“Maria is so great with our puppy! She noticed when his bowl of water was getting low and filled it up for him. She has great attention to detail and we are very happy to have her and her partner help us out with our puppy!”


“Jessie was great. She is very knowledgeable and we immediately felt confident in her abilities. She gave Mae a great workout!!! We would highly recommend Jessie and will definitely have her back!”


About: I was born into a house with 2 cats, and adopted my puppy (who passed away last year) when I was 6. My neighbor is a vet tech with many different animals in house, and has given me lots of help and advice. Last summer I spent a week at my future college beginning my pre-veterinarian training, and am going into the pre-vet program this fall! This is my only job for the summer, so I will be completely committed to caring for your pets for you! I want your pet to enjoy loving quality time no matter what. I am very attentive to pets’ needs, and will be active with them as much as they (and you) wish. Walks, play time, feeding, cleaning, and meds if needed are all happily provided.

“Mike has been wonderful in taking care of Stanley for us. He continues to exceed expectations with time spent and helping release some of his energy. He has also been extremely flexible and willing to help out whenever we ask. We are very grateful for all his help in taking care of our precious pooch.”


“Judy was amazing! I had a rather chaotic, last-minute request and she was patient, flexible, and kind about the whole situation. Best of all, she took fantastic care of my pup. I won't hesitate to call on her services again.”



About: With over 15 years of dedicated service in the pet care industry, I bring a wealth of experience and a heartfelt passion for animals to every furry friend I meet. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of pet needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide exceptional care that goes beyond the basics. Whether it’s ensuring a puppy’s first steps are confident or offering gentle support to a senior pet, I tailor my approach to suit each animal’s unique personality and requirements. What truly distinguishes me from other pet sitters is my specialized expertise and hands-on skills:Puppy Training: I excel at guiding young dogs through their early stages, from housebreaking to basic commands. My patient, positive approach helps puppies grow into well-behaved companions, giving owners peace of mind and a strong foundation for their pet’s future.Senior Pet Care: I have a knack for nurturing older pets, providing the extra attention and comfort they need. From managing mobility issues to offering a calm, reassuring presence, I ensure senior pets enjoy their golden years with dignity and love.Medication Administration: I’m skilled at administering medications—whether it’s pills, injections, or special diets—ensuring pets stay healthy without added stress.Behavioral Support: I’ve worked with pets exhibiting everything from anxiety to stubborn habits, using proven techniques to address challenges and foster harmony in their environment. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I start and end each day with routines centered around animals, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply giving them love and attention. I build my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they get the consistency, comfort, and companionship they need. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and playtime are always something I look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets full-time or fitting visits around other responsibilities, I always prioritize their well-being, keeping their routines as close to home as possible. I’ve always believed pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re family, and they deserve the same love, comfort, and care we’d want for our own. When I stop by for a drop-in visit, my goal is to make your pet’s day a little brighter while keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow their usual routine—meals, fresh water, potty breaks—while also giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime that matches their personality. Whether that’s tossing a ball, going for a quick walk, or enjoying some cozy couch cuddles, I make sure they feel cared for and not alone. I’m also happy to handle medications and tidy up their space if needed. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can see their happy face and know they’re in loving hands until you’re back.


“Jennifer is great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she was available short notice from us which we appreciated! Thanks for taking care of our fur baby Jennifer!”

“This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.”


About: I have been an animal care taker and lover for my entire life. Raised on a farm, I lived alongside dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and cows. I am familiar with the dog friendly places in West Michigan, but I am also happy to come over to your neighborhood to provide animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely animal friends! At home I live with three cats and a dog. I am no stranger to feeding, walking, and administering medicine to the fluffy members of my household. I am in a period of transition and have a flexible schedule when it comes to supporting you and your animals. You and your pet likely already have an established routine and dynamic. I am happy to follow your outlined guidelines and provide additional support where you need!

About: I have loved all animals as long as I can remember! My pet care experiences vary from anxious puppies to bearded dragons! I have had successful experiences with rodents such as guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and reptiles. While taking care of your pet I would do my best to provide them with as much love and care as you would! I am currently attending high school but would be able to take care of your pet immediately after that! I could easily fit your animals care into my every day schedule since it is already apart of my daily life! For boarding services, I would do my best to make sure your animal is as comfortable as possible. We all know how stressful sleeping in a new place can be and I would use all of my resources to make sure that your pet would be as pleasant as possible. For other services I would do the same and make sure your animal has a great time with me and would adjust my schedule around their needs.

“Retia is an amazing person to work with! She has great communication, works so well with all dogs, and has an incredible training background. We know our pup is safe and happy with her each day for her walks and that gives us such peace of mind.”


About: I have cared for the pets of friends and family over the last decade. I have utilized Rover services all over the country for my own beloved dog and am excited to be of service to other pet lovers. Usually I will be away from home about 5 hours max on average Monday through Friday. Weekends vary some but not usually away more than 3 Our home is able to be divided or cohesive. If your pet prefers a quiet space, we can provide that. I am willing and able to do multiple daily walks and live on a culdasac away from traffic. I have a large puppy that gets along with others but I do not force the interaction and can easily separate.

About: I’ve had different kinds of dogs all my life between pit bulls, massive mix, husky’s, and Australian shepherds! About 2 years ago I found an interest in making new furry friends and have been giving my friends and family a chance to go on vacation! Im currently in college for cosmetology from 9-4:30, working on getting my license! I’ve always had a passion for loving on animals and would love to continue to do both. I have availability anytime after 4:30 for dinner feedings and getting the zoomies out! I also could do weekends with notice in advance. I’m very organized and responsible when it comes to feeding times and potty breaks. I will always make sure I’m doing what’s best for the dog and the owners needs, as I would hope someone would do the same for my pets!

About: I have been watching animals as wild as huskies for years. I enjoy connecting with animals and taking care of them - they are truly our saviors. I am gig app driver who sets their own schedule. I really have an open schedule for various animal care needs. Also this allows more time with your pets :) I have a fenced in back yard and a safe, clean home. I am very relaxed and easy going person, I will treat your house with respect and care - making no messes.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up caring for our Boxers, Pitbulls, Dash Hounds and Chihuahuas. We also had horses and at one point a bunny. I really enjoy walking and training all sorts of animals! I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of time early in the week to help with puppos.(All dogs are just big puppos at heart.) I am very flexible and mobile. I currently live somewhere where I can't have more animals, so pet care at my home is a no go, however I am more than happy to stick to any routines your pet may have in your own home and make sure they get plenty of attention.

“She did amazing with our dog, this was the first time he was left home overnight without someone he knows coming over to walk him. He was absolutely terrified when she came in but she was calm and moved slowly to get his trust and stayed almost an hour between the 30 minute walk and the almost 30 minutes of getting him to trust her. 10/10 would hire again.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have taken care of a wide variety of pets since I was young, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience has taught me how to be attentive, patient, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs. I especially love spending time with dogs—taking them on walks, playing with them outside, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Being active myself, I enjoy keeping up with high-energy pets and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I'm responsible, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own I’m currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time watching and playing with your pets. Once the school year begins, I’ll be continuing my college education, but since many of my classes are online, I’ll still have a lot of availability to help out and care for your animals. While I don’t currently have the space to care for pets in my own home, I’d be more than happy to stop by yours to spend time with your animals—whether it’s for playtime, feeding, or just some company. I also love going on walks, especially in safe and pet-friendly areas, so if your dog is high-energy and needs regular exercise, you can trust they’ll be in good hands with me.
