House Sitting in Roosevelt Park, Grand Rapids, MI

“This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!”

“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”

About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

“Melissa was amazing and a lifesaver! We needed someone last minute and couldn’t have asked for better! She really figured out our dog quickly and sent so many photos throughout the day! We don’t know what we would’ve done without her!”

“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”

“Brooke was communicative, prompt, and professional. We came home to happy and healthy pets.”

Emily H.

“Brian did a great job despite bacon’s sass! He cleaned up her puke piles, made sure she was fed, and even brought in our amazon packages. He was very understanding of bacon’s cold cat shoulder and kept me updated throughout.”

“Kevin stayed with my 3 big boys while my wife and I were on our honeymoon. We didn't worry at all and Kevin kept us posted with updates on the boys. Would love to have Kevin sit with my boys in the future without hesitation - He did a GREAT job!”

Thomas K.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs and treats them like her own.”

“Mimi continues to be a trustworthy sitter for our dogs and does a great job with their medicine schedule and working with our one pup’s reactivity. She is an excellent communicator and we look forward to the next time she’ll watch our dogs!”

Nikki B.

“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”

Holly D.

“Hanna was AMAZING! Our dog is anxious with new people but she was so patient and understanding with him. I get nervous leaving my dog, but Hanna made me feel so comfortable. She followed all of our instructions and kept us updated with everything. She was also a great house guest! We will absolutely be using Hanna again in the future.”

Jennifer B.

“Anna was a pleasure to have back in our home to watch my boys, timely and perfect communication as always. Our favorite pet sitter and we can’t wait to have you back soon!”

About: Grew up with Saints Bernards & others, love my folks' new Havanese. Known as "the-dog-whisperer" at church. Worked a few years in a kennel. Must love dogs. Been a painter (every kind) 25 years. Band director for five. I see my folks' Havanese 2-3 times a week. Done dog-sitting, worked in a kennel. I love dogs. I'm honest -- I don't actually have a pet-friendly home. I would take them out or to my folks' who have a beautiful, large yard. I walk a lot -- I go by Cherry Park approximately three times every day. I'd love to have a canine companion when I do. I think I have dealt well with dogs that have had health emergencies -- one Retriever had a major brain hemorrhage, brought him to the ER immediately, & he lived another year. I have researched & prepared for everything I could find-- first aid, CPR, what to do with a difficult dog, what to do when an unleashed dog approaches, how to administer oral & injection medication, dog-walking, dog-bathing, clothes-washing, spare leash, treats, towel, poo bags... I think & look ahead, & prepare for everything. I love dogs.

“Took great care of Maya, gave me great updates and peace of mind on my trip. Also respected my apartment. Was a huge help and will likely use again!”

“Although it ended up not needing Kate, her patience and u deranging of our circumstances was wonderful. We look forward to using her in the future.”

Rosalie K.

“Emily was great with our pups, even our super shy girl warmed up to her! We were gone for 6 days and came home to a clean house and 2 happy pups. It makes being away much more enjoyable when you know your furbabies are being well cared for. We will definitely hire Emily again!”
