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

“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!”

“Communication was amazing and fast!! Katie sent lots of pictures for all visits as well which made me feel even more comfortable, though I was already comfortable as she had a very calm and kind demeanor. Will definitely book again!”

“Sarah was great with our pup and sent pictures and great descriptions of her visits. She was also very understanding and flexible when we had a change of plans. Would highly recommend!”

“Alexis did a couple of drop in visits to feed my kitties during a long weekend. Her reports after each visit were super detailed and she went the extra mile by watering my plants for me during a hot streak. Will definitely hire again the next time we are out of town!”

“As a first time Rover user and a first time dog mom, Katie is making it super easy for me to focus on work knowing my pup is in good hands! During the meet and greet, Katie took notes of some commands I was working along with some other notable things about the home and area. I appreciated this level of attention to detail. Her Rover card commentary is excellent and has a very quick response time (texting and showing up for the scheduled visits). :)”

“If I could give Ariel 10 stars, I would! We booked a last minute vacation, and Ariel agreed on short notice to drop in twice daily on our cat. Super responsive, dependable, and easy to communicate with! Ariel went above and beyond, and she also checked on a few minor household items. Our cat is super social and needs lots of love and attention! He cozied right up to Ariel. She provided him lots of playtime and showed up for every visit on time.”

“So helpful dogs are happy and cared for!”

“Emily was so great with our Kitten Java! Super communicative and responsible and sent such cute photos. It’s so nice to know that we are leaving our little baby”

“Anna was great! She took lots of pictures and gave great updates. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future when we need a sitter!”

“Trever did a great job taking care of my dog on short notice! He kept me updated, asked questions when he had them, and made sure to give my dog some quality time while I was out of town. Highly recommend.”

“Bianca was wonderful. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of Blaine. It was my first trip away after my other cat's passing and knowing that Bianca was there to look after Blaine, my cat, was a great comfort.”

“Claire was everything I needed in a dog sitter. After many bad experiences with boarding, I wanted to give a sitter a shot instead. She was very communicative and helped me through the process of using Rover for the first time. I could clearly tell that she was an animal lover and treated my dog like he was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but Katrina did a great job with our 2 dogs. We appreciated that she did a meet and greet prior to the appointment so she could meet the dogs while we were there.”

“I can’t say enough great things! Maggie has watched Remmy for 4 months and he absolutely loves her. She is kind and caring and takes great care of him. Thank you so much for always making sure things are going smooth and that he’s okay. She goes above and beyond!”

“Suzanne takes excellent care of our animals every time we need her help. She is very flexible, accommodating our last minute changes. Our cats are relaxed when we get home so I know they are very comfortable with her. She always sends updates with photos so I know how the pets are doing.”

“Candis is great! Both of our dogs warmed up to her right away. Communication was fantastic and we didn’t have to worry at all about the care the fur babies were receiving while we were out of town. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up in a house full of Yorkies, helping to care for them from birth through adulthood. I've been a veterinary assistant for the past 2.5 years, which has only strengthened my love and empathy for pets. At work, I typically care for hospitalized patients recovering from surgery or receiving care for a major illness. I love building a bond with my patients and taking care of them during such a scary and stressful time. My workplace puts a large emphasis on fear-free handling, which has given me so many tools to identify the emotional state of pets and how to interact with them to keep them comfortable and happy. I work full-time overnights. I typically have 3-4 days off a week where I would be available for pet sitting. I have one cat at home who does not require constant monitoring. One of my favorite activities is making up little songs for my own cat and my patients. I will likely be unable to stop myself from singing to your pets, unless they give me a clear indication that the singing is terrible and must stop. I'm comfortable with most harnesses and leashes, but I do prefer to walk dogs with a non-retractable leash. Whatever your preferences are for care, I will make it happen.

“I highly recommend Keiley as a pet caregiver because they go above and beyond to care for all animals. Keiley is very responsible and knowledgeable with their animal care. You can tell they really love working with pets and is always so loving and patient towards any animal they meet.”

“Amber is an awesome dog sitter who is always dependable last minute and I know my pups are being treated the same (if not better) than I do. She is a genuinely loving person all around and will spoil your animal with love and attention.”

“Alexis is an amazing dog sitter! I have a small dog, Cricket, and she is always so excited to see Alexis whenever I drop her off, and Cricket gets very anxious, but never with Alexis. Alexis does have a large dog, who is an absolute sweetheart. Her dog is very gentle with Cricket. Most large dogs are too rough with Cricket, so she is pretty skittish with large dogs. However, Alexis' dog has become Cricket's best friend, and they enjoy playing in her backyard. I highly recommend Alexis!”
