“Deborah and her beautiful family did a fantastic job of caring for my dog! He was spoiled with lots of attention and play time. I was sent lots of photos and videos depicting how he adjusted and had lots of fun. I also want to mention their flexibility with pick up/drop off as well as their kindness in being able to care for him longer than planned when I was experiencing a medical emergency. They will definitely see my sweet boy again soon :)”
“Alice had so much fun for the day! Came home and slept all night she was so tuckered out. Sent pictures and videos, and was flexible and easy to communicate with.”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
“I felt great putting my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of pics and my dog looked so happy. He came come tired & she responded quickly too. Definitely recommend!”
“Amy was great! She was calm and easy-going and took great care of my guy. We will hang with Amy again!”
About: I’ve always had experience with animals since I was young, I am a huge empath for animals of all kinds. I can guarantee your pet will be well loved and taken care of with me. Pet care is a top priority in my schedule as I go where I’m needed! Pet care falls into my daily routine as I love to see them as much as possible! Trust in another environment is very important, being able to build trust with others animals is a huge responsibility that requires patience, reliability, and great care.
“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home for 50 years. I absolutely love pets, and treat them like they are just part of the family! I am retired so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I have always loved pets and would enjoy making sure your fur baby is content and happy. I live on a private road in a rural so traffic is mostly very minimal. However, I do leash walk pets so they are safe.
“Courtney is amazing with our dog Maverick. He was well taken care of for doggie day care, she sent me updates throughout the day, including pictures. Our dog definitely had a good day, he slept very well that night and the next day. I would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a great dog sitter or just a play date for their fur-baby.”
About: I’ve had dogs all around me growing up and wouldn’t have it any different! I’ve have 2 dogs most of my life and all of my extended family also has dogs so all holidays and family gathering include many many puppies! My sister is also in veterinary services and she used to do rover during the summer and I would love to help all the time so I figured I’d try it out for myself! I’m currently an MSU sophomore who is home for the summer and looking for a full time job to keep me occupied. I love animals and fur balls of joy so I figured this would be purrrfect!! I live on Gull Lake so my yard is not fenced in but my two dogs have invisible collars and I am a profesional with a leash and wouldn’t mind observing a dog during outside play time! One of my dogs is elderly and just sleeps all day for the most part and the other is very friendly and would love to hangout with other puppies. I also have a cat who rules our house but she steers clear of the dogs for the most part and just lounges about! I am happy to crate your animal or stay at your house to accommodate your animals needs!
“Always a caring doggie watcher. Jillian is definitely a Hershey favorite!”
“Another good care giver day for our dog. It was a treat to see that Soraya now has a fenced in play area. Having other dogs to romp with is Hershey‘s favorite thing.”
About: I started house sitting for family/friends when I was younger. I’ve worked at a dog boarding facility since the day I turned 16 and absolutely love animals! I know a lot of pets don’t like the kennel environment so I’m here to offer that in home experience for your furry family members! My working schedule is pretty flexible if given some notice. I work agency so I only pick up shifts as needed and don’t pickup when I’m sitting :) Let me know your routine and I will follow as instructed. i enjoy whatever your pet enjoys! Whether it’s multiple walks a day or just chilling on the couch! I also can administer medications from insulin injections to just daily pills.
About: I have had a family pet most of my life! I love dogs and love to train them. I have experience watching my friend's dogs while they are on vacation. I work full-time out of our home.

I have a large yard for running off leash or on an e-collar as well as a fenced area. Your pets will never be left unattended or unsupervised. Pets are family and are allowed to roam freely in our home. I can also crate your pet as desired for sleeping or if we have to leave the house briefly.
About: We have had pets for as long as I can remember. I pet sat as kid for neighbors frequently, riding my bike to play with dogs and cats, and feed chickens. My kids all also love animals and are eager to help your pet feel at home, away from home! We have a blue heeler/ border collie who roams in and out of the house, and can easily be kept apart from any dogs we are watching here. We LOVE taking xare of animals, and are learning more with every experience we have pet sitting, and sad every time to see them go! I love having extra snuggle buddies around, and can't wait to take care of your furry friend. We are a homeschool family, and usually home. My children love animals and we love playing with new animals whenever we can. We love to go for walks and hang out in our yard with our dog, pigs, and chickens. We have frequently watched a dog, and she fit in very well here-- we leashed her for potty breaks, crated her when we had to leave, and she roamed the house while we were home.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals when I was younger. Dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, bunnies and horses. Now I only take care of my 3 cats and 3 dogs. I've babysat a couple people's dogs not just during days but they'd spend the night. I've also walked them while watching them. I made sure they've gotten plenty of bathroom breaks.

My Yorkie is almost 4(5 in June) and my Australian is 2 (3 in December) and my second Yorkie is 1( just turned 1 in February) (2024) I'm a stay at home mom I have 2 kids. My oldest is 3 and my youngest will be 2 months soon. The only thing I ask is that your animal is kid friendly.
