About: I’ve taken care of animals of many kinds since I was a little girl, I love all animals of any size! I have been taking care of my dog layla for 8 years. I have a flexible schedule and am available every day to provide pet care, as I am attending school online. This allows me to dedicate consistent and attentive time to looking after pets, ensuring their needs are met throughout the day! I am very attentive to your pet’s needs, always ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I take the time to understand their individual habits, preferences, and health requirements, so I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them at all times.

“Mary did a great job of house sitting out 3 days for almost a week, would highly recommend her!”

“Sara was great! She met twice with the pups to make sure they were comfortable with her and kept in contact while we were gone. We got pictures of our pups and they looked happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Sara to my friends”

“We had such a great experience with our dog and house sitter, Norah. She took such wonderful care of Bentley and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands. It’s clear Norah truly cares and treats your home and pets like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.”

“Six weeks before our first cruise planned for August 2025, the dog sitter that I had lined up to stay with our golden retriever, Casper, backed out on me. So I was scrambling to find a new dog sitter and turned to Rover.com. That's how we found Eileen. She was delightful and I never had a concern for the entire cruise. Casper seemed very happy in all of the pictures she sent me during our time away. Eileen was also kind enough to water my flowers and bring in the mail daily. She took care of everything including Casper. I would highly recommend Eileen for anyone looking for a kind trustworthy house/pet sitter. Chris Strawser”

“Jenny did an amazing job watching our pup in our home. It was our first Rover experience and she did a a wonderful job making me feel comfortable leaving Luna in great hands. She sent us photos and kept us updated, which was very appreciated by a neurotic dog mom. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again!”

“Annalise did a great job with Apollo and Arlo! She gave me lots of updates and was able to take care of one of puppies who was not feeling the best!”

“Jada was the best! I felt like my dogs were in great care while we went out of town for the night. Jada was great with communication and took awesome pics of our pups. Booking again!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and former animal behaviorist that specializes in house-sitting. I currently travel too much for work to have my own pets, so would love to take care of yours. I have a lot of experience administering oral and injection medications to all manner of mammals. I currently work full time during the week, so only accept house-sitting on weekends for new clients to ensure I can provide the full attention and care that meets my standards for pet care. I would love to have a consultation before beginning a house sit to ensure we’re on the same page and all your baby’s needs are met.

About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

About: Live-In House Sitting • West Michigan • July 15 – August 9, 2026 I provide reliable, live-in house sitting for pets and homes in West Michigan. Some Michigan clients may remember me from when I previously offered in-home boarding locally. I now provide that same attentive, dependable care in your home, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ve been with Rover since 2019 and am known for being conscientious, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I care for pets, homes, plants, and daily routines with consistency and attention to detail, treating every home as if it were my own. Service area: Sparta, Rockford, Belmont, Ada, Forest Hills, and northern Kent County Availability: July 15 through August 9, 2026 My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets and home are in capable, caring hands. My routine stays flexible around your pet’s needs, including walks, feedings, medications, and companionship. I may step out briefly during daytime hours, but I’m present each evening and overnight to maintain consistency and comfort. Summer Availability I provide live-in house sitting in the northern Grand Rapids / Kent County area in late July to early August, 2026. I care for pets and homes with the same respect and attention I give my own. In a client’s home, I follow established routines for feeding, walks, play, medications, and quiet time so pets remain calm and comfortable while you’re away. I keep the home clean, secure, and well organized, and I communicate clearly with regular updates. My focus is steady, trustworthy care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

“The house was left clean and we got pictures of our dog having a great time. Jersey even looked after the monarch butterflies for no charge. 😄”

“It was such a relief to know that our dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for while we had to to be out of town. The photo updates were very helpful. Thanks MJ! We will definitely request you again in the future!”

“Alissa was an excellent sitter for our crew! She was responsive, easy to work with and left my house immaculate. I will be hiring her again and recommending her to everyone I know!”

Katie H.

“Mark is outstanding. Not only did he take great care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats, but he was an excellent communicator. He sent a full written report each day and sent so many pictures. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. He was very helpful when we almost missed our connecting flight and reassured me that he would be there for us if we did miss it. We travel a lot and I will never use another pet sitter if I can help it. Mark took care of my pets like I take care of them and that’s saying a lot bc I’m a bit crazy for my furbabies. Highly recommend!”
