About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, and small animals, and I can offer tailored services depending on your pet's needs. I’m happy to update you with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. Let’s connect and see how I can help with your pet care needs! I currently work from home and would not be gone for periods of time greater than a couple hours. Since we're home a majority of the time and have our own pets to care for, we welcome short notice visits. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I promise to provide the same care and attention that I give my own pets.
“Again an amazing experience. Franklin loves being with his friends Roxy and Paco. At the end of the day he’s pooped and is fast asleep. Highly recommend working with Mimi!”
“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”
“Caitlin has been a wonderful dog sitter for my pup! She gives such great care and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She is very communicative. Would definitely recommend.”
“I am so happy I found Pam here in Grand Rapids. I just moved here and needed to get my little guy set up with a doggie sitter. Pam has been wonderful letting Charlie come for two short visits to get comfortable before he stays for a week while I travel for work. Pam sent me regular updates on how Charlie was doing throughout his stays. Charlie has fit right in with the rest of her crew and came home happy has a clam after both stays. I have no doubt that he will be perfectly safe and happy while I am out of town!”
About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications orally and topically, cats, reptiles, large mammals, and more! Happy to learn what makes your pet an individual. I work from home full time, which allows me to love on your pets even more! whether that’s going to your place during the day or them coming here, whatever works. My cats love company and I am more than happy to travel to your place. I love walks and will be so happy to take your dog on an adventure!
“Lisa was very communicative and Shelby had a great time at her house for the day. We were completely comfortable leaving Shelby in her care as she was immediately welcoming and careful to get Shelby comfortable at her home slowly.”
“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”
“Would 11/10 recommend Lauren to watch your fur babies. My dog had a blast playing with her sweet golden! She also sent pictures and updates which made me feel at ease throughout the day. Will book again!”
About: What sets me apart. I would say I love animals more than I love humans and I would also say that I have had actually had senior dogs and multiple ages of dogs before until they have passed away. But I love and treat a dog like they are my child cause they are. A pet care fits in my routine by me making time it would probably be after or before I go to my primary job if I am being honest. I would care for your pet like I would care for my pet. I have an open half fenced in yard. They would have to be on a leash yard tie out, and I would provide water.
“Rosalynda took our request last minute and we really appreciated her service. Very nice lady, easy to communicate with. Thank you!”
“Always takes great care of my two dogs. They come home happy every time!”

Can't wait to see you

Heartside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sue was so friendly & great with my dog. He had so much fun with her 2 dogs. Will definitely use her services again!
Josh was so honest and informative concerning our 10 mo old pup’s not so nice behavior while in his care. He understood her “impoliteness” with his other guests and explained it to us. Our goal is now more socializing with other dogs (away from us). Thank you, Josh.
Leeann was very friendly and took excellent care of my princess. Communication was great and I got tons of pics which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her.
Renee does a great job with our Chewie. She communicates well and Chewie is so comfortable with her and the environment she provides. Love the pictures she sends as well!
Mimi was a lifesaver for us! We had an event we wanted to attend in town and Rover and Mimi came to the rescue! I appreciate her patience (as I was nervous leaving my dogs in an unfamiliar place) and attention to detail. My dogs got a walk, treats and Mimi gave them a safe haven for an afternoon. Ty!!!
Laura was a very comforting and safe presence to our somewhat anxious pup! We’re so thankful for her!
Brittany is an awesome dog sitter!! Great communication, knowledgeable about dogs and very friendly. Highly recommend. I hope Moe can go spend a day with her again soon.
This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have gone better with Alyssa! She was so loving with our dogs while we were away on vacation. It was great to have a peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Alyssa sent multiple pics through out the day and her communication was on point. We also came home to a clean and cozy house, which was great after traveling all day. We will definitely use Alyssa again in the future
