About: Hello my name is Mimi! I am 23 years old I live with my husband and his family and we have three dogs and three cats. Paco and Roxy are oldest dogs they are about to turn 3 years old In March and we just got our puppy scrappy he is about to be 4 months old. We have three cats sunshine, melody, and snowy that are also going to be turning three years old this year. I work part time at Chow hound I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to working for rover as well. I have always loved animals my whole life but I grew up in apartments so never really got the chance to have pets of my own other then just small animals such as rabbits,hamsters,ferrets, and guinea pigs. Then once me and my husband got together we got pups and cats and we been really happy with them sometimes they are rebellious but they are also what brings joy into our lives. Also back when I started Rover I started it because since I couldn't have dogs or cats of my own I was like why not help people that need help with there pets so that's when I got introduced to Rover getting to do what I love to do and help others! I am working part time at Chow hound and also work Rover my job they are very flexable! If it is necessary I do request days off if needed! I try my best to give my clients dogs a good time and respect there home if I do housing sitting jobs and as for when I have my clients over dogs over I just let them play with my pups and it’s great I enjoy seeing my dogs socialize with other dogs.
“Hanna was great with Momo. Always on time, tons of photos :), very descriptive about what she took care of while she was with him. And he seemed to be happy and chubby when we got back, just the way we left him!”
“Madison was awesome- as usual- with our critters. Our dog is even injured and she took extra care with him while he’s healing from his injuries. We love having her take care of our pets when we are out of town. And she sends the best photos of them too! 😂”
“Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!”
“Thank you Ricardo! Excellent service checking in on my dog.”
About: I am a dog loving person who can get along with any animal. I have taken care of past neighborhood dogs for weekends and walks. I also had a dog growing up for the past 13 years. I currently work full time in office Monday-Wednesday. I work from home Thursday and Fridays so I have lots of flexibility. I’m free most weekends. I am very attentive to your dog’s needs. Any special requests for your dog I can do and make them feel confortable in their home.
“Deanna was the best Rover we have ever used! She took such good care of Koda and P and really made it easy for us to not worry while we were away on vacation. She took took great update pictures and detailed every drop in. She even vacuumed our carpet and swept our floors to clean up. We definitely recommend using her and will be reaching out to her whenever we need our future Rover!”
About: I love all animals, and especially enjoy meeting new dogs! At home, I have two senior cats as well as a bunny, and get a lot of joy from spending time with them. Over the years I've lived with dogs, which has given me great dog-sitting, walking and training experience. Since losing my beloved family dog, I look forward to having more time with dogs again! I work full-time during the week, but my hybrid work schedule gives me some flexibility. I am able to take midday breaks, or am available for early mornings and evenings with no issue. I am also available most weekends and am happy to schedule in advance. I approach all creatures with a calm demeanor and treat them as if they are my own! I believe that trust is built over time, and that our animals deserve love and respect. Like humans, every animal is unique in their preferences and personalities, and I embrace learning about pets in this way during every interaction.
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.
“Kevin took excellent care of our furbabies while we were on vacation! Punctual, communicative, and shared photos and details of his visits that helped us feel confident that our girls were in good hands. Will use Kevin for pet care services in the future.”

“Cara is especially great when it comes to caring for animals. I can say this first-handedly from my experience with her caring for my dog, Bella. Bella is not just a pet, she is part of our family. For this reason, we will not leave her with just anyone. Bella is very energetic and Cara does a great job managing her excitable and spunky demeanor. Cara and Bella have enjoyed many walks together on both bike paths and through trails, and I anticipate many walks to come in the future. I highly recommend you contact Cara for your dog walking needs!”

Taylor was awesome! Took excellent care of our cats. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
Great communication and sitter. We were so relieved while on our trip to leave our puppy in her care. Always thorough and sent photos each drop in. Would definitely book again!
Lauren was super responsive and really helped me out when I couldn’t take care of my brothers dogs. Highly recommend!
Was extremely flexible and willing to work with my reactive, high-anxiety dog to build trust before house-sitting. Thanks again!
Rebecca was amazing! Super communicative and kept me updated all week with how my cat was doing, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares and went above and beyond. I'll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend.
Colene did a great job with our dog and cat! She showed up on time, followed all of the instructions we left her and there were no issues whatsoever! We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Colene!
Brittany was really flexible with time changes. She checked in during her visit about Niko just chilling but once she found the frisbee he found a new friend.
Willa loves Hanna! She is great at asking questions to make sure your pet has everything he/she needs and is such a sweet person! I recommend Hanna to everyone!
Jacqueline was awesome and took great care of my kitty (and my plants and garden, too)! She's wonderful and we'll definitely continue to book her! :-)
Olivia was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my cat with someone outside of friends and family, and Olivia was able to put my mind at ease. Communication was great, and I could tell Sebastian really warmed up to her based on the photos and updates she provided. It was comforting knowing Bash was in such great hands. Olivia went above and beyond. Would be more than happy to have her care for Bash again!
Five stars just isn’t enough!! Thank you for putting up with our weird little guy and his love of feet! What a creepy critter!!
Kayla has been amazing to work with! Her drop-in services for our dog have made all the difference for our family. Her communication is great and the pictures she sends are so appreciated. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
Brigit has helped us out with walking our golden retriever multiple times. She is always easy to communicate with and takes great care of our pup! Highly recommend.
Grace is amazing! Our dog is anxious and Grace does such a great job with him. He always seems to miss her when she leaves!
This was our first time using Rover, and Sophia made it a great experience! She took amazing care of Dezzi and Koa, and it was clear how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. We really appreciated her updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She left us the sweetest note. Sophia is kind and reliable. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets like they’re her own, we can’t recommend her enough.
Rosie (aka Sarah) was excellent with our three energetic pups! They had fun and Rosie went the extra mile caring for them and making sure they were safe!
