1. Jamie S.

“Jamie is amazing! She stayed at our house and watched our 3 dogs for 4 and a half days and 3 nights while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left them all overnight. We all loved her when we first met and besides missing them, I never once worried about whether or not they were being well taken care of while we were away. I left a lot of notes and instructions that I was worried might have been too much, but Jamie really appreciated it. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures too. She took excellent care of our dogs and respected our home. We would definitely hire Jamie again! In fact, I am not sure if I would ever hire anyone else unless I absolutely had to. Thank you Jamie! 😃”


2. Kathryn R.

“Kat was amazing with our pup!!! She kept communication during the full stay, she was interested and supportive in maintaining the conditions and training process as well as excessive, play and eating timings of our dog! She is really loving and caring which helped create a bond with Luna. We were anxious with this first experience but Kat helped us enjoy our trip. Our pup was equilibrated and calmed when we came back home! We recommend her and will rebook when needed.”


3. Amie F.

“This was our time having Amie stay with our dog, Hank! We did a meet and greet first we could meet and Hank could get used to her. Amie did amazing with our little old man Hank! She really put our mind at ease with updates and lots of pictures. You can tell that she really cares about your pets wellbeing. She left our home exactly how we left it. We have a second booking set up with Amie and we plan to use her in future for our fur baby!”

“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.”


5. Ashley W.

“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Ashley! She was incredibly attentive and loving towards our pets, and we were so relieved to know they were in such good hands! She even took the initiative to clean up around the house, making our return home so much easier! Ashley's flexibility and willingness to help with any potential issues were truly appreciated! We'll be forever grateful for her outstanding care and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”


6. Elyse D.

If your looking for some to walk your dog or animal sit...I highly recommend using her! You will not be disappointed. Service with a smile!! Give her a try, I promise you won't regret it.”

15. Cristina M.

“Our Basset hound, Posie, took an immediate liking to Cristina. We are so happy with Cristina's services. We left her for four whole days (3 nights) with Cristina. Not only did she take excellent care of our baby, she contacted us when some critters caused trouble in our garage and resolved the problems. We are extremely happy with her services. She left our house clean, our dog very happy, and was pleasant and helpful. We were especially glad that she stayed in touch with us by phone and text during our absence. She is great!”

About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and epileptic seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. We are able to take frequent breaks. My yard is large AND NOW HAS A COMPLETELY ENCLOSED, FENCED ZONE FOR PETS! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage and Grand Rapids/Byron Center, easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay. Looking to be as accommodating as possible. I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps. Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀
