About: I grew up with several large and small dogs in my household, and I also began watching dogs about 8 years ago. I began overnight sitting around 4 years ago as well. I have also been cat sitting for about 3 years, and have a cat of my own! I am comfortable administering prescriptions to all pets, as well as regular care (potty breaks, clean ups, brushing, interaction, litter boxes, walking, etc). I have worked with pets of all size variations, and am happy to work with yours! I am a full-time bedside RN on night shift, so I work 3 nights a week for 12-hour shifts. My schedule changes weekly, but I would never accept a job that I am not available for. I have great flexibility due to only working 3 nights a week, as I often switch back to days after a stretch, or can stay on nights if preferred. I am happy to watch your pet overnight at your home. I am comfortable with most services, including but not limited to: walking, going outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering prescription medications, brushing pets, feeding pets, and more. If something is needed for your pet that is not listed here, I am willing to talk about it and see if it is in my scope!

“Emma was very attentive and caring to our cats. She sent pictures during each drop-in, so we could see both cats doing well. Knowing Emma was visiting and tending to our cats gave us great peace of mind while we were out of town.”

About: I used to work at a vet clinic, so I am good with emergencies and handling special instructions. I am professional, organized, communicative and trustworthy. I work from home 99% of the time, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’ll hang out with your pets as long as needed. What you say goes and you know what is best for your pet, so tell me what you need and I’ll happily make it happen.

About: My affection for animals dates back to my childhood, where a loyal German shepherd was my constant companion. Moreover, my commitment extends beyond personal connections. Over the last year, I have dedicated time to walk and socialize shelter dogs at the Cherryland Humane Society. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of canine behavior but also allowed me to contribute to the well-being of dogs in need. The bonds formed during these interactions have left a lasting impact, reinforcing my passion for the welfare of our four-legged friends. I also currently take care of my roommates cat frequently to provide tender care to our furry friend. I currently work another job, therefore I am available on Monday- Thursday from 8am-9am & 6:30pm-9pm & Saturday & Sunday all day. Starting in June I will be available after 5pm on the weekdays as well! I take note to accommodate your pets individual needs by following detailed instructions and preferences to provide the highest level of quality care for your beloved pet.

“Mairi did an amazing job taking care of my two pups. She provided tons of updates with photos that I really appreciated. She is very quick to respond and very reliable! I’m rebooking her and highly recommend her services.”

About: I retired from teaching in 2023 and moved to TC in June 2024. While living in Grand Rapids, I had 12 families that consistently hired me for overnight stays for their cats and dogs, anywhere from one night to up to two weeks. I love my new home, but am missing my dog snuggles as I'm not allowed to have pets at my condo :-( I would love a chance to snuggle your fur babies, take them on walks, and play with them. I work in the wine industry so my work day starts around 1pm and ends at 9pm during the week a, with Sundays Mondays off. With that schedule I'm able to stay with your pups at your place, take them for for morning walks, and also walks in the evening when I return. Of course there will be lots of loving in the evenings to make up for my time away. I have also worked with pups that have special needs (dietary, physical limitations, and more) I'm also able to do drop-in service and/or walks before or after work if you don't need a house sitter. I'd love to meet your pup/cat prior to my first time staying with them so that we can have a proper introduction and I can ask questions to ensure they have the best care while you're away. Since the passing of my pup Ruby in 2021, I have found pet sitting as a great way to help others while also giving me a chance to love on others' pets. If your pups (and cats) are needing someone to play with, go on walks, or just snuggle with, I'm your person! I work in the wine industry so my work day starts around 12:30pm and ends around 9:00pm with Sundays and Mondays off. With that schedule I'm able to stay with your pups at your place, take them for for morning walks, and also walks in the evening. Of course there will be lots of loving in the evenings to make up for my time away. I have also worked with pups that have special needs (dietary, physical limitations, and more) I know that pets are a part of the family and I want to make sure you don't have to worry while you're away! I'd love to meet you and your pup/cat prior to my first time staying with them so that we can have a proper introduction. I can ask questions to ensure they have the best care while you're away. I want to make the stay as seamless as possible to provide for the comfort of your pets and help you rest easy while you're away.

“We appreciate her checking in our puppy while away she truly is amazing! Our puppy loved her would definitely recommend (:”

About: I have pet sit for my family and friends for many years! I would love to care for all animals and your best friends :) I work full time as a nurse but only work 3x a week. willing to work around my schedule to take care of your besties:) My home is very clean and lack of clutter. I have carpet but its easy to clean:) I am excited to take care your friends.

About: I've had my dog business for 5+ years and I devote my time to special dogs during the day or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other dogs who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

About: I have been working with dogs for over 15 years and am dedicated to taking care of your pet’s every need! Special requests are not only accepted but encouraged! I work from 7am to 4pm Monday through Friday with a half hour lunch break. Before and after work I am happy to take your dog on a long walk, and during lunch I am available to take them on a short walk. I treat every pet in my care as my own, it is important to me that they get the best experience possible and leave with a smile on their face! I am happy to cater to any specific needs or requests from you.

About: I love animals! I took care of my own pets & those of friends and family before I began to professionally dog-sit in 2008. I do occasional cat care as well, which I began in 2007. I live with my partner, Michael & our dog, Kyro, at the top of Old Mission Peninsula. I work part-time to full-time in any given week, so I have a ton of variety with my schedule. This gives me the time to stop in & check on your doggies, care for them, play, sometimes go to the dogpark or other destination :) I provide pet care in the client's home via drop-ins. I also provide boarding for dogs and cats, and occasionally house-sit. I have oral med experience for both cats and dogs, though I have not given any medications intravenously yet. However, I'm open to being trained on how you administer the intravenous meds needed for your pet's proper medical care.

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, but currently my living situation doesn't accommodate one. For this reason, I'm eager to hang out with cool dogs. Friends, family and coworkers have taken advantage of this and have trusted me to take care of their animals (dogs, cats, goats, etc.) since my early teens. I have a natural affinity for animals, so I would love to take care of and hang out with your cool dog. I work Monday through Friday in the morning, but after 1pm I'm free to spend all afternoon with your dogs. Weekends are also for the dogs. I can not currently board any pets, but I will travel to them and care for their needs in the safety and comfort of their own home. I love playing with dogs and will ensure a happy, safe, and active environment for them. Under the owner's permission, I enjoy taking dogs out to their favorite places, like beaches and dog parks.

“Carolyn did a wonderful job watching our dog and 2 cats. She is a great communicator and made sure she understood everything to ensure our pets received the best care. We have a 10-year-old lab with vision issues, Carolyn was able to provide the needed extra care and administer eye drops. One of our cats is a rescue and typically hides, when Carolyn stopped by to go over everything our cat didn't run and even let her give some scratches, when our cat is so at ease it is a very good sign! We plan to have Carolyn back again!”

“Emily was great with my cats! They are usually super shy and she got them to at least say hi while I was gone and she was doing her drop in visit. I would use her any time.”

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible, morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend works great for me! I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they cannot be home!

“Amanda was amazing with taking care of my cat. I would highly recommend her!”
