“We are so appreciative of Ruth and she did a wonderful job caring for our 12 week old Aussie puppy! She is conscientious and caring and did a fabulous job of keeping us updated and sending photos of our Sonny! We were so happy knowing Ruth was with our puppy when we needed to be out of town. We highly recommend booking with Ruth for your Rover needs!”
“Soly went above and beyond in taking excellent care of my dog! He provided thorough daily updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Honey was happy and comfortable in his care. Looking forward to booking with Soly again and highly recommend to others!”

“Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Our golden retriever always has the best time at Caroline’s! She sends updates and photos during his stay and gives him all the love! We will always request her to babysit him if she is available. Thank you!”
“Paige was very reliable for watching my dog, and maintained good communication over the course of my dog's stay. I plan on using her services again the next time I need to board my dog.”
“Marc watched our dog, Max, while we were out of the country for our son's wedding. He was medically fragile and, at 15, we wouldn't have left him otherwise. While we were gone, Max's condition worsened. Marc took him to our vet twice while we were gone and went above and beyond in caring for our baby. Communication was excellent considering we were halfway around the world. Marc's care, as well as that of his family members, alowed us to be able to be with Max once we returned home and to be able to say that last goodbye.”
“Chip LOVED his stay with Felix. He came home truly tuckered out after a weekend of fun, and even learned to bring the ball back with fetch. I asked Felix if he wanted Chip’s travel crate and he said “where I go, Chip goes” which honestly gave me such peace of mind being my first time leaving him. It’s clear that Felix loves dogs, and I knew my Chip man was in great hands. We will definitely be seeing Felix again!!”

“Tatyana and her family are so kind! Meeting her before was the best thing so my dog could get acclimated to her space and her dog. She sent so many pictures and gave ample updates. She’s so knowledgeable and kind and moving forward will be the only one watching my baby. He was so comfortable and felt right at home. You can tell Tatyana truly has a passion for dogs! You can travel comfortable knowing your pup is in good care!?”
“Sarah was great with my dog Vala! We did a meet and greet beforehand since this was my first time using Rover. Her own dogs are so cute and I felt comfortable leaving Vala with her and her dogs for the weekend. She provided photos/updates while I was away, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future!”

About: I have been with rover, dog bording for about 3 years now. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.
“Lauren was very communicative on her drop-ins and spent lots of play time with our puppy. She gave us updates on her energy level and what she played with. She even cleaned up a little puppy accident which was above and beyond in my opinion. Will definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Great experience with Alaina taking care of my cat Isabella. Daily updates and picture of Isabella usually in the same spot and pose. Also fed birds and got my mail. Helped ease any anxiousness of leaving Isabella for a week or so. Will definitely book Alaina again. Thanks.”
“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!”
“Molly did a wonderful job with Doja. I am very thankful for her taking care of her while I was on vacation. She sent such cute pictures and communicated well. Thank you Molly, we appreciate you. ✨🐈⬛🩷”
“Maia was absolutely wonderful to work with. She meet with me and my two girls (cats) in advance of me leaving to ensure they were taken care of. While I was gone I never had any doubt they were in excellent hands! Will absolutely plan to work with Maia again on future leaves and would recommend to anybody else needing help caring for their beloved cats while away!”
“They were amazing, beyond kind, and very responsive! They sent lots of pictures and kept up on all tasks asked! I would trust them again and again. Will be booking again for our next trip :) Thanks!”
About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. As well as drop in visits to feed, walk or let pets out to do their business. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to bath them yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.
“She went above and beyond to take care of our cats! We got tons of photos each visit, regular communication, and she even grabbed a package or two left on the doorstep. Her care and attention to our pets extended to our home when she even shoveled the walkway during a blizzard. We highly recommend her!!”
“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 :)”
“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!!!”

About: I work remotely, which means I’m home a lot and able to give pets real attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins between errands. I’ve been a dog owner since 2009, and while my two dogs sadly passed away a few years back, that long experience really shaped how I understand routines, personalities, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I usually keep things crate-free so dogs can relax and feel at home; they’re welcome to lounge on the couch, their bed, my bed, or wherever they choose, and I want them to feel like they’re just hanging out in their second home. If your pup is crate-trained or prefers a crate routine though, I’m totally happy to stick with that too. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I’m pretty used to everything from energetic zoomies to picky eating to strong opinions about walk routes, so I try to meet each pet where they are and make them feel at home. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages so you’re never wondering how things are going, and can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for (and probably a little spoiled). Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into the day; walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout. Most pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which can be especially helpful for dogs that get anxious or just like having company. Overall, I try to keep things steady and predictable for pets, since they tend to do best with routine; regular walks, meals, playtime, and companionship built into the day so they feel comfortable and cared for. I offer flexible pet care in both my home and the client’s home, depending on what works best for each pet and their routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the day-to-day household in a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and settle in comfortably, with consistent routines for feeding, walks, rest, attention, and plenty of time for play and companionship so they feel at ease and not bored. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and following any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and anything else that helps them feel secure, while also making sure they get plenty of one-on-one attention so they still feel cared for while you’re away. If I’m house sitting, I also help keep things running smoothly by bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything stays secure, and I always provide regular updates with messages and photos so you know how things are going. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate midday check-ins, overnight stays, and longer care periods, and I’m also pretty adaptable if anything changes last minute. My goal is simply to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time.
“Puppy is home after his stay, and is happy, clean and very tired! Sitters are extremely responsive and accommodating, will definitely trust them with my boy again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life. I believe they are more than pets, they are trusted friends. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I work primarily from home. I’m away only 10-15 hours per week. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you for the love and benefit of your pet. I live in my new built home. There is a lot of area outside where we can walk, but I’ll never leave a dog unattended. I have my kids (aged 16 & 18) part time. They may be around. My kids love dogs.

“Will book again, it was nice for the dogs to have others like them to play together with and know that someone was watching them that has experience with this breed.”
“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: Hello fellow animal lover! I’m Bec, the matriarch of a family of 6 (5 humans 1 dog). As fun loving people, we look forward to having furry visitors to play with and care for. I work from home and go for walks often. The house is quiet during the day while the kiddos are in school, and more lively in the afternoon once everyone else is home! I like to go on adventures with all sorts (mostly mammals) but especially my dog Parker. She’s the best pal. To know her is to love her, but I might be able to say that about all dogs! She’s always waiting for the next furry friend to come over and play. I am a very go-with-the-flow type of person! My schedule is flexible, and my partner is a stay at home parent. Together we have time and attention to give to your beloved little pets! I have a fenced in yard for plenty of fun and play. I go for walks in my neighborhood. My home is a clean and clutter free environment that is puppy proofed!

“Daniel is a natural with dogs. Both of our dogs went to him immediately and couldn’t wait to go inside. They are not always like that with new people. Daniel kept me updated with a few photos and texts throughout the day. Will definitely use Daniel again.”

“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!”
“Kevin has been walking our dog, Obi for a few weeks now. He’s always been on time and has great availability.

Message me of what times work best for you. There are various places to walk dogs throughout the town.

If I'm watching the dog(s) for an extended period of time, I can either stay at the residence or visit as needed, whatever you prefer. I am unable to host/house pets since my current residence doesn’t allow it (terrible rule, I know), but I would be happy to travel to yours!

“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!”
“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”
“Michelle and her wonderful family wholly welcomed my dog Skye and made her feel so welcome at their beautiful property. She's a bit of a nervous girl, and Michelle was very in tune with her moods and needs. She was gently introduced to Michelle's dogs one at a time, and even got to sleep in a bed with a family member. Not only was Skye reassured and happy, I was too!”
