“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”
“Keisha was amazing!! She sent lots of updates on our dog and spent really good time with her the whole 5 day trip. She was in such good hands and we would DEFINITELY use her again! Thank you!!”
“As usual, a smooth transaction/stay! We absolutely love Ashley. She is very flexible, punctual and most importantly - clean (we only do home stays). Our pup is always happy to see Ashley and enjoys her company very much.”
“Jasmine was a fantastic person to have house sit for our pets! She sent many updates and photos. I know that she took the best care of our Great Dane (and cat!). I would highly recommend her! Hope we can book her again.”
“Adrinne was incredible! She took great care of our dog, Rita, taking her on my walks, to dog-friendly coffee shops, and many snuggles. She sent photos and updates every day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her back!”
“Melissa was outstanding!! We for sure could not have asked for anyone better to come stay with our babies. We got daily pictures and updates and you could tell she loved them like her own. We can not wait for her to come back as we already have her booked for more sittings!”
“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”
“Tishara was a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She stayed at our home and ensured our pups were loved on while we were gone. She was quick to communicate with us when needed and shared great photos. One of our dogs requires medicine 2x daily so Tishara made sure she understood how to administer it as well as any emergency contacts she might need while we’re gone. It is so reassuring to know someone is looking after your pets with that much care and concern.”
“Elizabeth did the most fantastic job with our dog Annie. She was always fast to respond and sent multiple updates with pictures! Annie can be reactive and has grudges against many of our neighbors dogs so leaving her with someone new for neighborhood walks can be daunting. I felt completely confident in Elizabeth after one walk with her and Annie. We will absolutely be reaching back out to Elizabeth the next time we are looking for a rover! Thank you so much for the best first rover experience.”
“Lenys did a fantastic job watching my dog Miles. She was very attentive to him, and she provided transparent communication as well as pictures throughout the week. I would highly recommend her.”
“As always, Lily goes above and beyond. Helped navigate an u expected, significant GI problem with one of the dogs that required a visit for emergency care and helping mitigate a significant clean-up job. Communicated fantastically throughout the saga”
About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”
“Carly was so great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet! She was able to work with our schedule and took great care of our pets. I got daily updates with some great pictures of Melody and Theo! Would definitely like to work with her again!”
“Talor was wonderful! she was super patient and helpful when dexter started to have his typical stomach issues. she sent lots of pictures and left the house clean and tidy! will absolutely use her again.”
“Very hard for me to leave my baby! But Bowie was at ease with Travis right away (and she can be particular about men)! He did a great job of making sure I felt comfortable and putting my mind at ease by sending lots of great pictures where Bowie looked happy and she got lots of walks and outdoor time!”
About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!
“Allie is great! We have three dogs and a cat, and each one of them is high maintenance in their own way- a senior with arthritis and a bit of doggie dementia, a double Merle who was born blind and deaf, has IBS, and is on anti-seizure meds, and a 3 year old with some anxiety issues and leash reactivity. To top it off, the cat is not a fan of strangers in his home. We haven’t had someone watch our pets since we moved to Grand Rapids because we didn’t know how in the world we would find someone up to the job! Allie came over for a meet and greet prior to watching them for a long weekend and it was clear right away that she had the energy, confidence and mindset to watch our crew. She sent pictures and notes throughout the weekend just to keep us updated, which was much appreciated since we were a bit anxious about leaving our crazy crew of pets in someone else’s care for the first time in a looong time! Allie was up for the challenge. We’re thrilled to have found her, and will definitely be asking her to come back!!”

Sonia E.
“Sonia is an amazing dog care taker! She has been a reliable and compassionate walker for my baby Ruby for many years. Sonia really spends quality time with Ruby, taking her on adventures during their walk's. Ruby is a Mastif Pitbull and 11 years old. Sonia has grown with Ruby, adjusting to her slowing down over the years. A testament to Sonia’s amazing dog care taking skills is the excitement with which Ruby greets her every time she sees her! I recommend Sonia, she will treat your baby like one of her own. 💖✨”

She is courteous, careful and kind. She seeks to understand and empower dogs to make their own choices and feel safe enough to have fun! She is also an excellent carer for all species, and has cared for many complex felines as well as canines. She has cared for my personal pets and is an excellent choice for your animal care needs.”

I’m so thankful to Jaime for looking after our little, nervous pup. Sugar’s a special guy, and it’s not easy for him to feel relaxed around new people — but Jaime made me feel at ease from the very first meeting. Thanks for being such a huge help so we could enjoy our wedding party. It was a wild night (storm and all!), and somehow Sugar still seemed calm with Jaime! I know I can count on her again, and I felt totally comfortable having her in our home.
Rhonda did an excellent job with my 2 pups while I was away for 10 days. Lot's of walks with regular updates to me. Not sure the dogs even cared that I left them. She also took great care of my house and even baked me some delicious pumpkin bread to have upon my return. Rhonda is wonderful and I will use her again.
Erica always does an amazing job watching our pup! We have trusted her for several sits and it is always a great experience. She truly cares about our dog and provides multiple updates each day while watching our dog which is nice to see as you are away from your pet. I can’t say enough on how positive Erica’s care and experiences have been. Would highly recommend!
This was our first time having a house sitter/Rover care giver, and Jackie really helped put our minds at ease! She was lovely keeping our dogs comfortable and calm during the very loud local air show while we were away. Our pup Frankie had a tummy issue and bad accident in her crate, and Jackie gave her a bath and cleaned everything up amazingly. We are very grateful for all her work!
