“Sabrina is a true dog lover, she took the time to learn and understand our pup’s traits and personalities and adjusted their care accordingly. Saylor is 10 and Lake is 2. They go for walks, play time in the yard and have dog treat hunts to just name a few activities. We receive texts with pictures and videos throughout the day. Saylor and Lake love staying with Sabrina and we highly recommend her. Kathy & Joe”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Caroline was great, super flexible with my schedule after several last min changes! And I believe my baby had a wonderful time at her house with her fur baby ?? will definitely reach out again for more services!”
“Erin and Brian were great communicators and took good care of Cedar. They clearly love animals and have created a space where pups are welcome. Cedar enjoyed having playmates for the weekend and came home to us in a chipper mood. We’ll definitely plan to hire Erin and Brian again when we have future pet sitting needs.”
“I'm very happy to have met Paige and Matthew on Rover.com I knew my Bruno was in good hands. They love dogs and it shows in the care they provide. Two thumbs up! 😊”
“Highly Recommended! Melanie went above and beyond to make our toy poodle welcomed and comfortable when we boarded him for our trip! I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and even a fun video. Melanie is prompt, reliable and trustworthy!! She treats your dog like her own. When we came back from our trip, Tucker was happy and relaxed. Thank you again for everything!! Sheryl P.”
“We had such a great experience with Matt! He watched both of our pups for over a week and did an amazing job. He sent regular updates with pictures, took them on multiple walks, and made sure they were happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Wendy & her kids are awesome & greatly appreciated! I asked her very last minute to watch my dog for a night & she was more than happy to do so, even with an event they had at their house the same day! Will definitely keep using them as our go to sitters!”
“Felix was amazing with our pup! It was his first time without us since we got him and we were pretty nervous with how things would go, but our dog Chuck ended up having a great time! Felix sent regular videos and pictures and would send more whenever requested. We never had to worry about Chuck and knew he was having fun! The meet and greet before hand also helped relieve some nerves seeing the house and getting to meet Felix beforehand. We will definitely use Felix again with any of our dog sitting needs in the future!”

