Pet Sitting Swan

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.

“Kate was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our cats for more than two days. They can be a little spicy when meeting new people, but they’ve liked Kate right from the start. My mind was at ease because I know they were in good hands. Kate provided us with a daily report and pictures. We will absolutely have her watch our girls again and again! :)”

“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!”

“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

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.

“Sydney you did amazing!!! Thank you so much. That was a huge help this weekend!!! Nemo told me all about your walks! Thanks again!”

“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”

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.

“Isabel was awesome with my 2 little pomeranians. They are handful and took such good care of them. The pictures and little report cards she would send made my day! Definitely would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur babies. Thanks Isabel!”

“Brenna was AMAZING! She was very responsive, and followed every instruction despite my limited communication while being out of town. I will definitely book with her again!”
