“We suddenly needed a boarder for our 8 month old puppy and were a little anxious about it. Upon meeting Derik, he put our mind at ease immediately. He has a nice fenced in yard where dogs can run and play. Every picture he sent us showed a very happy active puppy. We will definitely be using Derik again!”
“Terry and Chucky are absolutely amazing! Molly and Tanner are always so excited when they realize they’re going over, tails wagging non-stop! I can tell they’re not only well taken care of, but truly loved while they’re there. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing in a calm environment, they come home happy and relaxed every time. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

About: **Compassionate Vet Tech Providing Trusted Care for Animals of Every Kind** If it has paws, hooves, feathers, scales, or fins, I'd love to care for it.

My goal isn't just to meet their basic needs, it's to build trust, keep their routine as normal as possible, and give them plenty of affection, enrichment, and individualized attention. I'm experienced caring for many different types of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, small mammals, and other companion animals. I'm comfortable administering many medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, following detailed care instructions, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life and love them! I have helped with many puppy litters, even bottle feeding puppies when the mother was unable. I’ve cared for small dogs, medium, and large. I even care for the occasional horse or cat if needed. I am currently a server, so my schedule fluctuates often, but can help when I am available! I tend to be the most open in morning or mid day, but am occasionally open on the weekends too. I give treats, LOTS of pets, brushing, and whatever else is needed! I love spending time with animals and want to give them all the care that they need. Communication is key with me so the more we can talk about what is needed and when I am available is very important
About: I grew up with lots of pets from horses and chickens to dogs and cats, we always had someone to keep company. I took much of this responsibility as it’s fun to spend time with the animals! I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel called Anderson Creek Kennel in Ludington, Mi for 4 years and loved every second I got to spend with the fur babies. I’m currently working part time during the week with 6 hour shifts as my longest. I’m free most weekends and would love to provide animal care in the mornings, evenings, or weekends I have a large vehicle that can hold animals of a variety of sizes to get them to parks or wherever they need to go!

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has made caring for them second nature to me. I have two dogs of my own, all of whom I've helped trained. They each have unique needs, including daily medication and diet preferences, so I'm very familiar with managing a variety of routines and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'm especially patient with dogs who are still in training or adjusting to new environments. I've also volunteered at several local animal shelters, where I spent time walking and working with dogs who required extra care, structure, and patience, many of whom were strong pullers or had behavioral challenges. These experiences have taught me how to stay calm and confident in any situation, and I always prioritize a dog's safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra cuddles, or a specific care routine while you're away, I'll make sure they're cared for as if they were my own. I'm a college student, and I work as a Nurse Technician at a hospital two days a week. Despite my busy schedule, I'm highly flexible and have availability throughout the week and some weekends. Pet care is something I enjoy, so I'm happy to make the time to be there for your pets. When caring for your pet in your home, I will stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding them at specific times, taking them for walks, or ensuring they get plenty of playtime. I'll provide lots of attention and affection to keep them feeling secure while you’re away. If your pet needs any special care, like administering medication or following specific instructions, I’m more than happy to accommodate. I understand the needs of pets that require extra attention, as I have dogs of my own who need special care. I'll keep a close eye on your pet's behavior, and I’ll always reach out if anything unusual comes up. I’m also happy to send pictures to keep you updated and help you feel more at ease!
About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!
About: I am a senior at GVSU looking for a few shifts once in a while. Because of my work schedule, I am available after 5pm on Fridays and anytime on Saturday and Sundays! Due to my school/work schedule, I will be available Monday-Thursdays anytime after 7pm! Open to weekends as well, I’m very flexible with those times and will try my best to meet your needs! I have experience in dog walking and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. I prefer to know where food, leashes, etc are located as well as your pets feeding schedule prior to my first visit.
About: I’ve had a family dog for a little over four years now. I’ve dog sat many times and love being around them!! I also make sure to keep the pet owners updated and accommodate special requests they have! I’m currently a student in college but have a car and free time/nights to come and hang out with your pets! My classes are scattered so I have time in between to utilize. I’m flexible and willing to work things out if needed. When it come to caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well being. Exercise and playtime is so important and I make sure that the surrounding areas are secure and safe. I make sure to clean up any messes made too.
About: I have been taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors for around 6 years, since I was 14. I love all animals of all ages and sizes! I go to school full time and work, so I have more availability on weekends if your pet needs to be let out often. If your pet can go around 5 hours by themselves, I am available any day of the week. I have stayed at many houses overnight, or just gone a few times a day to check on pets. I am willing to do either of those things! I will make sure to provide a safe space for your pet while their family is away for a bit!
About: I’ve taken care of Pets and had pets since I was 10 years old. I’m very energetic and reliable and I love walking and playing with my own pets. I am currently working only part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of attention and exercise. I have one dog that is super friendly that can be in the crate or on our bottom level. We have one outdoor cat that pretty much stays in our barn. Our kids are very good with pets and I love them. We all have experience with overnight boarding of puppies and adult dogs.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have had experience with personal animals as well as house and dog sitting for others. I have working in healthcare for a few years. I also have over 12 years of experience with horses! I am currently working part time, available for afternoons, nights and weekends. Also flexible when you need a sitter the most. Also during holidays. :) I plan to take care of your beloved animals, keeping them to their normal routine as much as possible. I plan to keep their environment clean. I hope to take them on walks, and their favorite activities!

