House Sitting in Colony Farm, Kalamazoo, MI

“Our pups love when Theresa comes to stay, but we love the peace of mind that we have when she’s watching them while we’re away. She is able to accommodate both of our dogs meds, walk schedules, and food schedules while also providing lots of love. Theresa is always just a message away and sends lots of pictures. Our house is always left list as clean as when she got there, and she has even received a package for us while we were away. We feel safe leaving our pups, and our house in Theresa’a capable hands. We will continue to ask for Theresa every time we need help with the dogs.”

“Meredith is an enthusiastic dog lover! She plays with, feeds, walks, cleans up after, and snuggles with her own dog as well as her neighbors and uncles dogs. She is a freshman in college and is very smart, punctual, and organized. You and your dog(s) will love her!”

“El is awesome and was available last minute, which helped me a lot. She’s very friendly and pays attention to detail. She communicates well. Aria loved her!”

“Jackie was amazing with our dog, Teddy. She kept us updated as much as we asked, she was easy to communicate with, and best of all, Teddy seemed to really love her! She has a natural connection with animals and does an excellent job with their care. We will definitely be having Jackie dog sit for us in the future.”

“This was our first experience with Rover.com and Drew. Everything went extremely well. Drew was excellent with the dogs, and was very good at following their complicated schedule for feeding and medications. He even did a great job with the birds which I believe was a first for him. Drew's demeanor with the animals and pleasant personality put us right at ease with having him care for our dogs and stay at the house. We highly recommend both Rover.com and Drew.”

“Kathy was incredible. She was patient with our two dogs that have different needs. Lilly is an elderly dog, and Sam is an anxious little guy. Kathy went above and beyond, giving both the extra attention that they needed. She sent me several updates each day with pictures. Anyone would be lucky to have Kathy care for their pets!”

“Christie continues to impress - she takes such care with our dogs that she really does now feel like family. I have zero concerns about her ability to manage anything that comes up - or provide the required number of cuddles for our very spoiled poodles!”

“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”

“Lizzie was amazing!! She stayed at our house with our 2 labs for 11 days while we went out of the country. She would send pictures about every day and was great at communicating. It’s always nice to have your dogs in the comfort of their own house. When I got back she had the house cleaned and washed her own bedding, which she didn’t need to but I know I would have done the same. I will definitely use her again.”

“Cat took wonderful care of our dogs- very attentive and gave us updates while we were out of town. Left the house in great shape and even took our recycle and trash out. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve always known Shannon to be an individual that displays great care for others. I have full confidence in her ability to care for animals. I would trust her with the care of my pets.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I also volunteer at the SPCA of Southwest Michigan. I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments! I have experience in dog and cat training, and I utilize operant conditioning (positive reinforcement) to help your pet learn your expectations! I am currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pet! I am very flexible and accommodating in terms of my schedule. I am happy to care for pets in any kind of home (house or apartment) with or without a fenced in yard. I am comfortable working with dogs on and off leash depending on your preference.

“Mallory did a great job with our puppy and kitties! This was the longest we had left our puppy and she did a great job communicating with us! Would use her again!”

“Cherokee was extremely communicative and easy to work with. One of my special needs dogs was having a bad night and refused to interact. Cherokee kept me aware of the situation and was even able to eventually coax Astrid out with what must have been extreme patience. My other dogs were tired out and we came home to a neat place with no accidents.”

“Delaney was very professional and sweet. She took very good care our our 2 small dogs and 1 cat. She arrived on time and even sent us a picture with our dogs on her lap! We love our pets and she did a great job. I would hire her again!! Thank you SO much!!”

“Anna was fantastic! She is so sweet and won my anxious pup over. Will definitely use her again!”

“Devon is wonderful! We rescued a dog who is very nervous of people and Devon has such a calm energy that our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Devon was great to communicate with and sent us picture during her stay.”

“Amor is a nightmare of a dog with so much energy and no manners! But she absolutely adores Reed and Natalie.. and seems to be one of the only times she calms down and behaves herself. 10000000% recommend them to anyone who needs their pets looked after!”

About: I've had different kinds of pets since I was 8. I have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles. I always have a thing when it comes to animals, I really enjoy their presence. I'm very playful with animals and I always make sure that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy being around me. I am currently a full time student. If you need me on weekdays please let me know because I have different schedules each day. Notes: I am pretty much available for the summer! My apartment is pet friendly. There's a big field next to my apartment. There is a lot of puppies in my neighborhood so your dog won't ever get lonely. There's also dog waste bags everywhere near my apartment, so your dog can potty anywhere. For cats, I have cat toys in my apartment because I have 2 cats but they currently live at my parents house, for potty I might have to buy the sand or if you could provide one that would be awesome!

“Mya was great! She was communicative and so nice! She did an amazing job with my pup and I felt confident leaving him in her care. She sent pictures and updates, and I comfortable that she was providing my pup the best care. Highly recommend!!”
