We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

“Teri was GREAT! We will definitely use her services again. We came home a day early and she refunded us for a full day. That was unexpected and very kind. I would give her more stars if I could! Thanks Teri :-)”
“This was Fergus’ first time with Felix and I felt assured the whole time that he was in good hands. The photos & videos were great & I could tell Fergus was having a good time. Highly recommend”
“Daniel immediately hit it off with my boy Blue, normally Blue likes people but as soon as Daniel took his leash he was see ya later Dad. Daniel sent updates and pictures which I wasn’t expecting but appreciated. Also I loved the fact that blue got lists of exercise to to point he sleep for 12 hours. Highly recommend Daniel. David Prescott”
“I am very happy to have found Stephanie! She watched Goldie for 5 days while we traveled out of state. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. She sent pics and kept us updated. I’m sure Goldie got all the attention she wanted! I have already booked the next service! I trust Stephanie and would recommend her.”

“She was great, flexible and sent pictures of our dog while away! Her home is close to downtown Holland. Perfect location for our overnight stay in Holland. Thank you”
“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”
“Madelyn was absolutely fantastic! So communicative and on top of it -- and with two young kiddos!!! She even taught Trooper a trick and was able to accommodate my flight delay. I'm so grateful for her and will def rebook!”
“Thank you Megan for being a wonderful dog sitter for Coco! I was worried about leaving her for the first time and you eased my concerns very quickly on the phone. Appreciate all the pictures and text while we were away. That helped us know she was happy & being well taken care of with walks and snuggle time. I will highly recommend you to my friends & anyone looking for a sweet dog sitter (without pets of her own). Again a huge thank you! We will be in touch in a few weeks to schedule another over night stay for Coco. Karen”

“I came to Grand Rapids on a last-minute work thing and didn’t want to leave Roxy in the hotel alone for 4 to 6 hours in the evening. I reached out to a couple of folks on rover and Miranda was one of the first ones that replied and was able to take Roxy. This was my first time as a doggy dad leaving Rox with with somebody I didn’t know. We met Miranda at her house and after meeting her found that she is truly a really nice person that truly loves animals and made it easy for me to leave her there. Roxy took to her almost immediately. I picked Roxy up the next morning and everything was great. She’d been walked and had play time few times and she was her normal goofy happy self. Great job!”

About: **Compassionate Vet Tech Providing Trusted Care for Animals of Every Kind** If it has paws, hooves, feathers, scales, or fins, I'd love to care for it. Animals have always been my passion, and working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and experience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care for pets with a wide variety of needs. Whether your companion is young and energetic, a senior needing extra patience, or has special medical requirements, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I believe every animal deserves to be treated like family. My goal isn't just to meet their basic needs, it's to build trust, keep their routine as normal as possible, and give them plenty of affection, enrichment, and individualized attention. I'm experienced caring for many different types of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, small mammals, and other companion animals. I'm comfortable administering many medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, following detailed care instructions, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Whether your pet loves hiking, playing fetch, exploring the outdoors, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby who understands them, I'll tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. I know how much your animals mean to you because mine mean the world to me. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing animals! P.S. if you have animals other than dogs and cats that need care, (ex: horses, livestock, reptiles, exotics, etc.) please contact me and we can discuss prices/frequency/etc! :) Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I worked in veterinary clinics for about 10 years as well as grown up on a farm, so caring for animals is something I do both professionally and personally. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring, so I love bringing dogs along for adventures when it's appropriate for their personality and energy level. I build my schedule around providing reliable, attentive care, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of love, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment, so I take the time to learn their daily schedule, preferences, personality, and any special needs before you leave. I provide attentive, individualized care that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and affection. Having worked in veterinary clinics for about 10 years and grown up on a farm, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, energy levels, and many medical needs while also recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. I treat every home with the same respect I would want for my own, keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions you provide. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I'd give my own animals.
“Ashel took great care of my cat. I appreciated that she suggested a meet and greet in advance, and she was very patient with my very shy/anxious cat. While I was gone, she was communicative and easy to get a hold of.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember, from cats and their kittens, to hamsters and Guinea pigs, squirrels, mice and of course dogs. I’ve had a few cats of my own and currently have an almost 9 year old pitbull and 10 year old cat. I also have experience with deaf animals (I had a beautiful deaf American bulldog Staffordshire terrier mix) and am very comfortable giving medications/shots. My dog is also reactive so I’m very familiar handling those kinds of situations. I’ve always thrived around animals and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving on as many as I can. I’m open to anything, walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home. If your pets are happy so am I! I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and I’m hoping to get as many hours with animals as I can get! I am only looking to go to others homes, my home is not big enough for a large crowd of animals unfortunately. I am more than happy to drive to/stay at others homes to take care of their fur babies. I treat every animal like they are my own and follow owners guidelines very closely