About: I care for only one guest dog at a time in a calm, peaceful home, alongside my easygoing dog, Mia. This allows me to give each dog plenty of attention in a relaxed, low-stress environment. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates with photos and Ring videos so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience caring for other dogs, including my brother’s Boxer, Yoli (featured in my photos). Yoli’s mom shared this testimonial: "Amy has taken care of my Boxer several times over the past year and always provides a great experience for my pup. My Boxer is very happy when I drop her off and greets Amy in a very excited manner. Any questions or concerns about my pup, by Amy, are a phone call or text to clarify. I have utmost faith in the care and love that Amy provides for my pup." My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and what makes them most comfortable so they truly feel at home. I treat every dog like family and create an environment where they can relax, feel secure, and be themselves. I like to leave things a little better than I found them. During drop-in visits, I walk the entire back yard and, if I see dog waste, I pick it up so your yard is clean when you get home. I have plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. My days are flexible, and I enjoy giving dogs attention, exercise, and affection through walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I do one short drop-in visit during the day, so your pup may be alone briefly (typically under an hour). Daycare Hours: Drop-off 7:00 AM–10:00 AM | Pick-up by 6:00 PM Overnight Boarding Hours: Drop-off between 2:00 PM–7:00 PM | Pick-up between 10:00 AM–12:00 PM the next day Late evening drop-offs can be arranged with advance notice at no additional charge. Early / Late Hours: $10 per hour (even 15–20 minutes counts as one full hour). Client Note: Please let me know ahead of time what drop-off and pick-up hours you’re expecting so I can plan my day and make sure your dog’s care goes smoothly. 🐾 Personalized Care & Value Doggy Daycare Hours: 7 a.m.–6 p.m. (11 hours) Rate: $50 $/Hour: $4.55 Notes: Active daytime care, lots of interaction, play, and supervision Boarding Hours: 24 hours (day + night) Rate: $70 $/Hour: $2.92 Notes: Full day + night care, one-on-one attention, feeding, monitoring, and companionship Why this matters: Your dog gets high-quality, personalized care. Daycare covers high-energy active time, and boarding provides 24-hour supervision for one dog at a time — all at very fair rates. For safety reasons, I maintain a consistent verification process for all new clients before scheduling in-home meet & greets. In my home, dogs are always welcomed with love and attention. It’s a cozy space, full of care. I have a friendly 9-year-old Beagle/Jack Russell mix, Mia, who enjoys company and gets along well with other dogs. My yard is secured with an underground dog fence, and I have a collar and cones ready so your dog can safely explore and play alongside Mia. With your approval and when weather permits, I can help train your dog to understand the yard boundaries, so they feel confident and comfortable. I follow each dog’s usual routines for walks, meals, and rest, so they feel cared for and at ease. In my home, all dogs get filtered water. With your approval, I also offer Newman's Own Organic Chicken Recipe Snack Bites as a healthy, controlled treat during training and enrichment activities. I have outdoor Ring cameras and can share updates according to your preference--whether photos, video clips, or both, so you can see your dog while in my care. As far as grooming, I can bathe (I use diluted, unscented Castile soap 50/50 with water for a gentle, natural clean), brush them, and vacuum them with a dog vacuum. I care for only one guest dog in my home at a time, day or night, ensuring focused attention and comfort. My goal is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and feeling right at home. If I visit your home, I can walk or feed more than one dog at a time. Because I’m allergic to cats, I can visit your home to feed and water your cat(s); these are quick in-and-out visits, which I’ve done successfully for a neighbor many times.
“This was my first booking with Felicia, and she was wonderful. I have one cat that is shy/skittish until he gets to know you. He warmed up to Felicia quicker than I expected. Based on the photos she provided, both of my cats appeared to love her. I had excellent communication with Felicia about what I needed and questions she had. I would book Felicia again in a heartbeat.”
“Went above and beyond! I was so impressed with Alicia, she was consistent with her updates and took pictures of my sweet baby the whole time! I felt so comfortable and at ease thanks to her! I will be a repeat customer for her! Thank you so much!”
“Allison took wonderful care of our cat, Walter. She made sure he had his wet food, spent time playing with him, and gave him lots of love and treats. When we got home, he seemed happy, relaxed, and very content, which gave us so much peace of mind. It's obvious that Allison genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and we're grateful to have found her. We're looking forward to having her continue checking in on Walter each week. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and caring to look after their pets.”
“Sidney did great the pups really seemed to enjoy her. The only thing that she forgot was locking the back slider door upon leaving the house, but still totally worth a five star review despite the small over sight.”
“Ellyanna was amazing! She was so communicative and professional, and kept us up to date with detailed report cards and pictures during every visit. My mom returned to find two happy cats, so clearly they agreed! 10/10, would book with Elly again!”
About: Although I do not currently own any cats, I grew up in a home with them and have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages. My parents still have cats, giving me ongoing opportunities to help care for them whenever needed. I am dependable when it comes to feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and providing companionship. Whether your cat enjoys active playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I am also happy to accommodate any special care instructions or routines to help keep your cat happy and maintain the consistency they’re used to. From energetic kittens to senior cats, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and individual needs. I treat every cat with the patience, respect, and affection they deserve, and I will care for yours as if they were my own.
About: I have decades of experience living and working with dogs and cats. I also have animal training experience. I enjoy meeting new animals and their people. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to take frequent breaks to give animals care, attention and activity. I currently have a house with lots of space, with a big yard and 40 acres of walking trails to entertain your special fur baby.

