Pet Sitting in Spring Lake

“I was gone for the day and asked Meredith to come mid-day to let my 3 dogs out for a potty break. She came exactly when expected and stayed for a half hour exactly as planned. She sent pictures (which I actually didn't get until later) and gave a little progress report. I'll definitely use her again.”

“Autummn watched our cat for about a week. She was dutiful and loving with our baby. We got multiple pictures everyday and updates with details of our cat’s activities! Our cat has some dietary special needs and takes powder medication on her food. Autummn diligently followed her routine and made sure she was well taken care of in our absence! I would highly recommend her!”

“Always respectful and takes great care of our pup!”

“Molly did an excellent job of taking care of Bailey! She came over to meet her first, prior to pet sitting. She communicated daily with updates. She was very punctual and kept the schedule. I would highly recommend her based on our experience.”

“Michelle was awesome and super great with communication sent lots of pictures and videos which I loved! She was able to fix our automatic feeder when it started having some problems. My cats had lots of playtime, treats and love. They will be in great hands with Michelle and her sweet son in tow!”

About: I got my first dog when I was ten and had him for a good fifteen years. I still miss him constantly but playing and caring for other animals helps. I'm good with all dogs puppies-elderly and toy-BIG My main focus right now is school but it’s online and very flexible so I’m currently looking for ways to make money that are also flexible I make sure the animals have access to water and their stimulants constantly and keep things like their food and walk times as close to their regular schedule as possible as possible

“We rebooked Kristen for our cats and she was great with them. This was her second time looking in after them and they didn’t even hide. So glad we were able to book her again. She’s magic!”

About: I have had animals ever since I was a baby, so I am aware of animal behavior and how to care for animals who require specific needs. I have also been apart of a foster program at Heaven Can Wait (HCW) in Muskegon, Mi. and have fostered and have cared for many animals within the program. I have babysat my family’s friends’ animals during their vacations and have been heavily relied on due to my exceptional care and availability. I currently work a part-time job, so my days are limited per week. Therefore, I will need a week in advance notice so I can make sure I’m available the day(s) you need! I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood, and there are a lot of dog parks and nature around me. (trails, etc.) Also, there is more than enough room in the house to make your furry friends comfortable, relaxed and have the ability to run around! I am understanding of other animals’ needs and will be sure to make even the shy and timid feel comfortable and safe under my care. 😇

“Had to do a last minute reservation and Sarah was there to save the day(s). Highly recommend”

About: I have a very open availability and am looking mostly to help with getting the furry friend some exercise while people are busy. I will follow instructions given by pet parents to meet their pets needs. Contact me about help with your furry friend! I'm open to all breeds. I'm pretty open. Let me know when you need a drop in or walk done. Last minute or planned. I will try to be there for your furry friend. I would give them a good play and a lot of attention, check and fill their food/water/litter or for a dog let them outside to do their business. Also I like to visually inspect around the house for any issues.

About: I have always had a strong passion for all animals of every kind. I grew up taking care of animals as small as hamsters up to cows in the parlor as a part of my daily chores. Once I reached middle school I started volunteering for dog breeders taking care of all the old dogs and caring for the newborn puppies giving shots and creating schedules for them. I also got into the Humane Society taking their animal health course and enrichment class learning how to administer shots, pills, and different ways to train and entertain our fur babies. In high school I went to the Tech Center and did their ag and animal science program where I learned a lot more on healthy diets, quality of life, how to train, as well as vet terminology. I volunteered at Howling Timbers where I cared for domestic, semi-domestic, and no domestic animals of all sorts learning about different animal behaviors and what to look out for, how to handle many challenges, and most importantly how to grow a trusting bond with animals of all sorts of different behavior types and how to get them to trust in me. I now do dog grooming after attending a dog grooming school where I learned how to not only groom, but learned basic vet knowledge and tips to treating, how to work and handle older, aggressive, and anxious dogs. I currently work part time which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for anyone’s needs to be with their loved ones. I have a reliable form of transportation and work short days which also gives the freedom of more time for your pets and also how far I can go! I have spare crates in my home as well as a fenced in backyard which allows for all day access to whatever you pup wants to explore! As for visiting other homes that will mainly depend on the pet parent itself and I always carry extra leashes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a large part of my life. My parents neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and feed their pets ever since I was able to. I am currently work part time during week days I am available everyday during the week anytime after 3:30 and am available anytime on the weekends! At my home I have access to a dog park along with several walking trails nearby. There is also a nearby park and a lot of free and fenced in space for your pets!

