“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”
“Hachi was super excited to be back again! He’s already comfortable and being happily greeted by Lexi was wonderful. Pamela will love and care for your Fur baby. Hachi was happy to be back because he has so much fun there. Pamela captures your fur baby’s fun time and share those cute pictures with you. We will be back all the time now, since we found such a happy and loving place to board him when needed. Thank you Pamela!”
“Michael and his family provided excellent care for our dogs. We have a dog who is almost 17 years old and he was very attentive to his needs. Our younger dog made great friends with his dog, Chili. She had a great time. Michael provided excellent photos and daily communication. I highly recommend him.”
“Theresa was wonderful and took great care of our pup! We even had some delays traveling, and Theresa was very flexible and communicative. Highly recommend and will definitely board with her again!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was the best dog sitter ever!! She sent us a bunch of pictures and wrote sweet updates on what Ellie was up to for my son to read. She was so thoughtful, took Ellie on a ton of walks and loved her like she was her own dog. I highly recommended Diana and will use her again!”
“Alisa was really great! She took very good care of my cat while we were away, and everything went smoothly. She kept us updated at all times, which we very appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Derek was great. Would definitely use his services again. If you’re feeling uneasy about having your dog cared for by someone else, I understand the feeling. But my dog had a great week at Derek’s house. I picked him back up in good health, with a full belly, and all of his energy spent.”
About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
“This is a FIVE (5) STAR rating for Amber. She provided care for our canine daughter, SamBella, while we went on a short vacation. Amber's home is neat, clean and orderly. She pampered SamBella and provided updates while we were away. SamBella was in great shape and happy when we picked her up. We plan on using Amber again. WAY TO GO AMBER!!”
“Sylvia is such a blessing. She was extremely communicative and caring for our dog! She took him on last minute over the holiday and we couldn’t be happier with finding her! Thank you so much Sylvia, we appreciate you so much and look forward to booking with you again next time.”
“Christopher did an incredible job caring for Hachi. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was so reassuring to see Hachi happy, bonding with Jasi and the rest of his family. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to others looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Daina and Samuel took wonderful care of our dog Denali for our two week vacation. We received a lot of pictures and could tell she was well taken care of and having a good time. I will definitely use them again.”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Sent me so many check in photos, my dogs looked like they were having a blast. They didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up 😅. Highly recommend her.”
“Terry and Chuckie did a fantastic job of taking care of our fur baby Sophie. Communicated very well and sent pics every day. You can tell they truly love dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”

“I will always choose Emily to watch my pet when I am out of town! She does a great job communicating throughout the process and sends me the best pictures. My cat loves her!”
“Sam did an excellent job feeding and interacting with my cat. My cat is very shy, but Sam was able to coax her out from her hiding place and play and brush her. I'll definitely contact Sam when I go out of town again.”
“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”
“Heather is awesome! She came for a meet and greet before we booked which I appreciated. Heather is a great communicator. Ike was content when I returned home, and Heather sent photos while I was away. The house was immaculate. I highly recommend Heather. She is attentive, dependable, trustworthy and professional.”
About: Hi, my name is Zuri! I’ve been around animals all my life! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, lizards, geckos, fish, goats, chickens, and so much more! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, and age! I’ve dog-sat and cared for animals for friends and family for years. Communication is very important to me so I like to keep in touch with all my clients. I am currently available all day Saturday and Sunday and 5 pm- 12 am Monday to Friday! I am available to do overnight stays during the weekend and require only 24 hours' notice for drop-in visits. I have a large backyard and 2-3 other dogs who can keep your pup company! As well as 2 barn cats and chickens! I have a large outdoor crate and a smaller indoor crate if your pup becomes overwhelmed and needs a break. I typically walk my dog 2 miles in the morning, and then play fetch and tug-of-war for an hour after we train for 30 minutes, I do this 3-6 times a day depending on my schedule for the day!
