“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”

“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”

“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”

“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”

“Tracy took great care of our babies! She took them on frequent walks, got them some good treats, and updated us frequently with pictures. Will absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Vinnie is so well cared for when he visits Terry and his wife! Vinnie gets lots of interactions with other dogs, has a beautiful fenced in area to run around and lots of cozy places to nap! This allows our family to have a relaxing vacation and we enjoy the daily pictures from Terry! Thank you again! The Moliterno Family❤️”

“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”

“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

“Jayme took exceptional care of my senior dog while we were gone for almost 2 weeks. She was easy to communicate with and we arranged a meet & greet after I initially booked, which went well. Her home and yard were perfect for my dog and she answered any questions I had. My dog has a few medications she had to take and this was not an issue at all. She and her family were so welcoming and loving to my dog, who has mobility issues and separation anxiety. She also sent me photos and updates throughout the time she was watching my dog, which was so welcomed. I never once felt like I was concerned or worried about how things were going while in her care. When I picked up my dog, she was very obviously comfortable in her home! She and her family were a true blessing to us in our time of need for a pet sitter and we’d love to have her help again in the future. Thank you!”

“Samantha is fantastic. We've booked her multiple times this year, and never been disappointed. Our dog is on the older side and needs a bit of special care, and Samantha takes wonderful care of her. We always trust that our dog is safe and happy in Samantha's hope. 10/10 will rebook in the future!”


“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”

“Jacob took great care of our dog while we were away! We were kept updated, and a very happy pup was returned to us. Extremely impressed with the service, would highly recommend and absolutely book again.”

“Alex was awesome! Warm, welcoming and flexible. GusGus had a great time playing with her little dog and getting snuggles from her sweet kids. I definitely recommend esp for happy dogs that “play well with others””

“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Sarah went above and beyond with our cats! They are all typically pretty shy but they warmed up to her immediately. She kept us updated with pictures and videos each day while we were away. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be using her again!”

“Emily was wonderful to work with and took great care of my cat while we were away. She made sure to send pictures frequently and was great with communication and updates. She played with our cat well and made sure that she got attention during visits. I would recommend!”

“Madison was a wonderful cat and house sitter. Cats were happy and well taken care of and the house was very clean. Also, Madison last minute booking was very helpful and her communication is easy and timely.”


“Lauren was so great with our two kitties. They warmed up to her very quickly, which is unusual for them. We felt good knowing they were in her care! Wonderful sitter and would love to have come back again.”

“Mandy was very professional! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing fury animal care. Not only that but she even took care of my aquarium fish by feeding them. She's very flexible with her time and proved to be very dependable. I can't say enough good things. Job well done and I will be using her in the future.”
“I would highly recommend booking visits for your animals with Lydia. She sends tons of detail along with her picture and video updates while you are away to keep you informed. She spent time getting to know my animal and relating with him. I couldn’t recommend her services more!”


About: My grandma was a typical cat lady with several kitties. She introduced me to cats, but my mom was allergic so we stuck to dogs. Until 2020 when an abandoned little cat came to my door. I now have my own cat, Russell, who is 6.

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”


“Brenna was amazing with our cat. She went above and beyond taking care of him and our house. My cat loved her and my mind was at ease while away knowing he was getting love and care. She gave very detailed updates as well as lots of pictures and always responded quickly. I highly recommend Brenna and will book her again in the future! Thank you!!”


About: I have taken care of cats along side dogs when owning my dog walking and pet sitting business. My husbands family has always owned kittens and cats and my boys have grown to love them as well, so I have learned a lot and seem to have a special place in my heart for them.
“Kevin took excellent care of our furbabies while we were on vacation! Punctual, communicative, and shared photos and details of his visits that helped us feel confident that our girls were in good hands. Will use Kevin for pet care services in the future.”

“She was so good with Lahey!! He is such an active dog and needs alot of exercise, and she was able to give him all the play time he needed!!! Such a great lady and really cares for your pet as if it were her own!!!”

“We had a great experience with Shannon taking care of our dog, Stitch. She was very kind, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that Stitch was in such good hands.”

“Gave my boy a wonderful active day. Lots of walks and boy was he tired out from the day. Lots of playing and attention. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook with Samuel if we come back to this part of the state. Made our anniversary trip so easy knowing he was safe and well taken care of. ❤️”

“Cub had another fantastic play date with his friend Mabel! I know he’s treated well because he gets super excited when we show up to their house! He’ll be looking forward to the next hangout :)”

“We were in town for a family reunion and needed to have Beignet & Brie cared for. So fortunate to have Terry care for our babies. They loved being there. They were happy and content and felt right at home with him immediately. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you Terry!”

