House Sitting in Beechwood

“Bel showed up before I left. My dogs were so excited to see her! She kept me updated over the weekend with text messages and pictures of them letting me know it was going well. Thanks Bel! I knew they were in good hands with you!”

Delyne S.

“Kira is wonderful with pets and very reliable. She stayed with my dog while I was on vacation and cared for him as if he were her own. Before we left she came over and asked many good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for him. She is a great communicator and I knew the whole trip that my dog was having a good time from the pictures she sent. I look forward to having Kira dog sit again in the future!”

Maggie D.

“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and was even flexible when our times changed.”

Rachel K.

“Kate is very conscientious and dependable. I’ve booked her in the past and will hire her any time I need a sitter for my two senior cats. They’re very shy, but she was able to draw them out for pets and attention. They love her!”

Melissa F.

“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”

Kirsten P.

“Hannah was a fantastic dog sitter and house sitter! She sent pictures daily and managed my two crazy pups so well! You could tell she was thoughtful and caring by the way she communicated and her concern about the dogs and our arrival time after a long flight. I highly recommend her even though I would secretly like to keep her all to myself. Did I mention the pound cake that awaited us at home?”

K. M.

“Amanda did a wonderful job watching our home and our Sammy! This is the first time we’ve left him with anyone-and it was a great relief to see that he was absolutely fine and got loads of attention. We will definitely book Amanda again ?”

Judy T.

“Spencer did a great job. We appreciated the photos and communication. And very importantly, he didn’t just house sit our dog. He engaged with Bernadette and spent quality time with her.”

About: I provide an in-home pet care experience for families with dogs, cats, and other pets. I started offering services professionally in 2016, through word-of-mouth, while located in Grand Rapids. On a personal level, our family included both dogs and cats while raising our children, and I grew up in a family with dogs and cats as well. I joined Rover to help me connect with pet families upon moving to a new location. My schedule will revolve around your fur babies while I'm caring for them. I am a former dog and cat owner, and I want your pets to feel comfortable and have fun while you are away. I currently work from home (or anywhere) part-time so have the flexibility to prioritize your pets' care. I provide attentive care in your home, allowing your pets to stay in familiar surroundings. I love walking dogs around the neighborhood or to nearby parks for daily exercise. At home I'll provide snuggles and love between feedings. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I might watch for.

“Our first time ever using Rover or a pup sitter. Great communication, punctual, sweet, Whiskie was happy to have her in our home. We will be using Sydney again soon.”

About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.

“Melissa was amazing with our two dogs starting with her initial meet and greet to her overnight stay. Melissa is a great communicator, kind, polite, friendly and loves animals. She bonded with both of our dogs and treated them like her own which made us feel very comfortable and happy to go away and have fun without worrying about their care. We will definitely be repeat clients.”

“Katherine was great! She took such great care of our pups while we were gone! We lost power and she handed it so professionally and kept us updated!”

Katie E.

“Michael was great with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. They are both fairly high energy and one can be a little standoffish, but it wasn’t an issue at all. He took the time during our meet and greet for the dogs to get comfortable with him and we couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be using him again in the future!”

I always remain attentful of pets individual needs to make sure they're safe, comfortable, and happy.

Please let me know if you have any specific concerns with your pet's wellbeing while you're away. I want you to rest easy and feel reassured that your pet is receiving the highest level of care.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have fallen in love with dog sitting throughout my four years in college. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routines and provide attentive care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or administering basic care, I always treat every pet like my own! I just graduated from Hope College and have the summer off before heading to grad school in August, so I have open availability to care for your pets! I am a responsible, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter who always prioritizes safety and comfort. I respect clients’ homes by keeping spaces clean, communicating clearly, and I will always leave your home cleaner than when I arrived.

About: *TEMPORARY PAUSE ON BOARDING & DAYCARE* I am now offering drop in visits and sitting in your home as an alternative option 😊 Hello! If you are in search of someone with a vast knowledge, has experience with all breeds/sizes, and the highest quality of care, look no further! My knowledge extends from health, diet, exercise, enrichment activities, light grooming, and training for your dog. My experience consists of: 7 years of dog handling and care of all different breeds/sizes Knowing dogs 101/201 on dog behaviorial courses Pack pro dog training courses on dog language and group management Leerburg training courses Previous employment at 3 dog facilities as a trainer, kennel lead, assistant, and 1 facility as a vet tech. Previous assistant for puppy kindergarten classes The Ultimate Canine Communication Master Class TWC-The Cornerstone Collection Seminars to continue education We live in rural Hudsonville on a dirt road. It's quiet with lots of nature. There's a fenced in yard with ease of access from the slider door. We plan to buy the property from family that we currently live with. There's two acres out back we plan to fence in for the pups who love to run. I do this full time so I'm very flexible and attentive towards every individual pup and allows for balanced play. Each dog that I take in is based off the dogs I will have in house at the time. So the capacity varies but typically stays around 3-6 pups on average. Dogs often learn bad behaviors from one another and make up their own rules during play. I take a different approach to this. I'm careful about which personalities I place together to bring out the best in every dog during play sessions and advocate for the ones who are more of a wallflower. *IMPORTANT IMFORMATION* I only take in puppies that are up to date on their first year of vaccines. This includes: Bordetella Distemper Rabies Negative fecal check (I do accept titer tests for +1 year old pups) 🐕‍🦺 TRAINING: Some of the behaviors I work on include: resource guarding, jumping, leash pulling, fear related sensory stimuli, hyperactivity, barking, proper dog play/interactions, chasing fast moving objects/high prey drive...etc. I'm more than willing to go over any more information on what I offer if interested. They are supervised throughout the day. If your pup is in my care, I treat them as they are my own. The care I offer is much more than just watching your fur baby. I pay close attention to behavior, eating habits, coat maintenance, anxiety, health etc. I typically feed in crates, so they can eat without being bothered. I let them rest for up to an hour, (especially large breeds) after each meal as a precautionary measure to avoid bloat. I send updates with pictures and videos when watching your pup, so you can see what they have been up to. I have plenty of crates of all sizes, so no need to bring any from home. If they aren't crate trained at night, that's not a problem. I do allow dogs to free roam at night as long as they aren't destructive and I can trust them on their own. I have vet grade cleaner on hand for toys, water dishes and disinfecting. I take health extremely serious, so I have a vast amount of first aid supplies, cones, pharmaciticals and ID on hand. If you have any other concerns or needs I'm more than happy to address those as well.

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.
