“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!”

“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

About: As a cat owner, I am most familiar with cats. I understand their body language and knew shelter cats were often upset before other staff members even realized. I have experience dealing with aggressive cats, feral cats, and extremely frightened cats. Staying calm and knowing you can never be faster than the cat is key! These experiences set me up great to take care of almost any domestic cat.

Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house

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.

Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

I’m more than happy to sit outside with them (weather pending) and play or just hangout together.

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

“Alex was awesome! Warm, welcoming and flexible. GusGus had a great time playing with her little dog and getting snuggles from her sweet kids. I definitely recommend esp for happy dogs that “play well with others””

“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”

“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”

“Susan was a wonderful caregiver to our Darla. She sent us messages with updates letting us know our girl was settling in nicely. She also made us aware of the extra TLC she gave Darla the first few hours as she acclimated to her home. This was our first time leaving Darla with someone outside of family and we are so grateful Susan was available and so sweet to our girl. We highly recommend her. She’s an excellent caregiver and comforter!”

“Stephanie put everything into watching our dog, and completely put our minds at ease while we were in Grand Rapids and having a busy week of events. We are from out of town, but I wish we could work with Stephanie every time! The best.”
