Personalized care for your dog or cat - West Grand
Highly-rated overnight sitters - West Grand
“My dog is often fairly aloof with strangers. But he bonded with Felix immediately upon meeting him! The big fenced yard was certainly a plus too. Felix sent me messages and pictures daily so that I knew they were having fun together. My dog got to enjoy long walks each day with the freedom to explore all the new smells along the way. I didn't worry or feel guilty leaving my dog behind because I knew he was happy in Felix's care!”
“Ruth took great care of my anxious Toy Aussie! She sent several photos and updates of my pup and made sure she was well taken care of. Ruth responded in a timely manner and the communication was easy. I would let my pup stay with Ruth again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we did a meet and greet. Our dog took to Sarah right away, which put us at ease. She gave us updates and pictures during the stay which reassured us that our dog was being well cared for. We would definitely use Sarah in the future!”
“Renee was able to board our 2 bulldogs over the 4th holiday on short notice and we are so grateful! She has a fenced backyard, works from home and was able to spend quality time with them so they weren't lonely. They had such big smiles on their faces the whole time. Will definitely come back on our next trip!”
“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!”
“Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++”
“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!”
“This is the second time we’ve had our 2 pups stay with Jenn and she was AMAZING as always! Our pups were a little bit more work this stay and she was so patient, kind, and communicative throughout it all. I will always recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Dan & Kelly are great with my dog, Henry! I appreciate the attention they give to him and I also think their house and backyard are a great space for dogs to have fun and be safe.”
“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”
“Gabrielle is very attentive with my dog make sure he is always comfortable and she also communicates with what’s going on with my dog makes me feel like it’s at home away from home”
“Tatyana provides a loving environment for our dog, Jax. He seemed to want to stay with her rather than come home with me the other morning. I can’t thank her enough for providing her home for my incredibly hyper and anxious pup and still have wonderful things to say about him when I picked him up.”
“Molly was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog overnight. Her place is lovely and our dog was instantly comfortable. Her dog is very sweet and calm. Would book here 100% anytime we are in Grand Rapids!”
“Great communication, gave a good recap of how my dog did and paid attention to his anxiety and how he didn’t seem to tolerate the heat despite walking later in the day, and cut a walk short because she was concerned by his panting.”

“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“Kate has been fantastic to us and our cat Baxter! We have never left him with anyone before and when we unexpectedly needed to leave town she gave us such peace of mind. She made our cat comfortable, sent us photos and updates every day, and took fabulous care of our cat and home! We would absolutely jump at the chance to have her watch our cat again. Thanks again Kate :)”

“Thank you so much for this last-minute coverage & trying your hardest to help my lil guy even when I wasn’t available. Sherlock likes you so, I hope to work with you in the near future again!”
“Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)”
“Alyssa was fantastic! We all know that leaving our fur babies behind is so stressful and, well, sad. Alyssa sent over cute stories of her and our cat Luna's adventures each day along with adorable photos of them together. Luna got all the pets and cuddles she could handle when Alyssa dropped in each day and was never left needing food, water, or a clean litter box. Alyssa made our time away from home so much more relaxing!”
About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.
“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”
About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.
“booked extremely last minute due to my cat opening my freezer door. had such a quick response from Kristina and she went over and played with my two cats! She was absolutely amazing and made my cats very happy! 10/10 recommend”
“Colene did a great job watching and hanging out with my cat! She took great pictures both visits, as well as cleaning up after my cat which was not needed but highly appreciated! I would definitely book her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!!”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - West Grand
“Winston comes home from Renee’s house happy and sleepy. Her home and yard are great for a lower-energy dog. She also made sure to update me on his first day, which helped my peace of mind!”
“Shelby was WONDERFUL with Wren & Clover. Patient, flexible and fun! They had happy faces when I picked them up at the end of the day and Shelby provided photo updates for me so I could see how comfortable and happy they were at her house. I was moving that day, which is already so stressful and it took a huge weight off my mind to know my babies were being tended to with such sincere care. I highly recommend Shelby and her sweetie dog, Soma.”
“Ashley is very good with my dog. I love the home environment for my pet. Communication with Ashley is great. My pet seems to be very happy with Ashley”
About: We take extra time to make sure they have exercise, love, play, safety, and fun. We treat your dog as if he's one of our own. Someone is always home to care for our pets. Their care is our #1 priority. We have scheduled meal times and always ensure fresh water is available. We also take time to make sure they have plenty of exercise and fun. We take multiple walks each day, spend time playing with them, ensure that they are well cared for and loved. We make sure they are happy!
“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jacy! I provide reliable, insured dog boarding and daycare in Wyoming, MI and the Grand Rapids area. You'll receive regular daily updates and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing exactly how your dog is doing while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I treat every dog like family and strive to make their stay feel like a home away from home. For boarding and daycare, dogs must: • Be up to date on vaccinations — proof will be required before bookings are confirmed (Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis and Bordetella) • Be friendly with other dogs and cats • Be potty trained • Be comfortable being left alone for up to 2.5 hours (if needed) Flexible scheduling available—message me anytime. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work early mornings, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I'm available Tuesday–Saturday after 8am and fully available Sundays and Mondays. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection during their stay. I provide a safe and loving home where every dog is cared for like family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels comfortable, secure, and happy while you’re away. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, with safety always as my top priority. You’ll receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you can feel connected and reassured throughout their stay.
“She said he did wonderful. She took great care in all his needs & wants. Very dependable. Love the pics & communication through the day. Already booked again. Thank you”
“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and lifelong dog lover who has raised and trained my own 4-year-old chocolate lab from puppyhood. I provide a safe, structured, and loving home where your dog will be treated like family. I’m a teacher and am home full-time during the summer, so your pup will get plenty of attention, including daily walks, playtime, and enrichment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer oral medications if needed. Dogs staying with me must be friendly, as they’ll be spending time with my well-socialized lab who loves having a buddy around. Dogs are welcome on furniture to feel at home (just not on beds). Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, caring for them just like I do my own! I am home during the summers, as I teach during the school year! This allows my schedule to be flexible and provide your pet with frequent bathroom breaks, outside time, walks, and play time! Your pet will be welcomed into my home and treated like a family pet during their stay! Pets are allowed on furniture, but I request that they not sleep on the bed. I have beds that I can provide for them as an alternative sleeping area. My yard is fenced in for ease of bathroom breaks and time spent outside, but will likely be accompanied by me as I will likely be home during the majority of your pets stay. If your pet tends to get curious when left alone, I ask that you provide a crate for them to be put in when I have to run out of the house during your pets stay. I am pretty flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs during their stay!
“Libby walked right in like she was visiting family and seemed very happy at the end of her visit. I could tell she enjoyed herself. I really appreciated the good care she received from Susan!”
“Bianca was great with my extremely timid Miniature Schnauzer, Sophia. I adopted my now seven year old just before the pandemic hit so she's not used to being away from home; and, before adoption, she was essentially a puppy mill momma. Suffice it to say my girl isn't a people person (not aggressive, just timid) but loves to meet dogs. Bianca introduced her to her two adorable Shih Tzus plus two bigger dogs that were there that day with no problem and she got to explore the fenced back yard. Bianca sent me a photo of Sophia chilling (she decided to hang out in a large crate with the door open and went in and out as she felt comfortable). I'm sure Bianca could have snapped a picture of her outside and acted as if Sophia was really whooping it up; I appreciate the honesty and, because of that, feel comfortable with her taking care of my dog later this summer when I'll be out-of-state. I recommend Bianca for trustworthy care of your critter.”
“Great experience. She was flexible with our arrival and departure times, as we were running behind for both. Dog seemed quite happy when we picked her up. Would absolutely use Sarah's service again. Thank you.”
“Ki was flexible with my work schedule needs and was very communicative in sending pictures and updates of Benji. She brought him on plenty of walks too. Her excitement to meet Benji reassured me that he was in good hands.”
About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
“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!”