About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY CAT BACKGROUND: I'm currently taking care of and slowly bonding with a feral calico cat my family rescued from a car hood, and it's already taught me so much about patience and trust with cats that need a lot more than your typical attention. I have been taking care of her for a few months now and can't wait to continue to grow with her. Before this, I housesat for family friends for over a week, during which I cared for their 3 cats and 1 dog, feeding twice a day and making sure they got plenty of playtime throughout the day. This also included me caring for their house and plants, doing general upkeep throughout the week. I also have experience caring for a sweet but playful grey tabby in my home in Indiana. While shared with 5 adults, holiday breaks were spent just me and the cat, which is honestly where my favorite memories of us come from! I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. You can see pictures of my grey tabby in his cone after he got fixed (and unfortunately had to be on antibiotics) on my page!
“Brenna was amazing with our cat. She went above and beyond taking care of him and our house. My cat loved her and my mind was at ease while away knowing he was getting love and care. She gave very detailed updates as well as lots of pictures and always responded quickly. I highly recommend Brenna and will book her again in the future! Thank you!!”
“Charity did an awesome job watching Sophie! She was always on time and provided us with detailed updates. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her. Charity made us feel very confident Sophie was in good hands while we were out of town!”
“Emily is able to check in on my pet on both Christmas eve and the day of Christmas, and was very flexible on time. She takes instructions very responsibly and was great with my skittish cat.”

“Mike took great care of my girl for the day! She was able to run around & play with new friends and then rest in the home without needing a crate. I can tell he treats all of his clients like family.”
“We cannot state our appreciation for Beth further— she helped us out in a complete bind. We’re not from the area and travel with our dogs often so thought nothing of it when we had a wedding to attend in Holland but one dog decided she didn’t want to be quiet in our accommodations and we were told to figure it out or be evicted from the hotel (understandable). We put the call out to a few dog sitters over Rover and Beth responded quickly with compassion and responsiveness. We were able to drop our dogs with her after a very easy-going meeting to make sure all parties were comfortable and safe. It was easy to see Beth cared and had a great operation. We were able to attend the wedding and reception afterwards with peace of mind. We just scooped up our pups and they’re completely, happily pooped. I would recommend Beth to anyone who is looking for someone with a giant heart and generous soul to take care of their pups. Thanks again, Beth!!!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of Riley and Henry. She agreed to watch my dogs on short notice and was very accommodating when I needed to extend their visit. Riley and Henry had a great time playing with her dogs too. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have owned dogs for over 15 years. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up around large German Shepherds, a Doberman and too many cats to count. Today I have much smaller dogs. Mr. Miygai is around 19lbs and looks like a terrier mix but is part Chi and part Mini Poodle. Zoe is all stumpy tail Cattle dog mix and about 30lbs. Both love other dogs and get along great with them. Mr does prefer smaller dogs. Over the years I have owned 2 Dachshunds and a Sheltie Mix who was deaf.

We have a large yard, not fenced but we take a lot of walks and have stakes in the backyard for the dogs to play outside.
“Samantha has completely exceeded our expectations and has been so wonderful to our puppy! She watched Felix every day for us this week and has been beyond helpful/flexible and amazing with our work schedules. She keeps me well informed and updated throughout the day and sends the CUTEST photos. So cute I’m going to have to get some of them framed. I know he’s been walked and has had sufficient play time just by how tired he is when coming home. With him being a puppy, he chews and gets into things he isn’t supposed to. I can tell from Samantha’s updates that she is patient and works with him on behavioral issues. We feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and are excited to take Felix back next week!”

“Mike was a terrific walker for my brother’s headstrong 8.5yo Kate while brother was recovering from knee surgery. He bonded well with the dog, handled and disciplined her appropriately and was easy for us to work with. Highly recommended!”
About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.
About: As much as we want to bring our pets everywhere with us sometimes, we can’t. But that shouldn’t mean your pet isn’t living their best life possible. I can check in on your pet for some company, pets and play time, treats, meals, water, and a walk. I can also do anything else they may need. My goal is to give your pet a better day and give you a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. I grew up on a farm with all animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and horses. I was in a dog club growing up and learned basic dog training skills. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs needing special assistance and medications. I’ve helped care for multiple animals and hope to have the opportunity to care for yours too. I’m working part time in (human) healthcare. As much as I love people, I want to spend more time with animals on my days off. I work every Monday and Wednesday and am busy Saturday most of the time. My schedule changes once in a while but this is the general availability. I am mostly available morning and afternoon until about 3pm. Please ask for any specific times though anytime and I’ll see if it ends up working out. Thanks! 😊 My goal is to make sure your dog is as well cared for as if you were there yourself. I can do what you request. I can feed, water, potty break, medication administration, play time and pets, or go for a walk. I can leave them out or crate when I leave.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I absolutely love teaching them tricks, playtime and daily exercise. Quality care to keep happy pets! I have ton of free time to check up and play with your furry companions! I pick up what I can when I’m not working! :) I work hard to make sure your pets comfort and care comes first. Prioritizing their safety while having fun! And always treating pets like family!
