About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself. I am working remotely and able to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.

“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”


About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. Love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it’s is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of try scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“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.”


“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, for family and friends who are pet parents, I am their first choice when it comes to pet sitting. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelters and to me, the animal's well-being is my highest priority. I have a job with flexible work hours so I can always make time to take care of your best friend. I also work remotely so I can be with your pet for however long is needed. If I am at the client's house, I will follow any and all special instructions involving taking care of their pet. I will make sure the dog is fed, gets plenty of exercise, clean up any messes, and just make sure that they feel safe and cared for.

About: I have previously taken care of pets for close family friends when I was in undergrad and I miss it dearly. Getting to know your pet(s) and the type of routines and care they need is something I respect and take seriously. Bringing comfort and joy to pets is a fulfilling and worthwhile occupation I enjoy. (It’s also a great way for me to destress as a graduate student!) I am currently a second-year graduate student at Western Michigan University studying occupational therapy. I am currently in my Level I clinical rotations for the degree program. My current class schedule for the summer term is as follows: fieldwork- Tuesdays and Thursdays 3pm-7pm; and Wednesday: 9am-12:30pm & 5:30-8pm. When the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters come, my schedule will be changing. I will inform clients of all schedule changes. Every pet has his/her own specific needs and requirements when it comes to needing top-quality care. My goal as a pet sitter is to get to know both the family and the pet, through building positive relationships and learning about each pet’s specific needs and routines. I strive to bring comfort and joy to each pet I encounter while their humans are away.

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!

Leah S.
“Leah is a fabulous dog sitter!! I was hesitant at first to have anyone watch one of my dogs, since my dog was a rescue and was fearful of people and barked at everyone! Leah is the one exception. She has a calming influence and compassion for these animals - my dogs love her! She is also very responsible and committed. I was impressed when she learned how to administer the weekly shot that one of my dogs requires. She did it without hesitation - others have not been as willing. I highly recommend her!”


Rachel G.
