“Hanna did a great job with our puppy! He was four months and needed a lot of extra love and care and she was willing to do it all! She sent lots of pictures and followed all the instructions we left for her. She communicated quickly and always responded within a few minutes. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Emily is the best! She took care of our 4 fur babies who are all very different! They clearly loved having her take care of them. She goes above and beyond and we’ll definitely use her again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.”

“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!”

“Marigold watched my three dogs and house over a weekend. She sent photos and kept me updated on the dogs well-being. She was respectful of my house. I highly recommend Marigold.”

“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”

“Tayler did a great job watching our dog and two cats while we were gone! She was quick to respond when I messaged her and you can tell she cares about your pets.”

“Caroline was great! Communication with her was prompt and easy. My house looked like no one had even been here. It was so clean when I got back, but the biggest thing is my mini bernadoodle took to Caroline almost immediately and she doesn’t always do that. I receive plenty of text and pictures about how things were going because I was very nervous as this was my first time and Caroline was great at that. She stayed with my puppy the whole time which was something I really wanted. We will definitely be using her again..”


“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!”


About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets with special needs. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m a Senior Finance student at GVSU with a remote schedule. Looking to take on more responsibilities while I have a flexible schedule to do so. I maintain a safe, calm environment and closely follow each pet’s routine and care instructions. I’m attentive to behavior, medication needs, and comfort, whether caring for pets in my home or theirs.
“Kevin did an excellent job watching Rocky and Annie! They seemed happy , not stressed on our arrival. He communicated well and sent updates. The pups gave him 4paws each.”

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, race and draft horses, chickens, cows, rabbits, hamsters, guinea Pigs, goats, snakes, birds, llamas, a monkey and lots of other creatures. I’d love to be able to help with your pet care needs. House sitting includes: Staying in your home with your pets. This means there needs to be a clean bed or place to sleep. While your pets will be in my care I will still need to be able to accommodate other responsibilities. Your pets will not be left for more than 7hours at a time. If your pets require 100% around the clock care, I unfortunately will not be able to accommodate this. Meet and greets are required before booking starts. Thank you so much for your time. Im currently working part time in the Newaygo area and only accept house sittings. This helps allow me to concentrate on the animals I’m caring for. I love meeting new animals! I make sure to provide a safe environment where your animal will feel confident and less stressed. I have experience administering medications and very detailed feedings. I like to pay attention to the pets routine so that they can have a sense of comfort while you are away.

“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”