About: Hi! I’m Natalie, a pre-veterinary student at Hope College with a passion for providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your pets. I have experience working in multiple veterinary offices and have spent years pet sitting dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My background has given me experience understanding animal behavior, recognizing individual needs, and providing attentive care for every pet I work with. I am comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, large and small breeds, and pets with specific routines or medical needs. I also have experience administering medications and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I love sending updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!! I currently have a full time serving job and am a student so this is something that I do on the side! I am still pretty available and can cater to the needs of my clients. Since I do live with roommates I prefer to go to my clients houses instead of bringing them to my house! I can accommodate pretty easily though if needed.

This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but just need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY PET BACKGROUND: I have experience housesitting with dogs/cats for up to a week. In this time, I maintained the house, watered plants, fed both cats and dogs, took care of trash and mail, etc. My family has had up to 8 dogs at once, ranging from puppy to senior. Now, we currently have 3 dogs and even a pet rabbit. I found a passion for training pets/encouraging good behavior, which led me to teach my pup tricks like roll over, bang bang, dance, etc., and we both loved every minute! We also took in a stray feral cat (was stuck in a car hood, long story), and for the past few months I have successfully worked hard to make a connection and bond with her! I do also help care for the cat in my home in Indiana. I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, with my shift typically starting at 3pm. My schedule does tend to shift around, but on days I do work, I am flexible with when I can watch your loved one and am willing to visit as much as possible before and after work. However, when I'm not working, I am more than happy to spend as much time with your pet as possible/wanted. While in your home, I will be around your pet 24/7, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I love playing with pets but can also enforce rules and regulations set up for your pet with ease. I can handle crating, leashing, feeding, picking up messes, and more. If housesitting, I am happy to assist in pickup and general house upkeep, including trash night, collecting mail, dusting, etc.
About: I’ve worked in a dog boarding facility and in the daycare as well as being a dog bather, giving me firsthand experience with different breeds, behaviors, and special needs. I’m confident, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing safe, loving care for every dog. I have open availability and am happy to accommodate your schedule to care for your pets whenever they need me! Anyway I can be of help is my pleasure. I provide trusted attentive care in clients’ homes, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of love and companionship.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! Not only my own dogs, but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I love animals and they love me. I am flexible and can adapt to serve your pets needs. I have great attention to detail and care for pets in a timely manner, feeding and walking consistently according to their normal schedule to avoid disrupting their routine. I know how tough it is to leave your pets, but I will give them love and care and send as many pictures as you’d like throughout their time with me. I am a grad student and I would be happy to add caring for your pet into my day or week. I have time to let your pet out about every 4 hours. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special requests. I groomed my golden doodle and gave him all his haircuts for several years. I’d be happy to groom your dog too! I will do my best to adjust to feed and walk or play with your dog at the time they are used to do their routine isn’t disturbed.
About: I've cared for all breeds and sizes of cats, dogs and various other creatures in my life since I was a child. I am trauma informed, science backed, and consent based in everything I do. I am force free/fear free. I don’t use any aversives with any animal. I follow the most up to date animal science and firmly believe that through positive reinforcement and giving animals agency to opt in or out of most situations is the best way to be in relationship with them. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2019, and am very passionate about animal care and am excited to get to know you and your fur babes! My first love was a husky mix named Dutchess. I was a rough and tumble three-year-old and she looked like a furry loaf of bread with rolled up newspapers for legs, who never let me out of her sight until the day she crossed over the rainbow bridge. And thus began my love affair with pretty much all animals. Each pet has their own unique personality and style. I adapt to your pet's needs and wants. If they want cuddles, if they want space, if they want to run around in the back yard and play catch or tug-o-war then that is what we are going to do! My aim is to make them and you, happy with the stellar care they are being given. Animals have always been an integral part of my life, and I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to love and care for them and provide for my own family as well. <3 Animal care and companionship is my life. I work with animals multiple times a day everyday of the week to ensure they get all the enrichment, exercise, attention, and love they want and need. Trusting me with your home and pets is a big deal. Rest assured I will communicate regularly with pictures, videos and text updates throughout our stay together so you can feel at ease with the care of your fur babies.
