“Logan was outstanding!! She sent several updates each day which let me know that she understood what was needed to make someone feel secure. I would not hesitate to trust her with my dog moose and my home again.”

“I was very happy with the job Rachel did for me when she came to my home and pet set for Flash. She left the house in great condition and took excellent of him. She was there for 6 days.”

“Jamie was great with our anxious pup! We’ve been working on her separation anxiety and Jamie was understanding and didn’t make us feel like overbearing dog-parents.”

“Sunnie (Anissa) was so wonderful with my Theo staying overnight multiple days who has complicated medicine, needs lots of cuddles, and is a bit of a scaredy-cat (he is a dog fyi). Sunnie followed my instructions and Theo didn’t seem at all stressed when I came back. Sunnie was easy and quick to get in touch with and kept me updated. Sunnie was great at making sure he was ok with firework noises. Sunnie also was wonderful for some drop in walks with him as well. I am so thankful to have found Sunnie and feel quite relaxed and happy when he gets to be with Sunnie!”
“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”

“Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!”

“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Connor stayed for 10 days with our large friendly dog and three cats. He did a fantastic job. Iur animals are admittedly a bit spoiled but Connor made sure that he understood their needs and took very good care of them. They were all relaxed and clearly liked him by the way they interacted with him even after we got home. He sent a nice photo and check in to us every day of our trip and made sure to ask questions and permissions about the pets’ care. We usually only leave our pets with family so this was a big deal for us. We will definitely use Connor in the future!”

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“We are so grateful to Christie and her daughter. They give so much love and attention to Roxy while I’m away! Christie is a terrific communicator-she sends photos and keeps me updated when I’m traveling. I really could not ask for a more thoughtful and contentious care taker. She’s an absolute gem.”


About: Hi! I’m Jeff I currently have 8yo black/white male Husky named Thorik and a 5yo red/white female Husky named Willow. Willow is actually my sisters dog and stays with her, but her and Thorik are together every day out at our family’s place. They are both well balanced dogs and will get along with anyone who decides to come for a visit. They will kiss you to death though so be prepared! I live on my family’s 180 acre old farm in the country just outside of the Otsego/Alamo area. I am out there every single day, especially in the Summer months, so that Thorik has a safe place to play and swim if he wants. Should you decide to book with me, and with your permission, your pets can enjoy unlimited fenced in yard time along with as much swimming as they’d like! I currently work for a Petcare provider here in Kalamazoo. My week consist of multiple visits for multiple clients a day, this does however allow me plenty of time throughout the day to return home and take care of anything I need to, your pets included! Out at the farm I do have a fenced in backyard away from the road that provides the dogs, a safe, secure place to play. Any time the dogs are not outside playing, or they are at my apartment in the evenings, they are inside the house with me free to do as they please.

Theresa is the best sitter we have had.. She only watch one of our dogs this time.. She had one to one time to devote to Coco..She also got to spend many snow days with her.. She does a great job and keeps us posted daily, sends lots of pictures and videos. Coco loves TT. Our house is spotless when we come home. I felt bad that it snowed so much while we were gone and was so cold. I have told her more than once “you’re the bestest sitter we have had”. Thanks TT
It had been a while since Leah had come and stayed with our pups and we were happy to have her back while away for the weekend. We can’t recommend her enough. If you want to return to happy dogs, a clean house and have someone who is proactive with communication and loves to send pics, she’s your gal!

AMAZING!! Kimberly is so sweet and her passion for our babies is genuine❤️ Our Henry is just a pup so he needs lots of extra attention, not just with play but also obedience training. Kimberly is so patient with him and treats him just like you would a young toddler. She loved on him, had lots of fun & snuggles, and communicated with text update & pictures. We will definitely be seeking her out again! Thank you, Kimberly, for allowing us an stress-free date night! I had no concerns leaving our boy with you!!

Jess was very dependable. Our dog is a little old and set in his ways and Jess was patient with him. She was able to get him moving while we were gone even though he had just met her. We especially appreciated how well she kept us informed about our dog while we were away. We will call on Jess again and recommend her to others.

Kristen was a lifesaver for my household when I had to extend my trip due to a family emergency. She didn’t hesitate to continue house-sitting since it worked for her schedule. I was able to easily focus on my family knowing that my two cats were safe and comfortable in Kristen’s capable care. She is responsible and communicative, even watering a houseplant that she noticed was parched. I will happily continue working with Kristen whenever I need my cats looked after!

We recently moved to the area and was nervous on finding a new sitter for our three pups. We found Genna on Rover and set up a meet and greet prior to scheduling. The pups immediately approved of her and so did we. She asked all the right questions that made us feel at ease. Genna stayed at our house, while attending school and working during the day, all while keeping our pups on their daily schedule. She provided daily updates along with pictures. Genna treated our pups as if they were her own. We highly recommend Genna for your pup sitting needs. She took care of our babies and our home.