“We suddenly needed a boarder for our 8 month old puppy and were a little anxious about it. Upon meeting Derik, he put our mind at ease immediately. He has a nice fenced in yard where dogs can run and play. Every picture he sent us showed a very happy active puppy. We will definitely be using Derik again!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“Felix took amazing care of our dog, Zara. She still has a lot of puppy energy. She is a rescue and we have only had her two months so she is still working on her manners. Felix wasn’t fazed by this and was patient with her. He often also has other dogs staying with him and Zara loved getting to play in their beautiful yard. Zara felt right at home and we would recommend Felix to anyone!”
“We are so happy we found Beth! We had a couple schedule changes and she was more than accommodating. We will be very happy to use her to watch our doggies whenever shes available!”
“Breslin had a wonderful time with Christina and Micheal! They provided consistent updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of our little guy having fun. They treated Breslin like one of their own and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks again!”
“Samuel did a fantastic job taking care of our dachshund! We got videos and photos of his dog playing with ours and it was clear they loved hanging out together! Samuel paid attention to all of the details and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“We have a very needy, high energy dog, and Dan gave her every bit of love that she needed while we were away! 10/10 communication and regular photos! Thanks again, Dan! A true dog lover.”
“We have dogs with some specific needs / requests and Maddie was able to accommodate those and take great care of our girls. She seemed very qualified and in tune with their behavior. Our dogs are prone to UTI’s and she noticed an issue during the stay, and was very communicative and helpful in getting our dog the care she needed. Would recommend Maddie :)”
“We left our to Bernedoodles with Frances for two nights recently. She updated us daily on their activities and sent us pictures. I could not recommend Frances more highly. We will definitely use her again if we are ever in the Holland area again thank you Francis for a great experience! Love, Missy and Macie”
“Leia loved staying with Pamela! Pamela was excellent at communication before the stay and during, sending daily pictures and updates. She had a warm and inviting home and you could feel her love and care for dogs. She even sent Leia home with some homemade dog treats! We will definitely book her for future stays!”
“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”

On the 4 days I work dogs will have a potty break after 6-7 hrs. Generally off on Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard with a fur baby of my own to keep yours company amd 2 teenagers who love to help out and spoil your four legged bestie even more. I require you bring a crate but I can provide one for a small fee. We love the outdoors in the summer, so lots of exercise for your fur baby At this time I can only care for hypoallergenic breeds in my home. I can walk and do drop ins with any breed. Feel free to inquire if you are unsure.
