Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Alger Heights, Grand Rapids, MI

“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”

“I’m so thankful for the love & care that Suzanne and her kids gave my kitten. He got sick the night before I left and she really helped me out by giving him his needed meds while I was gone. I’m sure my kitten enjoyed all of the play time with her kids! Highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.

“Brian has helped us out when we’ve needed a last-minute dog sitter, has been flexible when we need to adjust, and above all he cares for Gus like family. We have booked Brian’s services several times and intend to continue!”

“Kaitlyn was very responsive prior to setting up services. Her daily updates and pictures were comforting and helpful for ensuring that our two elderly cats were doing well while we were gone. We had a minor issue on one visit with her gaining access to our home, and Kaitlyn was quick to help resolve. I would not hesitate to book her again in the future.”

About: Hello my name is Mimi! I am 23 years old I live with my husband and his family and we have three dogs and three cats. Paco and Roxy are oldest dogs they are about to turn 3 years old In March and we just got our puppy scrappy he is about to be 4 months old. We have three cats sunshine, melody, and snowy that are also going to be turning three years old this year. I work part time at Chow hound I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to working for rover as well. I have always loved animals my whole life but I grew up in apartments so never really got the chance to have pets of my own other then just small animals such as rabbits,hamsters,ferrets, and guinea pigs. Then once me and my husband got together we got pups and cats and we been really happy with them sometimes they are rebellious but they are also what brings joy into our lives. Also back when I started Rover I started it because since I couldn't have dogs or cats of my own I was like why not help people that need help with there pets so that's when I got introduced to Rover getting to do what I love to do and help others! I am working part time at Chow hound and also work Rover my job they are very flexable! If it is necessary I do request days off if needed! I try my best to give my clients dogs a good time and respect there home if I do housing sitting jobs and as for when I have my clients over dogs over I just let them play with my pups and it’s great I enjoy seeing my dogs socialize with other dogs.

“Madison was awesome- as usual- with our critters. Our dog is even injured and she took extra care with him while he’s healing from his injuries. We love having her take care of our pets when we are out of town. And she sends the best photos of them too! 😂”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and personalities; from tiny lap dogs to powerful Akitas, and from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. With 28 years of experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s giving medication, going on long walks, scooping litter boxes, or just offering some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to tailor my routine around their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my day; I genuinely enjoy it and always make it a priority! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or instructions closely to help pets feel at ease and keep their environment familiar. I make sure they’re never left unattended for long, always have access to fresh water, and get plenty of love and attention. I also keep spaces clean, secure, and calm; whether it’s cozy nap time or active playtime, I aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.

About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!

About: I have close attention to detail, which is important when caring for pets. I’m able to identify behavior and appetite changes and provide proper care. I am patient, kind & caring. I have an open schedule during the summertime. When I’m not caring for others’ animals, I’m spending time loving on my own cat and often caring for my MIL’s senior dog. I pay close attention not only to giving your pet lots of love, but also their behaviors and appetite to ensure they are healthy & happy. I love to take dogs for walks and provide a comfortable and clean environment for cats & dogs. Pets can sometimes be apprehensive when meeting a new caregiver, so it’s important to be patient & kind as they get to know me and become comfortable.

“Jenn was fantastic! She arrived in time, followed our kitty's complicated medication routine perfectly, and stayed for a while to give scritches and play. My cats and I would definitely recommend her.”

Jill G.

“Beth was so phenomenal. We had her come on our wedding day to look after our 2 cats, one that requires medication and supplements multiple times a day. I can’t tell you how great it was to not have to worry about my cats at all, and to be able to look at photos of the cats throughout the day and know they were being taken care of. We got back home later that night to 2 very relaxed cats! Cannot recommend Beth enough!”
