House Sitting in East Grand Rapids

“I cannot say enough good things about Pamela. She's such a sweet kind and gentle person. She stayed with our two dogs while we were out of town and treated them like her own. Both of our dogs fell in love with her. ...And so did we!! She sends updates regularly and lots, lots of pictures of our pups, which we appreciated so, so much! We came home to a spotless house and very happy and calm puppies! We are so relieved we finally have a go to sitter for when we're out of town now ❤️❤️”

About: I've taken care of animals for the majority of my life and take pride in giving them the best. I've worked with canines, felines and exotics in the past at my previous jobs. I also worked at a vet clinic and cherished my time with pets and getting to know their owners. It would be my pleasure to offer my services for walks, drop ins and/or house sitting! Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have a few dates I'm booked for already but happy to work with you to get your pet(s) what they need. First and foremost, I want to make sure we are both on the same page for how your home works, what your pet needs and how I can make it the most enjoyable experience for all involved! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and the least stressed as possible while you're away. I will read your pet's body language, respect their wishes and make sure they're happy. ☺️

“Ricky was great! We have a large dog that gets meds and two very curious cats but none of it phased him. He made sure all were comfortable and occupied before leaving. We would definitely have him again!”

“Polina stayed in our home with our border collie mix, Willy, for 12 nights. We came home to a happy dog and found everything just as we had left it. Polina updated us with pictures giving us piece of mind that all was well at home. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently between jobs waiting for a seasonal position, so I am available anytime, other than the occasional appointment or vacation. Available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.

About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (25 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Went to Europe for almost two weeks and decided to give Rover a try for the first time - and I TOTALLY lucked out with Erin!! I ended up selecting her because in addition to the positive reviews, she seemed like she was great with cats. I left my two cats - and my home - in Erin’s care while I was abroad, which was a little bit scary for me, but Erin made me so comfortable. We met first, she spent lots of time getting used to the kitties’ habits, and she was so patient with them (they’re shy at first). Erin was friendly, flexible, and amazing with my kitties. I got updates every day including videos, and she took great care of my home. When I came back, the bowls were full, the litter was clean, and the cats were happy. Erin came every day, loved up on the kitties, and made sure the house was safe. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone who I can trust and finally can relax on my future trips knowing she is here and willing to help. I highly recommend booking with Erin, especially for first-time Rovers! Thank you for everything, Erin! I’ll be seeing you again! ?”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, of course, but I also have experience working in a vet clinic/boarding facility as a veterinary assistant. I have experience with most small animals (cats , dogs, and in between)! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to fit in walks and check-ins with your furry friends while you’re at work or out of town! I can’t wait to spend some time with them! I have offered in-home pet care for many friends and family over the years, given my experience working with animals. I am comfortable with dogs of all personality types and sizes, and will respect the owners wishes on what their restrictions and expectations are for each visit!

“Anna was great! She cared for our dog, gave detailed daily updates and sent lots of pictures. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Will be requesting another house sitting service soon!”

Chandler G.

“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”

Holly D.

“Zoe was a fantastic dog sitter and house sitter. She watched our 3 year old dog for 4 days and 3 nights. She took pics of our dog and sent them to us every day, she was great at keeping in touch and texted back right away any time I happened to contact her. Zoe”s attention to detail, positive attitude and love of animals were an added bonus. We can’t recommend Zoe enough and hope to use her again in the future!”

Meghan K.

“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”

Jennie H.

“We've booked Rachael before, and she's still our first ask for any trip we take. Buddy loves being with her, and we always come back to a clean house and a happy dog!”

Lauren R.

“Tori took care of my dog well. I would gladly utilize her help again!”

When caring at my clients home, it all just depends on your preference 🙂

“Katy was absolutely fabulous!! She took excellent care of our home and precious pups while we were out of town and we were so happy knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, thoughtful, and provided lots of updates and photos. It’s evident she has lots of experience with animals and we will absolutely reach out to Katy again for future pet services. Highly recommend!”

“Ariel was great with Myka and kept me updated, especially during the severe weather. Definitely had peace of mind knowing my girl was in good hands.”

“This was our first time using Rover or an in house sitter. We have anxiety about leaving our two dogs as one is old and clingy and the other can be difficult. Claire quickly but us at ease upon meeting here. She obviously has a love for and great sense of pet's needs and personalities. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Claire went over and above by bringing in delivered packages and doing laundry before she left. Most importantly....our Lucy and Chester had so much fun with her and we're well cared for!! We will definately be using Claire again in the future.”
