About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.

“I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“If I could give Ariel 10 stars, I would! We booked a last minute vacation, and Ariel agreed on short notice to drop in twice daily on our cat. Super responsive, dependable, and easy to communicate with! Ariel went above and beyond, and she also checked on a few minor household items. Our cat is super social and needs lots of love and attention! He cozied right up to Ariel. She provided him lots of playtime and showed up for every visit on time.”
“Kris took excellent care of my cat! She is on the shyer side but warmed up to Kris quickly. Kris sent lots of pictures which is wonderful since I miss my cat a lot when I’m away. I wasn’t sure exactly what time I would be back for my trip but she was able to be flexible. You couldn’t find a kinder person to take care of your pet!”
“Amanda did a stellar job with my two cats! She sent videos of them playing and made sure they got all of their meals on time. They looked super comfortable with her and I’m really happy with how this stay went.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I love to make pets feel comfortable while their loved ones are away! I am reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I have a flexible schedule and a passion to allow for time during the day to take your pet for walks, play, and feed them. Ask me about my new client discount! You can count on me to provide frequent updates, photos, and open communication. I believe that building trust is the foundation for great pet care.
“Katy was the perfect sitter to drop in on our sweet kitty while we were away. Our shy Gizmo opened up and enjoyed playing and snuggling with her. Katy accommodated all of Gizmo’s needs, including giving her medication. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we travel!”

East Grand Rapids cat parents share their Rover experiences
I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
She is absolutely amazing, my cats loved her. She fed them, and played with them. It is really nice to have a caretaker for the cats that treat them like they matter. Cats have a 6th sense about people and they took to her right away. I would definitely have her take care of my pets again.
This was my first time and I wanted to meet before leaving the state, McKenzie was willing to make time the day of her family Christmas gathering for me, her willingness reflected she takes the job seriously. Since I had a prior sitter cancel last minute I was very grateful McKenzie was reliable!
First time, Sierra was great, especially that she made time to meet me before Christmas to get acquainted. Because I was going out of state, I was so grateful there was no cancellation! Her notes showed warmth, that she enjoys her job, and she texted questions on a task that was unclear to make sure she got everything right. Glad to have a reliable sitter!