“Jacy was absolutely fantastic! Cinder had an amazing time with her. She sent frequent updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Her home and yard were the perfect place for pups to run, play, and have a great time. What really set her apart was how she went above and beyond. At the end of the day, she surprised us with a few printed photos of Cinder to take home, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and the people who trust her with them. We could tell Cinder was happy, well cared for, and having an absolute blast.

About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love taking care of them.

About: I’ve owned and been around dogs my whole life. They truly are my favorite animal and I love all breeds and genders. I am a student at GVSU so I’m not able to see my dogs every day which is very hard for me. I love spending time with dogs, they bring me so much joy. When I was 6 my family got a German Shepard puppy named Sophie and she lived to be 14 years old. I got my other dog Diesel for my 16th birthday as a puppy. I took care of him and trained him up until I went to college. I also have a small dog, Gunner, that I’ve helped train and take care of when he was a puppy. I have also owned rabbits and hamsters. I’m a full-time college student so my schedule can be busy some days and empty on other days. I can take time in between my classes to walk and or take care of a dog. Safety is my biggest concern when caring for my dogs and other peoples dogs. They are members of the family so their safety is very important to me. When caring for my dogs I pay attention to their body language. For example, when my dogs were puppies I would let them out after they ate and drank and made sure to watch for excessive sniffing. I also play inside and outside with my dogs. My dog Diesel loves to go and get a pup cup from Starbucks so we also do that often!
About: After getting my family pitbull/boxer 8 years ago, I’ve become extremely confident and comfortable with animals. I absolutely LOVE caring for animals! For a couple years I worked as a pet care technician, so I know all about pet care. Along with caring for my own dog, I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat and family friend’s dogs for years. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring companionship, health, and happiness for my furry friend through feeding, walks, playtime, and affectionate moments. I will care for my clients pets like they are my own babies. I’ll give them as much love and attention as they’re willing to receive :)
“Annette is great at communicating and is very reliable. She is also amazing with our dog who is quirky and has quite a few health issues! We are very grateful for her.”

I am willing to make an exception if you live close. When I am at a clients home I prefer a detailed list of instructions based on the animals needs and routines. This will help me to better take care of the animals.

“Buddy and Fritz had a wonderful stay with Derek. They were both happy and exhausted when we picked them up. He kept us updated via texts and pictures. We will definitely book with Derek again.”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

“Beth was very sweet and friendly! Super helpful and happy to have my 13 year old girl Sage. Her house is clean and quiet and relaxing for my old girl, which I really appreciated! Very helpful that she has a fenced in yard. I will be definitely be sending Sage to Beth's again!”
“She was great, flexible and sent pictures of our dog while away! Her home is close to downtown Holland. Perfect location for our overnight stay in Holland. Thank you”
“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”
“Madelyn was absolutely fantastic! So communicative and on top of it -- and with two young kiddos!!! She even taught Trooper a trick and was able to accommodate my flight delay. I'm so grateful for her and will def rebook!”

“Hachi was super excited to be back again! He’s already comfortable and being happily greeted by Lexi was wonderful. Pamela will love and care for your Fur baby.
