“Deborah and her beautiful family did a fantastic job of caring for my dog! He was spoiled with lots of attention and play time. I was sent lots of photos and videos depicting how he adjusted and had lots of fun. I also want to mention their flexibility with pick up/drop off as well as their kindness in being able to care for him longer than planned when I was experiencing a medical emergency. They will definitely see my sweet boy again soon :)”


About: My husband and I are dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have owned our own dogs! We are currently dogless and would love to fill that itch with dog sitting your dog! I work from home and am available throughout the week to socialize with your dog and we have a house with a yard for exercise. Since I am home, I am available to do dog walks and there are plenty of woods around me to take them to explore Every dog immediately becomes our babies for the stay. Lots of love and cuddles so they feel right at home and comfortable while you are away

“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. ❤️”


“Terry and his wife took great care of Max while we were getting work done at our house. We appreciate them being able to watch him and the workers appreciate working in silence at our house. haha!”


“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!”


“Anna is incredible! We were blown away by her detail of care and wonderful communication. I couldn’t recommend her more, and am looking forward to having our dog have more time at her daycare!”


“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.”


“We are so happy we found Frances on Rover! We were in Holland for work, and we didn’t feel comfortable leaving Piper in the hotel alone for long periods of time. Frances was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which made our week so easy! Piper had a blast there playing with other the dogs, which was apparent from the pictures we received at the end of each day. I would recommend Frances and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and flexible dog sitter!”


“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.”


“Let me start off by saying….Alondra and her home setting was more than perfect for my fur baby. She communicated throughout the whole experience and made me and Nipsey feel at ease right away. Upon our meeting she opened the door and got down to my 7 lb dog’s level and sat Indian style. Nipsey was in 😍. She introduced us to her family including her black lab. They both were more than excited and got along very well. Might I add though Nipsey is small, he is not apprehensive about meeting big dogs. Before our meeting ended, I knew Nipsey was in great care with her. So….I decided to book Nipsey’s 1st ever doggie daycare day. She sent pictures over the course of his stay and Nipsey was having an enjoyable time. He clearly looked happy by the pictures. I would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you again Alondra to you and your family for taking great care of Nipsey 💕🤩”



“Ryan was great! He accommodated my pup on relatively short notice, was very communicative, and seemed to have a great rapport with my high-energy puppy. Sydney came home exhausted from playing with Ryan's dogs - in fact he didn't want to leave playtime. I would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a great Daycare experience. Thanks Ryan!”
