“Hanna did a fantastic job of caring for our dogs. They both love her so much. Very grateful when we get the opportunity to use her because we know that the dogs are in good hands.”


“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”


“Abby stayed with our 2 dogs during our week long spring break trip. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the week, and it seems like our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy & healthy pups and a clean house.”


“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”


“Colene came and stayed with my sweet girl who was still recovering from surgery. She took amazing care of her and gave her all the needed snuggles while we were away for a few hours.”

“Michelle was amazing with our dogs including one who can have some behavioral/aggression issues. She took them on walks, sent plenty of updates and went above and beyond for the doggos. We will definitely request her in the future!”

“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 9 year old Yorkie-Jack as our regular sitter was booked for a day. Michelle sent lots of pictures of Macy throughout her visit. We definitely will book Michelle to hang out with Macy in future visits.”

“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”


“This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!”


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.

“We requested an in-home stay Fri-Sun the week of due to our OG dog-sitter getting sick. Ki not only accepted it right away, but messaged us in the days leading up to the stay to touch base on everything. Let us know what info was needed and even arranged to meet with us before we left. This was the first time we have ever left our dogs home for more than 6-8 hours and we didn’t have to worry at all because we got updates and photos regularly. Our dogs are happy and well-fed, cats are happy and had food in their bowls. They got snuggles all weekend, which is a must. Our home looks exactly how we left it. We will absolutely book Ki again in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of Frank, Beans, Poe, and Beau!!”


“Ariel was great! We booked her to watch our dog and cat while we went on an anniversary trip. It made our time much more enjoyable knowing that our pets were taken care of while we were away. Definitely will be using her again in the future.”

This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!

Kasidee was amazing! We were very nervous to leave our newly adopted dog with separation anxiety for the weekend, but we would rebook with Kasidee in a heartbeat! She handled our dog SO well, and she was on top of his multiple medications a day. We received multiple updates and very cute photos to ease our worries :) Bonus: we came home to a spotless house. I would recommend Kasidee to all our friends and family!

Tyler was awesome! Great communication and did a great job with my dog. Tyler was accommodating with my last minute reservation and respectful of my house. Tyler obviously kept my high energy dog busy. Her step count was great while I was away and she fell asleep within minutes of me getting home. 10/10, thank you, Tyler!

Hannah is so sweet to our Duke while staying with him at our home for a long weekend. She is communicative, rolled with any changes and last minute requests and our house looked the same as when we left it. Duke had his normal schedule and was relaxed and happy when we returned. Can’t recommend Hannah enough!

Jenna was excellent. She was communicative, sending a message with a photo every day and took excellent care of our dog and cat. It was the 4th of July week and our dog hates fireworks and she took extra care to give the dog meds and put on her thunder jacket. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away.
