“Emily did a great job with our pets! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day. She was available on short notice to help us out with an unexpected last minute change of plans. Our timid Chihuahua mix took to her right away! She left no trace of her stay at our house except happy pups! Thank you!”
“Claire is kind, calming and loving towards Teddy. Only after a few hours he was very comfortable. I will continue to use Claire for all my house sitting needs. Thank you.”
“Chelsie took great care of our four cats! I think our youngest two cats want her back because they got lots of play time! She made sure to check our mail and keep it organized. We think our house may have been cleaner when we came home than when we left! We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our house and fur babies.”
“Jade was wonderful! She took care of my dog, horse, cows and chickens while we were gone. She gave Brody plenty of attention and went above and beyond taking care of my farm animals! She quickly assessed when my horse was limping and tended to his needs including giving medication and wrapping his leg. I came home to a very well kept home and happy animals. Definitely will be using her again in the future! Thank you Jade!”
“Fabulous sitter over 8 days and nights. Our dogs still miss her and she was able to wrangle 3 indoor/outdoor cats, in addition to being in charge of 9 horses! We highly recommend Eileen! Our home was in perfect condition, plus she did laundry (not required) She also updated us with daily photos✈️🏖️🌷”
“I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.”
“Fantastic as always- we added a puppy into the mix so Caroline stayed at our home and was wonderful with our dogs! The puppy LOVED and bonded with her dog Gator. Will def book with Caroline again”
“This was a great experience! Betsy was easy to work with, made herself available for a meet and greet prior to booking, and was very flexible with our changing plans. She provided status updates along with pictures, and made us feel comfortable that the dogs and our house were in good hands. We will definitely work with Betsy again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always done pet care on the side since high school. Im passionate about getting animals outside and moving! Im currently working a full time job Monday-Friday from 8-4. After work and every weekend I am free to provide care and fun for your pets! We have a large amount of land for your dog to play on! I am fit and active and am willing to take your dog on walks for as long as they need and want (with lots of sniff breaks)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.
About: Cats are great and I've had a lot of them they lived a happy life and grow old with me my baby kisses, ruby, snuggles, MJ R.I.P Daily I'm available any day and I'm always on time and understanding when it comes to anything that life throws my direction and it always works out. I care for other people's animals if they were my own with love and care and always play with them and build trusted and love them. I grow up on a ranch as a kid and had a lot of animals and took care of them all I'm great with animals.
“Mark is outstanding. Not only did he take great care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats, but he was an excellent communicator. He sent a full written report each day and sent so many pictures. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. He was very helpful when we almost missed our connecting flight and reassured me that he would be there for us if we did miss it. We travel a lot and I will never use another pet sitter if I can help it. Mark took care of my pets like I take care of them and that’s saying a lot bc I’m a bit crazy for my furbabies. Highly recommend!”
About: ♡pricing is flexable message me for details I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a self taught groomer! I will only be booking appointments on days that I can be fully present and involved with the pets scheduled. My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. * I am available for drop ins(potty breaks and walks) in the hudsonville-jenison area on Tuesdays and Thursdays aswell! There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Our yard is not fenced but we do have fenced in areas.Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 If your dog is medium-giant we prefer them to have a calm demeanor (couch potato) if not,but this is not a requirement 😉 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, race and draft horses, chickens, cows, rabbits, hamsters, guinea Pigs, goats, snakes, birds, llamas, a monkey and lots of other creatures. I’d love to be able to help with your pet care needs. House sitting includes: Staying in your home with your pets. This means there needs to be a clean bed or place to sleep. While your pets will be in my care I will still need to be able to accommodate other responsibilities. Your pets will not be left for more than 7hours at a time. If your pets require 100% around the clock care, I unfortunately will not be able to accommodate this. Meet and greets are required before booking starts. Thank you so much for your time. Im currently working part time in the Newaygo area and only accept house sittings. This helps allow me to concentrate on the animals I’m caring for. I love meeting new animals! I make sure to provide a safe environment where your animal will feel confident and less stressed. I have experience administering medications and very detailed feedings. I like to pay attention to the pets routine so that they can have a sense of comfort while you are away.
