Pet Sitting in Sherwood

“Mikailia was amazing! She checked on my 3 cats twice a day for a week and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for. She sent adorable updates and pictures so I didn’t feel as homesick for my fur babies as I normally do. She dealt with my diva cat and her picky eating with humor and compassion. We will definitely be using Mikailia again…plus Bean will need to see her man again ;)”

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.

“Brianna and Carter were fabulous! Thank you SO much!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I live to make them feel special and connected. I have adopted senior dogs as well as dealt with special needs dogs and cats before. From giving medications, to picky eaters, to knowing what to watch for in an emergency. I am experienced and will make your pet feel warm and safe. I work from home during business hours, so any animals in my home are always surrounded by love. After business hours we love going for walks and adventures as well as just going on errands where we can stop and check on anyone who needs us to I am not afraid of nippy or fearful dogs. Nor am I worried about aggressive breeds. I can crate dogs as needed. I can read their body language and will not overstep. I will help with bathing or nails if needed. I do have a friendly bernese mountain dog who can come with for walks, as well as 2 toddlers who are growing up trained around how to act with dogs and cats. They will not be mad if your dog nips or knocks them over

About: I’ve taken care of pets for atleast 10 years, for friends and family. I’ve become a pro walker and bather for furry friends. I’ve worked with seniors to puppies. I’ve given animals meds before as well! I’m currently working on my own hours as I please so I’m free for any walks or play time or just some good pets and treats! I have a big home with a big backyard, that isn’t fenced but I do that ties for pups that may need it but I don’t leave dogs unsupervised for potty time or playing fetch in the yard. I also have a kiddie pool for the pups that enjoy it like my lab puppy does! We love to take hikes around the area too so If your pup is up for it so am I! I do have 2 small dog crates for about 10lbs pups, and then I do have a crate for about a 70 lb pup if needed for anything. I also do have a lake property on the range with a dock that is available to use for hot summer days for pups that may be interested in jumping in and swimming!

“Great Job! Very dependable!”

She picked things up about my bunny, like she loves being talked with and sung to, that made me feel like she truly took the time appreciate my free-range sweet baby bunny. Thank You Martine!!”

About: Never lived without any animals. Family and friends relied on me since day one. To feed them, bathe, take them for walks, and too keep them longer then one night. All i do is sit at home right now, Rover is my job. Whenever a owner needs me, i’ll be available. Animals are my daily routine! I have a nice big home, with a big yard, that’s fenced in. The pets can lay on furniture, I have water and food down all day. But if they need there own space to eat, i got that covered. They will have there own area to them selfs.

About: Years of dog experience from puppies to hospice dogs. Your pet is just as important to me & will receive great care! Lots of love, treats, exercise & opportunities to socialize & play under supervision! I live & work in Grand Rapids Thursday evening to Tuesday afternoon. Lots of weekend flexibility, open spaces to walk, trears and lots of attention! Putter (10) & Nelly (12) love everyone! Dogs are with me 24/7 with very little alone times. Multiple walks daily ranging from .5 to 2 miles! Lots of trails and opportunities to explore supervised!

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

About: I’ve had animals all my life (from dogs and cats to cows and horses) and am a form believer that they are more than just pets- they are family. I’m currently working part-time so I would have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies. I am free most afternoons and weekends. I schedule does pick up during the summer months. As I am living on campus I am unable to keep pets in my dorm. However I promise to follow any and all rules that you have to make you and your fur baby feel as safe and comfortable as possible

About: Not only have I took care of dogs, but also cats and rodents! I am fine with cleaning up messes and I love to just sit down and play with pets whenever I take care of any! I am working part-time this summer 7AM-2:30PM on mismatch days. Pets would be getting fed at 6AM on those days, I will make sure to inform the client ahead of time of my schedule. I have two friendly dogs that like to sniff. They are both friendly with cats. I also have a cat, so cat friendly pets are preferred to take care of.

“We absolutely love Cassidie! She is so fun & genuine. You can tell right away when meeting her that she will take the absolute best care of your dogs - and she did! She’s on time, sends updates and pictures, and genuinely cares for your pets. We are so thankful we found her! 10/10 recommend!!”

“Cassandra went above and beyond, even cleaning up for us when my Great Dane had an upset tummy. She was timely, affectionate, and really cared about our pups. She even brought over her dogs for a play date with my Great Dane pup. (She asked first of course) I highly recommend Cassandra and will definitely be using her to watch my babies in the future! Thanks Cassandra!”

About: I have 2 Dogs and one cat of my own. One of my dogs is diabetic so she receives two insulin shots a day. This is something I can provide to pets. I am currently working from home and would easily be able to walk dogs or check in on animals at anytime throughout the day. This would fit well. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my yard is fenced in. At other people’s homes I would walk dogs on a hand held leash if the yard was not fenced in.
