House Sitting in Borculo

“Madison was awesome. My original dog sitter (aka my brother) bailed on me last minute before a long trip away and she was happy to help last minute. She stayed a couple of nights at my apartment, took great care of it and more importantly, my dogs, and even helped prep my dogs to be picked up by my dad. She was very kind and had excellent communication.”

“Brandi did a wonderful job house sitting. Our girls were well cared for, the house looked great when we got home, and she was happy to help out. We will look to have her back for our next trip!”

“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.

“Amanda is such a kind individual and has had so much patience sitting with our 2 yo GSP. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Amanda manages to provide a calming environment for our dog so she can eventually relax and be at ease. During her stay, she sent us multiple updates with photo’s throughout the day which also helped ease our minds while we were away. It might have been an anxious start to our dogs day, but by the end of the day she was cuddled up on the couch by Amanda ☺️ We will definitely be booking with Amanda again! Highly recommend.”

“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!”

Ashley T.

“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.

“Allison was great with the dogs!! 10/10 recommend again.”

“Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).”

About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!

“Highly recommend Sarah! She watched both of our dogs at our house over the weekend, and we were very happy with the whole experience. One dog needs meds, and the other is a puppy. I never worried about them in her care.”

Karen B.

“So grateful for Elise. Our dog got sick the day we left for a trip and she went out of her way to cook and care for him. So lucky we had her!”

Angela S.

“Very attentive and great with our pups! We had no worries or concerns with her housesitting for us while we were out of town! Will definitely be contacting her again!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I’m patient, attentive, and I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet! I work part time and have a hybrid school schedule, this gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I keep an active lifestyle which means lots of walks and playtime for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

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’ve had animals all my life and hold a special place in my heart for them all! My family has rescued dogs small and large as well as a cat. I’m am currently graduating in May and will be pursing a masters online with that being said I have a lot of flexibility to work with you and your fur baby :) With experiance my own pups I will care for them as if they were my own. I have had larger breed rescues and smaller dogs as well as a cat in my household.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs including sitting for the same families for 2+ years. I am genuine and will care for your pets like they are mine. I am a college student with mostly online classes, this allows for a lot of availability for house and pet sitting. I have a part time job as well but this shouldn’t interfere with my ability to care for your pet. I care for pets the same way I care for my own pets. I like schedules and will stick to them to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

About: I have been taking care of pets for 2 years now, no matter what age or if they need extra care, they will be well loved!! I work full-time and if close enough from work, I can let them out at noon! I love all animals. They will be loved a lot! I always stay at peoples houses, I listen carefully to instructions and I love to go on walks. I will feed them and give them water!

“So great! Courtney watched our 2 dogs and 3 cats for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She was so flexible with the timeline and did such a great job and sent us plenty of updates along the way! Took the puppies out for treats and adventures many times! Would definitely trust her with our home/pets again :)”

“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: 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.
