About: Hello my name is Mimi! I am 23 years old I live with my husband and his family and we have three dogs and three cats. Paco and Roxy are oldest dogs they are about to turn 3 years old In March and we just got our puppy scrappy he is about to be 4 months old. We have three cats sunshine, melody, and snowy that are also going to be turning three years old this year. I work part time at Chow hound I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to working for rover as well. I have always loved animals my whole life but I grew up in apartments so never really got the chance to have pets of my own other then just small animals such as rabbits,hamsters,ferrets, and guinea pigs. Then once me and my husband got together we got pups and cats and we been really happy with them sometimes they are rebellious but they are also what brings joy into our lives. Also back when I started Rover I started it because since I couldn't have dogs or cats of my own I was like why not help people that need help with there pets so that's when I got introduced to Rover getting to do what I love to do and help others! I am working part time at Chow hound and also work Rover my job they are very flexable! If it is necessary I do request days off if needed! I try my best to give my clients dogs a good time and respect there home if I do housing sitting jobs and as for when I have my clients over dogs over I just let them play with my pups and it’s great I enjoy seeing my dogs socialize with other dogs.
“Madison has been warm and loving to our older cat, helping out with her medical issues. She is responsible and dependable - we are so glad she was available and would ask her to visit our pets every time!”
“Deanna was great! It was a last minute request and she was all over it, very professional, and communicated well the duration of the check in. My kitty boi was so happy she hung out and played with him. She took cute pictures that warmed my heart. Thanks Deanna!”
“Colene did a great job watching and hanging out with my cat! She took great pictures both visits, as well as cleaning up after my cat which was not needed but highly appreciated! I would definitely book her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!!”

“Elizabeth did a great job checking in our dogs. We have an older one that has been placed on new meds that needs to be let out and a younger one that has a lot more energy. She communicated very well and provided really nice updates! I highly recommend!”

“Hannah really gets to know and understand the animals she cares for. Our cat was a little unwell when we went out of town for a short (nearby) weekend with family. Hannah did such a wonderful job providing us with detailed updates so we could judge if we needed to come home early or if he was on the mend. We love having her take care of Catballs, they know each other well now and that’s such a comfort for him and us!”
“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”

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.

Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!
Taylor was awesome! Took excellent care of our cats. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
Jenn took excellent care of our two middle-aged female cats, both of whom tend to have issues with strangers. (One hides, the other scratches without provocation.) Jenn handled both of them expertly and kept us up-to-date during our 8-day vacation with brief reports and photos twice a day. We would recommend Jenn’s services to any responsible pet owner.
Brian helped me out in a pinch, as I needed to make a last-minute trip out of state for a family funeral. Grateful for his help!
Sara is a fantastic kitty sitter. She is a great communicator as well as caregiver. It's so nice to know our kitty will have Sara visiting while we're gone.
Jenna is amazing and we have rebooked her now for the second time! I would trust Jenna with my pet any day and I know that she gives the care and comfort our pet needed while we are out of town!
Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.
We love Alli! She's reliable, caring and a great communicator. Our cat is often aloof to new people but loved her from the get go... and we all know pets are the best judges of character. :)
Rebecca was amazing! Super communicative and kept me updated all week with how my cat was doing, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares and went above and beyond. I'll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend.
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
Jacqueline was awesome and took great care of my kitty (and my plants and garden, too)! She's wonderful and we'll definitely continue to book her! :-)
Hanna was wonderful! She asked a lot of questions and made sure she understood Roxy’s care instructions. Great communication, lots of pictures and updates. Roxy seemed very content when I got home. I will definitely be using Hanna again to watch Roxy in the future :)
Taylor was very attentive and diligent while taking care of my babies!! Would totally recommend and book again!
Five stars just isn’t enough!! Thank you for putting up with our weird little guy and his love of feet! What a creepy critter!!
Jenna is such a reliable and caring sitter for my cat, Thelma. My mind is always at ease when Jenna is “on duty.”
I’m so happy to have found this service and Henry! He took such great care of my boys while we were in and out of town moving. Thank you so much Henry, we really appreciate all you did and will think of you the next time we need to go out of town.
