“Olivia took great care of my dog and kitten. She checked in with us daily, sent pictures and walked Willow. The house was left clean and tidy. It was such a relief to know my pets were happy and safe while I was away from home. Thank you, Olivia.”


“Jailyn stayed at my home while I was away. Not a sitter that pops in and out, she stayed with Fred. I highly recommend Jailyn for this service. Coming home to a calm dog told me Fred and Jailyn got along well together (Fred and I have high separation anxiety). Thank you so much. I will contact her if I ever need to leave town, or even if I need to be gone 24 hours.”

“All I can say is “Wow!” Nick not only cared for our cat but looked after our home. He watered the outdoor potted plants and picked tomatoes for us. He even washed the towels and bedsheets. I truly believe he left our house cleaner than it was when we left. If you want complete confidence that your pet and home will be well cared for, we highly recommend Nick!”

“It was our first time using Rover and Bethanie did an amazing job watching our 3 dogs. She was great at communicating with us during our trip and sending pics of our dogs. She also left our home very clean! We would definitely recommend Bethanie and hire her again!”


About: Hi! My name is Audrey! I'm a nurse and take care of humans for a living, but I also can take care of fur babies! (It also means I'm also an expert at cleaning pee and poop). I've been a dog owner and taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I've had multiple dogs growing up and currently own my 9-year old dog Maxx, and he gets along really well with most dogs. It brings me so much joy to bring dogs on walks and to give them love and attention they deserve. I can't imagine a life without having a fur baby, and I hope I get to help take care of yours! I work from home part-time and have a very open and flexible availability! Weekdays work better but am able to do weekends as needed too! I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a lot of space to walk around the apartment complex. There is a fenced in dog runner at this complex too.
“Jeremiah house sat for us for 5 days. Our senior puppy really took to him, enjoying ear and belly rubs. Our kitty, who is fairly new to our family , warmed up to him as well. Would definitely hire him again. Respect young man.”

“Amie was amazing. I was SO nervous about leaving my boy for two nights and being so far away from him for that long, but he was in such great hands with Amie. She arrived before I left, making it a smooth transition, and we was able to stay with Oscar until I got home. She was amazing with him and it is clear that he loves her, and she was so respectful of my little home. Things were freshly washed and cleaned and neatly put away; I didn't have to do a single extra thing except spend quality time with my boy. Amie is incredible, and it is clear to me that she loves the animals she watches so much. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.
About: I've always had a passion for animals even since when I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always some sort of animal in the house, but the animals that really impacted my life was a German Shepherd Corgi and Husky mix named Noah and I had a cat named Meow Meow.They were both my best friends and were so protective and sweet. They are reason why I care about animals and am interested in working with animals. I can do anything such as feeding, changing water, administering medication, letting them go potty/ cleaning litter boxes, and of course providing all the cuddles. I would love to chat and to meet your animals and give them the best care that they deserve! I am a student in college, at Southwestern Michigan College but I am taking classes online. All I need is wifi. So, I am really available any day and time! I will provide a safe, secure and loving environment for all breeds I pet sit. My care will leave pet parents confident in my ability to care for their pet in positive ways that meet the pet needs and more some.

We booked Sara to help with out with our two dogs for our wedding and she went above and beyond my expectations! I’ve never had someone I didn’t know watch our boys, but she quickly gained my trust and made sure they were well taken care. She drove our boys to and from our wedding venue, helped with them during pictures, and made sure they were comfortable before leaving. Truly made our special day that much more special and eased my nerves not having to worry about them.