“Great communication, great job.”

About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals particularly dogs. I don’t think there has been a point in my life I’ve lived without a dog or two. Now as an adult I’ve turned that passion into dog sitting and caring for others pets. It’s hard to find someone you trust and feel comfortable with as this is dog is part of your family. I would love to help with that. I’ve been a dog sitter for over 26 years now through word of mouth. I have personally owned many chihuahuas, huskies, shepherd mix and a coonhound. I specialize in providing care for older dogs who require special attention and a safe, comfortable environment. Additionally, I have extensive experience with dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, helping them feel secure through extra attention and dedicated time. While I am particularly familiar with smaller breeds, I have also cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my career. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care as their own, I would be delighted to help. I’m currently a stay at home mom with older kids in school (8,14,17 and away at college 19 years old). During the day it would be a quiet relaxed environment. I have a passion for dogs and love helping pet owners with any behavioral issues or support as I care for their pets. I’m able to make the dog comfortable and have enjoyed the bond I create with every dog I watch. My goal is to help those relax while gone knowing they don’t have to worry about the care of their pet. While I normally have one dog at a time, occasionally there may be days when boarding and doggy day care overlap or I may do both on a case by case basis but I will do my best to inform owners ahead of time and accommodate owners and pets accordingly. I first would want to know how you care for your dog in your home. From there I try to adjust how I watch him or her in my home so the pet is comfortable doing what they are use to. Communication is important so I can understand what the needs are and provide a safe environment.

“Jen did a great job with my two pups! A quick visit with some playtime - and made sure everything was as it was supposed to be when she left again! Thank you! We will definitely be calling again!!”

About: I've been pet sitting for a few years now! I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters, and they were integral members of our family. I absolutely love meeting and taking care of new pets, and I've gotten pretty good at it over time. I'll take dogs on walks, or to the dog park, dog beach, and give them baths if needed. I'm in between jobs now, so I have a lot of free time! I start work part-time beginning of June 2025, so I'll still have plenty of time to care for pets then as well :) Not able to have the dogs at our house, but I'll gladly care for your pets at your home in whatever fashion works best for you!

About: Have raised cats and dogs and love having them around us! They add a special dimension of love to every home. Didn’t like using a kennel to board ever! This is so much better! Ready to shower your fur baby with love! I’m currently retired and just love working with animals part time. Currently I have one wonderful tortoise cat living with us. Have had cats and dogs most of our 43 years of marriage. I can provide whatever services you need in your home or visits to your home. I can also transport a pet in our van to the vet or to a dog park.

About: Hello animal lovers! My name is Lydia. I’ve been taking care of animals all my life, and it never fails to bring me joy. I have experience with my own pets, as well as some dog walking experience at the shelter. I always try to get along with every animal I see, and if you ever catch me at a party, I’ll likely be in the corner hanging out with the cat. I’d love to meet your fur babies; I’ll treat them the like kings and queens they are! On a typical week, I’ll be available all week Sunday-Saturday anytime before 5pm. However, with notice in advance, I will accept late night visits and overnight stays. Every client’s needs are different, so I’ll make sure to go over any information with you beforehand about individual needs that each pet may have. Communication is highly important to me, so unless told otherwise, I will make sure to keep in touch so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.
