“We are very happy with the care our two boys received. They stayed for a week and we could tell they had a good time. We received updates and pictures through the stay. Terry even helped with our very picky eater who required more attention. We will be back the next time! Thank you so much ! ❤️”
“Derek was easy to work with and responded quickly to all communications. He updated us on how our dog was doing via text and a picture. We have a large, older puppy who did not have a lot of experience with other dogs but did great with Derek’s dogs. I would definitely use his services again. Thanks Derek!”
“Amy took care of my fur baby so well!!!! She made him comfortable and happy during his stay. I loved the updates and pictures she sent. I could tell he was being spoiled! My pup will be very excited for his next visit with her!”
“Teri was super helpful getting the critters settled and was quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Leaving my pets with Teri felt like leaving them with trusted family. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cat and rabbit. Teri went above and beyond caring for my beloved pets.”
“Breslin had a wonderful time with Christina and Micheal! They provided consistent updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of our little guy having fun. They treated Breslin like one of their own and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks 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.”

“Felix took amazing care of our dog, Zara. She still has a lot of puppy energy. She is a rescue and we have only had her two months so she is still working on her manners. Felix wasn’t fazed by this and was patient with her. He often also has other dogs staying with him and Zara loved getting to play in their beautiful yard. Zara felt right at home and we would recommend Felix to anyone!”

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.

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.

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.
“Brandi was extremely helpful last minute despite it being the busy holiday season. She is great with communication and giving extreme affection to your loved ones. I have no doubt you will be worried one bit with her in charge!”

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

“We were in town for a family reunion and needed to have Beignet & Brie cared for. So fortunate to have Terry care for our babies. They loved being there. They were happy and content and felt right at home with him immediately. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you Terry!”
About: I was raised around dogs and have been a dog owner for over 20 years. Over the years, I have provided pet care for friends and family and decided to expand my services to help other pet owners as well. I work on site 4 days a week. On the 4 days I work dogs will have a potty break after 6-7 hrs. Generally off on Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard with a fur baby of my own to keep yours company amd 2 teenagers who love to help out and spoil your four legged bestie even more. I require you bring a crate but I can provide one for a small fee. We love the outdoors in the summer, so lots of exercise for your fur baby At this time I can only care for hypoallergenic breeds in my home. I can walk and do drop ins with any breed. Feel free to inquire if you are unsure.
“Maddie is absolutely wonderful!! Our puppy loves her family just as much as they love him. This was our puppy’s third stay with Maddie and he always has a fun time with her. We know with Maddie our puppy is safe and very well taken care off. I would highly recommend Maddie anytime !”
“First time here and Cub seemed to have really enjoyed himself. He clearly played a lot with the other dogs as he was spent when we got home! I’ll for sure be bringing him back again :)”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always enjoyed having dogs and cats as pets. I truly believe a dog is the truest friend a person can have. They deserve love and amazing care! I work part-time and am available to walk dogs or dog sit most all days and times. Saturdays and Sundays are not a problem at all. 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. ❤️”
“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 :)”
“Daniel did a truly amazing job. We’re so thankful for his quick replies to our last minute request. He kept us updated and our boy had an amazing time from start to finish and slept hard that night.”
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 :)
“Can’t say enough good things about Dale and how he cares for Cashew! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for an awesome and reliable person to care for their loved ones!”
About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work from home part time. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.
“We cannot state our appreciation for Beth further— she helped us out in a complete bind. We’re not from the area and travel with our dogs often so thought nothing of it when we had a wedding to attend in Holland but one dog decided she didn’t want to be quiet in our accommodations and we were told to figure it out or be evicted from the hotel (understandable). We put the call out to a few dog sitters over Rover and Beth responded quickly with compassion and responsiveness. We were able to drop our dogs with her after a very easy-going meeting to make sure all parties were comfortable and safe. It was easy to see Beth cared and had a great operation. We were able to attend the wedding and reception afterwards with peace of mind. We just scooped up our pups and they’re completely, happily pooped. I would recommend Beth to anyone who is looking for someone with a giant heart and generous soul to take care of their pups. Thanks again, Beth!!!”

