Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

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 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 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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 17. I own 1 and 1 cat. I worked at a pet store for 2 years and loved all the animals coming in and out ❤️ I Range from working part time to full time but I am very flexible!

I do not have a fenced yard, though I do have a nice large back deck that we can enclose pets in to enjoy the outdoors while being safely locked in. We also live on a very quiet street with virtually no traffic and I love taking my own dog, Julie, for walks in the woods. She would love company! I have reliable transportation to pop in at your home for potty/ play breaks or for waking your dog in your neighborhood.
“Gave my boy a wonderful active day. Lots of walks and boy was he tired out from the day. Lots of playing and attention. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook with Samuel if we come back to this part of the state. Made our anniversary trip so easy knowing he was safe and well taken care of. ❤️”
“Great experience so far with Jacy. Our usual sitter was unavailable for boarding for the weekend we needed so we went looking for someone else. I'm always on the fence with new pet sitters as we had a terrible experience previously with someone else on Rover. Jacy put me at ease the moment we walked through her door for our meet and greet. I could tell immediately she truly cares for animals and it isn't just about making extra income. She uses an intake form to get all of the necessary details she needs to provide the best care for your pets. My Aussie is very anxious so she suggested doing a daycare day just so she could sniff around and get familiar with her home and the other animals there before she stays for the weekend. She had a great day! Jacy provided updates and pictures through out the day and it was clear Luna was having a great time. I'm sure her weekend stay will go great and we're so happy to have found Jacy!”
“Ben was great! Our “Li’l Dude” came home happy and tired from an active day! Ben generously offered to run Li’l Dude back to our campground, saving us time and a drive! We are already planning our next booking with Ben while we are vacationing in the area! Thx!”

About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.
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 :)
“Jenn did a wonderful job caring for our anxious dog Isaac! I appreciate that she did a meet and greet with us at a local dog park before Isaac's stay, it really help put our minds at ease. Isaac liked Jen immediately and seemed happy to arrive back on his second day of daycare. We plan to continue to use Jen in the future!”
“Cub had another fantastic play date with his friend Mabel! I know he’s treated well because he gets super excited when we show up to their house! He’ll be looking forward to the next hangout :)”

Also during holidays. :) I plan to take care of your beloved animals, keeping them to their normal routine as much as possible. I plan to keep their environment clean. I hope to take them on walks, and their favorite activities!

“Derek did a great job watching our dog for a week. He has an awesome place with a nice fenced in back yard. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with him and will use him again in the future.”
“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
“Felix was AMAZING with our Rose! She is a big puppy and it was her first time away from home, but he was great with her. He took her on walks daily, and sent updates regularly to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use Felix again!”
“We have dogs with some specific needs / requests and Maddie was able to accommodate those and take great care of our girls. She seemed very qualified and in tune with their behavior. Our dogs are prone to UTI’s and she noticed an issue during the stay, and was very communicative and helpful in getting our dog the care she needed. Would recommend Maddie :)”
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Beth! We had a couple schedule changes and she was more than accommodating. We will be very happy to use her to watch our doggies whenever shes available!”
“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.

About: I have nearly 5 years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for family and friends. I’m attentive to feeding routines, fresh water, and keeping litter boxes clean so cats stay comfortable while you’re away. I respect each cat’s personality—whether they enjoy playtime or quiet company—and I also have experience giving oral medications if needed. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care you can trust Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my schedule at Grand Valley State University. I’m completely available Friday through Sunday, available after 12 PM Monday through Wednesday, and after 4 PM on Thursdays. I’m happy to plan visits around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive consistent attention and care while you’re away When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are safe before leaving, keep their space clean, and communicate with updates so you feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and reliable experience for both you and your pet.
“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“We used Rover and Frances for the first time. We scheduled a week long, twice day stop ovwr to fred our cat. A few days later, we scheduled a sleepover for our puppy as sort of a trial run.”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“Kina was so great, replied fast, and was extremely caring and accommodating for my last minute booking. She took such good care of my grandmas dog and made sure to send plenty of photos and videos! Would highly recommend her to anyone”
“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. Hachi was happy to be back because he has so much fun there. Pamela captures your fur baby’s fun time and share those cute pictures with you. We will be back all the time now, since we found such a happy and loving place to board him when needed. Thank you Pamela!”
