Dog Sitting in Grand Rapids

About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.

“Thanks for your help on such short notice.”

“Kaitlyn had great communication ahead of her visit and helped both pups avoid any accidents in the apartment. I appreciate that she spent time playing with them and sent cute pictures.”

“Elise is honestly an angel, she came in clutch for me at the last minute & she wasn’t my original Rover. She offered helpful info with quick responses just bc, honestly! She did a meet & greet last minute bc how nervous I was. Sent pics everyday with detailed updates; as well as assisted with app issues. One complaint but isn’t an honest mistake. She forgot to lock the door 1x but that’s IT! Everything else perfect! Even cleaned the boogers out my babies eyes hahah”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child. For the past 8 years I have watched dogs for family and friends. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and am comfortable working with young puppies. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I'm available most weekdays for walks and pet care. I have a fenced in backyard and a small-medium 1 year old dog who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Amanda did great work watching our fur babies (+ plants) and keeping us updated while we were out of town. I will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”

About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.

“Deanna was the best Rover we have ever used! She took such good care of Koda and P and really made it easy for us to not worry while we were away on vacation. She took took great update pictures and detailed every drop in. She even vacuumed our carpet and swept our floors to clean up. We definitely recommend using her and will be reaching out to her whenever we need our future Rover!”

“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!”

About: I used Rover and loved it! Now, I am opening my home, yard (and next door park), to other dogparents. How can we care for your pup(s)? I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule based around events and site visits. Your pups will have supervision, fun, and lots of snuggles if they’d like. I am a German Shepherd mom. I have watched my family member’s pets before and have a crate from when my girl was a pup. My son loves animals and helps care for them all. This was his idea (and he affectionately calls this endeavor “Brayden’s Amazing Dog Boarding”. We treat pups like family but our two story, fenced in home has plenty of space for us to give visitors whatever kind of engagement or isolation they prefer.

“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”

Lance P.

“Kevin took excellent care of our furbabies while we were on vacation! Punctual, communicative, and shared photos and details of his visits that helped us feel confident that our girls were in good hands. Will use Kevin for pet care services in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever sense I was little. I’ve always been around dogs and I have always been counted on to take them on walks and care for them with the upmost respect. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your needs. You will never have to be doubtful of the safety of your animal if they are in my hands. I currently work full time but have varied hours where I am available in the mornings some days of the week as well as in the afternoon and weekends. I can work with your schedule to when you need me. I will follow all rules and regulations you may have when it comes to what you allow your pets to do in your home. I can use the same demands as you do with your animal so there is always consistency. I am very trustworthy and will leave your home exactly how you left it. I will always respect your space, you, and your animal.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! My family and friends trust me to care for their fur-babies and you will, too! I am currently working part-time / from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to hang with your pet(s)! I am available Monday-Friday, preferably before 5pm, but can make most week nights work. (I may be available on some weekends if prearranged!) I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking services, but if things go well I would be open to doggy day care or overnight stays at my home! My dog Marshall and I walk about 3 miles a day and play a lot of fetch in our large fenced in yard. We enjoy finding new places to hike and looking for a good place to swim! As a teacher of 8 years, I am very caring, kind, and trustworthy!

About: I have been watching animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a house full of cats and dogs, I've been involved with puppies/kittens to senior pets as well. I'm available to administer medication if needed. I've looked after animals for my neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers as well as those I have been recommended to from existing clientele. I currently work full time, but am remote on Fridays. I work from 8-5 PM everyday, with an hour break from 12-1 PM. I can work around my schedule and yours for your pets needs! Available on the weekends, all day, as well. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I would care for my own pets in my own home. I respect the space that I'm in while giving my undivided attention to the animals that need my care. I'm respectful of the home I'm staying in, always trying to make it cleaner than when I arrived (you'll never know I was there!). The pet's wellbeing is important and a top priority for me - I want to make sure the owner feels at ease when leaving their pet(s) and home with me.

About: I have taken care of friend’s dogs over long periods of time and enjoy walking dogs and spending quality time with all types of animals. I am a Master’s student with a very flexible schedule, especially in the mornings to provide play time, walks, and anything your pup needs while you’re away! I prefer to care for animals in their own home, as I am renting and have a skittish cat of my own. I do have reliable transportation to get to your home.

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.

“Samantha is so wonderful! She is attentive, and remembers everything, including things I forgot to set out, and she always reminds me and asks about it :) She was able to watch my kitties last minute, and was very dedicated to them! They love her so much!”