About: Throughout my eight years of researching pets, I have come to appreciate cats for their historical connection with humans. I admire their agility, as well as the distinct sounds and movements they use to communicate with us. They are remarkably precise and quite beautiful creatures. As a quiet individual, I believe they would thrive in a peaceful home environment.
About: I’ve taken care of so many cats over the years, including my own, I can’t even count! My family used to foster cats that struggled to find loving homes, whether they have a disability, bad behavior, health problems, shy, or were simply old aged, I always made sure they felt the love they deserved. I’m a very clean person, so I will definitely keep your home clean! I have prior experience in elderly cat care, kittens, bottle feeding, administration of medication, and cpr for any furry friend! I am a very honest, reliable, kind, and respectful person, and have such a soft heart when it comes to animals. I hope to be able to meet your fur baby!! :)
“We have an anxious dog, and leaving Bailey behind is always the hardest part of any trip. Lexx made it easy. She cared for Bailey like she was her own — offering the kind of comfort and patience that you just can’t fake. We came home to one happy, settled pup, and that says everything. Lexx is the real deal. I’d highly recommend her to anyone… as long as she’s available, because we’re officially calling dibs. 😄 Thank you, Lexx — truly. We’ll be back!”
About: I have experience with caring for puppies, older dogs, cats, and even experience with caring for all of the above at the same time! I also have experience dealing with dogs with anxiety, and am well-equipped to help your dog be comfortable while in my care. On top of all of this, I have many years of experience as a dog walker for clients all over West Michigan. I have a very flexible work-from-home job, which allows me to curate my schedule to fit your pets’ needs. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet any feeding, potty, and walk schedule! I will connect with you prior to starting the service to talk about the specific needs of your pet, and what kinds of things may need special attention. If they are coming to my home, your pet will be safe and sound in my house with my two dogs, and will be watched with care. If I am dropping in or visiting tour dog at your house, I will be sure to understand their needs, quirks, and habits before I begin the service so that we have the most successful visit possible!
About: Are you in need of someone who is trustworthy to take good care of your dog? I’m your gal! I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I know how important it is to have a reliable, loving & dependable sitter! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. Having two older & special needs dogs of our own, we are always making sure they aren’t left too long, get lots of exercise, play time and lots of attention. I have 2 small, friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We don't have a fenced in yard, but please don't worry....I NEVER let the dogs out with out having the harness and leash on. I take EXTRA caution with this, as it would be a fear of my own. Our two dogs go out several times a day - always on a leash. You fur baby would be in good hands with me!

I treat your pets and home as if they're mine and communicate clearly and often so you can rest assured everything is going smoothly. As a seasoned veteran, I also take notice of extra details that may need attention or extra care. With permission, I often bring my pet loving teenage daughters along so your pets can have some extra loving.
About: I am an experienced pet owner and have cared for multiple cats and dogs at the same time, including puppies, kittens, and dogs of all sizes. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll send photos and videos during my visits so you can see that your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of care and attention. I also understand that life doesn’t always go as planned, so I offer last-minute care whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide calm, confident, and compassionate care so your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for until you’re home again. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. My open availability allows me to accommodate regular visits as well as many last-minute requests. I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll ensure your home is secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. You can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and attentive during every visit.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. Family friends woukd trust me to to take care of their cats and dogs when they went away for a while. I would help take care of the house as well. I love to go for walks with my dogs and go about 3 days a week with my dog Remi. I can watch dogs and cats when my family friends need me too. But also work part time at Pet Supplies Plus so I need a bit more time to plan when I work and when I can stop by and take care of pets. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, follow their normal feeding schedule, provide exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also administer medication if instructed, keep their environment clean and safe, and update owners with photos and messages. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

My kids include five dogs (Eros, Echo, Eevee, Eddy, and Espresso) and 4 rescue cats (Auribus, Bones, Munk, and Mickey).

“Erin and Brian were great communicators and took good care of Cedar. They clearly love animals and have created a space where pups are welcome.

We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Wendy & her kids are awesome & greatly appreciated! I asked her very last minute to watch my dog for a night & she was more than happy to do so, even with an event they had at their house the same day! Will definitely keep using them as our go to sitters!”
“Felix was amazing with our pup! It was his first time without us since we got him and we were pretty nervous with how things would go, but our dog Chuck ended up having a great time! Felix sent regular videos and pictures and would send more whenever requested. We never had to worry about Chuck and knew he was having fun! The meet and greet before hand also helped relieve some nerves seeing the house and getting to meet Felix beforehand. We will definitely use Felix again with any of our dog sitting needs in the future!”
“Excellent Rover experience! Rachel is very caring and consistently provides updates throughout the stay. Our dog is always very excited to see her. We recommend Rachel highly to all!”
