Pet Sitting Zeeland

“Karyn was excellent - took great care of our dog and made her happy while we were away. Karyn helped us out on short notice and really saved the day. We didn’t worry about Sammy at all!”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

“Jami did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was away for 2 weeks. She did daily check-ins and went above and beyond.”

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”

“We really appreciated Caleb and the special attention he paid to our cat Pawly while we were away and Pawly's brother had to be boarded due to health issues. Caleb was reliable and communicative, enthusiastic and professional. Thanks for keeping Pawly entertained with his laser toy too!”

“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

About: As a former pet owner of two dogs and working at a vet office for eight years has given me hands on experience which I treasured. I’m that person who will remember a dogs name before the owners name. 🤪. I’m new to Rover and look forward to meeting new pets. I’m recently retired and would rather walk with a dog than alone. This would be a seasonal “job” which is more therapeutic than anything. I have been a responsible pet owner so doggy bags will be used and litter box cleaned. Taking care of pets is a joy for me.

“Nancy went above and beyond! We appreciate her attention to detail, and providing such great care for our pupper! Highly recommend ❤️”

Christina S.

“Grateful to have Elexis watching and loving our big fluff during our family trip! They were immediate buddies when she took the extra time to meet Delta ahead of the scheduled visits. Highly recommend her for the extras, attention to detail, and great service!”

“Allyssa took wonderful care of our cat! She was friendly, responsive, thorough and sent us great pictures while we were gone! I could tell our kitty was relaxed and well taken care of :)”

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 always been an animal lover that is patient and nurturing to pets. I grew up with both dogs and cats. For years I have been a reliable and trustworthy person among family, friends, and neighbors. I have extensive experience checking in on pets and playing with them throughout the day, dog walking, and overnight pet/house sitting for a variety of cat and dog breeds. I also have experience administering medication to pets if needed. For example, one dog I’ve watched many times had a case of kennel cough/pneumonia and/or ear infection that required daily antibiotics and ear drops. I am extremely passionate about pets and giving them the best care possible to ensure they remain healthy, active, and happy. I take pride in providing excellent care and peace of mind for pet owners. I also like to take photos of the pets each day or so to send to their owners to keep them updated and ensure their well-being. I am able to check on pets before and after work, as well as during lunch breaks. If/when working from home, I can stay at the house with the pets throughout the day. In the evenings and weekends while pet sitting, I take the dog(s) for a walk and then spend time playing and hanging out with them in the backyard and/or around the house. When pet sitting at client’s homes, I make sure the pets are always nearby or at least in view. I routinely let dogs out into the backyard for exercise and potty breaks as needed, and ensure all gates are closed/locked to keep them safe. I also regularly check their bowls so that they always have access to fresh water and are fed on their usual schedule.

“Emily was wonderful to work with and took great care of my cat while we were away. She made sure to send pictures frequently and was great with communication and updates. She played with our cat well and made sure that she got attention during visits. I would recommend!”

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Kaylan was terrific. She fed our cats and played with them. She is a good communicator, very responsible, and helped us out an extra time when we needed it.”

“Karrie is a near neighbor who could walk to our home. Our dog liked her and she did just what we asked!”

Susan M.

“Great communication! Our dogs loved her! Very respectful of our property! She even loved on our cats when they came to say hello as well! Would recommend over and over again! 10/10!”

Courtney D.

“Tracy was great. She was communicative while we were gone, sending pictures. It’s clear she loves anime. We’ll definitely use Tracy’s services again!”

Cindi B.

“10/10 highly recommended. We had Sarah do drop in visits once per day for our cats over Christmas vacation. We were really nervous to leave our cats for a week because this was our first vacation since having them. We have one cat who is absolutely terrified of strangers and would prefer to hide under the bed all day and another cat who likes to sneak out the front door and explore. Sarah came in on the first day and became best friends with BOTH of my cats. Even my shy cat greeted her every day after and played with her throughout the visit. She did such an amazing job at keeping my cats inside, fed, and happy! My cats had such a good time while we were gone that they weren’t even bothered that we left! Sarah is a lifesaver for us and we will never stop recommending her!! Book today!”
