“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! From the start she got there early and really went above and beyond to make sure our cats were cared for while we were out. Many photos and videos shared, played with them tons, made sure they had everything they needed, and stayed in contact all throughout the day. I could not thank her enough for how great of a service it was.”
“Emily was able to coax my stubborn dog to finally go potty, allowing me to enjoy our family day trip without worrying about our little princess at home... 😅 I'm grateful that we found such a gentle person to care for her while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.
“Molly did great! It was my first time setting up a Rover visit and she was willing to to a meet and greet, took some notes and was so nice. I was happy with the attention she provided to my pups!”
“Marion has been so patient with our two rescues who are slow to trust strangers. She has been able to win Rocco over through persistent love and treats and is building bridges with Mavis! She always sends great photos and detailed updates. Very responsive and super accommodating. Highly recommend her services!”
About: My name is Chelsea. I am a United States Navy Veteran and West Michigan native who finds purpose and passion through caring for animals. Unfortunately, we cannot bring our beloved pets everywhere we go in life, which is why I understand how necessary it is to find a trustworthy, reliable, and loving sitter. From traveling to pet sit in southern California, fostering a German sheperd for 9 months, or driving down the road to give some love at lunchtime to local animals, I'm your sitter! I'm currently working part time, and am able to dedicate time to care for pet care. I look forward to discussing time-frames that are needed to give your pet everything they need to live happy and healthy! While responsible for your pets, there will be keen attention to detail to maintain safety. Leashes, toys, and interactions with other animals will be monitored accordingly.
About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!
“Brittany is amazing with our 3 dogs (2 pit mixes and a schipperke) and 2 cats. She took such great care of them during our trip, followed our instructions and provided us with updates. We could tell that they loved her being there with them. All in all, we're blown away by the service we received and continue to receive with Brittany.”
“I had the privilege of having Jade be able to stop over to let my golden pup, Kaia, out and play with her for a short while daily. Jade was amazing and I am so glad Kaia got have such a good time every day. If it weren’t for my wife getting a job working from home, we would have had her do this a lot longer. Jade is very detailed with photos and descriptions, making it seem like you never left your fur baby in the first place. I’d recommend her to anyone; thank you Jade!”
About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.
About: I am not kidding when I say I have years of experience. I currently work at a vet, so I’m learning everyday about pets. But this experience started years ago, watching dogs, cats , hedgehogs even since age 12. I have had my share of animal stories. I have experience with sick animals so administering medicine would not be a problem. I can go on multiple walks with your animal (usually dogs but my sister walks her cat ;) And if wanted, I do run so if that is something your animals would want, we could do that. I love animals , so I will make time for them whenever I can . Whether it be a night watching your animals or just a walk to help get their energy out, I’m down for it If you just need someone to keep your animal company, I can join it for a snuggle session. Or if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for a run to get those zoomies out.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have experience training large breed rescues for service and emotional support. I’ve had two senior rescues as part of our family. I work part time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give your fit babies! I’m available for boarding daily and overnights. I have a fairly large fenced yard and one friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I have a crate available if needed for overnights.
About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.
“I called Shannon on a short, SUPER short notice for check ins for my little meat head. She came over for an introduction and got along with him straight away! Her updates are thorough and pics are even better!”
