“Erin provided outstanding pet sitting services for my 3-month-old chihuahua puppy, Java. She was extremely friendly, offered reasonable prices, and kept me updated daily. Java was clearly well cared for and happy, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Erin to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“Rachel took fantastic care of our Chesney! She sent daily updates and photos. Made our vacation more enjoyable knowing our baby was so well taken care of. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Marisa took great care of my elderly (age 17) dog, Nora. She really enjoyed her weekend stay there, and liked being able to go out into her fenced yard. I appreciate the excellent care Marisa gave Nora very much and enjoyed the photos she sent.”
“Sophie loved staying with Kayla, Julian, and Lila! She didn’t want to leave and was sad when we drove home- which is a first for her! Already planning to rebook with them!”
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Alan was very positive.He sent pictures and comments, and he also was patient with our change in plans. We hope that he'll be able to watch Hershey again sometime because it was a great experience for our dog.”
About: I am a dog groomer by trade. I love animals and enjoy all the time I get to spend with them. I do not see walking or training dogs as a job but rather a hobby. I can guarantee that your dog will be in great hands with me as i will care for him/her as my own. Whether it is just a walk or major training needs I will work tirelessly to make you and your pet happy. The health and happiness of a pet means more than can be imagined and I know that without our beloved animals we would be lost. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you! I do work full time however this is a family gig where we all chip in. There will always be someone with availability to provide care for your dog just as we would our own. I have a fenced-in yard where the dogs can play either by themselves or in a group that fits their personalities. I offer walks twice a day if playing in the yard isn't enough. Depending on length of stay I offer a free bath. Depending on dog's coat I offer daily brushing. If I go to a client's home I will treat their home with the same respect I expect someone to treat my own. I leave everything the way I found it (unless there is a dog mess on the floor, I will clean that up).
“Habun did a great job, doing everything she could to make our dog (and us) comfortable. She was happy to send frequent pictures and take her on fun walks and trips. We would definitely book again!”
“Penny was great! She sent many photo updates of our puppies. They had many adventure walks, had time to play in her yard, and they also did some training sessions. We will definitely be back!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job at making my old lady comfortable! Nothing seems to phase her either, she's very in touch with the ways and needs of a senior dog. Harley had a great time with her!”
“A perfect family! Always very flexible on pickup/drop off times. Always sending picture/ video updates on how the stay is going. You can tell her daughter loves having new dogs in the house. They are always so kind and love dog sitting. Definitely a returning customer!”
“Debra is super accommodating for our older dog and always sends pictures of how he's doing! Our dog typically has separation anxiety from us, but every time we've dropped him off at Debra's, we've had no issues seeing him off! He definitely enjoys his stays with her and we have nothing to worry about while he's there!”
“LaTonya was amazing! I left my energetic six month old puppy with her right in the middle of a bad teething stage and she was great! She sent multiple photos throughout the day along with frequent updates on how he was doing! My puppy had never been away from me for a night or stayed with anyone else and she was SO patient with him! Her having her own dogs is a HUGE plus since I think it was a big reason why my puppy got settled so quickly. I would recommned her to anyone!”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“This was Gemma's 1st time being boarded and Tina was amazing. She sent us updates and pictures twice a day because she knew how anxious we were about it. Gemma definitely had a blast and made some new friends! We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“We are so grateful to have found Lisa to care for our dog, Lilly! She watched Lilly for four days and was absolutely amazing. From the start, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to be able to get away and not worry about the care Lilly was receiving—we knew she was in great hands. Lisa went above and beyond, and we could tell she truly cared about Lilly. We’re moving soon and only wish we had found her sooner. If you're looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter, we can't recommend Lisa enough!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Cindy. Cindy and her husband were very friendly. They treated our dog as if it was their own. I will definitely use Cindy again. Highly Recommend.”

Grand Rapids dog parents share their Rover experiences
Highly recommend Lisa! Everything was very easy from the meet & greet to getting my pup after the stay. She has a great system of blocking off parts of the house to insure all pups are safe. She loves animals and it clearly shows. I got a video or picture with an update every morning and evening. My pup came home very happy and very tired!
