“Kristy is very professional and experienced in caring for our pets! She responded quickly, went the extra mile (literally) with handling our dogs for the day. We greatly appreciated her support and personality! We will definitely be reaching out for future needs!! Thank you so ver much!”


About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.

“Brianna and Carter were fabulous! Thank you SO much!”


About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I live to make them feel special and connected. I have adopted senior dogs as well as dealt with special needs dogs and cats before. From giving medications, to picky eaters, to knowing what to watch for in an emergency. I am experienced and will make your pet feel warm and safe. I work from home during business hours, so any animals in my home are always surrounded by love. After business hours we love going for walks and adventures as well as just going on errands where we can stop and check on anyone who needs us to I am not afraid of nippy or fearful dogs. Nor am I worried about aggressive breeds. I can crate dogs as needed. I can read their body language and will not overstep. I will help with bathing or nails if needed. I do have a friendly bernese mountain dog who can come with for walks, as well as 2 toddlers who are growing up trained around how to act with dogs and cats. They will not be mad if your dog nips or knocks them over

About: I’ve taken care of pets for atleast 10 years, for friends and family. I’ve become a pro walker and bather for furry friends. I’ve worked with seniors to puppies. I’ve given animals meds before as well! I’m currently working on my own hours as I please so I’m free for any walks or play time or just some good pets and treats! I have a big home with a big backyard, that isn’t fenced but I do that ties for pups that may need it but I don’t leave dogs unsupervised for potty time or playing fetch in the yard. I also have a kiddie pool for the pups that enjoy it like my lab puppy does! We love to take hikes around the area too so If your pup is up for it so am I! I do have 2 small dog crates for about 10lbs pups, and then I do have a crate for about a 70 lb pup if needed for anything. I also do have a lake property on the range with a dock that is available to use for hot summer days for pups that may be interested in jumping in and swimming!

About: Years of dog experience from puppies to hospice dogs. Your pet is just as important to me & will receive great care! Lots of love, treats, exercise & opportunities to socialize & play under supervision! I live & work in Grand Rapids Thursday evening to Tuesday afternoon. Lots of weekend flexibility, open spaces to walk, trears and lots of attention! Putter (10) & Nelly (12) love everyone! Dogs are with me 24/7 with very little alone times. Multiple walks daily ranging from .5 to 2 miles! Lots of trails and opportunities to explore supervised!

About: Not only have I took care of dogs, but also cats and rodents! I am fine with cleaning up messes and I love to just sit down and play with pets whenever I take care of any! I am working part-time this summer 7AM-2:30PM on mismatch days. Pets would be getting fed at 6AM on those days, I will make sure to inform the client ahead of time of my schedule. I have two friendly dogs that like to sniff. They are both friendly with cats. I also have a cat, so cat friendly pets are preferred to take care of.

About: I have a love for all animals and spend my free time with my dogs and horses. We are always outside going for walks or trails rides my pups love to tag along. I work shift work so my job gives me plenty of time off. During the week and also a full week off every month so I get to be with my pups all the time. I allow all pets in my home and will also travel to your home and let your animals out during the day while you’re at work.

“We absolutely love Cassidie! She is so fun & genuine. You can tell right away when meeting her that she will take the absolute best care of your dogs - and she did! She’s on time, sends updates and pictures, and genuinely cares for your pets. We are so thankful we found her! 10/10 recommend!!”


About: I have 2 Dogs and one cat of my own. One of my dogs is diabetic so she receives two insulin shots a day. This is something I can provide to pets. I am currently working from home and would easily be able to walk dogs or check in on animals at anytime throughout the day. This would fit well. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my yard is fenced in. At other people’s homes I would walk dogs on a hand held leash if the yard was not fenced in.

Scott E.
“We have had Scott take care of our dogs on multiple occasions. We had an older whippet(who has now passed away), and a highly energetic lab. If we go anywhere we are likely taking them with us, but the situations that it wasn’t possible, Scott was always our first call. He was able to adhere to our older dog’s dietary instructions and also provide them both with adequate exercise as needed. He cared for them and made sure to give them the affection they both were accustomed to. Scott would be a great person to rely on to care for your dogs!”
