“Tatyana provides a loving environment for our dog, Jax. He seemed to want to stay with her rather than come home with me the other morning. I can’t thank her enough for providing her home for my incredibly hyper and anxious pup and still have wonderful things to say about him when I picked him up.”

“Molly was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog overnight. Her place is lovely and our dog was instantly comfortable. Her dog is very sweet and calm. Would book here 100% anytime we are in Grand Rapids!”

“This is the second time we’ve had our 2 pups stay with Jenn and she was AMAZING as always! Our pups were a little bit more work this stay and she was so patient, kind, and communicative throughout it all. I will always recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Pam is AMAZING!!! She is truly an animal lover and took such great care of our Puggy. Pam sent photos and videos throughout the day so that we could see how much fun our Pug was having with her and her dogs. Pam spent a lot of time with Puggy in her lap and also allowed him to snuggle up in bed while sleeping. What a blessing to have Pam so that when we travel we know our Puggy gets to have a wonderful vacation too! Pam is so sweet & so great about communicating. We give Pam the highest recommendation possible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++”

“Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!”

“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”

“Breslin had a wonderful time with Christina and Micheal! They provided consistent updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of our little guy having fun. They treated Breslin like one of their own and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks again!”


“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”

“Ruth took great care of my anxious Toy Aussie! She sent several photos and updates of my pup and made sure she was well taken care of. Ruth responded in a timely manner and the communication was easy. I would let my pup stay with Ruth again!”

“Renee was able to board our 2 bulldogs over the 4th holiday on short notice and we are so grateful! She has a fenced backyard, works from home and was able to spend quality time with them so they weren't lonely. They had such big smiles on their faces the whole time. Will definitely come back on our next trip!”

“Dan & Kelly are great with my dog, Henry! I appreciate the attention they give to him and I also think their house and backyard are a great space for dogs to have fun and be safe.”

“My cat, Winston, stayed at Suzanne’s for a week. He had a wonderful time! Suzanne sent daily updates with pictures. He received lots of love, attention, and play time with her kids. He had a separate room for himself with windows to the backyard. I highly recommend Suzanne and her kids!”

“My dog is often fairly aloof with strangers. But he bonded with Felix immediately upon meeting him! The big fenced yard was certainly a plus too. Felix sent me messages and pictures daily so that I knew they were having fun together. My dog got to enjoy long walks each day with the freedom to explore all the new smells along the way. I didn't worry or feel guilty leaving my dog behind because I knew he was happy in Felix's care!”

“This was our first time using Rover, so we did a meet and greet. Our dog took to Sarah right away, which put us at ease. She gave us updates and pictures during the stay which reassured us that our dog was being well cared for. We would definitely use Sarah in the future!”

“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently have a rescue that is a Cur/Dalmatian mix. I fostered a German Shepherd and just found him his forever home! My previous pup was a pure bred red-nose pit! I work from home so am available for all needs! And yes, my dog does sleep on my bed! Lots of outdoor toys to tire them out! I have a fenced in yard and a “puppy pool” for those hot days! I live in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent dog walking route, even have a neighbor who put out dog treats in a mailbox for frequent walkers!

Suzy took wonderful care of Misty! She was very reassuring and sent us updates while we were gone. She walked Misty every day and spent time with her in the yard. The personal attention was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be having her care for Misty again!

I can’t say enough about how great Tatyana was for my dog while I was away for a long weekend. I received constant updates about the fun my dog was having and lots and lots of pictures. As a dog owner it can be stressful at times finding a sitter last minute and Tatyana was a perfect find! Terrific communication the entire time and made it a stress free weekend for myself knowing that my dog was in great hands while I was away. She also was watching over others dogs along with mine and they all became best buds as well. Very comforting to know I can count on Tatyana whenever needed in the future. 6 stars if it were an option.

David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!

Lindsay did a great job taking care of our new puppy for a week! I appreciated her thoroughness in doing a meet & greet before accepting our reservation request to make sure her pup & ours would get along. She sent photos & videos updates & was a great communicator. Our dog is definitely a people person and we could tell he got a lot of attention & felt at home & loved in Lindsay's home. We'd definitely book again. Thank you Lindsay!

Haley was fantastic! She was super quick to respond both before we dropped off our dog and while we were away. Our pup, who normally is too anxious to eat while we are away from home, ate all his meals when he was with her which I think speaks volumes to how comfortable he felt! We highly recommend Haley!