“This was my first time having Colene come to visit and walk my sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She had excellent communication and showed my little Lula some love and attention while I had to be away for the day. Will be using again!!”
“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, getting my own since 5 years old. For years my family and friends have trusted me to watch their beloved animals. I’m currently job searching for a dog groomers position, but of course I make time for furry friends! I’ve always had an affinity for animals, especially dogs, so I hope to work with them full time! I will always make sure your legs stay out of areas they are not allowed, and they will not receive any human food, unless you say it’s ok to give them a little treat!
“Lauren was great. She was communicative, sent photos and reports, and took good care of our house and dog- everything was in good shape when we got home. We will ask her to help us out again in the future.”
“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”
“Tayler has been super helpful, was able to accomodate my 11th hour requests to check in on my dog, feed and walk him. My dog appears to have taken to her quite well.”
About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.
“Kevin walks our dog a three times a week. Clyde can be a challenging dog to walk (bulldog!). Kevin stays patient with him and sends positive reports & pics each time he’s with him. Kevin is great to work with! We feel lucky to have met him!”
“Was my first time using rover and Ariel was quick to respond and easy to communicate with which made it so easy and stress free! Maggie looked happier then ever and was well taken care of!”
“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have a cat of my own. I also help take care of my mom’s elderly dog. All animals have a different personality and I love to get to understand them! I’ve administered medication and am good at calming animals in stressful situations. I would love to meet your pet… they all deserve the utmost respect! I work part time and am excited to welcome your pet into my weekly schedule! I’m available for drop in’s or walking most days of the week. I am happy to provide customized care for your pet in the comfort of his or her home. Every animal has specifics needs and I’m willing to go above and beyond to keep your pet at ease and thriving.
“Colleen has been walking our dog consistently for a few months now and our dog LOVES her! She has been super reliable, as we new parents and have limited time to go on long walks with our high-energy golden doodle. She also does a great job granted he pulls a ton. We are so grateful for her!”
“Anna was fantastic with helping out last minute and did a great job caring for our puppy! She communicated well and also shared adorable photos of our pup on their walk who looked like a happy pup :)”
About: Taking care of others has always been a passion of mine. Growing up as the oldest of four, I would watch younger siblings and our two cats and lab while my parents were away. As I got older, I started to take on more responsibility as a nanny, house sitter, and pet sitter. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, kittens, big dogs and little dogs, fish, and rodents. My responsibilities have ranged from over night care to occasional dog walks. When the time came for me to decide what career to pursue, I considered my love for taking care of others and animals - this is the reason I decided to become a teacher. With that being said, I need a summer gig that allows me to keep doing what I love! Thank you for considering me as your next house and pet sitter. As a teacher, I have summers off, so my schedule is relatively open outside of a bi weekly nannying gig, monthly cleaning job, and some vacations. Due to the flexibility of my schedule, I am available for overnight care, check ins with your pets every couple hours, or dog walks. Unfortunately, I am renting a home that does not allow pets, so I am unable to take animals back to my apartment place. With that being said, I will be visiting your home. I am a very cleanly, attentive, and communicative person! I assure you, your place will be cleaner than when you left it, and your animal will be happy and healthy.
