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.
“Deanna was the best Rover we have ever used! She took such good care of Koda and P and really made it easy for us to not worry while we were away on vacation. She took took great update pictures and detailed every drop in. She even vacuumed our carpet and swept our floors to clean up. We definitely recommend using her and will be reaching out to her whenever we need our future Rover!”

I currently work full time in office Monday-Wednesday. I work from home Thursday and Fridays so I have lots of flexibility. I’m free most weekends. I am very attentive to your dog’s needs. Any special requests for your dog I can do and make them feel confortable in their home.

About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was young. Family and neighbors have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. Now I enjoy dog sitting in my free time. I have experience hosting pets and also house sitting. Also, I grew up with a small dog who is now 13!! I am currently working full time during the week. I have availability before 7:30am and after 5pm on the week days. I am available most weekends. Scheduling can be discussed further once we book! I live in a small apartment, so I am primarily looking to host smaller pups. I am comfortable with feeding pets of all sizes, provided proper portion sizes are given. I am also comfortable taking your pets on walks and to the dog park if that is in their routine.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 18, since I have dog sat for other dogs and done check ins for friends elderly dogs and taken many on walks I can do drop ins before 9 and after 4:30 on the weekdays. Weekends can be hit or miss but am willing to work something out if needed! Unfortunately bringing your pets to my home is not really an option due to my lease, but I should be able to come to you!

Black Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenn took excellent care of our two middle-aged female cats, both of whom tend to have issues with strangers. (One hides, the other scratches without provocation.) Jenn handled both of them expertly and kept us up-to-date during our 8-day vacation with brief reports and photos twice a day. We would recommend Jenn’s services to any responsible pet owner.
Elizabeth did a great job checking in our dogs. We have an older one that has been placed on new meds that needs to be let out and a younger one that has a lot more energy. She communicated very well and provided really nice updates! I highly recommend!
Great communication and sitter. We were so relieved while on our trip to leave our puppy in her care. Always thorough and sent photos each drop in. Would definitely book again!
Kate did a great job with our dog. We appreciate her time and sending pictures. I look forward to using her again soon!
Lauren was super responsive and really helped me out when I couldn’t take care of my brothers dogs. Highly recommend!
Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.
We love Alli! She's reliable, caring and a great communicator. Our cat is often aloof to new people but loved her from the get go... and we all know pets are the best judges of character. :)
Hank had the best time with Josie! Josie was very communicative which I greatly appreciate and coming home to a non-stressed dog is the best. I will definitely use her again in the future 🥰
Abbie takes great care of my puppy! She is so personable and you can tell that she loves animals. 10/10 would recommend her to all! I love the pictures and updates she gives as well while I’m at work.
Was extremely flexible and willing to work with my reactive, high-anxiety dog to build trust before house-sitting. Thanks again!
Rebecca was amazing! Super communicative and kept me updated all week with how my cat was doing, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares and went above and beyond. I'll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend.
Our dog, Penny is an anxious rescue dog. She’s not an easy pup to work with because she’ll freeze with anxiety or avoid you until she’s comfortable. She immediately liked Hannah and we felt that Hannah could use her good judgment in any situation that might arise. I feel so fortunate to have found Hannah. We will definitely rely on Hannah in the future.
Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!
Sarah is wonderful! Responsive and enthusiastic! I felt great knowing she was going to take care of my dogs.
Brittany was really flexible with time changes. She checked in during her visit about Niko just chilling but once she found the frisbee he found a new friend.
Jacqueline was awesome and took great care of my kitty (and my plants and garden, too)! She's wonderful and we'll definitely continue to book her! :-)
Breanna really helped me out last minute! She took great care of my boy - sent plenty of pictures and even administered an oral medication! Thank you so much for everything.
Five stars just isn’t enough!! Thank you for putting up with our weird little guy and his love of feet! What a creepy critter!!
