About: Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I have been a nanny for over 7 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all my time to your dog! I usually only take one booking at a time, so If your dog doesn’t get along with other animals that’s no problem. I will always put your animals safety and care first! I will make sure all of their needs are met and your pet is played with and given lots of attention

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ganges
“Jaronsa was fantastic! I was desperate to find someone to watch my little pup, last minute and I’m lucky to have found Jaronsa! Pippa was well taken care of. She loved laying in the sunshine and liked that Jaronsa’s home had plenty of windows. Not to mention, she had the best yard ever! I will definitely reach out again when I am in town, looking for a sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Elli’s stay! The sitter was very flexible and took great care of her. Elli came home happy and tired, so we know she had a good time. Would definitely use her again!”
“She was so good with Lahey!! He is such an active dog and needs alot of exercise, and she was able to give him all the play time he needed!!! Such a great lady and really cares for your pet as if it were her own!!!”
About: We just recently started on Rover and are already loving it! We owned a sweet, energetic Alaskan Husky until our third son was born. Our boys were so good with her. We have more space now and are home all the time with a secure fenced yard. Ready to welcome some animal life back in! I just ask that your dog is comfortable around kids. Our boys are ages 3-7. As a homeschool family of 5 we’re pretty much always home. We are confident your pup will get the love and attention they need and truly feel at home away from home! We have a great fenced yard for dogs. No pets except two bunnies who live outside in secure hutches. Our boys love all animals and are taught to handle them gently, firm and respectfully. Your pup will get plenty of love, play, and potty opportunities :)
“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!”
“Gave my boy a wonderful active day. Lots of walks and boy was he tired out from the day. Lots of playing and attention. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook with Samuel if we come back to this part of the state. Made our anniversary trip so easy knowing he was safe and well taken care of. ❤️”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
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 :)
About: Hello, I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal as if they were my own. I have a genuine love for pets and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box and cleanup duties, and maintaining your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress. I pride myself on being attentive, responsible, and communicative. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise, gentle companionship, or simply someone dependable to check in, I’m here to help. My job allows me to work remote and I homeschool my children who are also great assistants. You can rest assured your furry family member will get alot of love and attention. I work from home and homeschool my 2 teens. We have a very flexible schedule that makes us a great fit to care for and love on your fur baby. I have a large partially unfinished basement with room enough to run and play fetch. Couches to jump on or sleep on. Crates are also an option if needed.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who has cared for pets of all kinds! From house pets to farm animals,I have experience with them all. Farm life has taught me the importance of patience, structure, and endless belly rubs. I work from home, which means your furry friend will get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether we are going on walk around the farm or relaxing, I treat every visiting pet as my own. I'm comfortable with medication administration and follow strict daily routines. I can’t wait to meet you and your partner in crime. I am a stay at home mom. I run our home and our farm so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! From walks to snuggles and playtime to belly scratches, we will love to give them all the attention they need. I live on a farm so we have plenty of room for your dog to explore. If needed, your dog will be leashed went outside. I have one friendly dog that loves to play and two kiddos. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.
About: I grew up with a shetland sheepdog and medium haired house cat. As an adult I've walked large and small dogs of different breeds. I have boarded and pet sat at owners house with dogs that needed meds or had special needs. I currently work part-time Monday to Thursday. This leaves me with plenty of time to spend taking care of your dogs, whether walking or playing. I have a fenced yard and no animals of my own. If I need to crate (you have to supply) your dog, then my house has plenty of space.

“The dogs loved Kristie and came back from their walks/romps tired and smiling. After their first walk with her they were eager to get into her car again the next day.”
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.
