House Sitting in McBride

“Emily did a great job with our pets! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day. She was available on short notice to help us out with an unexpected last minute change of plans. Our timid Chihuahua mix took to her right away! She left no trace of her stay at our house except happy pups! Thank you!”

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”

“Eden was great with all of our pets! He was super flexible. The pictures and update were greatly appreciated.”

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was little and get along with all shapes and sizes. I used to go door-to-door and no matter if it was a random dog or strays, that dog and me were becoming besties. I work from home Monday-Friday, so if you have internet, I can work there or I can just drop in. My schedule is pretty flexible, but I just need to know in advance. I can care for the pet in any way that you ask- bathing, food, potty breaks, walks, etc. I am pretty flexible with what kind of care is needed.

“Sarah was great with my dogs. She communicates well and can be trusted.”

About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your pet anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB

“Brandi was amazing! This was the first time I've used Rover, and the first time I've had someone house sit at all. She was timely, very communicative, responded quickly, and sent pictures and updates frequently. I recommend Brandi to anyone looking for pet sitting or other pet hospitality needs. I will be booking with her again.”

“Kelsey followed all of our directions, and kept us updated. When we arrived home, our pups were super happy and you could barely tell she had been there.”

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”

Charlotte G.

“Aliya took great care of our dogs and our home. Highly recommend her. She followed my directions with care and communicated with me while I was gone.”

Julie C.

“Paige is awesome! I have had her house sit, walks, and had Shylo stay with her. She has been flexible with my schedule. Shylo has a blast anytime she is with Paige. I always feel extremely comfortable when she is dog sitting for me! Would highly recommend.”

Kaitlyn T.

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”

About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.

“Chelsea was great and extremely thoughtful and prepared. Asked all the right questions prior to watching the dogs and kept me updated throughout the time I was away. This was my first Rover experience and it was definitely a positive one. Thanks, Chelsea!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a kid as I come from a big dog loving family! Starting with my personal and family experience: I have 2 dogs of my own: Pretzel who’s a Lab/Beagle mix and Wallace who is Lab/Heeler/Terrier mix! I have plenty of experience watching my sisters dogs, my best friends dogs, and my parents dogs. In college, I had a part-time job dropping in on a dog whose owner worked in the medical field and would have long shifts. I would go play with her, take her out to go potty and just spend time with her so she wasn’t alone for long periods of time! Aside from pet sitting for family and friends regularly, I don’t have a lot of experience outside of that; but it has always been a dream of mine to get a business like this running so I can spend my time doing what I love most, being around and caring for dogs! I feel comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Just some of the breeds I have interacted with are Dachshund, Beagle/Dachshund mix, Lab/Beagle mix, Rottweiler, Catahoula Leopard, Anatolian Shepherd, Goldendoodle, Lab/Doberman mix, and Pomskey. I am really excited about this new adventure and I hope you will pick me as your sitter! Currently I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, so I have plenty of time in between to spend with other pups! I hope at some point I could have this replace my current job! Unfortunately, my dogs aren’t the most friendly with others so I cannot offer services in my home. However, there is potential for me to have pets outside in my fenced in area for some outdoor playtime! Depending on my availability I am okay with overnights at your house if you are on vacation! I would treat your pets like they were my own and follow any instructions you have! Lastly, I offer dog walking services. I would love the exercise just as much as your pup would!!

About: I am a veterinary technician that has tons of experience in care of animals. Including puppy, kitten, adult, and seniors. The care and safety of animals is my goal! I have Fridays and weekends off, and absolutely love animals! I strive to work with them as much as possible and to help make a difference for busy pet owners! :) My pets are offered endless play time with enrichment activities at home! I tend to their needs and they have a strict special diet that they are required with strict amounts.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I’m home often, with a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve raised animals in my home for over 15 years, so caring for pets is part of my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just quiet company, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Pet care isn’t a chore for me—it’s something I love and make time for every day. I care for animals in my home as if they were my own—providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s my home or the client’s, I focus on creating a routine that meets each pet’s unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to make pets feel at ease, even in new surroundings. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

About: My name is Sammie, I have been involved in animal welfare for 5 years (shelter jobs/rescue) and have worked with all kinds of temperaments and have done some training/fostering and dog bathing/medical care! I love all animals and don't mind excited dogs jumping all over me. I have 3 medium/large dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with all kinds of species though! I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Willing to negotiate prices. Feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thanks! Working in shelters and fostering animals made animal care something that I am very serious and passionate about so spending the majority of my day caring for animals is something I am very comfortable and confident doing. It usually varies on the specific pet. I make sure to have owners leave me a feeding instructions and a list of their expectations for their pets care along with rules I’m expected to follow.

About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.

About: My years in the pet care field and the ability to give any meds or special needs to various issues or concerns to keep them safe and happy I am retired so I will have plenty of time to spend one on one interaction with your pet and give them the attention they deserve I will ensure that the yard is secure if fenced in or the collar is secure when walking. Cats I will be careful in opening doors to the outside.
