“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“Our puppers are exhausted!! Must have had a lot of play time! This is our second time with Derek and the care makes it easy for me to bring them somewhere other than having someone come and check on them. Thank you Derek.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Montague, MI and love everything about it. I have four crazy dogs, four wonderful cats, two guinea pigs, and a 7 year old son. I have 10 years of animal experience, working at two Muskegon County animal shelters and as a vet assistant. I am licensed and insured through my personal business, Muskegon's Poopin Scoopin LLC. With my knowledge, experience, and above all passion; I guarantee the best service possible. I'm currently working part time during the week, so I have extra time to love on your furry friend! I do most of my pet sitting without my son but if you have a pet that loves children, my son would love to join. Your home is my home and I will take care of your home as so. In my home, your pet can have free access to outside with the doggy door. All cats are kept separate from the dogs. All dogs are fed separately. Detailed lists of your pets routine are helpful to ensure each pet is cared for to your expectations.
“Ms Vicki was wonderful with our older dog Poppy! This was the first time ever that our Poppy was separated from us and we were worried. However, Ms Vicki sent us a lot of updates and pictures to ease our minds. When we saw our Poppy’s smiling face, then we knew that she was well taken care of! Poppy is now home with treats and a happy attitude… no stress at all for her! THANK YOU MS VICKI!”
“Patty graciously agreed to watch Whiskey on very short notice and I couldn’t have been happier with his stay. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I know he had a great time and he came home extremely tired from all the fun.”
“Daniel was amazing! From the very beginning, he invited us to his home so we could feel more comfortable and showed us his backyard. While Nala stayed with him, he kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time. He was super attentive and always made sure everything was going well. We could really tell he cared about Nala. Highly recommend him! 🐶✨”
“Chris has consistently been reliable with communication and updates on our pup while in his care! We feel confident having him as a sitter, and will always consider him first when it comes to booking through Rover :-)”
“I boarded my cat Libby for the very first time. I was very nervous about boarding/leaving her but I was gone too long to leave her alone. I found Lenore on Rover. After looking at several people which did not impress me, I found Lenore and immediately liked her profile. During the process of signing up, Lenore sent several messages asking about Libby. It made me feel like she really cared about animals. We left Libby with Lenore for 9 days. She texted with me and sent me pictures every day!! She showed so much love and care for her I was afraid Libby might want to stay! Lenore really does go above and beyond to take care of your fur babies! I could not be happier. Lenore made my holiday trip so enjoyable. I could relax knowing Libby was well cared for. I will definitely use her again and cannot recommend her enough!!!”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“If you love your fur babies, then you definitely need to book Justice. She was super responsive, professional, friendly and communicative. On top of that - she's wonderful with animals! My husband and I were wanting a safe, at-home environment to board our Shiba Inu, Primrose. In the "meet and greet", Justice did a phenomenal job introducing our pup to her pack to ensure everyone got along. It was generous of her to spend her valuable time with a tour and detailed explanation of how she operates. Primrose was all too excited to come back after the initial introduction. I can't express how thankful we are to have found Justice. She took so much care to update and inform us on our pup's well-being during the 24 hour(+) period. The photos, texts and videos she sent were an added bonus! I was never left wondering if Primrose was in good hands. Because Justice loves her canine clients as if they were her own, I absolutely look forward to booking her again for future services.”

“Christopher made my dog feel at ease and kept him happy and entertained. I was happy to receive regular reports and photos. I will definitely have my pup stay with Christopher again!”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie is a 5 star dog sitter. Her and her family brought our dog, Brodie, in and made him part of their family. She sent pictures and communicated with us daily. Definitely will hire her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kelli sent updates and pictures the whole time and really put me at ease. She has the perfect set up for dogs and Hashbrown was treated like one of the family. He’s already booked for another stay!”

“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”

I have experience removing tics, giving baths if needed, making sure they have enrichment, and administering medication both oral and injectable. I love being around cats and look forward to meeting your fur babies!
“Eden was fabulous! From the parents of a high needs diabetic senior kitty we could not more enthusiastically recommend Eden as a pet sitter and care giver.

