone that enjoys my own space and is comfortable in my own area, and I believe animals are similar. By keeping them in their own space and comfortable with their own surroundings, I feel, it makes them not feel as anxious. I would like to treat the animals exactly as its owner would.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, helping friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walking and feeding to playtime and grooming. Over the past few years, I’ve gained more professional experience by pet sitting regularly and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and providing lots of love and attention. I also have a cat of my own named Charlie, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member—I treat every pet like they’re my own. Right now until school starts my availability is completely open just get with me and I should be able to watch your loved ones at any time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my client’s home, I follow their routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I keep the home tidy, give updates and photos, and make sure pets get plenty of attention. If I’m watching a pet in my own home, I provide a calm, clean space with lots of love, toys, and a cozy place to rest. I treat every animal with patience and care, just like I do with my own cat, Charlie.
“Cindy was great with my fur babies. She took good care of them. My one is especially needy bulldog. I spoiled him so he is definitely lots of care. I also have a German Shepard that is still young. She left my home clean and tidy as it was. I was extremely happy.”
About: I am not kidding when I say I have years of experience. I currently work at a vet, so I’m learning everyday about pets. But this experience started years ago, watching dogs, cats , hedgehogs even since age 12. I have had my share of animal stories. I have experience with sick animals so administering medicine would not be a problem. I can go on multiple walks with your animal (usually dogs but my sister walks her cat ;) And if wanted, I do run so if that is something your animals would want, we could do that. I love animals , so I will make time for them whenever I can . Whether it be a night watching your animals or just a walk to help get their energy out, I’m down for it If you just need someone to keep your animal company, I can join it for a snuggle session. Or if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for a run to get those zoomies out.
About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life, ever since I was a child. Since the beginning of September 2022 I have also been working at a doggie daycare/boarding/grooming facility. On top of all of this I have also watched my friends and families ever since I could drive around to there houses (16 years old). I would love to help make your life easier by taking care of your pets as well! I am currently a full-time student as well as a part-time worker and would love to add more pet care to my schedule. I can have more pet care in the mornings I dont work, the evenings and on the weekends! I live in an apartment complex with my two cats, dog, and two guinea pigs. While your animals won't interact with mine, they would love it! In a clients home it is allabout making sure your pet is loved and cared for while you are gone. I will make sure your pet gets the quality time they need while you are gone. I am currently a part-time voice teacher in Grand Rapids as I just moved back to Michigan. I am not gone longer than 4 hours at a time typically. My main services are done in the clients home. This works really well for pets as it doesn’t disrupt their routine while their parents are away. I do my best to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether that involves playing or snuggling on the couch.
“Paige is a great sitter! I used her for the first time this month for ten days. From the first, punctual communication, to the end of her stay in my home, Paige proved to be an excellent dog sitter/home sitter. I received daily pictures and videos of my dog and her dog running through the fields and cuddling on the bed together. Since our original meet and greet, I had total confidence that Paige would be a good fit for taking care of my pup. She is very easy going and understands dogs. To top it all off, she left my home looking better than when I left! I would not hesitate use Paige again.”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life sense I was a child. I can love your pets like my own in their own environment while you are gone. I currently can work from anywhere. A lot of my bisiness is all online. I can work my business online and still take care of your animals (in your home). I go by their feeding schedule, love on them, play with them, walk them, take them out potty (for dogs) and anything else the is needed to make sure pets a happy and healthy.
“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”
About: I have a great experience with many different types of dogs from senior dogs to puppies due to my wonderful experience and training I had working at an animal shelter. Every dog is different and I will take the time to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe with me. I am currently in between jobs as my sportsbook that I was operating unfortunately closed so I have lots of time to look and care after your dogs. I have always believed if your going away and if possible it’s healthiest for the dog to stay in there environment compared to exposing them to a new place. I am more than happy to stay in your home or just stop by and make sure they are happy and safe and well cared for.
About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.
