Highly-rated overnight sitters - Byron Center
“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation. Christina was an excellent communicator and was very flexible with adjusting Oliver’s care instructions when needed during his stay. We are so grateful that Oliver had a place to stay that gave him the same TLC he receives from us at home.”
“I am so grateful that I picked Terry to care for my little dog, Peanut. Terry is about my age and Peanut is used to being at home with me each day. She loves to sit next to me much like Velcro. I felt Terry’s home was like a home away from home for Peanut. I live in a condo and Terry’s home had the advantage of having a fenced-in backyard which Peanut loved. Terry sent me a photo and short update every day which helped me to relax knowing that Peanut was content!”
“We were apprehensive about a long stay with a vacay out of the country. So we decided on a meet/greet overnight to be sure Alexandra’s household was a good fit for our sweet but sometimes sassy girl:) From the start, Alexandra was so warm and welcoming. And to our relief, our dog got along with hers and they’ve since had a 13 night stay together. Alexandra sent some cute pics and kept us updated. She is such a lovely person and was able to put our minds at ease. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely book with her again. Ohhh….the fenced backyard is a bonus cuz our dog LOVES to run! 😊”
“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!!”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Janelle was fantastic and knows how hard it is to leave behind your family member. She was very reassuring and sent us photos and wonderful messages everyday. We could not have asked for a better caretaker for our pup!! She had fun adventures with their dogs and got plenty of play time outdoors. Janelle went above and beyond and helped ensure all things went smoothly. We are so grateful for the care she gave our dog and we couldn’t be happier!”
“Felix has some of that 'dog whisper' magic. He was generous with sharing his home and love while watching our dog. We can tell our dog felt secure and relaxed while under his care and had some fun of his own while we were away.”
“Jake was excellent. He was very thorough introducing Griffin to his dogs and they took very good care of our dog too. I really appreciated his feedback on how the stay went as well. It is clear that he is very passionate about providing a caring environment for all dogs.”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Would definitely recommend Beth, Ruby had a great time. Beth provided space for Ruby to get comfortable and socialize with other pets. She provided updates as this was our 1st time leaving Ruby overnight. Thank you Beth for making Ruby feel at home during our trip.”
“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 weren’t sure what to expect since Anikka is newer on Rober but she was a great sitter for our fur babies! We appreciated the easy communication and the photo updates, they had a wonderful time with her. We have one dog who is senior and needs a little extra love and she took great care of him. She took our other dog to the park near our house which she loves. Would definitely use her again!”
“Elise was fantastic! Very kind, thoughtful, thorough and flexible! We met before hand with all my cats and during the booking when we realized my cats needed more care than scheduled, she quickly added more visits. Absolutely recommend her!”
“Brandi was awesome! I loved the amount of pictures and updates I got! It makes me feel so much better about leaving my fur baby for this long. Tulip Mae loved Brandi and seemed very comfortable with her which made it so much better. Thank you so much!”
About: Biscuit is my sweet cat who I’ve loved and cared for over the past 2 years. I understand how essential a consistent routine is for cats. I’m experienced with sticking to strict feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes spotless, giving medication if needed, and offering patient affection whether your cat is energetic or shy.
“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Dawnn doors a great job with our fur baby and he does well with her. She communicates well and is flexible with the visits, following our instructions well. Thanks for your reassurance that all is well with pictures and words!”
“We had Broooke check in on our 3 cats while we were on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious about having someone we don’t know do this. Brooke turned out to be very reliable and did a great job with her daily check-ins and pictures. Our cats are pretty incognito with strangers, so she really worked hard to get pictures! 😊 We appreciate all she did and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Brooke again.”
“Grace did a great job while we were out of town. She took care of our cat while we were gone for two weeks in our home. We got pictures while we were gone every time she visited. I could tell our cat was a little apprehensive at first but towards the end of our trip, our cat warmed up. I will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
“I re-book her every time I go out of town. My cat loves her, she is great at communicating, and takes lots of pictures of my girl while I’m away. As a petsitter, she does everything I would do, she’s amazing!!!”
“Maelee was great with our four cats while we were on vacation. Her communication was great and she went above and beyond what was asked of her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for cat care!”
“Annette has been so patient getting to know our Lenny. We are so appreciative of her care and value her always going above and beyond. She even took time to communicate some storm damage information to us while we were away and we were thankful to have her help.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Byron Center
“Thank you for taking such good care of Ivy yesterday. Unfortunately she had multiple seizures during the night and is not able to return today. I wanted you to know that it was nothing that you did to cause the cancellation. We hope to see you again soon.”
