Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.

Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.

About: My schedule is hybrid so I can be in and out during the work day. I grew up around cats and also have a toy fox terrier. I spent a lot of time with labs as well. Spade spent a lot of time with beagles and labs. I used to have a Chihuahua who sadly passed away 2 years ago. The yard is completely fenced in and big enough for them to play. I will also take them for walks. I have experience with injections for dogs that need insulin or medication. I work two days at home three days in office. It is hybrid and a lot of it is spent out in the community so I am able to pop in and out a lot during the work week. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a dog that is super friendly and loving. She loves other animals and any kind of company.

Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.

We had a meet-and-greet prior to the house/dogsitting and our dog liked Abby immediately. She walked our dog daily even in winter and gave us updates with photos. We returned to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog! Thanks, Abby!

I ended up having to cut my trip short. I had booked Makayla for four days to stay at my house and ended up coming home on the second day due to difficulties in my trip. I appreciated that she quickly modified my payment amount.

Lauren is an amazing pet sitter that goes above and beyond. She was kind, caring, and patient with my elderly pup. When I came home I could tell that my pup was relaxed and comfortable with Lauren. She went above and beyond when she saw a few neighbors having an issue with their dogs, she quickly stepped in to help out! I highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!!

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved all kinds of animals and hope to one day have a career working with them. I have been helping care for my own dogs since I was around six years old and have experience with both large breeds, like Labrador Retrievers, and small breeds, like Chihuahuas. I have also cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family while they were away. In addition to dogs and cats, I have owned and cared for two hamsters, a Canadian goose, three ducks, and have experience helping care for horses. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. Currently, I have two Labrador Retrievers named Annie and Delta, and I love spending time caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications, as one of my dogs requires seizure medication three times a day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every animal I look after. I am a junior at Hope College home for the summer so my schedule is fairly open and I am very flexible. I am usually busy weekends and Tuesday and Thursday nights when I am coaching lacrosse. I can care for your dog in your home just as you would care for your dog if you were home. I could easily crate your dog if needed, take them for walks, feed them, and take them out to use the bathroom.

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I have 11+ years of caring for animals and have worked with dogs, specifically puppies for over 4 years. I have tons of experience caring for dogs and have watched many over the years. My husband Nick and I have 3 dogs of our own: a 8 year old Lab/Golden rescue who is blind, a 5 year old Cockapoo and a 4 year old mini Poodle. We also have a 1 year old tailless black kitty and a 3 year old Holland Lop rabbit. We have a fenced in yard and live an active lifestyle which includes playing lots of fetch with the pups and taking many walks. I’ve had experience with dogs with all different personalities and behaviors. Can’t wait to see your fur babies! I am available for boarding most days. I am willing to pick up/ drop off the pup if need be. Right now my schedule is open. I care for my dogs like they are part of the family. I think it’s important to prioritize my dogs need to ensure they are happy and healthy

Helen watched our dogs, Sophie and Tala, and house sat for us over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. She took great care of the dogs, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. When we got back, the house was left clean and virtually untouched—it looked just as we left it. Helen was reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would absolutely recommend her and would gladly have her watch our dogs and home again in the future!
