“Michael was great with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. They are both fairly high energy and one can be a little standoffish, but it wasn’t an issue at all. He took the time during our meet and greet for the dogs to get comfortable with him and we couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“Bel was an excellent dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my three dogs. She sent pictures and informed throughout the day. My dogs loved being with her I would definitely recommend Bel for any pet sitting needs !”

“Dawn stayed with my dog and grand dog for a week and did an outstanding job! She communicated regularly with both words and photos which gave us great peace of mind (and heart) while we were away with extended family. The dogs were loved on, fed well, and exercised every day. She also took great care of our home -- looked like no one had been here when we returned. I highly recommend Dawn as a pet and house sitter!”

“Amanda is very friendly and was great with our two dogs. We have one that is wary of new people and it seemed to not be an issue. She is an excellent communicator and left our house as clean as it was when we left.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve been around all types of breeds, from great dane, to Shih Tzu! Pup or Grand-pup, i’m the girl for you! I currently work part-time with flexible hours! Normally any day from 9-2 is perfect! Wednesdays I have an event from 6pm-8pm but other than that i’m free! I do prefer to stay in home. This makes animals more comfortable with a new person! I am also a house cleaner on the side so I will be sure to leave your home spotless and clean like no one was ever there!
“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”

About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.

“Nancy was very thorough with communication (including photos and videos). It was great to know that our dog was comfortable and enjoying her time with Nancy while we were away! Nancy took care with our home and when we returned, everything was as we left it. We would highly recommend Nancy as a house/pet sitter!”

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: I have been around cats, dogs and farm animals my entire life. I have had multiple cats and dogs at all times and of all sizes. I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible! I am currently working at a marina but am very flexible to work around that schedule for mornings, evenings, weekends and weekdays. I have a car and am able to come on short notice. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but live just down the road from a fenced dog park.
“We recommend Debra with the highest rating. She exceeded our expectations in house and dog sitting! She could not have been more kind, patient and professional in taking care of our dog who is tricky since he is a rescue. She is super dependable, loving, and considerate. What a wonderful gift it is to have her in our dog care program. We hope we can have her back in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their furry friends. I provide attentive, personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach, including administering basic medications and sticking closely to routines. I’m patient, reliable, and great at reading animal behavior, which helps me keep pets calm, safe, and happy while you’re away! I do have some experience with cats and farm animals! Always happy to spend time with a furry friend, large or small! Caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. I enjoy being active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I also make time for check-ins, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention so pets feel loved and not just “watched.” I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Given I have a full time job outside of sitting, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible while keeping your home clean and respected. My goal is to keep your pet happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.

Michael was amazing! We threw him for a loop by adopting two lizards before his stay and he totally took it in stride. He was flexible, attentive and took incredible care of all our animals. There were several food and medicine schedules to adhere to with for two dogs, one cat and three lizards and he was spot on the entire time he was here. He also took the extra step of checking our fence line for possible damage from trees, etc. every morning to ensure our dogs' safety. We noticed that he even brought in our mail and packages for us, which was an unexpected bonus. He left the home as clean as it was when he arrived. We were able to take our trip with zero worry or stress, he really is the best! We will most definitely be booking with him in the future.

Dawn stayed with my dog and grand dog for a week and did an outstanding job! She communicated regularly with both words and photos which gave us great peace of mind (and heart) while we were away with extended family. The dogs were loved on, fed well, and exercised every day. She also took great care of our home -- looked like no one had been here when we returned. I highly recommend Dawn as a pet and house sitter!

Dawn was fantastic, kept us up to date and sent pictures throughout her stay with our 3 pups. She was responsive to all of our pups needs. She also saved our trip when our other dog sitter had to cancel at last minute due to family emergency. After meeting her, we had no hesitation leaving our fur babies in her very capable care. Would have Dawn take care of them again in a minute
