“Polina stayed in our home with our border collie mix, Willy, for 12 nights. We came home to a happy dog and found everything just as we had left it. Polina updated us with pictures giving us piece of mind that all was well at home. We will definitely book her again!”
“Hanna was great! She was able to stay at our place and watch our puppy in heat at the last minute. Ladybird loved her, and Hanna sent great updates and photos. Ladybird was well taken care of and we would absolutely use Hanna again!”
“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”
“Abby stayed with our 2 dogs during our week long spring break trip. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the week, and it seems like our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy & healthy pups and a clean house.”
“Ricardo did an excellent job with my two boys. While one is older with a grumpy attitude and the other is skittish, Ricardo did an awesome job trying to coax them out of their shell. I will absolutely consider rebooking with Ricardo in the future.”
“We had no concerns with all 5 of our animals when Colene was watching them. We appreciate that she was flexible with our plans changing last minute and appreciate the photos she sent!”
“Sara was wonderful. Our pup is very scared of new people and greeted Sara immediately. She kept us updated with lots of pics and I felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Bethany was helpful and caring. She was willing to come Meet before watching our dog. She also listened and gave him his medicine at the exact times needed. She communicated each time his medicine was given which kept my worry down.”
“Anna was a pleasure to have back in our home to watch my boys, timely and perfect communication as always. Our favorite pet sitter and we can’t wait to have you back soon!”
“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 9 year old Yorkie-Jack as our regular sitter was booked for a day. Michelle sent lots of pictures of Macy throughout her visit. We definitely will book Michelle to hang out with Macy in future visits.”
About: I spent my college education learning about animals and their behaviors! My passion is to care for animals and make sure they are as happy as can be. I have trained my dog since she was a puppy and continue to train her everyday! I have had many different types of animals and dog breeds throughout my life including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and axolotls. I currently work part time at a zoo and would love to care for your pets in my free time. Assisting your animals after work and on my days off is the perfect job for me. I have taken training classes with dogs and know how to effectively get them to cooperate and I plan on giving them all the love they want
“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”
About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.
“Kiah helped us out last minute, over a holiday weekend, and was amazing. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures of our pup. She gave him lots of attention and even let our chickens out for us. She gave me updates multiple times a day and left the house clean. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?”
“Tyler did an outstanding job watching our 3 dogs and home while we were on vacation. Daily updates with pictures made us feel at ease and relaxed! Tyler followed detailed instructions on feeding and behaviors. We will DEFINITELY use Tyler as our sitter going forward!!”
“Amanda stayed with my girls over a 3 day weekend, and I loved the frequent updates and daily pictures. I have a somewhat anxious pup that seemed to love her! I came home to a clean place and happy kiddos. I would choose to rebook another time.”

Highland Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!
Kasidee was amazing! We were very nervous to leave our newly adopted dog with separation anxiety for the weekend, but we would rebook with Kasidee in a heartbeat! She handled our dog SO well, and she was on top of his multiple medications a day. We received multiple updates and very cute photos to ease our worries :) Bonus: we came home to a spotless house. I would recommend Kasidee to all our friends and family!
Tyler was awesome! Great communication and did a great job with my dog. Tyler was accommodating with my last minute reservation and respectful of my house. Tyler obviously kept my high energy dog busy. Her step count was great while I was away and she fell asleep within minutes of me getting home. 10/10, thank you, Tyler!
Hannah is so sweet to our Duke while staying with him at our home for a long weekend. She is communicative, rolled with any changes and last minute requests and our house looked the same as when we left it. Duke had his normal schedule and was relaxed and happy when we returned. Can’t recommend Hannah enough!
Jenna was excellent. She was communicative, sending a message with a photo every day and took excellent care of our dog and cat. It was the 4th of July week and our dog hates fireworks and she took extra care to give the dog meds and put on her thunder jacket. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away.
