House Sitting in Saugatuck

“Amanda is such a kind individual and has had so much patience sitting with our 2 yo GSP. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Amanda manages to provide a calming environment for our dog so she can eventually relax and be at ease. During her stay, she sent us multiple updates with photo’s throughout the day which also helped ease our minds while we were away. It might have been an anxious start to our dogs day, but by the end of the day she was cuddled up on the couch by Amanda ☺️ We will definitely be booking with Amanda again! Highly recommend.”

“Anna did a great job for us. She came ahead of our trip and spent time meeting the dogs so they could all get to know each other. Not only did she make sure the dogs were well taken care of she held down things and the house and left it in great condition.”

“Faith was amazing!! She watched out during our wedding and even brought her to us to take photos. My dog was very anxious and she was perfect in handling her. We are so thankful Faith was there to take care of her and she went so far above and beyond!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was little on my family farm, while sitting for friends and family throughout the years. I also know basic dog commands, from racing a PAWS dog with my family. I am available every day of the week at the time being. I'm available during the most weekend too. I prefer work morning, but have no problems working later in the day. I have goats, chickens, a few pheasant, and a cat I take of regularly on my family's farm, as well as one old grumpy house cat.

About: (Updated 8/16/2025) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 14+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve raised my own pup for the past 4 years, helped care for my childhood dog from puppy to senior, and frequently cared for family dogs along the way. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits—and no matter the service, your pet will get the same love and attention I give my own. I work a full-time job (8–5, Mon–Fri), so I’m available for walks or visits outside those hours, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. While I can’t host pets in my apartment, I’m more than happy to care for your pup in the comfort of their own home. I offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I’ll do my best to visit every 3–6 hours depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to feed, cuddle, walk, play, and give oral medications—whatever your dog needs to feel safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to love on your fur baby like they’re my own!

“Our first time ever using Rover or a pup sitter. Great communication, punctual, sweet, Whiskie was happy to have her in our home. We will be using Sydney again soon.”

“Becca was a great dog and house sitter. Otis was happy and tired upon our return- he played well with her dog too! House looked even better than when we left it when we got home! We’ll definitely book again”

About: I love dogs and always have. I consider myself a dog whisperer because I can get even the most aggressive dogs to feel comfortable and play with me. I always had a dog growing up and have my own 2 year old girl lab. I work in office Monday-Wednesday 8-4pm, and am remote Thursday and Friday. I have weekend availability. I have 2 dogs of my own and am looking to get another soon! I know my boundaries and always make sure the pet is safe. Leashed walks, play time, snuggles, and yes I always pick up after my pet.

About: I love hanging out with all kinds of dogs and cats! Love going on car rides and taking them places too if they like! Especially getting pup cups! I work at a school and coach sports! I also play sports on some evenings and or night but always find time for your fur friends! I am a trustworthy pet sitter and house sitter! I will help take care the lawn and plants if needed! I clean up pretty well before leaving!

About: I have grown up taking care of puppies and dogs in our family my entire life including Potty & Behavioral Training. We have an amazing yellow lab named Buddy that I adore and love caring for every day! He is a member of our family and we love including him in all of our outdoor activities and trips. A lot of our friends and family rely on us for dog care, walks, help with training and overnight pet care which we love! I am at home during the day with a big fenced yard right next to a huge park so we are the perfect choice for dog sitting, walking, boarding, etc 😄 100% safe environment and care for your pet. I know that our pets are important and loved members of the family and I will treat your pup just like they were my own! I am a consultant and work remotely so I have plenty of time to do drop-in visits, walks and pet care during the week and on weekends! I spend a great deal of time getting to know the best way to interact with the animals I care for in order to build a trusting relationship with both pets and their owners.

“Did a fantastic job sitting for my dogs Missy and Zena. Even went beyond and fed the chickens too. Would highly recommend”

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Caroline was wonderful. If you have a choice that’s best for your Dog, pick Caroline.”

About: My husband gifted me with Raphael, my beloved English Cream Retriever, five years ago on my 50th birthday. Since then, dogs have been my focus and passion. They're unconditional love is a precious gift, and I adore taking care of them. I also love to make homemade dog food & treats for my clients. I work part-time from home. I set my schedule, so it's easy to break away for doggie walks, love, & play. We live close to the beach and trails so we stay active and enjoy being outside no matter the weather. We have a large fenced-in yard in a quiet, country setting close to Saugatuck, with tons of wooded trails nearby for walking your pup if needed.

“We are very happy with Courtney’s excellent care of our furry kids! She was very attentive during the meet and greet, got along well with all the animals and sent us updates while we were gone... I can definitely recommend her services ??”

About: There are no dogs in my household except yours! Specialized focused dog care for your furbabies. I dog sit as it is a way for me to get my exercise and maintain my needed fur baby time. I enjoy getting outside and the exercise. I only watch one dog or multiple dogs from the same family. I do not have any full-time dogs at home myself. I have two cats that love dogs (or go hide away - they do not bother dogs) I take care of your dog like my own. I will let your dog out and walk him/her every 2-4 hours. I don’t like dogs be left home alone more than four hours. I walk trails often and hit the dog parks regularly - if you allow that. I am self-employed and am in at out of my house all day. Most of the time I’m doing projects around my house or walking on the trails somewhere. I love taking dogs with and enjoying their company. Quiet household with ONLY ADULTS We have deeded Lake Macatawa Access and a park nearby. We are located on the Macatawa Bike trail (near Dunton park)

About: First off, I am that person who constant smiles when seeing a dog. I have always enjoyed them and the happiness they bring. What I offer is dog walking, drop in dog care and house sitting. I can stay as for as long as you need. My family dog growing up was Jake the blue healer/ lab mix. He was a great dog and brought tons of joy. Never turned down walks or play time and belly rubs. Currently my wife I have an 90 pound lab/mastiff mix who is 6 and a 65 pound German Shorthair Pointer who is 4 years old. Both have tons of personality and are huge lovers. I have experience with caring for dogs big and small with different personalities. I think it is important to interact and play with a dog. While I’m looking for extra money, it’s more about being able to help someone and their dog out. I honestly hope can help you and your dogs and if you need anything just let me know. I have open availability in the mornings and most weekends, I work part time Monday-Thursday, 2:00-6:00pm but otherwise am usually available. I am happy to work around what you need as far as a schedule. My pets have a fenced in yard, both have been crate trained so I do have experience with that as far as getting dogs into crates is concerned.

About: I have kindly and respectfully cared for many different animals. I have also grown up with various different animals. I love the joy they bring to me I am currently in graduate school and my classes are online. I am available during the day, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible. I will ensure your animal is safe. Whether that be on a leash during walks or play time if there is no fenced in yard.