“Dick and Deborah were amazing. Opie had so much fun in the 6 hours he was there, he was sleeping before we even got to the first stop sign. The whole family was so sweet to him and gave him so much lovin. If we ever need a dog sitter again in the GR area, they'll be the only sitters we'll use.”

“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”

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.
“Krysten was very easy to communicate with and made us feel confident leaving Daryl in her care. He seemed to have made himself at home and enjoyed his visit. We would certainly book with Krysten again.”

About: As an experienced and reliable pet sitter, I focus on providing loving, attentive care for every dog I look after. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I make it my mission to keep them safe, happy, and well-loved at all times. Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable stay-at-home mom to two loving girls — and a lifelong dog lover! Caring for pups fits perfectly into our family life. You can count on me for dependable care, great communication, and plenty of doggy loves! 🐾 Dedicated dog sitter providing reliable, attentive care. Regular walks, crate if needed, feeding schedules followed, comfortable with senior dogs. Your furry friend will receive love, attention, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾
“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”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with Lilly - taking her to the dog park, giving her plenty of snuggles, and keeping me updated with photos throughout. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Lilly was in such loving and capable hands. I am super impressed and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha has completely exceeded our expectations and has been so wonderful to our puppy! She watched Felix every day for us this week and has been beyond helpful/flexible and amazing with our work schedules. She keeps me well informed and updated throughout the day and sends the CUTEST photos. So cute I’m going to have to get some of them framed. I know he’s been walked and has had sufficient play time just by how tired he is when coming home. With him being a puppy, he chews and gets into things he isn’t supposed to. I can tell from Samantha’s updates that she is patient and works with him on behavioral issues. We feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and are excited to take Felix back next week!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.
About: Hello, I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal as if they were my own. I have a genuine love for pets and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box and cleanup duties, and maintaining your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress.

My job allows me to work remote and I homeschool my children who are also great assistants. You can rest assured your furry family member will get alot of love and attention. I work from home and homeschool my 2 teens. We have a very flexible schedule that makes us a great fit to care for and love on your fur baby. I have a large partially unfinished basement with room enough to run and play fetch. Couches to jump on or sleep on. Crates are also an option if needed.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.
About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Sarah is so great! Professional, caring and attentive. Our pets are so well cared for when she is visiting! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding attention to their pets’ needs!”


About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
About: II’ve been pet sitting for my sister for the past two years, including full week stays while her family travels. During that time, I’ve cared for her two cats – feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them plenty of love and playtime. Cats are easygoing, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have my own dog and cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I take my dog on regular walks and love bringing her to the park. Sometimes my cat even joins the adventure! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for. I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 3–6 pm. Outside those hours I’m available for walks, play, feeding, and maintaining your pet’s schedule; I’ll update you if anything changes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home whether I’m caring for them in my space or in theirs. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel relaxed and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, since every pet is different. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always make sure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure everything stays neat while giving their pets plenty of love and attention. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and having fun.
About: Family and friends always ask my availability when they need a dog sitter before going anywhere else. They have also nicknamed me the dog-whisperer after dogs seem to welcome me very quickly. I've already gone on lots of walks/runs with another dog walking service, so I know how to love on your dog, properly fasten a leash, and understand how to console your dog if a vicious bicyclist happens to terrorize the neighborhood. I've yet to find a dog that I haven't enjoyed hanging out with, although Huskies have always been my favorite. I've been able to help train my family's dogs, some with more persistent, but still an overall success. A fun fact about me is I used to go out of my way to collect all the Beanie Baby dogs, and I still have that collection to this day.
“Julio has been an amazing dog walker for my Labrador Retriever mix, Sadie! He’s always communicative, reliable, and flexible with our schedule. What truly sets him apart is the genuine love and compassion he shows toward animals — Sadie absolutely loves him. He consistently goes above and beyond, and I fully trust him with any pet service. I highly recommend Julio to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly caring with pets!”

