House Sitting Swan

“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!”

Delaney S.

“Holly was wonderful with my boys! She was excellent with communication and handled all their needs. She even handled a few tiffs between them and let me know what was going on the whole week. I came home to happy healthy pups and a clean home which is all I could ask for!”

Hannah V.

“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”

Kirsten P.

“Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Becky S.

“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”

Jennie H.

“Tayler did a great job watching our dog and two cats while we were gone! She was quick to respond when I messaged her and you can tell she cares about your pets.”

“We are SO grateful that Soly was available to stay at our house for three weeks while we were away! Everything went so smoothly starting with the meet & greet. Soly arrived at our house ready with questions and took thorough notes on everything we went over. He did such an amazing job caring for our dog, Phoebe as well looking after our turtle that is housed in a 75 gallon tank. We felt very at ease with receiving regular updates on how things were going and appreciated how attentive Soly was with our pets. He went above and beyond to make sure all our plants were watered, mail was collected, and parts of the house were vacuumed and cleaned. Soly even made a special trip to the store to grab more lettuce for our turtle! After a long day of traveling, we came back to a clean house and happy pets. And a new toy and treat for Phoebe sitting on our table :) ‘Most Thoughtful Pet Sitter’ award goes to Soly. We will definitely be using him as our go-to sitter!!”

“Hannah was wonderful with our fur babies. I had a short notice trip and Hannah made herself available for a meet and greet before we left. We have a pretty extensive care list for our pets and she asked good questions during the meet & greet and loved on the fur babies while she was here. Her responses to messages are prompt and thorough. She sent lots of photos (each pet 2x per day) which let us know she was taking good care of our pets. The house looked nice and clean upon our return. I'm adding Hannah to my list of regulars to use for pet sitting and look forward to using her again.”

Teryl S.

“Thank you for watching our two pups for overnight stays! Jessica provided clear updates just frequently enough with photos along the way, which I appreciated. It was clear she had care for our fur kids and also to our house. We look forward to having Jessica back again to watch our two pups!”

Patty D.

“Skyler was awesome as always! Pleasant to communicate with, liked by my critters, very attentive to instructions, and excellent with updates on how the animals are doing. I would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I am a junior at GVSU studying Radiation Therapy. I have pet sat and dog walked for family and friends for years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from nervous chihuahuas to chunky Rottweilers! I’ve also cared for many cat personalities too. I’ve volunteered at West Michigan humane society in the cat and small animals department. I also have a love for reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 five year old Guinea pig girls, and my roommate has a Russian tortoise! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, fostering and adopting dogs, taking in barn cats, a few pet fish, and having a leopard gecko for 10+ years. I have a lot of time available, and would love to assist your family! As a busy college student- I actually have plenty of time to stay in someone’s home as I can study! I have scheduled classes 10am-3pm Tues, Wed, and Noon-2pm Thurs. I can be flexible depending on your needs. When caring for an animal in a clients home I want to understand the animals personality, needs, and quirks. I love playing with animals, giving them affection, or just being in their presence. I make sure your pet/s have plenty bathroom breaks, constant clean water, fed at appropriate times, and feel loved. I’m happy to abide by oddly specific instructions, my own animals require some silly requests :-) Every animal has different levels of trust, and I am always patient to gain that trust and not expect it. Your pets won’t be bored or lonely, I’m happy to keep them entertained!

“Michelle is wonderful with our 2 dogs. She sends frequent messages and some pictures to let us know how they are doing, which we appreciate. It gives us peace of mind while we are away from our babies.”

“Abbey was one of the best Rovers I've had for house sitting my dog!! She gave me updates every 1 to 2 days with pictures during my week long vacation, which was great! She also left my apartment exactly how I left it - dishes, towels, and bedding washed (and even made the bed!) Would definitely book Abbey again if needed :)”

“Genny took great care of our pups while we were away for the day. She kept them engaged and kept us informed with details on how they were doing and adorable pictures!”

About: I am older and very experienced with both cats and dogs from babies to senior care to transitioning.

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

“Abby was wonderful and so sweet with Cooper! She sent so many pictures and updates while I was gone. Will definitely use her again”

About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.

“Thanks again to Debbie for another wonderful few days with Ollie! He is always so so excited and happy to see her which speaks volumes to her care and love for animals.”