About: I have loved animals and been around them my whole life. I had a dog growing up, and have always wanted to take care of any animals that I could. Now, I live with 2 cats thats I originally fostered from about 13 weeks. Even though I only have cats of my own, I’m very much a dog person as well. Im super active and would love to take dogs for walks, burn some energy outdoors, or just spend some time socializing with pets. I have years of experience handling cats and dogs in both a shelter/intense environment and a home. I currently work a very flexible part time nanny gig. This leaves my weeks very open for pet care as well as full availability on weekends. This varies, but I always make sure to communicate effectively to know the animals needs and make sure they are met. Safety is my number one concern always. If you ever have a question or concern, you may always message me.

“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”
“Hachi was super excited to be back again! He’s already comfortable and being happily greeted by Lexi was wonderful. Pamela will love and care for your Fur baby. Hachi was happy to be back because he has so much fun there. Pamela captures your fur baby’s fun time and share those cute pictures with you. We will be back all the time now, since we found such a happy and loving place to board him when needed. Thank you Pamela!”
“Michael and his family provided excellent care for our dogs. We have a dog who is almost 17 years old and he was very attentive to his needs. Our younger dog made great friends with his dog, Chili. She had a great time. Michael provided excellent photos and daily communication. I highly recommend him.”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was the best dog sitter ever!! She sent us a bunch of pictures and wrote sweet updates on what Ellie was up to for my son to read. She was so thoughtful, took Ellie on a ton of walks and loved her like she was her own dog. I highly recommended Diana and will use her again!”
“Alisa was really great! She took very good care of my cat while we were away, and everything went smoothly. She kept us updated at all times, which we very appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Derek was great. Would definitely use his services again. If you’re feeling uneasy about having your dog cared for by someone else, I understand the feeling. But my dog had a great week at Derek’s house. I picked him back up in good health, with a full belly, and all of his energy spent.”
About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
“This is a FIVE (5) STAR rating for Amber. She provided care for our canine daughter, SamBella, while we went on a short vacation. Amber's home is neat, clean and orderly. She pampered SamBella and provided updates while we were away. SamBella was in great shape and happy when we picked her up. We plan on using Amber again. WAY TO GO AMBER!!”
“Sylvia is such a blessing. She was extremely communicative and caring for our dog! She took him on last minute over the holiday and we couldn’t be happier with finding her! Thank you so much Sylvia, we appreciate you so much and look forward to booking with you again next time.”
“Christopher did an incredible job caring for Hachi. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was so reassuring to see Hachi happy, bonding with Jasi and the rest of his family. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to others looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Daina and Samuel took wonderful care of our dog Denali for our two week vacation. We received a lot of pictures and could tell she was well taken care of and having a good time. I will definitely use them again.”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Sent me so many check in photos, my dogs looked like they were having a blast. They didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up 😅. Highly recommend her.”
“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”
About: I have taken care of animas my whole life. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats. Comfortable giving medications if they are needed. I am home all day Thursday through Sunday. The days that I do work, there is still time set aside for each pet after I arrive home. During the warmer weather, we typically spend lots of time outside. I have a fenced in yard. I do own 3 medium-large sized dogs that are great with other dogs. I do also have a cat and a toddler. I make sure that the toddler is never left alone with the animals. If I am doing drop by visits for pets, your home will be treated with respect and your pet will be taken care of appropriately.
“Our three Frenchies loved staying with Clara! I was nervous about leaving them for 11 days because this was new for them. They did great!!! Clara made sure they were happy and well taken care of. When we picked them up they were happy to see us, but not frantic to get home. I will for sure book with her again.”