About: I started my personal experience training an animal when I was 16 or 17 raising our family beagle puppy. I have always had a genuine love and curiosity for dogs. They each have such unique, individual personalities and they are more than just animals. They become your best friends! It amazes me to see their compassion and loyalty to their humans. In the past year, I have boarded several different dogs with my husband at our house, and I have also stayed at pet parents houses to watch their dogs as well. It is my desire to treat others dogs with the same love, kindness, and respect that their owners give them each day! I value the variety of structures that people set up for their pets and I will obey those structures. Overall, I will do my best to make your dog feel comfortable and happy during their time apart from their family 😊. I have a full-time position located in Grand Haven, but I only go into the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. My day off is Monday so I definitely have flexibility on that day, and I am at home most of the day Wednesdays, Fridays, and also Saturdays in the morning/afternoon and Sundays in the evening. Depending on the location of the dog, I can make a stop for a drop in or walk on my way to or from work in Grand Haven because it is about a 45 minute drive. If the pet is within 25-30 minutes from my home, I can easily make that drive on the days I work from home. For the days that I have to leave for chunks of time, my husband can also help out if the dog is staying at home with us! I do not have much of a yard at my home, but we live right next to a very spacious park and love to take our furry friends on long walks! We prefer to crate them when we are not at home but we are usually only gone a couple hours at a time if that. We are open to them sleeping in our bed with us depending on the size of the dog 😊. When I stay in a clients home to watch their dog, I am pretty open and flexible to their needs. I have watched dogs who have very specific diets, walking schedules, and sleep schedules.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats through owning family pets and helping care for animals belonging to friends and relatives. As a pre-veterinary student at Grand Valley State University, I am passionate about animal health, safety, and well-being. I have also gained hands-on experience through veterinary shadowing, where I observed animal handling, patient care, and communication with pet owners. I am attentive to each pet's unique needs and committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you are away. I currently have full availability for the summer and can provide flexible pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. As a pre-veterinary student at Grand Valley State University, I enjoy spending time with animals and am excited to dedicate my summer to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and attentive care. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or during a visit, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. As a pre-veterinary student with veterinary shadowing experience, I understand the importance of monitoring animal behavior and well-being. I strive to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you are away.

About: I have owned pets my entire life! I have never lived in a house without at least 1 dog. My family have always been animal lovers so I grew up with a lot of animals. Not only dogs but I’ve also had bunnies, hedgehogs,fish,birds and livestock! I have a two year old golden retriever Marley that is my whole life and we go on walks and to the beach very often! Not only do I have experience with puppies but also senior dogs. I am very available and can help with your pet needs at any time! I am available all week long from anytime early in the morning to about 5pm My Golden Retriever loves to be outside so we are out there for a lot of our day! We go for walks everyday as well as going to the park sometimes and the beach on the weekends!
About: My name is Emily and I absolutely love all furry friends! I used to have a rescue dog which was a papillon but sadly she became sick. :( I have also rescued a cat that we owned for couple months before finding him a forever home! I miss having a dog or pet around and would love to help care for your furry family member! I am a teacher so I am fairly open during the summer and still available on the weekends during the school year and some afternoons/evenings. Our family can still board your pup on Tuesdays-Thursdays but they would just have to go longer stretches before a walk on those days. I do have two sons who are 7 and 4 so I do ask that your pet be good with kids. They both absolutely love animals. The only breeds we are not comfortable with are pit bulls, boxers and Rottweilers. I am a very active person and love taking love walks and runs outside. Our family is not in a place to own a pet permanently right now, so we love taking care of other animals! Our yard is not fenced in but we provide multiple walks a day for your pup! We have had great success with this with our other dogs.
About: I have owned a dog all of my life and I love pets and animals more than anything. For the past four years our family has owned 2 dogs and I started taking on a more responsible role. I am very good with all animals and can promise they will be very well taken care of! I am currently a full time student at grand valley state university with lots of random free time! Reach out and we can connect to figure out a time that works best for your pup! I will spend however much time needed with your animals and make sure all of their needs are met. They will also get lots of attention and love from me.

“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”

“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”

“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”

“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”

“Tracy took great care of our babies! She took them on frequent walks, got them some good treats, and updated us frequently with pictures. Will absolutely use her again in the future!”

“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”

“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

“Jayme took exceptional care of my senior dog while we were gone for almost 2 weeks. She was easy to communicate with and we arranged a meet & greet after I initially booked, which went well. Her home and yard were perfect for my dog and she answered any questions I had. My dog has a few medications she had to take and this was not an issue at all. She and her family were so welcoming and loving to my dog, who has mobility issues and separation anxiety. She also sent me photos and updates throughout the time she was watching my dog, which was so welcomed. I never once felt like I was concerned or worried about how things were going while in her care. When I picked up my dog, she was very obviously comfortable in her home! She and her family were a true blessing to us in our time of need for a pet sitter and we’d love to have her help again in the future. Thank you!”

“Samantha is fantastic. We've booked her multiple times this year, and never been disappointed. Our dog is on the older side and needs a bit of special care, and Samantha takes wonderful care of her. We always trust that our dog is safe and happy in Samantha's hope. 10/10 will rebook in the future!”


“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”

“Jacob took great care of our dog while we were away! We were kept updated, and a very happy pup was returned to us. Extremely impressed with the service, would highly recommend and absolutely book again.”

“Alex was awesome! Warm, welcoming and flexible. GusGus had a great time playing with her little dog and getting snuggles from her sweet kids. I definitely recommend esp for happy dogs that “play well with others””


About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
