House Sitting in Sturgis

“We have used Amie multiple times to watch our fur babies and home for us while we’ve been away. Shes exceptional. This time around she was so sad that she couldn’t fit us in for all of our days, so she enlisted the help of her daughter. Above & Beyond is what Amie is ❤️ Bear & Gibbs absolutely love her. We recommend her to everyone!”

“We highly recommend Daizee-Mae. She was very trustworthy and responsible. Our fur baby enjoyed Daizee-Mae’s company. We have booked Daizee-Mae for a 7 night job.”

About: Peace of mind is priceless; I’m here to provide it for you and your pet. My beloved boys passed away a few years ago; it gives me great joy to care for your dogs while you are away. As a dog owner with 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, I understand how important it is to create a loving, safe space while you're away. Previously, I owned and managed a horse boarding facility in Goshen for 15+ years, where I cared for up to 20 horses alongside countless dogs and cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, treats, or frequent walks and potty breaks, your furry friend will be well-loved and cared for as if they were my own. I’ve even been called a “dog whisperer” by some! I know how much your pet can miss you while you’re gone, and I’ll go above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and comforted. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and flexible—ready to accommodate any special requests, from frequent updates to ensuring your little buddy follows their usual routine. Having used Rover myself, I understand how important peace of mind is. Rest assured, I’ll treat your family member with the utmost care and follow all your instructions to the letter. Your pet is welcome on the furniture, on adventures, and in my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved family member! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to mid-day snuggles and evening potty breaks, I can easily integrate your pet's needs into my routine. I ensure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their schedule consistent and comforting. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I live in a quite, safe neighborhood where your pet will be able to have plenty on potty breaks and outside time for walks. I do work full time, however I’m able to come home on my lunch hour for a potty break for your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born but I really started to learn how to properly take care of them when I started working at a Pet Resort. I worked there for 8 months and gained a ton of experience. I am very reliable and more than happy to take care of your furry friend 💗 Currently, I am a college student and working part time as a Behavior Technician. I will always make time to love on and take care of your furry pet🥰 I like to try and play with them as long as they can😁 Then let them take a nap, then play with your furry friend some more! I’m a true believer on many potty breaks and fresh air breaks. I love to be able to take dogs out for potty breaks at least 5 times a day. I try to aim for 7 if possible before bedtime.

“Mykala was amazing! Our pets were not great for her - the cats created havoc while she was at work, knocking things over and breaking things as cats sometimes do. She handled the situation in a very professional manner. She was very responsive and we always felt that our pets were in great hands. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have experience taking care of several different types of animals; including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. My own pets are all rescues; they have taught me the best ways to care for animals who can be timid, fearful, aggressive, or wanting constant attention. My miniature pinscher has diet restrictions as well, and when I first adopted him I had to administer medications. Whatever your pets needs, I am happy to make sure they are completely taken care of. I'll always make sure to update you with photos, so you can feel comfortable that your pet is getting the play time and cuddles that they deserve! I am super excited to spend my days with your fur babies! I am currently working a very flexible part time job. The rest of my life is spent with my own animals, but I always find myself with extra time; I'd love to devote that to giving your pet all of the love, attention, and comfort that they deserve while they're apart from you. I have 4 pets of my own, two dogs and two cats. They're all used to being around other animals, and are super excited to make new friends! I am not currently able to offer stays in my home, but if you would like for either of my dogs to come spend time with yours, just feel free to let me know and we can have a meet-and-greet! For Drop-Ins: While I’m at your home, I will take care of the basics such as food & water, outside potty-time, cleaning the litter box, giving your pets love and attention, and playing any of their favorite games with them! On top of that, I can administer medications or supplements they may need, keep an eye on any health concerns, take them on short walks, work with them on any training you’ve been doing, or anything else they may need. I also offer Bath & Brush, Nail Clippings, or 30 minute walks for a small extra charge. 😊 For Walks: I have experience with all sizes of dogs, as well as cats. If you are currently working on any training, commands, positive reinforcement with treats, etc. I will make sure to use those while on the walk to give you and your fur baby the best experience! I have trained all of my animals myself, so I understand the importance of consistency if you are working on training. I can walk them around in all their favorite places, giving them the chance to enjoy the smells and fresh air. If there is a dog park nearby that they enjoy, we can go there as well! Just let me know where they enjoy the most!

About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. I do have a part time job, but with enough notice I am happy to arrange my shifts to suit your animal’s needs. I typically work evenings. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

About: I'm 27 years old and I've had a dog in my family my whole life. I have my own transportation when it's needed. I'm reliable and very responsible! I hope you consider letting me take care of your pet! I would love to spend time with him or her any day of the week! Thank you! I am available M-F, any time of day! I can do weekends, if that’s what you need! I can try to fit you in any time! I have 1 Dog at home! He loves yard time and treats! our 1 year old, Sarge, loves others dogs and would love to meet your pups!

About: I have always loved taking care of animals of every kind and I have been doing it for forever. If you let me take care of your pet, they will be loved and cherished and you will have a trustworthy and respectful person in your home. I am currently a college student so I am hoping to work with your pets on my breaks at home. On breaks or weekends I will be over to see your pet regularly and I will make sure each pet is well taken care of. That means working them into my daily routine. At your home, I am putting your pet and your house first. I will clean, take care of and watch anything you need me to while you give me permission to be at your home with your pet. No matter what I will make sure your house is taken care of and your pet is comfortable around me.

About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more! I’m currently working part time. I am also a single mom. I’m available on Mondays during school hours, during the week in the afternoon/evening as well as the weekends. I will provide safe environment for your dog! There is also a dog park nearby. So you can count on daily walks or runs! Any selfies we take will be sent to you! :D

About: I have been taking care of my own pets since elementary school! I would love to care for your pets as my own! Extra love for doodles :) I am currently home for the summer in between years at Hope College. I will be working during the day, however, I can be available to care for pets in the early morning and afternoons/nights. If your pet is able to go upwards of 8 hours without being let out, I’m the perfect overnight sitter for you! I can follow whichever guidelines my client would like. Your fur babies will be very safe and loved while in my care! Wether it is a fenced in yard or walks on a leash, I can guarantee that they will be safe with me :)

About: I have always had a passion for animals. I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a child. It's always been a love of mine and I want to be able to share my love with other animals as well. You can rest assure your beloved animal will be cared for when you leave them with me. I currently work a full time job. I would be able to care for your pet in the afternoons and weekends currently. I am hoping to be able to open up my schedule more in the future. I can use a leash/harness that you have available to walk your animal or let them outside if needed. I will pay close attention to them and assess whatever they may need.
