I am very responsible with dogs and feel I would be a good fit for you :) I am currently am on summer break on college and will be available 24/7 for your animals needs. I am very flexible and do not mind love stays or difficult animals I make sure all of my pets have food and water throughout the day and outside and I expect to do the same for your animals.

About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I provide dependable, attentive, and loving care so pets can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself with 3 dogs of my own, I understand the level of patience, consistency, and attention that goes into properly caring for pets every day. I know that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Some dogs love staying active with walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing and getting cuddles and companionship. I make it a priority to adjust my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also have experience giving medications to dogs through caring for my own pets, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and already care for 3 dogs of my own each day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, as well as Saturdays and Sundays with open availability. I enjoy being able to give pets the time, patience, and attention they need while their owners are away and do my best to keep their routines as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it a priority to keep their environment calm, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other specific care needs to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is allowing me into their home and trusting me with their pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

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’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!

About: I've had animals since I was little and am comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of animals. I have two dogs and two barn cats and love spending time with as many animals as I can! I am the go to pet sitter among all our friends and have had many jobs watching dogs and cats. I have trained all my own animals as well as helping friends train theirs. One of my dogs is a senior and I have had experience with taking care of other senior pups! I have also had seasonal work on small hobby farms and have worked with animals including goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, horses, sheep, alpacas and pigs. I'm available for day jobs, check in jobs, or watching your dogs in my home. I get home around 3:30 on Tuesday-Thursday and work from home on Monday's and Friday's so I have a lot of time to play with all the fur babies! My husband, who is also a dog lover, is home in the evenings and the weekends to also love on your pet and make sure they get all the attention they deserve and need! If you're boarding or doing daycare at our house, while we don't have a fenced yard, we have a full acre and have two friendly dogs that love playing with new friends and help keep them in our yard! I can also take dogs out on a leash if needed to keep them safe. We have plenty of space in our house to crate your pet or to give them their own space away from our dogs if they need a little break. I do require a meet and greet with my pups to make sure they are a good fit together! When taking care of pets in your home, I am able to bring one of my dogs to play if they work well together and if you want them to get a little extra energy out.

About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay. I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps. Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀

Sue was so great! She took excellent care of our Greyhound JJ and was so quick to fill in for our normal sitter on such short notice (even over the holiday season)! Sue really loves the animals she cares for and it shows! She spent lots of time with JJ when she came over, even hanging out with him inside since it was so cold and snowy outside!
