“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! ❤️❤️”


“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!”


About: I've had animals in my life since the age of five, and I have regularly taken care of family and friends animals. I've taken multiple classes on animal psychology and have a broad understanding of what dietary needs a domesticated animal. I have an open schedule; so once I know the time I'm needed I can rearrange my schedule to fit the need of the current time, I have the ability to go at a moment notice if need be I have a fenced in yard with two metal latch fences and reinforced posts in my main yard. I also have a 1-year-old cat named Toad who is predominantly an indoor cat.

About: I absolutely love animals and I have enough energy to keep up with them too! I have experience in veterinary background which ensures I am trained to catch any early health issues. I can give medication on a schedule or keep up with special needs as well :) I work as a Muskegon county park ranger in the mornings and afternoons except Mondays and Tuesdays. I am very comfortable with commuting as I live in Ludgington. I can be as flexible as you need, whether it be boarding, house sitting, or dropping in for a playdate before or after work! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of room to play both my cat and my dog get along well with other animals! Both are fully up to date on all vaccines and neutered! I also have a room set aside for my cat that is dog free which could be shared with other cats. I am comfortable with crating for longer stays and my dog is crate trained as well!

“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”


About: I grew up in a household that rarely had less than 3 dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs - big, small, mutt or purebred - they all have hearts of gold. Contact me if your pup (or any other fur babies) needs some extra attention (either in-home or in my home), exercise, or boarding! All breeds/sizes/ages welcome. Your pet will receive plenty of care, attention and love. I have extensive experience working with anxious pups. My parents’ dog shakes/cries at any loud noise, the smell of bacon cooking (yes, really... makes her think of the smoke detector going off), etc. I’ve always been able to calm her down. I have also worked with skittish and aggressive dogs. My friend has a pup that bites/barks at almost everyone, but he now cuddles up and cries of excitement whenever I come over. I am currently self-employed, and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule. I also accept last minute bookings as well, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a spacious duplex and welcome boarding. Animals are allowed to explore and are allowed on the furniture if they so choose. I am more than happy to house-sit too--I can travel upwards of 50 miles for stays and I always leave homes in the same condition I found them.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 16 and have loved every second of it. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and even ducks, chickens, and goats! I will make sure that your pet gets as much love, care, and attention as they need while you are away. I’m a full time graduate student in Ferris State’s PharmD program, so when I’m not in class, I will be able to provide all of the love and care your pet needs! Making sure your pet is safe and well cared for is my top priority. I would love to take them on walks, play outside, and give them all the love they deserve while you're away. If your pet isn't as active or isn't an outdoor animal, I'm happy to provide indoor love and care as well.

Aliya G.
“Aliya has always made sure that my doze has had all the love and support needed to be a happy kitty. She is attentive to feeding and keeping the water bowls full! She always gives doze extra love and care. All around, she keeps my kitty happy and I feel safe leaving her in Aliya’s care when I am gone.”


Frances B.
“I know Fran Bovee to be an excellent animal lover! She has always had a dog and sometimes a cat. Many times taking care of strays and rescuing wildlife. She even makes habitat for animals. Personally, I have left my dogs in her care both at her house and as a care at mine while I am gone. When I am on vacation she would be my go to for taking care of the chickens as well. What I love most about Fran is that she has taken on my children as her own grandchildren and goes way above and beyond caring for them. I know Fran also takes care of many other pets for people, has been trusted to watch homes, and has many times worked with elderly in a multitude of ways. The last time I came to visit her she was actually sad that I did not bring my dog with me. I believe Fran to be an excellent candidate to work for Rover!”

“I’ve known Taylor for around 3 years now and she’s been an awesome person since we’ve met. She is very caring and down to Earth and is always willing to go out of her way to assist others if needed. She has taken care of my cat while I have been on vacation several times, and Pekoe loves hanging out with Taylor. She has also been great with dogs, as she has dog sat many times before in the past as well.”


Emily V.
“Emily has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! We have had her come stay at our house multiple times and the dogs have fallen in love with her. She has taken them for walks around the yard and spending time playing with them! She has been super responsive and even has sent us updates when we have been out of town! We have felt super confident having her watch our two dogs! Also, we got back from a trip and she had already left and when we let the dogs out they didn’t care that we were home, they went running around the house looking for Emily! She is definitely the person to hire!”
