“Asked Mackenzie very last minute to help us out with our pups, and she came through! Reliable, communicated well, and fairly priced! We will be asking for her help in the future!”
“Lauren did a great job of watching our 2 cats while we were away! One is very shy, and the other is very particular, but Lauren did a great job letting them have their space while also making sure they had food, treats, water, etc. and sending me updates/pics each visit. Our previous rover we have used a couple times before was unavailable so we booked Lauren for the first time fairly last minute, which included visits over the Christmas holiday, so we really appreciated her accommodation. We came home to the apartment looking just as we left it. The cats are both happy for us to be back but seemed to have been well taken care of while we were away. I’d happily book Lauren again next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Ross was wonderful. My calico warmed up to him immediately when he walked in the door. He was patient with my newly adapted cats that are still hesitant around people and he got them to come out of hiding when he stopped over. So happy I found Ross for my kitties.”
“Kerrigan was our first ever caregiver through Rover this past week. She did a wonderful job! I left a few things to her judgement calls based on the weather and how our 2 dogs were doing, one being age 16 years, the other is only 1.5 years. Kerrigan is very trustworthy, and made great decisions for us. She exceeded our expectations on flexibility and excellent communication.”
About: I have had a pitbull-lab mix since April 2016, so I have plenty of dog care experience. I am most familiar with the pitbull-lab breed, but I am more than happy to care for any breed! I just need to know how the dog acts, like if it is shy/skittish, energetic, etc. I pay close attention to detail and communicate well, and I am very flexible! If at any point I notice any issue with the dog or am unsure about something, I will document it and reach out via text, unless you prefer I call or it is an urgent matter. I am a full-time student at GRCC, and will be taking 2 7-week classes in the summer before transferring to GVSU for Film & Video in the Fall. I also work as a laundry attendant at a hotel in Grand Rapids, and I usually work nights but I have open availability. Occasionally I will work early afternoons. Please contact for availability. I am unavailable to care for your pet in my own home, but I am happy to care for your pet overnight in your home, have a play date or potty break for your pet. If you have any requests, like using a particular toy or going potty in a certain area, meeting that need will be top priority.
“Jada is reliable and consistent. She did 9 drop ins for us. We’re very pleased with her care for our lil pups! She took pics and sent updates via Rover. We look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in. I am home Friday - Sunday. If I have to leave for any reason, then my husband or adult son or adult daughter are always home. I do not have small children in my home. I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.
“They did a great job with the dogs. They were really responsive and attentive. Ours was a last min booking and they responded fast. They also left a nice note for my family after the service was complete.”
“I booked Grace last minute and she was amazing! She was so sweet and loving with my dog. sent me adorable pictures and made sure everything was done exactly how I asked. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Mallory always does a fantastic job at watching my cat! She has been flexible and has helped when he has needed medication too. When she checks in on him, she actively gives him attention, plays with him, gives him treats, etc.”
“Candis is great! Both of our dogs warmed up to her right away. Communication was fantastic and we didn’t have to worry at all about the care the fur babies were receiving while we were out of town. Thank you so much!”
About: My nickname is Snow-white. Animals of all kinds have always gravitated toward me and I have always loved and gravitated toward animals. They are my passion and I want to work with that passion. I have always had animals and care for others animals often. I am highly reliable, trustworthy and will love your animals as if they were my own. I do work m-thurs regular business hours. I also have a sweet sweet rescue Golden doodle that will be with me if I stay at your home. I work m- thurs normal business hours. I am currently in a small apartment downtown I do currently have a 5 year old golden doodle shy and sweet and a senior rescue cat in my home. Just ask and we can work something out. I am flexible in how to care for them, meaning if your animal is used to be in a crate to sleep that is what I will do. My goal is to keep it as "normal" as possible for them while loving on them. If you would like me to stay overnight with your pets in your home I can! I will have my sweet non shedding doodle with me.
