“Sam rocks! Kinda the best way to word it. Pretty sure CT is in love. He is far away from an easy walk and Sam is teaching while exercising him. Best of both worlds. Solid rebook”

About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but just need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY PET BACKGROUND: I have experience housesitting with dogs/cats for up to a week. In this time, I maintained the house, watered plants, fed both cats and dogs, took care of trash and mail, etc. My family has had up to 8 dogs at once, ranging from puppy to senior. Now, we currently have 3 dogs and even a pet rabbit. I found a passion for training pets/encouraging good behavior, which led me to teach my pup tricks like roll over, bang bang, dance, etc., and we both loved every minute! We also took in a stray feral cat (was stuck in a car hood, long story), and for the past few months I have successfully worked hard to make a connection and bond with her! I do also help care for the cat in my home in Indiana. I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, with my shift typically starting at 3pm. My schedule does tend to shift around, but on days I do work, I am flexible with when I can watch your loved one and am willing to visit as much as possible before and after work. However, when I'm not working, I am more than happy to spend as much time with your pet as possible/wanted. While in your home, I will be around your pet 24/7, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I love playing with pets but can also enforce rules and regulations set up for your pet with ease. I can handle crating, leashing, feeding, picking up messes, and more. If housesitting, I am happy to assist in pickup and general house upkeep, including trash night, collecting mail, dusting, etc.

“Greatest walker in the area! Very responsive and great with our dog. He is a very strong dog and Taylor handled him very well, not an easy feat for sure”

About: I’ve worked in a dog boarding facility and in the daycare as well as being a dog bather, giving me firsthand experience with different breeds, behaviors, and special needs. I’m confident, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing safe, loving care for every dog. I have open availability and am happy to accommodate your schedule to care for your pets whenever they need me! Anyway I can be of help is my pleasure. I provide trusted attentive care in clients’ homes, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of love and companionship. I love spoiling pets with affection, playtime, and care tailored to their unique personalities!

About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember, from cats and their kittens, to hamsters and Guinea pigs, squirrels, mice and of course dogs. I’ve had a few cats of my own and currently have an almost 9 year old pitbull and 10 year old cat. I also have experience with deaf animals (I had a beautiful deaf American bulldog Staffordshire terrier mix) and am very comfortable giving medications/shots. My dog is also reactive so I’m very familiar handling those kinds of situations. I’ve always thrived around animals and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving on as many as I can. I’m open to anything, walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home. If your pets are happy so am I! I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and I’m hoping to get as many hours with animals as I can get! I am only looking to go to others homes, my home is not big enough for a large crowd of animals unfortunately. I am more than happy to drive to/stay at others homes to take care of their fur babies. I treat every animal like they are my own and follow owners guidelines very closely

About: Hi! I have 2 dogs of my own, a 8mo lab, and a 5yo Australian Terrier. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, gerbils, etc. A house without a pet is far too quiet for me. I have experience with reactive dogs, training pets, and caring for individual needs. No need to worry about medications, temperament or your personal preferences, I would want my pets to be taken care of just like I do when I’m home- I will ensure they are loved & cared for to the fullest extent. I am a wedding photographer so I prefer not to take sessions on the days I am actively photographing a wedding! I have those blocked off :) I am gentle kind and patient. Different homes have different routines and I understand how important it is to keep your animals routine. I will follow what you have set and send lots of pictures!

About: I have been caring for pets for many years and have experience in caring for dogs, cats, fish and other animals. I have a genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters as I approach every care opportunity with excitement and knowledge of how important this job is! I have a senior dog of my own that I adore and have worked with numerous families with young pets, old pets, big pets, and tiny pets. I have experience in caring for all different kinds of animals, from high energy puppies to seniors! Thank you for considering me in caring for your pet! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available every day after 3pm but am also able to drop in throughout the day like in the mornings or around lunchtime, depending on your pet's needs. On the weekends I am openly available. I am excited to care for your pet in your home however is most comfortable for you! I have experience in a variety of families and am happy to go on walks, play fetch, anything that you would normally do to care for your pet, just let me know!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.

About: I provide loving, reliable care and treat every dog like family. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, experienced with puppies and senior dogs, and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to ensure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s regular routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their environment stays clean and safe and keep owners updated with messages and photos while they’re away.

About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience supporting pets through all life stages and needs. Whether your pet requires medication management, specialized diet adherence, mobility assistance, or extra patience due to age or disability, I approach each animal as an individual deserving attentive, compassionate care. I don’t just follow instructions, I notice subtle changes in behavior, anticipate needs, and communicate proactively with owners so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working part time as a painter, part time with Rover, and volunteering for Harbor Humane, but worry not. I can make my schedule completely open for any pet care needs. I will rarely be unavailable. I prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort above all. Whether that means leash walks through your neighborhood, supervised backyard play in their familiar space, or respecting crating schedules you’ve established, I adapt to what works for your pet, not what’s easiest for me. I ensure fresh water is always available, meals are served on time, and any special instructions (door security, alarm codes, plant watering) are followed exactly. Beyond the basics, I make time for real connection like belly rubs, play sessions, or just calm companionship for anxious pets. You’ll come home to a pet who felt cared for, not just looked after.
