About: As the owner and sole proprietor of Cassidy's Priority Pet Care, I've had the pleasure of caring for animals of almost every kind. Growing up, I cherished my chocolate lab greyhound mix. Now, as a responsible pet owner, I have a rescue cat named Nemo and various small animals. Previously, I ran my own rattery, but unfortunately, due to the challenges posed by COVID, we had to cease operations. My cat enjoys a healthy diet of Purina One True Instinct dry cat food, occasional Whiskas treats, and other wet foods. The rats thrived in multiple-story Kaytee cages with a free roam space, nourishment, and dig boxes, and were fed a homemade mixture with a base of adult Oxbow rat food. Our two bunnies have a spacious outdoor hutch and indoor cages with premium-grade rabbit food, hay, and fresh salads, fruits, and vegetables for a well-rounded diet. I've always loved animals, I constantly joke I that I'd prefer animals company over peo(ple's any day of the week altho that statement might be truer a little everyday as someone who works in customer service. honestly though I've always found working with animals more then a passion but kinda a therapy for me and love to fill my free time with working with animals of all verity. As someone who loves animals I constantly strive to make sure that they're in a comfortable environment and mindset and always take in account the personality of the animals I'm working with to better handle each individual. When it comes to feeding time and or medication time I try my best to stay on a very strict schedule whether with my own animals or someone else's I make sure to put constant reminders on my phone to make sure that I keep to their regiment in order to keep them happy and healthy.
About: Iâve been responsible for friends and familyâs pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mixâs. The key is patience and thatâs one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I do work a part-time service job a couple days of the week in a restaurant right now as well. Aside from dog sitting that's what I do financially. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

Claire is hands down the best dog sitter weâve ever had. She always goes above and beyond and truly shows our pup the most love & care. I completely trust her with caring for our high needs pup and treats him like her own! She also communicates throughly & is very responsive during her visits, which we appreciate. Thank you Claire! :)

We absolutely loved having her care for our puppy, Oliver! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him during her drop-in visits. The updates and photos always made our day, and it was clear that Oliver was happy and comfortable with her. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!

I had a great experience with our McKenzie! She dropped in to spend time with my puppy Barrett, and it was clear right away how comfortable and natural she is with dogs. She gave my pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care, which made a big difference in keeping him happy and stimulated while we were away. She was reliable and communicative! The best Rover experience Iâve had. I had peace of mind knowing Barrett was in good hands. Iâll definitely be booking with her routinely again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.

Love at first sight! Xylo absolutely LOVED his walk with Natalie. She showed up on time and even brought him a lovely treat as an introduction. We look forward to using Natalie whenever we are unable to give Xylo a walk. Great communication and care. HIGHLY recommend!!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Grand Rapids choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