“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!”
“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. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jacy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter!”
“Chris and Vashti are great! They’re almost always available, even when I need daycare last minute. They share constant updates throughout the day. I get photos and messages showing Cinder Block having the best time, which makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he’s in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, not just going through the motions. Cinder comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for every single time. Couldn’t recommend them more.”
“I was visiting from out of state and only had a couple of days of notice but they were able to help. My 100lb Labrador was happier about going each day. I received regular photo and video updates of DJ socializing with other dogs and children. It appeared she had plenty to do and was definitely sleepy after. The whole family is very nice. Thank you!”
About: Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. From dogs and cats to pigs, chickens, cows, and birds, I have spent my entire life caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Even as a kid, I was the neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter, riding my bike around town to feed, play with, and care for everyone's pets. I love what I do, and I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry (or feathered!) family members in someone else's hands, and take this responsibility very seriously. To give you peace of mind, I will customize my updates and keep in touch as much or as little as you prefer. I do drop in visits, pet day care, and boarding in my home. We are a homeschool family, and usually home. My children love animals and we love playing with new animals whenever we can. We love to go for walks and hang out in our yard with our dog, pigs, and chickens. We have frequently watched a dog, and she fit in very well here-- we leashed her for potty breaks, crated her when we had to leave, and she roamed the house while we were home.
“Katrina took excellent care of my dog Blu. She was consistent with communication and updates about how Blu was doing. She made sure to keep him comfortable and took him for walks throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend allowing Katrina to take care of your fur baby!”
“My YorkiePoo loves his buddy Terry and his wife, Chuckie. He attends doggy daycare weekly and is always at our garage door ready to go. He has met several playmates and is always excited when I pick him up.🐶🐾🐕🦺”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”
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.
“Joshua watched my dog for an evening while we went out. Everything went smoothly. He responded quickly and made himself available at the requested drop off and pick up times.”
“Haley was a perfect fit with my dogs. She picked them up for daycare. She sent lots of photos that showed my pups were having fun. Then she brought back happy and tired dogs. Thanks Haley”

About: Growing up I've taken care of my family's dogs, at the moment my family has three dogs; an American Eskimo, a Eurasier, and a mini Australian Shepard. I love all animals at the moment I have a leopard gecko named Cyrus! I can provide walks on a strict/loose scheduled basis, cater to feeding times with routines/extra steps, I can offer space and quiet to older dogs/skittish dogs, I'm able to provide play time to those who have high energy dogs as well. At the moment I work Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays usually in the mornings. My schedule varies from week to week, but don't be afraid to reach out! I will do my best to accommodate you! As a house sitter I plan to care for your fur baby. If your dogs needs a walk or two a day, brushing, meal times, and play time I am able to offer. I truly want your pet to feel safe in their home while I am there. I don't want to overstep boundaries of both you or your fur baby.
“Dawnn is so nice! She came short notice to meet us a few days before Mazie’s walk. My dog immediately loves her! She sent pics and an update during the walk. Would love to book again if there is a need!”
About: II’ve been pet sitting for my sister for the past two years, including full week stays while her family travels. During that time, I’ve cared for her two cats – feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them plenty of love and playtime. Cats are easygoing, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have my own dog and cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I take my dog on regular walks and love bringing her to the park. Sometimes my cat even joins the adventure! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for. I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 3–6 pm. Outside those hours I’m available for walks, play, feeding, and maintaining your pet’s schedule; I’ll update you if anything changes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home whether I’m caring for them in my space or in theirs. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel relaxed and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, since every pet is different. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always make sure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure everything stays neat while giving their pets plenty of love and attention. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and having fun.
“Maryam came out and met Chase and I prior to her first walk with him! She was really wonderful with him and was familiar with our community so very helpful! She allowed time for Chase to sniff her and get comfortable with her while we talked. I appreciate her calm but confident presence! There first walk went great!”
“Renee is such a gem, and my pup loves her time with her. It is so nice to know on the days that I work late I don’t have to worry about my pup having to be alone all day and not get her steps in. Renee is very communicative and reliable. A welcome addition to our weekly routine.”
“Kelsey has been a huge help for our family. We got a new pup this summer and as a teacher I was nervous about leaving her at home all day for the first time. Our high energy vizsla girl very much enjoys her 30 minute walk each day with Kelsey. I would recommend her services to my friends and neighbors.”
