“Had an awesome experience with Molly and her dog Izzi! She sent photos and videos throughout dog sitting at my apartment, which eased my nervousness of leaving her alone for the first time.

About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.
“Michelle was great! I needed a sitter at the last minute and Michelle was able to help out. She kept us up to date while we were gone and sent pictures. She was a wonderful house guest as well. We will definitely use her again!”
“Anna was amazing with our dog and rabbit! She kept in touch while we were away with pictures and things she was doing with them. Our house was clean when we returned home. Highly recommend!!”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?”
“Annika stayed with Vinny for a week while I was away. She was amazing! Vinny has so many medications and she did great with them all. He doesn’t require too much otherwise but Vinny was very happy when I got home! Annika was super communicative and respectful of my home while I was away. I’m grateful that I felt so comfortable with her staying over. I’ll definitely be reaching out and already have for the future. Thank you again Annika!”
“Ariel was able to watch our dog and cats on very short notice over the holiday weekend and was super communicative and sent tons of photos. We will gladly ask Ariel to watch our pets again and recommend her to anyone considering her services.”

Midtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kasidee was amazing! We were very nervous to leave our newly adopted dog with separation anxiety for the weekend, but we would rebook with Kasidee in a heartbeat! She handled our dog SO well, and she was on top of his multiple medications a day. We received multiple updates and very cute photos to ease our worries :) Bonus: we came home to a spotless house. I would recommend Kasidee to all our friends and family!
Tyler was awesome! Great communication and did a great job with my dog. Tyler was accommodating with my last minute reservation and respectful of my house. Tyler obviously kept my high energy dog busy. Her step count was great while I was away and she fell asleep within minutes of me getting home. 10/10, thank you, Tyler!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alli went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, keeping our pup engaged with new tricks and games, and clearly giving him so much love and attention. Hunzi was happy, relaxed, and mentally stimulated the entire time. It was such a relief knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely book with her again!
Hannah is so sweet to our Duke while staying with him at our home for a long weekend. She is communicative, rolled with any changes and last minute requests and our house looked the same as when we left it. Duke had his normal schedule and was relaxed and happy when we returned. Can’t recommend Hannah enough!
Jenna was excellent. She was communicative, sending a message with a photo every day and took excellent care of our dog and cat. It was the 4th of July week and our dog hates fireworks and she took extra care to give the dog meds and put on her thunder jacket. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away.
Richard did an amazing job taking care of my pup over a 6 day period. My girl Honeybee (who usually takes some time to warm up to unfamiliar men) immediately liked Richard, and was sad visibly sad to see him leave at the end. Richard’s love and understanding of animals is obvious. He kept me updated with multiple daily pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely book again!
