“Gave my boy a wonderful active day. Lots of walks and boy was he tired out from the day. Lots of playing and attention. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook with Samuel if we come back to this part of the state. Made our anniversary trip so easy knowing he was safe and well taken care of. ❤️”
“We were in town for a family reunion and needed to have Beignet & Brie cared for. So fortunate to have Terry care for our babies. They loved being there. They were happy and content and felt right at home with him immediately. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you Terry!”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
“Another excellent Rover.com experience this Tim for Oscar with Frances and Jeremy! I felt comfortable with them right away. Oscar was a little timid at first but they knew how to handle it. It was good for me to not stress leaving him in hotel room by himself. Good for Oscar to meet new friends (first time he actually bonded with a guy). So appreciate you being so welcoming!”
“Tango had a great time with Jennifer and her dog, Madeline when I dropped him off for a day of play while visiting Saugatuck. Jennifer has a huge yard where my pup could race around and expend all his energy (and Madeline was very tolerant of him). Jennifer took extra care with Tango when they got out of the heat and went indoors, allowing the two dogs to sleep separately and comfortable. Then Tango got to play in the spray hose for a while. He came home happy and exhausted. Jennifer is a super dog caregiver and I wouldn't hesitate to take Tango back there. She is an experienced dog sitter and also very sweet and thoughtful person.”
“It's been such a pleasure having Jacquelyn take care of our Duncan these last couple months! She regularly sends photos/videos and is sure to tell us of any anecdotal stories from that day. It's apparent that she's contributed to his training in a big way. She's intentional about creating a safe environment that is both physically and mentally stimulating. We appreciate her punctuality, flexibility, and clear passion for dog care.”
“Highly recommend Jill anytime she’s available! We will going to her as much as we can. She really does an amazing job with our pup and if I take him anywhere she would be our first pick. I wish there were more stores. 10/10 here. Thank you Jill!”
“I am so happy I found this family that truly lives Gizzy. I went on my first three day trip away from Gizzy, and Shannon and family took her in. It was perfect. So grateful for this family.”
About: I’ve owned dogs/cats and many small animals my entire life, and have pet-sit for family members most of my adult life. I love animals and my stepdaughter-in-law is a vet surgeon! My husband often jokes that my dogs get more attention than him! I currently work part-time at school, and coach part time as well, so I’m home a lot! My husband is retired and is home all the time….so your pets won’t be left home alone! I love going on long walks to the park with my dogs and taking them everywhere with me! I am home most of the time! I have 2 dogs at home, both fully vaccinated and in heartworm/tick prevention. We own 10 acres and have plenty of room for your pups to play! We can crate your dog if needed as well!
“I was really nervous about leaving Chino with a non family member for the first time but Lauryn was so great about keeping me updated and sending pictures! I was very happy with her and would recommend her again :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Our family has always had a dog and we couldn't imagine our life without them! I have also cared for our family, friends and neighbors dogs. I am a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs! We are home most weekends and are available for boarding. We have a large yard, not fenced but we take a lot of walks and have stakes in the backyard for the dogs to play outside.
About: I have had a dog since I was born. Currently we have 1 golden retriever and 1 golden mountain dog who love to play with other dogs. I work from home so our dogs are feed each morning and are let out several times a day. They play together for exercise and nap in my home office. Your dog will be loved by all members of our family. Snuggles on couch and in bed. Doggie treats when they are good. Lots of pets during work hours.
About: I currently work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part-time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement. I love walking and with my dogs getting to senior age I have to limit them to short walks. Looking to walk more and why not with your pet at my side I work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement I have a fenced in yard with 2 small dogs and a cat. They love walks and getting spoiled and would love your fur baby to be included.
“Kathé is awesome. She really cares about Gizzy like it’s her own. She took Gizzy for two long walks and even let her family interact with Gizzy. Beautiful home environment and family: what makes dog sitting the best. Thank you, Kathé!!”

Teran P.
“Teran, recently (April 2025), provided 9 days of in-home care for our elderly dog, while we traveled out of the country. Our 11 year old, 85 lb, Flat-Coated Retriever, was experiencing digestive issues, requiring close management of his diet and frequent potty walks day and night. She followed our detailed feeding, exercise and care instructions perfectly and provided him with tender loving care. She put us at ease by providing frequent updates and pictures of him while we were away. Teran proved to us that she is diligent and trustworthy to be in your home and to care for your family pet. Given this experience, I would highly recommend her services.”
