“Maelee was so amazing with our pups! We were so grateful to have Maelee step in for a last-minute drop-in for our dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort she put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Maelee!”


“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”


“Lauren had great communication and flexibility. I came home to no messes and 2 happy girls! Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future if needed.”


“Abby was fantastic! We were worried about using Rover for the first time but ended up being SUPER impressed with the checkin system and Abby's work. She sent us pictures and an update every day. She was really quick to respond and nice to meet. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”


“Our sweet doodles absolutely love Brian! We were so grateful to have Brian step in for a few last-minute drop-ins for our dogs. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort he put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Brian!”


“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”


“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!”


“Molly did such a fantastic job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a couple days! This was our first time having Molly come over and she certainly exceeded our expectations. She sent photos and video updates which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our family or friends with fur babies too!”



“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!”


“Ariel was an awesome sitter for our two kittens. Clear communication ahead of time, great updates and photos, and it was just obvious that they were well taken care of. I would and will hire her again!”


“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 :)”


“Kaitlin goes above and beyond to take care of our pets. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy, and she does an amazing job. We feel so comfortable having her come take care of our pets for us while we are away and she makes the process so smooth and easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Claire was everything I needed in a dog sitter. After many bad experiences with boarding, I wanted to give a sitter a shot instead. She was very communicative and helped me through the process of using Rover for the first time. I could clearly tell that she was an animal lover and treated my dog like he was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“Ali has been an absolute miracle worker for our family. We have two rescue dogs with a wide range of behavioral issues. One, Stevie, is anxious all the time, has separation issues, and is a resource guarder. The other, George, came from a hoarding situation where she had little contact with humans. When she finally did interact with people due to being heartworm positive and having health issues, she had to go through painful procedures, and as a result, she has deep trust issues. Ali brings the perfect personality and energy to the equation. She is gentle and kind, meeting them where they are. She earned their trust easily by making it about their experience versus forcing her way in. She is an excellent communicator and asked a lot of great questions before our group meeting. We have a cat too. =) We were able to take our first week-long vacation recently thanks to Ali. And we could do so in complete confidence that everything was taken care of, and the pictures she sent us daily reflected happy pets!! We came home to a calm and spotless house, and for the first time, there were NO indicators that our "kids" were unhappy or stressed about us leaving. They may have had a better time with Ali than we did in Punta Cana!! Do yourself and your pets a favor and hire Ali. She is the absolute greatest!”


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.

Grand Rapids pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.

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!

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!
