House Sitting in Little Rapids

About: I’ve had and been around dogs all my life, from free roaming farm dogs to the most spoiled Pomeranians. I’m the guy who has treats and a leash in his car just in case I see a loose dog running around or hear there’s one nearby. I’m the guy who will remember your dog’s name, but probably not yours. I’m the guy pet owners warn that their dog is anxious of people, only to watch their dog sense my immediate love for them. I work as a freelancer, so my availability is mostly wide open outside of some specific appointments and projects that will be noted in my profile. In your home, I will follow any patterns and schedules you request to maintain a consistent experience for your dog. I have three dogs in my home consisting of two puppies and one senior, so I will not be hosting any appointments here at this time.

“Jenna did great with all 7 of my animals- including a medically needy dog that needed monitor with food/water intake/and medications. Jenna kept the house clean, helped with extra stuff, as well as dealt with house malfunctions. Will definitely use and recommend Jenna to care for your animal needs.”

“Tina was amazing staying with my dogs! She’s like an elderly dog whisperer and dealt with an unexpected snow storm and potty accidents with love and care. My dogs were so happy, would book again anytime!”

Rebecca L.

“Kaitlyn was our first booking through Rover, so of course this was our first experience with Kaitlyn. We most definitely would book with her again. She is a very pleasant, responsible, trustworthy person. She was easy to keep in touch with during the time she stayed with our dog, Stan, and communication beforehand was likewise easy. She gave him his pills with no issues, contacted me when he started scratching his ears, and the cleaned his ears. We like Kaitlyn very much.”

“Samantha did such a great job caring for my dog and my home while I was out of town. She gave me updates letting me know when she arrived and when she left. I didn't worry about the wellbeing of my dog during my entire trip. My place was just the way I had left it. She probably left it a little cleaner. lol. I'd definitely use her services again next time I need a sitter. Thanks Sam!!! ?”

“Kerstyn was amazing! She sent us photos, videos and updates daily of our yorkies. She enjoyed snuggling, playing and taking them for walks. We really appreciated the communication and care for our dogs and would highly recommend and use her again when we go out of town. Thanks again!!”

About: I love to walk, so active dogs who also love it are perfect for me! I am adventurous and am up for longer walks. Learning a pets personality means a lot to me, so that I am able to tend to their wants and needs. I am very patient with young, adult, or senior pets. Enrichment is very important to their happiness and I am happy to provide that for them. Although i’m not a professional trainer. I am capable of teaching simple commands and will encourage commands that are taught. I have plenty of time to spare, given I just got back from a month long trip and need some time to settle back in to my daily life. For the next while I will have plenty of availability. What better way to spend my time? I always carry treats on me for play, learning time, or just being the best pup/kitty. In a clients home I am more than repectful of said requirements. I will always make sure your baby gets their meal on time, and always has water. I will always clean up after them. They will never get bored, all of my attention will be focused on them to ensure they are always engaged while you’re gone. My goal is to make you and most importantly your babies happy, because then I am too!

“We were so happy with Ava as our dog sitter! She kept the house spotless, checked in regularly, and sent the sweetest pictures of the boys while we were away. Most importantly, they were calm and happy when we got home — a true sign they were well cared for. Highly recommend!”

Jordan S.

“Seriously the best sitter we have had in quite a while. She watched our two rescues (who can be a handful) and she was prompt, sent lots of updates, and tired our dogs out. Couldn’t have asked for more, totally recommend!”

Matt S.

“Sarina did a fantastic job watching our dogs. This was our first experience with rover and she made it a good one. She was very caring. I will definitely will be using her to book any future trips.”

Cece S.

“Kirra was great! Helped us out with a last minute request for the weekend and sent plenty of photos.”

Claire F.

“Alisha did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs in my home. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I will be sure to use her again.”

Candace C.

“Macy was amazing! She was so thorough, wonderful with communication, and took great care of our two pups! We are so thankful for her kindness and care. I would highly recommend Macy, and we will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you, Macy!”

Erica M.

“This is the first time Sarah has taken care of Sasha & she was nothing less than great! Communication was great, she was able to stay at my place like I preferred sasha was comfortable in her surroundings & she also stayed an extra night due to bad weather conditions! If highly recommend Sarah to watch you fur child!”

Kari B.

“Mickayla is amazing! She was totally willing to be flexible and helped out a lot on our wedding day. We were able to enjoy the day knowing our dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely continue to ask Mickayla for any dog sitting needs in the future. Thank you again!!”

About: I was born into a dog family and have been exposed to animals of all sorts starting at a very young age. I have had five dogs in my life. The one that meant the most to me was the one I raised myself. Her name was angel and I started raising her when I was only eight years old. My aunt had a litter of puppies and was giving them away to family and friends, I had gotten an Angel and since then she had been my best friend. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 19 years old due to breast cancer, but she was my responsibility throughout her lifetime. I had only gotten her when she was a few weeks old, and I had the patience and caring heart to take care of her until the day that she passed. I also had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a pitbull /basset hound mix, and a pitbull who only had three legs. Each one of these animals has had a big impact on my life. I have also had many experiences taken care of other animals besides dogs and cats, including, not limited to snakes, wildlife, fish, hamsters, gerbils, birds, etc. I take special care to each animal that is in my responsibility because I believe that each animal should have their own individual cares met, as well as their own happiness and satisfaction met in life. I work full time as a Team Lead at Paragon Community Services. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday with no weekends or holidays. I am available on weekends and holidays unless I am scheduled as unavailable. I am also open to evening services after work :) I will always follow the owners instructions as that is my main priority. Any directions given to me will be well followed! I know crate training, walking on leashes, how to operate bark collars, really anything you will use for your pet and if I don’t I am always able to learn!

About: I have grown up with 1-2 dogs since I was 5 years old and helped my parents train our second dog when I was 11. I love watching my parents dogs whenever they need and I have two dogs of my own that are my fur babies. I am a nurse who works 3 days a week and every third weekend so I usually have most of the week available. I love dogs and would really enjoy this experience in my free time. I have a fenced in yard and have two dogs of my own that would love to have a friend to hang out with. I also have a kennel if needed, and can section off parts of the house with dog gates. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

About: I have been caring for dogs for my entire life. I have had two family dogs throughout my life, and when I moved out I adopted my own puppy, Maple. I have experience caring for multiple different breeds, ages, and sizes! Ages range from 2 months to 16 years old. I have always been a lover of animals, especially dogs. I also do have some experience with cats, but not quite as much. I have experience caring for both kittens and older cats. I am only working part-time roughly 2-3 shifts a week as a server, 3-5 hour shifts at a time. Leaving me with plenty of time to closely attend to any pets I am caring for. I provide every animal with a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment whether in my own home, or in a clients home. Making sure the animals are comfortable and well taken care of, with all of their needs met while in my care is what is most important to me. I care for every animal with the same love and respect as I would for my own animals. As well as my home is a decorated to provide a safe, hazard free environment for all animals.

About: I worked for a dog kennel in high school and love animals - I’d be happy to come spend time with your fur babies any time. I know how special the relationship with a pet can be. I have two cats at home, and my sister has had many dogs I’ve bonded with. I hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently not working and have lots of time to spend with your furry friends! I have previously worked at a kennel and I’m happy to help your pup run off some energy and get in some exercise during the day. I would be happy to come to you to care for your animal. I have time and I’m happy to keep them in their familiar surroundings for a walk or some playtime!

“5 star communication- very understanding when my pup wasn’t feeling the greatest and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. A+++ 🫶🏼”
