1. Karen C.

“Karen is amazing. She walks our large dog twice a week. She has been an amazing help and it would be hard to find anyone else that does a better job. We definitely recommend!”




2. Taylor Z.
“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”


3. Reyna Z.

“Reyna was very through in the care of our 3 dogs! She made sure that they were safe and had the opportunity for a great walk! We appreciated her attention to detail!”




4. Mark M.
“Mark is amazing with dogs! His love for dogs is apparent from the first time you see him interact with any dog. He was a police dog handler and trainer for the Grand Rapids police department for many years, so his ability to work with and manage dogs is excellent. His knowledge of the different breeds and their personalities is extensive. Dogs fall in love with Mark from the moment they meet him. Our dogs love to go to his house to play. You can feel 100% confident that Mark will take great care of your dog!”


5. Heather S.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.


6. Sabrina H.

“Sabrina was great. I needed someone last minute as my regular dog walker was going out of town. My dog has anxiety and takes time to warm up to people so I was worried he’d have a hard time. Sabrina was patient and all went well. I will most definitely book with her again.”


7. Keegan D.

“I can't express how thankful we were to have Keegan care for our fury babies. She was truly a blessing. I would definitely use her services again!”


8. Brittani B.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.




9. Brittany C.


“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”


10. Brooke M.
“Brooke has a very special love and care for all animals. She has owned and cared for a WIDE variety of pets and has taken exceptional care of each and every one. Brooke has taken care of may animals over the years when I was out of town and has always been dependable and has gone above and beyond for me and my pets. Since she loves animals combined with knowledge and experience, she is the ideal person to care for anyone needing a loving pet caregiver. Brooke comes highly recommended!”


11. Laberta W.
“Laberta is an absolute gem!!! I have a high energy, trouble making Vizsla puppy (named Ruby) that I thought only a mother could love . But Laberta showers Ruby with love and attention … so much so that my pup gets so excited to see her that she doesn’t even notice that I’m leaving for the weekend ! I know my dog is high maintenance but Laberta takes her in with loving, open arms … she spends quality time with Ruby outside walking and playing . (I know because she sends updates and pictures which I love because it makes for worry-free getaways 😊 … and that is priceless ) . I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter for my fur baby ❤️”


12. Kelly M.
“Kelly is great with animals of all shapes, kinds and sizes! She always takes good care of any pet - whether or not they're her own. She tends to think of any animal as more of a part of the family than a pet. She is very responsive, available short notice and will listen to any type of need you/your pet might have. I couldn't think of a more perfect person to watch your babies while you're away!”


13. Katelyn W.

“Thank you for your quick response with the last minute request!”


14. CHELSEA M.
“Chelsea was a god send for me while I was deployed. She watched my German Shepherd for about 7 months for me. She not only took my pup into her home and took care of him but she also met with my dog trainer while I was away and continued his training and kept up on it. When I got home my dog was very well taken care of and all trained up. I could not have asked for better care than what she offered. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet, she is the obvious choice for me.”


15. Sophia M.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Animals are a big passion of mine and I would love to help out others with theirs!! I’ve pet sat and dog walked for family and friends since I was 11. I’m hoping to help others with caring for their pets!! Im currently in college but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m open on weekends and most week nights. I’m open to make my schedule work for you! I have a yard, all though it’s not fenced in there are dog parks within walking distance from my home and I’m more than happy to take dogs to them and keep an eye on them. There are many trails right by my home such as the white pine trail as well.


16. Emily B.
“Emily has taken care of our dog and three kittens multiple times now. She has both stayed at our house for seven days and nights and also done multiple days just stopping in one or two times per day to take care of our animals. We have always come home to well taken care of animals that are happy and healthy. Emily sends us pictures while we are away and texts if there’s anything we need to know or if she has any questions. It can be hard having a stranger in your house taking care of your animals, but Emily has proven to be trustworthy and is also a very sweet person. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies.”


17. Jennifer R.

“We have used Jennifer twice and are very pleased. She notifies us when she arrives, sends photos and takes great care of our dogs.”


18. Shelby D.
About: I grew up with labs my whole life so I’m very use to large dogs! The endless shedding doesn’t scare me away! I truly love all dog breeds though and I’m willing to open up to even the moody ones! I work full time 8:30-5:00 but I do have an hour lunch that I can make work for potty breaks and short walks! I can also stop by before and after work and I’m willing to stay during night weeknights too on occasion. I have a fiancé and two kids so I prefer to be home during week nights but with a notice in advance I can make it work. I am a bit OCD with my own pet care. My cat has an enclosure for his litter box with foam flooring for underneath the enclosure. I keep a broom, a shop vac and a swifter all just for his area. He has special prescription food and I keep his diet on a schedule. He gets lots of love daily and I plan provide the same care for your pets!


19. Jade M.
“My dog Maggie just turned three. Jade has been helping me with her when I have needed help. Stopping at my home to check on her, let her out, feed her. Maggie had a litter of puppies the end of December. Jade was there to help while Maggie birthed the puppies. She stayed with puppies and Maggie while I worked, even spending a few nights. You can clearly see how much Jade loves and cares for animals. I highly recommend her to help with your pet.”


20. Ava H.
“I don't know how it's possible, but I think Ava loves our dog, Barkley, as much as we do! She's very dependable, punctual, and conscientious. I can't recommend her enough!”
