About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!

“Katie takes care of my babies so well that I don’t worry about them when I am out of state. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Alisa was an excellent sitter for our two pups! She communicated with us throughout our trip, sent daily photos and updates, and took great care of both our dogs and our home. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alisa again and will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you so much, Alisa!”

“Avery is the best! Henry warmed up to her immediately, and they had bonded nicely by the time I returned home. I will definitely be utilizing Avery’s services in the future! I highly recommend her.”

“Lydia did a really great job watching my dogs! They aren’t easy since one is in his senior years and the other is much younger. She got my old boy his meds and got him fed which isn’t always easy. She walked my dogs daily which I really appreciate! Plenty of pics to check in and she asked questions because I always leave out some detail here or there lol.”

“Morgan stayed at my house & cared for my very demanding (spoiled) Cavalier KCS, betta fish & chameleon. I returned to a very clean, neat home & happy pets. I would recommend Morgan!”

Angie H.

“Kristen was such a wonderful Rover over the past week, house sitting for me and taking care of my two cats! She is very communicative and kind and took great care of my cats. Even though they can be pretty shy, they warmed up to Kristen right away. :) I’ll happily ask Kristen to house sit again if needed!”

About: Hi, I'm Lena! As a lifelong animal lover, I know that your pets are family. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're at work or away, ensuring your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and affection they deserve. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, punctual, and highly attentive to each dog's unique personality and energy level. I do also have my own dog named Luna! In my free time, I run a small business, Pawsome Creations - MI Made, handmaking pet bandanas and accessories! I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My routine easily fits pet care around my workday. I am available during my 12:00–1:00 PM lunch break for quick walks or drop-ins, and I am fully open after 4:30 PM for evening care. My weekends are completely free for full-time dog boarding and daycare. I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where guest pets are treated just like family. My home is a pet-friendly space with a reliable routine for regular feedings, backyard potty breaks, and cozy rest periods. I offer crating if needed for safety or comfort, prioritize clear communication, and ensure every pet feels completely secure and right at home.

“Christina and her daughter took a very last minute booking from me for my two pups when I had a family emergency. They were wonderful, as always. My girls absolutely love it when they stay with them! And I always feel so comfortable knowing they are with my girls and watching over my house. Great updates and communication.”

Chelsea H.

“Gisela did such a great job with my pups! Was very communicative with photos and updates! I look forward to having her dog sit again! Thank you!”

Elisabeth P.

“Krystal did a great job on short notice and took care of my babies, I like that she would take pictures and share them with me, extra special attention, thank you”

Patrick G.

“Caleigh did a great job with Starla. I am so grateful that she was able to sit for us at such short notice! We would love to have her back again for future sits.”

“From the meet and greet, it was obvious that Grace is a dog lover. While we were on vacation, Grace kept us updated with pictures of our pups. When delays kept us away longer than expected, Grace was flexible, professional, and accommodating.”

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

About: I have extensive pet sitting and house sitting experience. Not only are our pets our companions; they’re our family. It’s important for me to earn the trust of my client - YOU - because you’re allowing me to spend time with your beloved pet(s)! That’s a win win for the both of us! I genuinely adore animals of all kinds and I take my responsibility as their caretaker or nurturer very seriously. -DOGGO EXPERIENCE: Many different breeds, shapes, sizes. Some with special needs. I’ve worked with clients, both known and unknown, as well as family and friends who all are more than willing to provide more in-depth references on me, if you so desire. Experience with long term care of large pit bull that needed training assistance in Arizona. I also housesat and petsat for a family with a large Weimaraner who had special needs (nervous problems especially) in Kalamazoo, Michigan that I had to be extra sensitive and mindful to. (Each of these families both kept me on for multiple years, depending on my location at the time.) CATS (very experienced and skilled with cats - my knowledge of them is above and beyond, as I have 2 of my own myself, both rescues.) (2) Rabbits - one was my roommates; the other belongs to a very close friend and her Husband. I am experienced feeding them and I have knowledge of their temperaments and needs. Reptile experience: 2 Snakes (I am not comfortable feeding them mice, however, sorry about that, but I am experienced with humidifying their environments and checking up on them - fearlessly!) Any other questions? Please just ask me! :) My Mom passed away last summer and I decided to move back home to Michigan and take a year off to tend to my Father, being that I’m an only child and he’s my only family left. I am grateful to be back home in Michigan, and I’d like to utilize my free time wisely - pet sitting / house sitting / spending time with animals brings me peace and joy! My career consisted of a tremendous amount of safety and security tasks. I am a reputable individual with drive and passion and I love connecting with people. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am available in the greater West Michigan area. If you are not in Kalamazooo, I am more than willing to travel to you for a small fee, depending how far it takes for me to drive to you. I want you to be at comfort and ease while you’re away, so I always ask for a little note about your expectations of me, your pet(s) feeding schedule, walking schedule and typical routes, what is ok/not ok in regards to (being on the furniture, offering treats, jumping on people - I don’t mind being jumped on at all by a cute dog, but if that’s something you’re trying to train your dog NOT to do, please note that, for example, so I can contribute to your training rather than mess it up. My home is open to dogs (only one at a time) who are OK being around my cat, Oliver. He has been acclimated with dogs.. and I would typically keep them separated if you want me to watch them in my home. I have an apartment, and we have a nice dog park.. but do keep in mind; I might have to fluctuate your fees depending on what adjustments I may need to make to my home or lifestyle to accommodate your pet in my home temporarily! In your home, I am very respectable and trustworthy (with plenty of references so you feel comfortable). I don’t mind doing light cleaning while I am in your space, I always clean up after myself and your pet while you are away. Again, any expectations of me? Just inform me! :)

“Connor was amazing, we left town for 9 days and he stayed at our house with our 1 year old wheaten. He sent pics and updates each day, and we came home to the house just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Connor for anyone looking for a dependable dog watcher.”
