Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Auburn Hill, Grand Rapids, MI

“Elise is honestly an angel, she came in clutch for me at the last minute & she wasn’t my original Rover. She offered helpful info with quick responses just bc, honestly! She did a meet & greet last minute bc how nervous I was. Sent pics everyday with detailed updates; as well as assisted with app issues. One complaint but isn’t an honest mistake. She forgot to lock the door 1x but that’s IT! Everything else perfect! Even cleaned the boogers out my babies eyes hahah”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I work full time but am willing to help in the evenings (5-10pm) and anytime on the weekends! I don't have a busy schedule outside of work. I care for dogs by following their routine, providing attention, comfort, and companionship, keeping them happy and safe, and am experienced in giving medications if needed.

“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”

“I had a travel delay due to weather and couldn't come home until a full day after I had planned, luckily Taylor has watched my cats before and has a key. She responded to my request within 15m (at most) and was available for a booking with less than a day's notice, ensuring my cat got her meds!”

“We were so grateful to have Alaina step in for a few last-minute drop-ins for our dogs, Lily and Luca (who absolutely love her!!). She is reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort she put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Alaina!”

About: I have experience taking care of a variety of animals since age 5. From dogs to cats to lizards to horses to Guinea pigs to birds and more! Whatever your animal throws at me I’ve probably seen before. I’m a recent college graduate looking to lean more into my art so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your precious fur baby! I’ve dealt with a variety of animals with a variety of temperaments, needs, and personalities. I believe it’s important to read an animals body language to make them feel comfortable and confident with their caregiver.

“Ivana is a punctual and a conscientious sitter and took great care of my dogs and my place. She takes her job seriously, was respectful to me and went above and beyond to care for my dogs. I will definitely use her services again. I am happy to have found her.”

Carol G.

“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.”

About: Hello! My (preferred name) is Venti! Ive owned a dog for almost 3 years now and take care of her all by myself! I also own 2 cats and take care of them by myself as well! Ive also been around puppies before as well as kittens! I am still currently in High School and planning on graduating this June! After school I like to check on my two cats to see if they need food or water as well as my one dog, then I take my dog on a walk! I make sure everything stays neat and tidy as well as clean up after pets if any mess happens in the home! I will always supervise if the dog goes outside to potty to make sure they stay safe and sound!

“Jenna is amazing and we have rebooked her now for the second time! I would trust Jenna with my pet any day and I know that she gives the care and comfort our pet needed while we are out of town!”

“Holly was awesome with Luna and helped me out on short notice! She was reliable and provided me with great updates so I knew my fur baby was doing OK while I was away.”

Shana K.

“I am so thankful for Leah! She did an amazing job with my kitty Groucho. Groucho was having trouble with taking his medication while I was away, and she brought kitty safe baby food to mix it into for him so that it was stress free! So freaking kind. Groucho also socialized with her a little bit and when we got home he had been grooming himself! I was so happy to see that my cat really truly trusted her and was okay while I was on vacation. Thank you for what you did for my baby Leah!”

About: From puppies to senior animals, I’ve worked with them all! My goal is for you to feel more than comfortable leaving your pet in my care. My love for pets is endless and I will make sure they get all the love & attention you would give them if you were there yourself. My current schedule allows me to work from home four days a week and am free most evenings for pet sitting, walks or quick check ins. For drop in visits, I will chat with you ahead of time to go over care details and preferences for your pet. Same thing does for in home visits - I’m happy to share photos of my space or invite your over for a trial to have your animal be in my space and meet me before you book an official visit. My home is clean, friendly and inviting!

“Kristy did a very nice job with our cat. This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we were very pleased with the amount of attention she paid to him. Will definitely call her again.”

About: Hey there, I'm Megan! My very first experience with dogs began back in 7th grade - my family brought home my first dog, a German Shepherd. I had been designated as the trainer of the new puppy, but none of us knew what we were in for. Ellie, my GSD, developed fear-reactivity to just about everything. I started working closely with a professional trainer, Nikki Welch (Dream Dogs Training). Ellie sent me headfirst into the world of dog training, reactivity, and aggression, which very quickly became a thrilling new interest. I started working for Nikki during the summers, first running play groups during playcare and eventually training puppies. Working under Nikki provided me extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, from puppies to adults, toy Poodles to German Shepherds, performing a vast array of tasks. Additionally, I spent two weeks in January 2023 interning at A Pleasant Dog, honing my skills with reactive dogs and furthering my knowledge about training dogs with positive and ethical methods. Most recently, I attended Chicken Camp in June 2025 through Teamworks Dog Training in North Carolina. It was an amazing experience working with a completely different species; I strongly improved my training skills by putting my previous experiences into practice and learning new methods. Discussing a wide variety of training topics with experts like Michele Godlevski (Teamworks Dog Training) and Lisa Triggs (Alliance Animal Training) opened the door for me to learn more about cooperative care, positive reinforcement training, behavior modification, and dog sports on a deeper level, while simultaneously enhancing my professional communication skills. I am comfortable working through any anxieties your dog might have -- yes, that includes reactivity! -- and would be happy to answer any questions I can about your dog's training and/or behavior. Spending time with dogs and getting to know each individual is a treat, and I look forward to meeting your special pup! I'm a local college student, so my schedule varies each weekday. Starting Jan. 12, I will typically be available for drop-ins and walks Mondays before 10am and after 4pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4:30pm, Wednesdays before 10am and after 3pm, and Fridays 8am-5pm. Weekends vary, but generally I am able to take requests after 2pm Saturdays and before 5pm Sundays. Feel free to send me a message to ask for specific availability! I'm very familiar with the Grand Rapids area, local walking paths, and parks. My experience working with reactive dogs has made me very confident in my ability to be aware of my surroundings and keep your pup safe, whether on a walk or hanging out in the backyard.

“Great service as always !”

“Emily was great with our Golden Retriever. My boyfriend and I work nights at the hospital, so we needed to find someone to let her out while we are at work. You can tell she loves animals and you can trust her with your pet. Thanks Emily!”
