About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.

“Jaronsa was fantastic! I was desperate to find someone to watch my little pup, last minute and I’m lucky to have found Jaronsa! Pippa was well taken care of. She loved laying in the sunshine and liked that Jaronsa’s home had plenty of windows. Not to mention, she had the best yard ever! I will definitely reach out again when I am in town, looking for a sitter!”

“Jill has a wonderful play area and is very engaged with the dogs. Hershey played well with Sunny and definitely was ready to stay longer(a good sign).”

“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”

“We are so happy we found Frances on Rover! We were in Holland for work, and we didn’t feel comfortable leaving Piper in the hotel alone for long periods of time. Frances was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which made our week so easy! Piper had a blast there playing with other the dogs, which was apparent from the pictures we received at the end of each day. I would recommend Frances and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and flexible dog sitter!”

“Cooper had a great time with Jan and her dogs. It was his first time there and he immediately made himself at home in her garden. He had a nice walk and came home happy and tired.”

About: I grew up with a shetland sheepdog and medium haired house cat. As an adult I've walked large and small dogs of different breeds. I have boarded and pet sat at owners house with dogs that needed meds or had special needs. I currently work part-time Monday to Thursday. This leaves me with plenty of time to spend taking care of your dogs, whether walking or playing. I have a fenced yard and no animals of my own. If I need to crate (you have to supply) your dog, then my house has plenty of space.

“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”

About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina

About: Hi, I’m Rory. I’m a local Realtor, stepdad to three great kids, and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been a dog dad since I was 25, starting with a Newfoundland and now sharing a home with Lola, our 7-year-old Golden Retriever, and Tilly, our 8-month-old Cavapoo. Dogs have always been part of our family, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m active, enjoy walks, and love giving dogs the playtime, exercise, and companionship they need. I also volunteer in the community coaching football and basketball, so being dependable, patient, and attentive comes naturally to me. As a Realtor, I know trust and communication matter. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, respect your home, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. We build in regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals, and plenty of attention while keeping as close as possible to their normal routine. Your dog will be cared for in a loving family environment with two friendly dogs and three kids who truly love animals. Our home has plenty of space to relax and play, along with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor breaks. We make introductions slowly, supervise play, and can separate or crate dogs if needed. We will follow your feeding, medication, exercise, and house rules, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs since I was 14 years old. I have a Doberman now and went through all levels of dog training courses I just graduated from GVSU and I’m planning to travel end of August. I just want a part time job doing something I love until then. I will be respectful of your house and take care of your pet exactly how you would like. I love being around dogs and keeping them company.

About: Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic dogs who love adventure to cats who prefer a quiet companion, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is simple: give your pets the attention, care, and peace of mind they deserve while you’re gone. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. Because pet care is one of my primary focuses, I’m able to provide reliable communication, consistent care, and accommodate many last-minute requests when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extended care, I strive to be available when you need me most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my time with them so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities.
