About: Hey there! My name's Graham and I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to care for your pets! I've grown up with pets my whole life! From many dogs, a cat, a bird, to even a bearded dragon, I've loved helping my family care for our pets! Now, I'm ready to help you continue to take care of yours! I'm currently a medical assistant and will be attending Physician Assistant school later this year and I'm excited to use this as an opportunity to save some money before starting school in the fall! I'm open to any and all commissions and would love to hear from you! I work full-time as a medical assistant with my current weekly schedule of: Monday through Friday (7:15 am–5:30 pm most days, Fridays until 12:30 pm) I’m available for pet sitting or drop-ins before and after work on weekdays, and fully available most weekends. I'd love to get to know you and come do a friendly pre-client visit to meet you and your pet and hear about clear instructions for their care! I’m open to helping in any way and can accommodate!
“Annabelle was awesome!! She house sat for over a week while I was out of state. My dog is a retired K9, so he's very high drive and high energy. She was absolutely fantastic with him, and he LOVED her. This was my first time leaving him in the care of someone new and she was perfect. On top of that, she left the house spotless, had great communication the entire time, and even went above and beyond by putting ointment on his paw pad after he got a little cut while playing. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to ensure their fur babies are well taken care of while they are away, whether it’s a weekend or a week. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort, making sure pets feel secure while you’re away. With a strong sense of responsibility and genuine care for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing not just basic care, but companionship and trust you can count on. I work a full time job 3 days a week for 12.5 hour shifts. It is understandable if that deters animals owners away from choosing me. On the days off, the fur babies will get all the love I can give them! When I’m on a sitting job, I always stay at the clients home for the duration of the sitting job so their fur babies are in the comfort of their own home with no environment changes.
About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies. I can spend time with your babies as needed I would come in a take them for walks feed and play with them if needed. Give them lots of of love and treats when needed
“Julian did a great job with our pups. She was even able to get our shepherd who never eats while we are away to eat. They looked so comfortable in the picture updates she sent!”
“Sarah did a great job watching Lacy at my home over the weekend. She was an extremely responsive communicator and left my house like she hadn't even been here! Would certainly use her again and recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family/friends dogs for years and love going for walks. I have taken care of German Shepards to small dogs like yorkies. I currently work as an RN in Kalamazoo MI and on my days off I love spending time outdoors walking dogs of any size or breed. I am a very trust worthy and responsible person. I am familiar with the Gull Lake area and would love to be able to walk more dogs!
“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”

“Katie did a wonderful job cat-sitting for us. She is communicative and friendly and completely put our minds at ease that our cat was well cared for while we were out of town. We highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since a young age, I’ve house sat and checked in with friends and family’s dogs many times throughout the years. I always make sure I maintain any training rules that are being practiced and enjoy spending time with dogs of all types! I am a college student currently home for the summer, so I have a lot of time to be attentive with your pups! I am available for walking any day of the week, mostly in the mornings but can also do afternoons. I am also available to house sit throughout the week- contact me for further info! I am great with following instructions on how to best take care of your dogs and have no problem spending lots and lots of time with them!
“Cera made this first time Rover user at ease. She scheduled a meet up with me and worked with my schedule. She also sent pictures during her stay which was very appreciated. Will book again!”


About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 9 years old. Lots of experience with both long and short term house sitting, with multiple animals with different needs! Currently I work part time as a dance instructor, so I have plenty of time and energy to keep your pets entertained. I’m available most days for house sitting and pet care Your home, your rules!