“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.”
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!

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 :)

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.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have had experience with personal animals as well as house and dog sitting for others. I have working in healthcare for a few years. I also have over 12 years of experience with horses! I am currently working part time, available for afternoons, nights and weekends. Also flexible when you need a sitter the most. 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!
About: I’ve taken care of Pets and had pets since I was 10 years old. I’m very energetic and reliable and I love walking and playing with my own pets. I am currently working only part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of attention and exercise. I have one dog that is super friendly that can be in the crate or on our bottom level. We have one outdoor cat that pretty much stays in our barn. Our kids are very good with pets and I love them. We all have experience with overnight boarding of puppies and adult dogs.
About: I’ve had a family dog for a little over four years now. I’ve dog sat many times and love being around them!! I also make sure to keep the pet owners updated and accommodate special requests they have! I’m currently a student in college but have a car and free time/nights to come and hang out with your pets! My classes are scattered so I have time in between to utilize. I’m flexible and willing to work things out if needed. When it come to caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well being. Exercise and playtime is so important and I make sure that the surrounding areas are secure and safe. I make sure to clean up any messes made too.

“Derek was easy to work with and responded quickly to all communications. He updated us on how our dog was doing via text and a picture. We have a large, older puppy who did not have a lot of experience with other dogs but did great with Derek’s dogs. I would definitely use his services again. Thanks Derek!”
“Breslin had a wonderful time with Christina and Micheal! They provided consistent updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of our little guy having fun. They treated Breslin like one of their own and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks 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.”
“Felix took amazing care of our dog, Zara. She still has a lot of puppy energy. She is a rescue and we have only had her two months so she is still working on her manners. Felix wasn’t fazed by this and was patient with her. He often also has other dogs staying with him and Zara loved getting to play in their beautiful yard. Zara felt right at home and we would recommend Felix to anyone!”

“Marissa was wonderful. She took our pup last minute. She was great at communicating & sending updates. We will for sure use her again in the future!”
“Dan was amazing with our dog Mayfield, he was flexible and accommodating with our changing schedule. We asked him to bring our dog to the beach for wedding photos and he helped make our special day complete. Dan sent regular updates and lots of photos. We could tell Mayfield really loved being with Dan and would love to stay with him again.”
“Frances did a wonderful job caring for our pup, Millie, while we were away. Millie came home happy and ready to snuggle! Frances's boys were great with the pup as well and followed all the house rules we set for Millie. That was fantastic! I definitely recommend her if you need peace of mind while leaving your pet.”
“First time Rover user, and couldn’t have had a better experience with Katherine and her family. Easy to work with, provided updates throughout the stay, and sounds like her family had a great time with our dog Bella. She definitely got the one on one attention we were hoping for, opposed to taking her to the dog kennel/boarding. Would definitely bring Bella back to her again, and recommend to anyone else!”
“Mabel had another wonderful weekend with Melvin! We appreciate his communication and obvious love for dogs! We won’t hesitate to go to him again for our dog boarding needs!”
“Kina is awesome! She watched my pup, Frankie, for a few days and gave lots of updates, photos, and videos. She treated Frankie as her own. Frankie spent lots of time playing outside and got lots of walks. I highly recommend her!!”
“Pamela always does an excellent job with Leia! She goes above and beyond to create a welcoming, warm, safe and fun environment for her. And she always comes home with a special treat!”
“Breslin had such a great time with Jayme and family! We had to book kind of last minute and she was very accommodating. The entire time we received plenty of pictures and updates on our pup and he felt right at home and very loved! Would recommend Jayme to anyone looking. Thanks again!!”
“Jacy is AMAZING! She made our sweet boy so happy. Spoiled him with constant play time and love. She communicated regularly with so many pictures. 10/10 recommend! We are so grateful for such excellent care!”