About: I’ve been in environmental veterinary science In my high school years and have learned and taken care of a variety of animals from chicken, to goats. Ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, I love animals and teaching them new tricks as well! I do currently have a full time job, but I’m looking to get out of that area and focus more on doing what I love which is pet sitting! If I get enough regular clientele I would love to pursue this full time! I do have a fenced in back yard, I have two crates a big and little one! My house is pet friendly, we love all fur babies! I have a little fur baby as well to keep company with yours! She is super sweet and loves to cuddle next to any and everyone!
About: I've had a cat in the household since I was around 10 years old and haven't gone back. From one stray we adopted to four wild siblings and everything in-between, I've always loved cats and have scooped their poop more times than I'd like to recall. They do come with their personalities and after raising a kitten by hand, I understand the distance some need as well as others that can't get enough of the cuddles or play time. Although medication is much trickier than dogs, I have also been the one to give out the medicine, trim claws and just about everything needed for their well being. I'm a cat mom and would love to take care of your feline :)
About: I have been around dogs basically all my life. Most of my experience is with larger dogs including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherds. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs including giving medications and carrying large dogs up and down stairs. For about a year now, I have been helping my girlfriend take care of clients' pets in their homes. This has given me the opportunity to care for smaller dogs, as well as a puppy. We have watched a number of cats as well, and I grew up with two cats in the house, so I have experience with basic cat care too (feeding, cleaning litter, playing). As of right now, my schedule is very open. I am between jobs, seeking new employment, so I can take care of your pets any time of day, any day of the week, aside from potential interviews here and there. I would however be more than happy to make pet care a “full-time” effort, should there be enough interest. I will update this section as soon as my employment changes. Whether it be a walk or overnight pet care, making sure your pets are comfortable is of the utmost importance. I do my best to let them know that even in your absence, they are loved and cared for. This is demonstrated with lots of attention, pettings, and playtime, while of course still giving your pet the time and space needed to adjust to having me around. Also know that while in your home, I do my best to keep out of your privacy and respect your home, keeping it clean and keeping things in their place.
About: I have raised two puppies of my own. They are super good dogs. Ive also had a older dog before so I can give medicine and whatever is needed. I am not working at all currently so i can be with your babies all the time. I don’t have a busy schedule so I can take very good care of your animals. I will make sure your animal gets what is needed and watch them just like they are my own. They will be played with and let outside and fed! And tons of love
About: I was raised up a dog girl, but since starting to care for my friend’s feline babies, I have grown to love them. The subtle snuggles once they’re comfortable around you is priceless. I love to keep cats enriched with play times and endless rubs if they are okay with it as I know some cats just like your presence.
“Lindsey was accommodating when I asked to switch a day she was coming to take care of my cats. She also sent pictures and a message each time she made a visit. I am happy with the care she gave my cats.”
“Kristen was great! My cat loved her and he doesn't like very many people so that says it all! Will definitely plan to have Kristen again. Thanks so much for your great care of my picky feline friend.”
“Justice was wonderful for our 2 cats. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout her visits. She was courteous and followed all instructions. We appreciate the time u spent playing with our fur babies and keeping their belly happy! We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Madison and Kyle were amazing! Our plans in the area had changed unexpectedly and we didn't know what we were going to do with our puppy. Even with such little notice, they were so understanding and hospitable to us and our puppy. He had so much fun with them and was pooped for the rest of the night. Highly recommend.”
“My puppy was very happy with Arisha. The puppy came back excited and smiling. Arisha was also very helpful in meeting me for the drop off. Thanks Arisha! Wishing you well.”

About: HI, my name is Lenore, - My love for animals began when I was very young... - A few years ago, my Sheltie, Spencer... at 10 wk old, was already highly intelligent, and so full of love.

About: Emma is a certified master dog groomer, self-taught artist, self-published author, and dog sport enthusiast living in West Michigan. She shares her home with her crew of pets - dogs, goats, reptiles, and a cat. She has trained her own dogs in many sports including agility, rally, obedience, nosework, herding, dock diving, flyball, lure coursing, drag racing, barn hunt, trick dog, freestyle, conformation, and more. She has gone on to compete in several of these sports, earning advanced titles in agility, rally, and conformation. She loves variety whether in her chosen dog sport or chosen dog breed - she has owned a pug, a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, an English setter, an Icelandic sheepdog, Shetland sheepdogs, and English cocker spaniels. Emma’s dog grooming business is one of very few offering house call grooming in West Michigan. Emma is certified through the National Dog Groomers Association of American, certified in pet safety, first aid, and CPR/CPCR, certified in Fear Free handling, and is actively working on certification as a pet aesthetician through Iv San Bernard USA. More than anything else, she loves spending time with her dogs, hiking, exploring, and finding and creating beautiful things. I work from home so am able to dedicate quite a bit of time to caring for your pet! Dogs coming in for grooming and dogs here for boarding/daycare are kept separate to prevent any issues. My personal dogs are integrated as needed with the ability to separate them for reactive or potentially aggressive or fearful visitors. Dogs are confined in crates or kennel runs for safety when I am not home or am unable to watch and monitor them. My yard is fully fenced with no gaps or holes. Flight risk dogs will be leash walked. Otherwise dogs will be out in my house integrated with my own pack as appropriate!
About: My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love! I am working part-time from home and no longer have a pet in the home, so my schedule allows me to take time for pet care during the week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.

“This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.”

“Michael was fantastic with our dogs and really helped us out! We planned to take a sunset cruise and needed someone to watch the dogs for a couple hours. Michael met us at the dock and walked the dogs around the area while we cruised. We would definitely use him again if we visit Muskegon again.”

