About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.

“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 ❤️❤️”


“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”


“Kasidee did great. She was able to take a last minute booking that really saved the day. Very communicative and took great care of the animals/house. Would definitely hire again!”


“Anna was fantastic! Such a reliable, responsible and caring sitter. My dog had an amazing week with her. She provided timely updates, photos and was the perfect host for my dog. She took my dog on walks and had play dates with her dog! It makes being away so easy when you know your pet is in great hands! I would 100% recommend Anna and will be using her again! A+”


“Amazing. Will definitely be rebooking.”


“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alli went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, keeping our pup engaged with new tricks and games, and clearly giving him so much love and attention. Hunzi was happy, relaxed, and mentally stimulated the entire time. It was such a relief knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely book with her again!”


“Carolyn took wonderful care of our old boy, Teddy. She was an excellent communicator! We especially appreciated her attentiveness to Teddy's medication schedule. We will definitely invite Carolyn back! Highly recommend!”


“Avery was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our sweet babies while we were away, and both our animals LOVED HER! She was so attentive, sent lots of updates and checked in often! She took our pup on adventures, lots of walks, and didn’t bat an eye at the overly detailed and over the top instructions we left her with for their care! We are so thankful to have found her, and will absolutely be asking her to watch them going forward!”

Eastgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kasidee was amazing! We were very nervous to leave our newly adopted dog with separation anxiety for the weekend, but we would rebook with Kasidee in a heartbeat! She handled our dog SO well, and she was on top of his multiple medications a day. We received multiple updates and very cute photos to ease our worries :) Bonus: we came home to a spotless house. I would recommend Kasidee to all our friends and family!

Sarah is super diligent and responsible! My dog is very fearful of people, but loves her! Would recommend and re-book a million times!

This was our second time booking with Madison, amd our first overnight trip. She was extremely adaptable with our last minute changes due to weather and took great care of our pets and home. Will absolutely be booking again!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alli went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, keeping our pup engaged with new tricks and games, and clearly giving him so much love and attention. Hunzi was happy, relaxed, and mentally stimulated the entire time. It was such a relief knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely book with her again!

Mary was wonderful! Constant communication and updates, pics to show us how much fun the pups were having, and just taking such wonderful care of our senior pups. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!!

Meghan did a great job watching Sparty while we were away. She is very communicative and always on time, which we appreciate! We would highly recommend her!

Maelee did a great job staying with our cat and dog while we were out of town for a few days. She was very communicative and made sure to understand all their special needs. I look forward to booking with her again.

Hannah is so sweet to our Duke while staying with him at our home for a long weekend. She is communicative, rolled with any changes and last minute requests and our house looked the same as when we left it. Duke had his normal schedule and was relaxed and happy when we returned. Can’t recommend Hannah enough!

Tia took great care of our Great Dane and two cats while we were on a 10 day vacation. She was respectful of our house and kept it neat. Would absolutely recommend her!

Allison had great communication and sent us updates with pictures while we were away. She even worked on training with our pup and left the apartment nice and clean. Our dog is weary of new people but he warmed up to Allison easily.

Fabulous care of Max, as always. I will continue to book Kate as she sends lots of updates, leaves the place spotless and Max enjoys her visits.

Emma was incredible! She stayed at our home with our pups for 2 1/2 weeks while we were out of the country. She provided great updates, kept our place tidy, and clearly took wonderful care of our dogs. Expectations were exceeded!

Rebecca was great and so communicative. I could tell that my babies were happy and cared for well when I returned! Would definitely book with her again :)

Kiah is always super responsive and has taken over for last minute requests multiple times. She loves our pets and does such a great job hanging out with them, and we always come home to the house clean. She does a great job communicating and is flexible with our schedule. We always call her back when we need someone!

Meghan did great watching our two dogs while we were out for a week. This was the first time they had a relative stranger watch them while we were out and everything went smooth. They can be quite a handful, but there was no troubles

Took great care of my Boys and made sure they had all their meds and treats! Would definitely book again, dogs seemed very happy and taken care of after my vacation!

Claire has watched our anxious pup many times and she always goes out of her way to make sure she feels safe and has a great time!

Lidia was wonderful she asked questions when needed before she watched him. She sent videos and photos. I would definitely use her again!
