“Kristopher and his family were so welcoming to Daryl, and there was a lovely dynamic among the dogs. They provided all Daryl’s favorite things: other dogs, family, and space to play. We had absolutely no qualms leaving him there. Communication with Kristopher was very easy. We will definitely reach out again!”


“Renee was great. Excellent communication in setting up the sit. Very personable and flexible. Chewie had a comfortable stay and we will definitely use Renee again!!”


“This was our first time leaving our dog (Fitz) with anyone, so wasn't sure how it was going to go. Joshua made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Fitz and updated us throughout the day!”


“Lindsay is wonderful! She helped organize a meet and greet with our pups so I felt more than comfortable leaving Kirk. Her communication is above and beyond. Kirk came home tired and that is exactly what we needed :)”


“I am so happy I found Pam here in Grand Rapids. I just moved here and needed to get my little guy set up with a doggie sitter. Pam has been wonderful letting Charlie come for two short visits to get comfortable before he stays for a week while I travel for work. Pam sent me regular updates on how Charlie was doing throughout his stays. Charlie has fit right in with the rest of her crew and came home happy has a clam after both stays. I have no doubt that he will be perfectly safe and happy while I am out of town!”


“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”


“Maggie was incredibly accommodating and patient with me and last minute request. My husky loved playing with her Luna, and I love the idea of her being in a home instead of a concrete kennel. I also liked that her sons gave my pets attention while they were there. 100% would recommend Maggie to anyone!”


“Marina came to my rescue after a last minute change of plans! I’ve worked with Marina before, and my dog absolutely loves her. It gives me such peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for while I’m at work.”


“Remi did a great job caring for Duckie! She had lots of updates and pictures. She took him on a long walk and gave him lots of snuggles. I will definitely be booking with Remi again:)”


“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”


“Raluca is amazing!!! She was so good with our dogs and she kept me informed throughout their stay. I can't say enough good things about her! I am so happy we found her.”


About: We have been with dogs and other animals our whole life and love dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Sami, is our fourth baby. Your pet will get the attention and safety he/she needs and will be treated no different than our own. Our work hours are flexible and we prioritize our walks with our pet so it will be the same as others. Sami gets 2 walks and 3-4 bathroom breaks per day We treat your home with the same care and respect as ours and will follow your instructions very closely as instructed. Typically, bathroom break between 3-4 hours and at least 3 times per day for each dog

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life. I believe they are more than pets, they are trusted friends. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I work primarily from home. I’m away only 10-15 hours per week. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you for the love and benefit of your pet. I live in my new built home. There is a lot of area outside where we can walk, but I’ll never leave a dog unattended. I have my kids (aged 16 & 18) part time. They may be around. My kids love dogs.

“Daniel is great with our dachshund and her stubborn personality especially in the rain! She gets socialization with other dogs in a safe environment where she can boost her confidence with big dogs.”


“Leah was great in my first experience with doggy day care. Her communication skills are excellent and she was on time with meeting me in the morning to take my dog to her home. She texted me updates during the day on his status and was ready with my dog and his belongings packed up at pick up. I highly recommend her, and plan to use her services again in the near future!”


About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.

About: With a lifelong devotion to dogs, I offer personalized care, specializing in puppy training and senior dog support. Continuously enhancing my expertise, I'm actively engaged in professional development to excel in cat sitting. As a dedicated dog owner, I prioritize patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to nurture strong bonds and provide attentive care. My schedule offers flexibility throughout the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate pet care needs whenever they arise. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or playtime, I'm here to provide attentive care. Additionally, for boardings, I'm available both during the week and on weekends, and I am happy to accommodate drop-offs and pick-ups after 8 pm to ensure your pet's comfort and convenience. Just give me a heads-up in advance, and I'll happily adjust my schedule to fit yours seamlessly. Keeping pets safe is my top priority. I provide regular check-ins and attentive monitoring for a secure environment, whether at home or in theirs. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and strive to balance space with affection and attention, ensuring their well-being. Open communication with pet owners is key to building trust and providing peace of mind for both parties

Tania was amazing. I felt confident that Freya was getting all of the care and attention she needed. Tania sent lots of adorable pictures and even videos and kept communication open. She responded very quickly to all questions, booking, and messaging while she had Freya. Tania also asked all necessary questions to make sure that she could take amazing care of Freya and that nothing was left out.
