About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had loving but sassy golden retriever, she was so nurturing and maternal we nicknamed her Nanny Girl. She always groomed and watched over us kids but also our cats lol! I then was blessed to spend 12 wonderfully sweet years with my black lab. He was such a spunky, funny pup and grew into the sweetest, most gentle little old man. I miss him terribly, but I am not quite ready to get another dog. I frequently dog/cat sit for family and friends and I still have boxes of toys left for your pup to play with. I remember the stress and worry of leaving your fur baby behind and in the care of someone else when going on vacation. I can promise you that I will love and spoil your fur baby as if they were my own. I work from home full time so I will be with your dog all day (with the exception of a possible quick errand). I can accommodate any needs that your dog has. If they are high energy I am very familiar with lots of parks, trails and dog parks in the area to run and play and get all that energy out. If they have slowed down a bit I have a comfy couch and lots of blankets to snuggle up with and toys to play at their pace with. I work remotely, so I am able to be with your pet all day. We can go out for walks frequently or if medication needs to be administered throughout the day I am available to do that. I am very clean and am overly cautious when taking pups outside. I always make sure they are on their leash securely and stay alert for things going on around us.

“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha! She took such great care of our three dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent. They gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and would absolutely love to have her watch them again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Jaimie is very thorough about meeting the needs of our senior dog. We are so grateful to have her care for Bailey so that we can relax when away.”

“It’s the second time I contact Marissa to check-in my cat. Like the first time, she was awesome! She sent pictures of the cat on every visit and took great care of her!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, and even a turtle. so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Currently, I have four dogs and a cat of my own, which has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care needs all at once. I have hands-on experience with everything from training energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand how to read animal body language, create a calm and safe environment, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some comforting company, I’m confident and comfortable providing it all. Currently I am in school to become a EMT so I have class Tuesday, Thursday, and every other Friday until 5 o’clock, I’m looking to do this on the side of a full-time EMT job. EMTs don’t work your normal mon-fri 9-5 they are sporadic and only 10 days out of the month so I’ll have plenty of free time to give your pets the care they need :) I follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or crate time to keep things as consistent as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stick to their usual routine, especially when their owner is away. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision while respecting the client’s space. I’m clean, responsible, and always treat someone else’s home the way I would want mine to be treated. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I focus on making the pets feel secure and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to dog sit, and I can honestly say it’s brought so much joy into my life. It all began with a lovable Rottweiler from across the street, and that experience ignited my passion for caring for dogs. There's nothing quite like the bond that forms when I spend time with them—playing, cuddling, and just being there for them. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I love nurturing that connection. I’ve had the pleasure of watching pups for friends and folks I’ve met through work, and each one has left a pawprint on my heart. Caring for these furry companions makes me feel so fulfilled and truly happy! I’m currently going to school at GVSU and looking for something extra to do to help pay for tuition while enjoying company of furry friends. My shifts at work typically only last 4 hours. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule! I care for pets by giving them love, and taking care of them as if they were my own while their owners are away. I also enjoy walks :)

About: What sets me apart from others is that I have experience in the veterinary field. I have been working at an Animal Clinic for about two years and am a vet assistant. I have a dog of my own I have cared for the past 7 years, and am well versed in knowledge regarding general pet health. I am currently a college student and working part time at my Vet Clinic, so my availability can differ depending on the week. Let me know when works best and we can make it work! I cannot have clients in my own home but am more than willing to care for them in my client’s home. I can bring along leashes, food bowls, and nail trimmers too!

About: I grew up taking care of my family dog since I was little, but started getting my own pets when I was 11. I have cared for rabbits, puppies, kittens, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even horses. I have always been the go to person for my friends at watching their pets. I am currently working part time and in graduate school at Oakland University so I would love to have something extra to fill up my spare time! I have two cats that I feed on a timed schedule daily and clean their litter boxes on a regular basis. They both require extra attention and loving that I am well versed in giving and will also put forth towards anyone else's pets.

About: I've been the main caretaker for every dog in my family. I first recognized my passion for training when I showed a natural connection with the dogs of my dog Bella's puppy preschool. I love teaching any dog new tricks and behaviors that help owners wrangle their lovely balls of fur and fluff in any situation or environment. I have a very flexible schedule because I work on commercial and movies. I can manage early mornings, middles of the day and even evenings! I have plenty of time to care for your pups (and cats)! I can visit your pup at your home and play with them outside in the yard, or take them on walks if your yard is not fenced. I can take dogs on any length of walks (and use training practices that will help with better behaviors on the leash), crate dogs if needed, and give them all the pets they could ask for!

About: I’m a reliable and compassionate animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it's a daily walk, a fun play session, or providing companionship while you're away, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and safe. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs and always go the extra mile to give them the attention and exercise they deserve.

About: Over the past eight years, I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, and even owned chameleon. I’ve made sure pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve handled everything from giving medication to keeping high-energy dogs entertained. I’ve also worked with exotic pets, and making sure their environment stays just right. I take pet sitting seriously and always focus on being dependable, communicative, and giving each pet the care it needs. I will gives your pets all the love and care they need! I currently work part-time, but I'm committed to providing your pets with the attention and exercise they need. On Tuesdays, I'm available before 9:00 AM and after 3:00 PM. For the rest of the week, my schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate pet care appointments throughout the day. As a dedicated dog walker and cat sitter, I want to make sure pets maintain their regular routines, providing familiar care in the comfort of their own homes. For dogs, I offer regular walks tailored and ensuring they receive the necessary exercise to keep their tails wagging. For cats, I adhere to their feeding schedules, keep litter boxes clean, and offer companionship like playing and cuddling. I also administer medications as needed and maintain clear communication with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns.

“Wendy was great! Very attentive, communicative, and trustworthy to be in my home watching my pet while I was away.”


About: Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I’ve been a kid, and eventually became my hometown’s go-to “dog watcher.” I would stay with some dogs multiple weeks in their home, or them at mine. I love the connection I get to have with them, and have grown up always having a dog in my family. I can care for yours in any way you may need! I am most available for walks. I can’t wait to chat and see how I can be of service to you and your best friend! With the job i have, i can do drop ins during the week. I am open to boarding dogs at my own home depending on the size, and can always come to your place and watch them from the comfort of their own space. I work Monday-Friday, but can visit them in the morning and afternoon, and evening, and if i am doing overnight care, stay with them throughout the evening. Weekends I am available, but will need a bit of notice as I work during the week, and can have busy weekends sometimes. I live in a one bedroom apartment, and can house small-medium sized dogs. If you prefer I stay at your place/do check ins, I can do that. I feed, walk, play, and take outside to go to the bathroom when needed. And of course if you have something else in your dogs routine, I can do my best to do that as well!

Bonnie S.

“Bonnie watched our very energetic, 6 month old, puppy for 10 days last summer. She took such good care of her, walked her twice a day, played with her in the yard, snuggled - as much as you can with a puppy with those sharp teeth:) and basically was a great dog mom while we were gone. Bonnie is a very happy and kind person which carried over to her care of our puppy. I observed her being gentle but firm when interacting with our puppy as well as my daughter's dog and could see that she genuinely loves animals. Upon our return I could tell our puppy missed all the love and attention she was given. Bonnie spent a lot of time with our puppy and took great care of her. I would highly recommend her to be your dog's caregiver!”
