About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, and small animals, and I can offer tailored services depending on your pet's needs.

I currently work from home and would not be gone for periods of time greater than a couple hours. Since we're home a majority of the time and have our own pets to care for, we welcome short notice visits. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I promise to provide the same care and attention that I give my own pets.
“Again an amazing experience. Franklin loves being with his friends Roxy and Paco. At the end of the day he’s pooped and is fast asleep. Highly recommend working with Mimi!”

“I am so happy I found Pam here in Grand Rapids. I just moved here and needed to get my little guy set up with a doggie sitter. Pam has been wonderful letting Charlie come for two short visits to get comfortable before he stays for a week while I travel for work. Pam sent me regular updates on how Charlie was doing throughout his stays. Charlie has fit right in with the rest of her crew and came home happy has a clam after both stays. I have no doubt that he will be perfectly safe and happy while I am out of town!”

“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.
“Would 11/10 recommend Lauren to watch your fur babies. My dog had a blast playing with her sweet golden! She also sent pictures and updates which made me feel at ease throughout the day. Will book again!”

South East End dog parents share their Rover experiences
Josh was so honest and informative concerning our 10 mo old pup’s not so nice behavior while in his care. He understood her “impoliteness” with his other guests and explained it to us. Our goal is now more socializing with other dogs (away from us). Thank you, Josh.
Rachel was very patient and gentle in dealing with our Lucy. Lucy is a 15 year old senior dog and dealing with her is similar to dealing with a 90 year old grandma. I could tell that she was comfortable and at ease with her stay with Rachel. Rachel is understanding of a dog's needs and can be trusted to provide the best care possible for your dog. Rachel does a good job.
Angie has been watching our puffy Rose during the week for the past couple of months, and she's been fantastic! Rosie has come home happy and well cared for everyday
Brittany is an awesome dog sitter!! Great communication, knowledgeable about dogs and very friendly. Highly recommend. I hope Moe can go spend a day with her again soon.
Susan and her family took great care of Winston for an overnight visit. My pup had a great time playing with their dog and came home exhausted from running around their big fenced in property. I highly recommend her!
