House Sitting in Stanton

“Six weeks before our first cruise planned for August 2025, the dog sitter that I had lined up to stay with our golden retriever, Casper, backed out on me. So I was scrambling to find a new dog sitter and turned to Rover.com. That's how we found Eileen. She was delightful and I never had a concern for the entire cruise. Casper seemed very happy in all of the pictures she sent me during our time away. Eileen was also kind enough to water my flowers and bring in the mail daily. She took care of everything including Casper. I would highly recommend Eileen for anyone looking for a kind trustworthy house/pet sitter. Chris Strawser”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter through Rover and I would definitely recommend Emily! She was very attentive and had great communication. Our dog seemed really happy and not stressed out at all with us leaving her. Looking forward to booking her in the near future.”

“This was a great experience! Betsy was easy to work with, made herself available for a meet and greet prior to booking, and was very flexible with our changing plans. She provided status updates along with pictures, and made us feel comfortable that the dogs and our house were in good hands. We will definitely work with Betsy again in the future!”

About: I have been a regular house/dog sitter since I was 13 for family friends, neighbors, family, etc. I know how important peace of mind is. That’s why I send honest, detailed updates—including photos and videos—during every visit. I listen closely and follow your pet’s routine, checking in promptly if anything unexpected arises. I am also very detail oriented and adaptable, whether it’s a last-minute schedule change, a broken leash, or a pet needing a shortcut walk on hot days—I adapt on the spot. Let’s chat about your needs, whether it's daily walks, medication management, or extra playtime. Reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet, and rest easy knowing your furry family is in capable, trusted hands. 😊 I just finished my pilot’s license and moved back home, so I have lots of time and a flexible schedule to help whenever you need! Though I don’t host animals in my own home, I’m highly adaptable to new environments, quickly picking up on house layouts, routines, and comfort zones. I value each animal’s established feeding, exercise, and rest schedules, and always respect your preferences as the owner. Whether it’s maintaining safety and structure or adjusting on short notice, I bring consistency and dedication.

About: Comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have raised and cared for my own dogs since they were puppies, including feeding, grooming, training, and daily exercise. Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I have my own dogs that I’ve raised since they were puppies, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I always make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to make sure the dog feels comfortable and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

“I’m very hesitant to have people watch my dog Jake but after 10 minutes of meeting Lane I knew she would be great! Her experience really sets her apart. I’m so grateful to have found someone that I completely trust to watch him. Lane is fantastic!”

About: My years in the pet care field and the ability to give any meds or special needs to various issues or concerns to keep them safe and happy I am retired so I will have plenty of time to spend one on one interaction with your pet and give them the attention they deserve I will ensure that the yard is secure if fenced in or the collar is secure when walking. Cats I will be careful in opening doors to the outside.

“Katelyn is amazing! Her communication was top-notch. She will be at the top of our list next time we need care for our pets. She gave us full reports on potty times and feeding. I felt so at ease with her in our home. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy our time away from home knowing that our fur babies were in good hands.”

About: I am not kidding when I say I have years of experience. I currently work at a vet, so I’m learning everyday about pets. But this experience started years ago, watching dogs, cats , hedgehogs even since age 12. I have had my share of animal stories. I have experience with sick animals so administering medicine would not be a problem. I can go on multiple walks with your animal (usually dogs but my sister walks her cat ;) And if wanted, I do run so if that is something your animals would want, we could do that. I love animals , so I will make time for them whenever I can . Whether it be a night watching your animals or just a walk to help get their energy out, I’m down for it If you just need someone to keep your animal company, I can join it for a snuggle session. Or if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for a run to get those zoomies out.

AVAILABILITY NOTICE: Important update for my past clients: While I’m not currently boarding pets in my home, I’m still available for house-sitting in your home during the summer months. Many of you have trusted me with your dogs before, and I’d be happy to care for them again, this time, in their own familiar surroundings. Because I no longer live in the area full-time, I can only accept a limited number of house-sitting clients each summer. I’ll be available in the Sparta, Rockford, Belmont, Ada, Forrest Hills area, as well as northern Kent County, June through September. Questions? Send me a text! My routine will stay flexible around your pet’s needs—walks, feedings, and quiet company when they need it most. I may go out for bit in the day hours, but will always be there for them in the evening and overnight. AVAILABILITY NOTICE: Because I no longer live in the area full-time, I can only accept a limited number of house-sitting clients each summer. I’ll be available in the northern Grand Rapids / Kent County area for up to about one month, June through September. I respect every home and pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I maintain the same routines pets are used to—feeding, walks, play, and quiet time—so they stay calm and comfortable while you’re away. I keep the home secure, clean, and organized, and I always communicate clearly about how things are going. My goal is to provide steady, trustworthy care that keeps both pets and owners at ease.

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I know how to speak their language. I am available for all dogs, old and young, big or small. I work second shift so any care that is needed before 2pm and I’m your guy. I’m willing to house sit over night as well. I offer the utmost respect for your home and your pets. I only wish to provide some company for those poor puppers stuck at home waiting. Your home and pet will be just as you left them. Just with a little less accidents hopefully.

“It was our first time using Marsha. She stayed I will book her again. She was responsive and communicated well. She sent pictures daily and walked our very active dog Track more than we requested. He loved it! She left the house neat and clean. I would recommend Marsha!”

About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.

“We have used Cher a couple times to watch and feed our dog and she has been great to work with. I appreciate that she sent pictures of our dog Max and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. As long as she is available we will continue to have her help us. Thank you!”

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”

Carter C.

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”

About: With me being hard of hearing, I always felt more connected and comfortable around animals. I know ASL (American Sign Language) and can hear fairly well. I always enjoy taking care of animals, including my own. Growing up with dogs and many cats, I’m quite knowledgeable in training puppies and kittens. Often times when my family was away on vacations, I’d take care of their pets. I love being around puppies and kittens playing with them. I’m open to taking care of pets every day of the week. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of your pets. I also care for my own pets. My cat Pepper has free range of the house doing whatever he pleases and is well cared for with me providing for his needs. My dog Charlie has been my loyal companion for many years and has brought so much joy to my family

About: I currently work full time in Grand Rapids. I have had two golden retrievers that I grew up with. Both made it to 10, so I have some experience with senior dogs. I love and miss them so much. I currently have three cats (lost one cat in 2021) and love them so much as well. I don’t have experience with bathing cats or dogs but love to cuddle and play with them. I have experience with cleaning up accidents, and cleaning up litter boxes. I work in Grand Rapids, so I’m not home during the day. However, I check their food and water at the beginning and end of the day. I also do their litter boxes either everyday or every other day. I play and snuggle daily. I keep my cats inside. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I would be keeping dogs on a leash outside while I’m outside with them.

“Brittany did a great job pet sitting for us! She paid careful attention to our pets’ needs. She showed up early and communicated with us extremely well! We loved the pictures she sent! We would definitely hire her again!”

Debbie D.

“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”