“Julia was great! She understood things so accurately and intuitively right from the start. Great communication. I felt completely comfortable with her follow through and pet care!”
“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”
About: I love walking dogs! I have a dog of my own (Winnie) that I have trained. She’s a poodle/schnauzer mix and is a bit of a troublemaker. I am very familiar with high energy dogs and can handle them well. Although my dog looks small, she used to love to pull me on walks. So I’m familiar with handling pullers! I work in the afternoons so I’m looking to fill up my mornings. I love long walks so don’t be afraid to request me for an extended time/distance. If you book me, I’d ideally like to be done walking by 12:30pm so I can be ready for my part-time job at 2pm. I know every dog is different so I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs. I do not rush dogs on walks. I’m very hyper-vigilant so I’m great at accommodating each dog’s needs. I walk with my belt bag filled with treats, extra poop bags, bug spray, sun screen, etc. so I’m ready for whatever comes my way.
About: As a life-long pet owner, I’ve loved our pets through rambunctious puppy-hood and curious kittens all the way through tender care as they’ve crossed the rainbow bridge. I currently have an elderly dog named Callie and 2 lovable kittens named Mustard and Relish. As a family, we volunteer to clean and feed the cats at Grandville’s Community Cat Crew every weekend. I’m excited to love and care for your pets the same as I do our own! I work in the schools, so during the summers and on the weekends, I’m available and flexible to meet the needs of your pets— early mornings, late nights, multiple times a day, I’m here! I approach each pet based on their response— if they are excited and rambunctious, I will jump in and play and walk. If they are cautious and reserved, I will take the time to patiently wait for them to approach me for love and care.
About: I am older and very experienced with both cats and dogs from babies to senior care to transitioning. I care for extended family pets when not home I work a part time flexible schedule so my availability is your convenience. My only day off is Sunday which I set aside for family My pets are my family. I volunteer feeding and caring for family/friends pets when they are away from home over night or away on vacation
“Ellie was able to walk my dog super last minute in a time of need and I couldn’t recommend her more. She sent great photos and did exactly as my dog needed. Will be using her again in the future.”
“Rebecca was so amazing and it was so nice having such detailed info about the walks and how Jackson was doing with pictures! We booked last minute and Rebecca was such a life saver! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“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 have experience caring for dogs, including caring for my own two dogs. I also previously cared for an elderly dog who required regular injections, which gave me experience giving medication and providing attentive care for a senior pet. Additionally, I have experience dog sitting for others and understand the importance of maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while ensuring each pet’s individual needs are met! I am available in the mornings and throughout the day until 4:30 PM. I am flexible with my schedule during these hours and am happy to discuss specific scheduling needs. At home, I provide my pets with consistent care, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, attention, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. When caring for clients’ pets, I follow their specific instructions and routines closely, while making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am patient, attentive, and responsible when providing care.
About: I’ve always had pets and currently have two goldens and a cat. I absolutely love animals and now that my own human kids are grown I have extra time on my hands and I’d love help you spoil your fur babies. I’m happy to walk them, sit with them, play in the yard or whatever helps them feel loved when you’re not home ❤️ After 15 years as a parapro in a special needs preschool classroom I have recently taken a new position as a Marketing Assistant. I usually work on Tuesday and Wednesday but can have availability on those days in the evening and most of the day on M/T/TH/F and on weekends. I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I am unable to care for your pets in my own home right now but am happy to drop in and let yours out to potty, feed them, play fetch or other outdoor games, go for a walk, or just sit and snuggle if that’s what they prefer 😊 I am also comfortable giving medications if need be with instruction and a demonstration from you. I previously had a dog with diabetes and am experienced in giving insulin injections.
“Lucas is a lifesaver! I’m so happy he was willing to take us on as clients. He’s responsive, punctual, and friendly. He provided great feedback from walks with my Samson; they seemed to get on pretty well. I would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been working as a professional pet sitter and dog walker for over seven years. I’ve been howled at, licked, bitten, pooped and peed on, dragged into a lake, growled at, barked at...and I will always be up for more! I live in Grandville with my two children (18 and 12) who are also animal lovers. We also have a senior Maltese Yorkie Shitzhu mix named Irie, who is a grumpy old man and a ferocious beast (he thinks). I work full-time as a marketing consultant. I love to play with dogs for exercise and as a reminder to not take life so seriously! Sometimes communicating with animals is much easier than communicating with humans! :)