“Gabby was very sweet and kind. My dog lilly came home and just relaxed. I was hesitanted on letting a stranger walk my dog because she is apart of the family. I was glad I took the lep. I am recovering from surgery so unable to walk a 60+ pound dog. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up caring for our Boxers, Pitbulls, Dash Hounds and Chihuahuas. We also had horses and at one point a bunny. I really enjoy walking and training all sorts of animals! I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of time early in the week to help with puppos.(All dogs are just big puppos at heart.) I am very flexible and mobile. I currently live somewhere where I can't have more animals, so pet care at my home is a no go, however I am more than happy to stick to any routines your pet may have in your own home and make sure they get plenty of attention.
About: My wife and I have always had a dog with us. We have tons of space for dog to run and play with friends! We have both dog sat for other friends and families and would love to continue that in our new home! :) I work only 10 minutes from our home and have the flexibility to be home as much as possible. My wife also works from home part time as well. We have plenty of space for dogs to run and play. However, we do not have a fenced in yard. Our dog is trained to stay in the yard with our supervision.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I have had a horse, rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, etc. When I was growing up my parents bred Daschounds and I helped out with them. I love taking care of animals and having them around. I currently have 4 dogs that I am involved in their care. I have been heavily involved in healthcare for awhile and want to step away for a little bit and really work with animals. I am a very warm and friendly person and just love animals. I am open to new concept and am willing to learn if there is specials diets or needs for any animal. I will follow your instructions and give your pet the best possible care.
About: I have been taking care of friends’ and family’s dogs and cats since high school. Right now I only have one cat named Lily. I’m fostering two cats named Emi and Eva for my friends until the can find new home and they can take them back. I regularly watch a labradane named Ranger and two Shih Tzus name Scruffy and Twinkle. I work part time as a home renovator and substitute teacher with allows me to make my own schedule so I have very flexible hours. I have a completely enclosed yard with chain link fence. Dogs are allowed in all rooms of my house and on furniture. There are three cats in my house which are tolerant of dogs coming into the home. I work part time at my own hours during the day and fixed hours some evenings. Some weekends I may be away skiing for most of the day but could still make calls at night. I only have cats at home that are accustomed to dogs coming and going. I have a fenced in backyard on a quarter acre lot.
“Miracle is exceptionally responsible and compassionate! We had a death in the family and unexpectedly needed help while being in a town where we didn't know anyone. Having Miracle help was truly a blessing! She showed up on time, kept us updated throughout her visit, and was so accommodating with all of my silly over-planning (grief means increased emotions and Miracle was so patient and kind with me!). Thank you so much, Miracle! Our whole family is so grateful for you!”

“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“Our puppers are exhausted!! Must have had a lot of play time! This is our second time with Derek and the care makes it easy for me to bring them somewhere other than having someone come and check on them. Thank you Derek.”
“Ms Vicki was wonderful with our older dog Poppy! This was the first time ever that our Poppy was separated from us and we were worried. However, Ms Vicki sent us a lot of updates and pictures to ease our minds. When we saw our Poppy’s smiling face, then we knew that she was well taken care of! Poppy is now home with treats and a happy attitude… no stress at all for her! THANK YOU MS VICKI!”
“Patty graciously agreed to watch Whiskey on very short notice and I couldn’t have been happier with his stay. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I know he had a great time and he came home extremely tired from all the fun.”
“Daniel was amazing! From the very beginning, he invited us to his home so we could feel more comfortable and showed us his backyard. While Nala stayed with him, he kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time. He was super attentive and always made sure everything was going well. We could really tell he cared about Nala. Highly recommend him! 🐶✨”
“Chris has consistently been reliable with communication and updates on our pup while in his care! We feel confident having him as a sitter, and will always consider him first when it comes to booking through Rover :-)”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“If you love your fur babies, then you definitely need to book Justice. She was super responsive, professional, friendly and communicative. On top of that - she's wonderful with animals! My husband and I were wanting a safe, at-home environment to board our Shiba Inu, Primrose. In the "meet and greet", Justice did a phenomenal job introducing our pup to her pack to ensure everyone got along. It was generous of her to spend her valuable time with a tour and detailed explanation of how she operates. Primrose was all too excited to come back after the initial introduction. I can't express how thankful we are to have found Justice. She took so much care to update and inform us on our pup's well-being during the 24 hour(+) period. The photos, texts and videos she sent were an added bonus! I was never left wondering if Primrose was in good hands. Because Justice loves her canine clients as if they were her own, I absolutely look forward to booking her again for future services.”
“Christopher made my dog feel at ease and kept him happy and entertained. I was happy to receive regular reports and photos. I will definitely have my pup stay with Christopher again!”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie is a 5 star dog sitter. Her and her family brought our dog, Brodie, in and made him part of their family. She sent pictures and communicated with us daily. Definitely will hire her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kelli sent updates and pictures the whole time and really put me at ease. She has the perfect set up for dogs and Hashbrown was treated like one of the family. He’s already booked for another stay!”
“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!”
“Reyna was so kind to take our dogs last minute. She watched them for two nights and sent cute pictures and updates daily. Both my pups were well taken care of while with Reyna. Would highly recommend!”
