1. Maelee N.


“Marlee was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and notes. One of my dogs is a rescue and tramatized, she took to Maelee right away. And Maelee was able to get her to take her medication and go to the bathroom. Which is not always easy to do. She took a lot of time with the dogs and was very patient with them”

“Brian was freaking fantastic. They were so attentive to our sweet kitty and went above and beyond to help us out when some packages and mail were left outside.

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!”


11. Kelsey E.

“Kelsey was wonderful with Sunday while we were gone. She played with her and made sure she was eating and drinking (picky cat problems). Kelsey even helped with some unexpected house problems we had — will absolutely use her service again!”


12. Gabriella R.
“I have known Gabriella professionally and personally for 4 years. She is one of the hardest working , most detail oriented persons with great follow through that I know. She is extremely pointed with what she does and is great at managing chaos in a variety of different scenarios. She truly knows how to be “top dawg” whether managing a difficult sales team or a pack of doggos!”

“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!”


14. Cassidy S.
“Cassidy watched my two pups in our home for a weekend while we were gone and she was absolutely amazing. Our older pup has a bit of an attitude in his old age and she was so caring and understanding of him. Both dogs really seemed to like her and we got tons of updates and pics throughout our time away. Not only was she great with our dogs, she was very easy to communicate with and left our home spotless, maybe even cleaner than when we left it. Cassidy was our first Rover in Grand Rapids so we were a little nervous but everything went perfectly and we will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter! We highly recommend her!”


15. Claire C.

“Claire has been amazing with our two dogs! She is very responsive in scheduling requests, and you can tell that she loves animals. She is particularly good at working with dogs who have been rescued and take a little warming up to. Oh, and the photography skills are on point too! We look forward to working with her again in the near future!”


16. Courtney L.
“Courtney is an amazing dog owner. She knows how to treat dogs in a loving but firm way. She is great at giving each dog the love and attention it deserves. Her own dog is a spoiled and very loved pup. She's an amazing person overall.”


17. Anna J.

“Anna was very helpful and took great care of our pup!”


18. Haylee R.
“Haylee housesat/took care of our 2 dogs and did a fabulous job! She is very dependable and responsive. One of our dogs is a bit leash reactive and the other is a puppy, and she was able to meet both of their needs and more. They were so much happier being at home with Haylee, as opposed to being boarded. We will absolutely look to have Haylee take care of our dogs again!”


19. Gabrielle C.
About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!
