“Brit was able to win over Rex in a short amount of time. He was very well cared for while I was away. She sent me pictures often to let me know he was doing well. I would definately use Britt again in the future.”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.
“Chantel provided excellent care for Ellie, and was very accommodating to come and meet her prior to her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their dog care.”
“Summer took great care of Frankie at our home while we had a big family event. She took Frankie for lots of walks and spent a ton of time outdoors, which made for a very tired and happy dog. I would recommend Summer to anyone needing loving dog care in their own home.”
“Amber was great with the Coopster! She kept me posted with pics and updates. She communicated great before, during, and after the booking. I recommend her services and I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Alex is absolutely wonderful!! Met with her twice before her 10 day stay here. We went over everything and wrote her notes for reminders. Communication was awesome! I received pictures of the critters, and we messaged 1 or 2 times a day. Asked her to keep the house as it was and it looked great plus the yard was spotless.. she even made cat toys, but the dogs seem to like them more! All around a great experience with Alex! I already have her booked in January!”
About: I’ve had two small dogs all my life walked,feeding, and playing. I have also rescued a cat from a shelter which sadly passed due to old age.(hence why I took her in) I also have a dog of my very own her name is nova she’s a husky as you can see in the profile picture. I would love to help out and take care of your pet as you need when away!! I am a waitress at a local restraunt in town with plenty of free time, I have a dog myself I enjoy being around most of my free time when I can. I have had two dogs all my life well and taken care of.along with my own pup. I am able to feed,walk,play,and hangout with your animals anytime you need!
About: I’ve taken care of animals, my whole life. I grew up on a farm where I raised chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and even some reptiles! I am currently working a part time job and going to college. I’m willing to be flexible as long as I can make it to class still! My yard is not fenced in and I live in town, so when dogs are outside, they are leashed. For my two dogs I usually take them to the dog park once a day to get the majority of their energy out we also go on walks around my neighborhood.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs as long as a I can remember. Every dog has their own personality which I love. I’ve watched family, friends, and more others peoples dogs. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to play with your amazing furry ones. I’m also available weekends also. I’m very flexible. I would love to meet your furry one before I start. I would give treats to them if that would be okay. I would go as close to your walk route as possible.
About: I was raised with animals and love any and all of them. I am also CPR certified (for humans lol) as well as loving to all animals. I am available during the week and weekends and would be more than happy to take care of the pets at any time of the day!

Grand Rapids pet parents share their Rover experiences
Summer did an incredible job taking care of our house and pets while we were away! She took the time to text us pictures of our dogs and had great communication. We came home to three happy dogs and a clean house. Summer exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her because she is kind, courteous, trustworthy, and dependable. Thanks, Summer!
Summer took excellent care of both our dogs and our home. When we returned from a weekend away, our dogs were excited to see us—but it was clear from their happy, relaxed demeanor that they had been well loved and cared for. Summer gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were gone, and we’re already looking forward to our next trip, knowing our pets and home will be in such capable hands. Highly recommend!
