“Jasmine is wonderful and highly recommended. My puppy Teddy has adopted her as one of his people. My shy guy doesn't quickly adapt to many humans but he looks forward to Jasmine's visits each week. 5 Stars for sure!”
“Tyler took such great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend, including their strict and time-consuming feeding schedule. He is definitely the type of person that animals adore! Our oldest cat tends to be very shy and always hides from new people, but he warmed up to Tyler immediately- no hiding at all! Tyler consistently had a quick response time and sent plenty of pictures throughout our entire trip. This gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so relieved to have found great pet care! Tyler is the best!”
“Our German Shepherd loves Kelsey! Anytime I’m out of town for work she lets him out for potty and play. I love getting photos and she is always responsive and on time. Thanks Kelsey!”
“Brain was great with our medically fragile and slightly grumpy cat. He was quick to communicate and was competent in finding ways to get around our cats demeanor. He did what he needed to do to keep her safe and did everything he could to also make her feel as comfortable and taken care of as possible. He was great and we will definitely be using him again to care for our kitty.”
“I’m so thankful for the love & care that Suzanne and her kids gave my kitten. He got sick the night before I left and she really helped me out by giving him his needed meds while I was gone. I’m sure my kitten enjoyed all of the play time with her kids! Highly recommend them.”
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!
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“Kate is amazing. After a few bad experiences with rover, Kate immediately put my worries to rest. She was on time and was great at communicating with me. I came home to one very happy puppy :) thanks Kate!!”
“The dictionary defines the word remarkable as, worthy of being or likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary. However Willow and I define it as Katherine. She is good with keeping you updated, time management of walk to playtime, and her pictures of your pup will leave you with a smile!!”
“James is great with our dog Brody. Brody can be a lot to handle and I appreciate his mastery when it comes to caring for him. Brody looks so happy in all the pictures that James has shared. I’m very grateful for his help while I’ve been away!”
“Kaitlyn had great communication ahead of her visit and helped both pups avoid any accidents in the apartment. I appreciate that she spent time playing with them and sent cute pictures.”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the pet’s family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.
“Molly did an awesome job watching Ivy! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Looking forward to having her back in the future for more drop ins ?”
“Maelee was amazing! First time using Rover and I was impressed how thorough and thoughtful Maelee was caring for my dog. She was super punctual during her timed visits, always provided pictures of my dog consistently and communicated very well during her visits. I HIGHLY recommend Maelee to care for your pets!!!!!”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”
“Holly was awesome with Luna and helped me out on short notice! She was reliable and provided me with great updates so I knew my fur baby was doing OK while I was away.”
“Lauren was a great help with my last minute booking! She was very accommodating and followed all my instructions. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Sara was very professional - she let us know when she was arriving and leaving and sent pictures and documentation of each visit. She let us know that our cat was doing well and happy to see her. She is friendly and responsive.”

East Grand Rapids cat parents share their Rover experiences
Molly was great! She communicated very clearly and even double-checked the window of time I requested for her visits, which involved medication. I had inadvertently mentioned two different arrival times, which were close but not the same. Another person could have thought, "Oh, I'll just go at such and such a time. Close enough." But Molly took the time to reach out and double-check. I appreciated that. When visiting cat, did everything just right! I recommend Molly!! 😊
We had a great experience with Beth! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Apollo, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions. The updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and we knew Apollo was in great hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)
Natalie was a godsend! Our kitty is very shy and does not approach easily, but she took to Natalie right away. Natalie was also very communicative with sharing updates & photos, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend, and would gladly welcome her back.
I couldn't be happier with the condition I found my pets in after asking Tim to visit them in my house. Tim took good care of my pets, sitting with them and showing them affection after changing their litter and sweeping/taking out the trash each time. Tim is reliable and diligent, I can't recommend him enough.
