House Sitting in Wayland

About: I've taken care of puppies to the elderly dogs. Treat them as though we are a pack or family. Have had to take care of a high anxiety dog that required meds and territorial dogs. Coexistence is key. This is my full time job so I take your pets care seriously. I learn their cues to when need food, water, and outside time. I require detailed instructions written out so as to best take care of your fur baby. I like to get to know them to provide the best care I can.

“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”

About: I have dog/cat experience as I was raised with them and currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can care for those will medical needs. I had a diabetic dog for 14 years up until 3.5 years ago My daily life is pretty flexible. I work full time but have flexibility before and after work and weekends. I work 8 hours shifts . If u live near my work I can always check on your pets on my lunch break My hope is to keep pets routine similar as if there owner was not away. My hope is that owners would leave information about their pets , what they like and don’t like. Whatever instructions ar elect I will follow

“Did an absolutely awesome job watching my sweet boy. Very communicative and did everything to ensure Moe’s routine was as normal as possible while I was gone. Will definitely rebook!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Ashley! She was incredibly attentive and loving towards our pets, and we were so relieved to know they were in such good hands! She even took the initiative to clean up around the house, making our return home so much easier! Ashley's flexibility and willingness to help with any potential issues were truly appreciated! We'll be forever grateful for her outstanding care and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Breanna house sat for us for a week and care for our dog and two cats. She was outstanding! We knew from our first meeting that our pets would be well cared for and loved. She went above and beyond by watering our plants as well. Lastly, her communication was excellent! We would highly recommend her!”

“I felt very safe leaving our pup with Alivia! She stayed in contact with pictures and up-dates. I will definitely be using her services again!”

“Genesis is so sweet and a true dog lover. Our senior dog took to her right away. She followed our instructions perfectly for a quick weekend trip and communicated frequently. I got a kick out of her smiling and waving to your doorbell camera every time they went out for a walk :)”

“Sue did a fantastic job with our dogs!! She took our younger dog Gus (who has a ton of energy) on several walks throughout the day. She was also able to get our older dog Auggie (who is terrified of everyone and everything) to come to her, get on leash and go for a walk. This was miraculous to say the least because it usually takes Auggie a very long time to even begin to trust anyone. Sue most definitely has a dog whisperer touch and we will absolutely be contacting her for all of our dog sitting needs in the future.”

“Cherokee was extremely communicative and easy to work with. One of my special needs dogs was having a bad night and refused to interact. Cherokee kept me aware of the situation and was even able to eventually coax Astrid out with what must have been extreme patience. My other dogs were tired out and we came home to a neat place with no accidents.”

“Skyler was Great! She was quick to respond and made the entire process very easy! My puppy is only 10 weeks old and she took very good care of her, taking her outside to the bathroom and giving her lots of love! She always sent photos of my puppy throughout the night to keep me updated on how she was doing! Which held ease my nerves about leaving her for work at such a young age. I will definitely be booking again with Skyler :)”

Jeannette H.

“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”

Andrea K.

“So grateful for Elise. Our dog got sick the day we left for a trip and she went out of her way to cook and care for him. So lucky we had her!”

Angela S.

“She was excellent. The dogs were happy and well cared for. I would use her services again!”

Cindy L.

“Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).”

Kyla B.

“Hannah is amazing with our dog, Fudge! She is always communicating with us and sending pictures and videos which makes my dog mama heart happy and eases my anxiety of leaving him:)”

About: I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care! I've been working with neighbors and have been recommended to others due to my reliable and compassionate pet care. In addition, I have completed countless volunteer hours through the Humane Society of West Michigan's Dogs Day Out program, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of varying temperaments, energy levels, and care needs! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for any pet care needed on weekdays and weekends! In my own home, I have one cat who loves to lie around the house during the day and snuggle next to me at night! My #1 goal is to make sure your pet is having fun in a safe and comfortable environment at all times!

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.

“Becki was super responsive and kept us updated with all the pictures during our week away. Arya was happy and well cared for the entire time!”

About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.
