Pet Sitting Swan

About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.

“Alexandria checked in on our two golden retrievers and was great! She was communicative, on time, and took good care of our pups! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”

“Kate was absolutely wonderful! This was my first experience using Rover. My shy-to-new people kitty took to her almost immediately during the meet and greet and she made sure to give him the attention he craved during their visits. The pictures and report were also so appreciated. Would definitely recommend her!”

“This was my first time using a service like this but Molly made the process very easy and did great looking after my 2 cats. I would highly recommend her and definitely book with her again!!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and began taking care of them at a young age. I understand that leaving your pets with someone is a big deal, so I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and special instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friends! I’m working full time, my weekdays start early at 6am but also end early in the afternoon. I am available early mornings and anytime in the afternoon. My weekends are completely free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, make sure pets have fresh food and water, keep their environment clean, and give them the appropriate amount of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure so pets stay safe.

“They were amazing, beyond kind, and very responsive! They sent lots of pictures and kept up on all tasks asked! I would trust them again and again. Will be booking again for our next trip :) Thanks!”

“Hannah is super nice and is great with animals. She communicated very well while watching our cat and got some great photos to share! We had a meet and greet ahead of time and felt very comfortable having her come to our home to care for our cat.”

Carrie H.

“Had to do last minute planning and she came through! Thank you so much. You were great ❤️”

Kerstie F.

“Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!”

“Holly was awesome with Luna and helped me out on short notice! She was reliable and provided me with great updates so I knew my fur baby was doing OK while I was away.”

About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

About: I have taken care of and been around pets my whole life. I grew up with a dog for a short time and two cats. Those cats are now 16 and 17 so I have learned to adapt to their dietary needs as well as administer different medications they may need. I also adopted a senior kitty about a year ago who also has belly and GI issues so I have learned to take care of that. I have pet sat for many friends and family members. I enjoy taking dogs on walks to playing with cats! I currently work part time at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital! I work 2-4 days a week depending so my schedule is varied. I am more than willing to switch around my schedule to help watch some furry friends ! With my own cat personally, I take time each day to entertain her and play with her weather that means we go for a little walk or brush her. I am very cautious about the types of plants, clearers, and objects I have around that may be harmful to pets.

“I am so glad we found Lauren! She has been such a blessing to our dogs. We are always looking forward to her report cards of how they did and appreciate her clear communication. It’s very apparent she treats her clients like they were her own!”

Ashlyn K.

“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”

Hannah L.

“Genevieve was very prompt in her response and had great communication! My dogs were taken care of and I had no messes to clean up when I came home, which is always a plus! Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

About: I used Rover and loved it! Now, I am opening my home, yard (and next door park), to other dogparents. How can we care for your pup(s)? I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule based around events and site visits. Your pups will have supervision, fun, and lots of snuggles if they’d like. I am a German Shepherd mom. I have watched my family member’s pets before and have a crate from when my girl was a pup. My son loves animals and helps care for them all. This was his idea (and he affectionately calls this endeavor “Brayden’s Amazing Dog Boarding”. We treat pups like family but our two story, fenced in home has plenty of space for us to give visitors whatever kind of engagement or isolation they prefer.

“Kaitlin did a fantastic job watching my two cats while I was on vacation! She paid close attention to details, asked great questions, and provided daily updates with photos. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which was great to see. I would definitely have Kaitlin watch them again.”

James D.

“Kelsey rules! She is always on time and a great communicator. Our German Shepherd loves her and she makes the most out of her stop in visits with plenty of play and potty breaks. Will continue to book as her and Forrest are available!”

About: In my 16 years of watching dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of being the exclusive dogsitter for 8+ families across northeast Indiana, Indianapolis and Grand Rapids. I’ve worked with families of multiple dogs, experienced hands-on training from certified dog trainers, and families with more than dogs. All-in-all, I’ve come to know and experience many routines for many breeds and have provided excellent care for all of them. I'm newly self-employed after 3 years of working remotely! Looking to both apply my whole self to this marketing agency founder life while being able to pay my bills. I can work remotely from anywhere with wifi, a spot to sit, perhaps a good cup of coffee, and any fur babes by my side. And like pets, I need my exercise, too. With 16 years of experience, I've definitely encountered many furry faces with many unique features. And I can handle the cats with claws and the big dogs with lots of bark and no bite. It's been observed by my closest friends, family, and perfect strangers that I bring a calming aura to their personal spaces. I'd care for your pets, and your home, as I care for my own: sticking to routines, prioritizing their health and safety, getting them active, all while maintaining a clean home.
