About: All three of our animals are besties and our whole world. My husband and I have had pets my entire life :) my husband and I work together to take the best care of your animals in our home or yours! Currently my husband and I work opposite schedule, someone is often home with the animals. If not, we will confirm you are comfortable with the duration we leave (if care is in our own home). I will care for your pet in any way that is needed or requested! We give lots of attention and care because we know that pets can be uncomfortable in a new environment or with a new person! We want your pet to be comfortable in any space!

“Katrina agreed to care for Coco last minute. Her usual caretaker could not do the job any longer. I had given the job to another person on Rover and they cancelled. Katrina came over for a meet n greet and walk to get to know Coco. She followed the directions given very well and I loved the pictures. Coco seemed to really love her and she was well taken care of. When coco was having problems sleeping Katrina added an additional daily walk and it really helped her. I would definitely tell others to use Katrina.”

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

“Kevin took excellent care of our furbabies while we were on vacation! Punctual, communicative, and shared photos and details of his visits that helped us feel confident that our girls were in good hands. Will use Kevin for pet care services in the future.”

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up helping my great-grandma on her farm with training Border Collies, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and building trust with dogs. I’ve also trained my own service dog and currently share my home with three dogs, including a puppy. In addition to my dogs, I care for a special-needs cat, two rabbits, 15 rats, and a betta fish. Caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs has taught me to be attentive, adaptable, and respectful of each animal as an individual. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower-paced stroll, extra patience, or simply some companionship, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, so my weekday availability is primarily before or after work, depending on the service and location. I have full availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m currently taking on extra work to help save for my dog’s upcoming surgery, so I’m excited to provide dependable, caring service while working toward an important goal for my family. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including training my own service dog and raising a puppy. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, triggers, boundaries, and individual needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, access to your home, and any special care your pet requires. I’m also comfortable caring for animals with different needs, thanks to my experience with my own dogs, a special-needs cat, rabbits, rats, and fish. I believe good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll keep you informed about how your pet is doing and will reach out promptly if I notice anything unusual or have concerns.

About: I understand your pet is important to you. I will treat your pet as my own, offering engagement, play time, enrichment activities and a peace of mind. I train my own dog for obedience competitions, and I know he is happy when his tail wags. I have learned how to read a dogs behavior and go out of my way to ensure they are living their best life. Each dog that books a service will receive a complimentary gift bag of treats! Someone is home all day. I work near my home, I have flexibility allowing me to come home when needed. Your pup will have a plenty of toys and puzzles to stay busy. I have a kennel area for potty (so it's not all over the yard). Dogs are let out on a long line (33ft) as we wait for our fence to be put up. We are very intentional about how we care for dogs and we have found, dogs don't mind the long line since they still get to run their tails off! There are young children who are excited about dogs who love meeting new dogs. The children in my home are familiar with my standards of pet care, and know what it means to respect a dog. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs who are dog neutral. My youngest dog is being trained for competitive obedience, one who recently retired and one who retired 2 years ago and works as a therapy dog as well as demonstration dog. He helps many dogs overcome their obstacles to becoming the well mannered pet many families crave. He is a gentle giant, I've learned much from him. He is always happy to see another dog, and understands respectful greetings, he is mild mannered and loves to play when released to do so. I am a runner, so if you are interested in a daily run for your pet during their stay, please notify me of this. My life is built around caring for pets. This was done intentionally and I am grateful for the opportunity to have your dog in my care. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. They are care for as my own. Each dog will be sent home with a treat bag made from single ingredient treats that we make.

About: Currently I live with 2 cats, one mine and one my housemates. I love them both dearly and love taking care if them. Cleaning litter boxes is a daily pattern and I am also have administered meds to the cats and to my parents dogs. I grew up with a lot if animals, and have had a lot of experience with dogs and oral medications. My parents dog Mater is also paralyzed and I have often helped with his meds and changing his diaper. All in all I am a huge animal lover and cant wait to take care of your pets. I live with 3 girls and two cats (one is mine). Cleaning the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they do not knock stuff over, and cuddling with them is a daily pattern. I love them both to death. I care for my pets with tremendous love and care and I will do the same to all the pets that I will take care of.

“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”

“Jessica gave my cats their medicine and hung out with them each evening when I was in Florida. Both the cats liked her, even my very shy cat. She passed zero judgement on my messy house. My cats felt safe with her and she did a great job! Highly recommend.”

“Willa loves Hanna! She is great at asking questions to make sure your pet has everything he/she needs and is such a sweet person! I recommend Hanna to everyone!”

About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (27 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: Hello! I’m Hill, I have been a Rover sitter since 2024. I have clientele outside of Rover for various tasks/pet&house sitting). During the daytime I work with special needs adults which gives me the flexibility and freedom to put your pet first during your time away. When I’m not dog sitting or working with my clients I’m working on my degree (Mechanical Engineering). I hope to make a difference in the lives of the disabled/ special needs community as an engineer. Rover only lets me put 10 photos, I wish I could show ALL of the sweet pets I’ve spent time with, but I hope you love the pictures. I do not board pets in my home as that is my twin cats domain, I’m happy to set up a meet and greet if you find yourself in need of a trustworthy and reliable sitter. 🩷🦮💜🐩💙🐕‍🦺🐾 I am available within Grand Rapids and surrounding areas daily and weekly.
