“This was our second time having Anne care for our dog at her house while we were out of town for a week. Anne is so personable and you can tell she really loves caring for these dogs and takes the trust families are giving her seriously. I appreciate how laid back Anne is, adjusting to each dog's own personality and quirks :) Our dog gets a little home sick but I always know Anne is loving on him as if he were her own and sends us updates and pictures frequently to put us at ease. We will definitely continue to book with Anne in the future!”

“Diana was the best dog sitter ever!! She sent us a bunch of pictures and wrote sweet updates on what Ellie was up to for my son to read. She was so thoughtful, took Ellie on a ton of walks and loved her like she was her own dog. I highly recommended Diana and will use her again!”

“Jenn was awesome! From the meet & greet to the weekend boarding. I was so nervous as it was our first time having to board our Aussiedoodle Jax. Jenn made sure to send us pictures & videos multiple times per day. It was such an added bonus to see our puppy just having the best time! She had toys & even took him swimming! I know Jax had a great time, he was wore out & sleeping as soon as we got home. She was really understanding & listening when I brought up his food allergies. I will continue using her for boarding & recommending her to our friends with dogs that may need it.”

I highly recommend Daina and Samuel if you are looking for somebody to take care of your pet(s). I will definitely be asking them to watch mine again. :)”
“Our dog had a fantastic stay at Felix's house. Felix offered a meet and greet before her stay and we could tell immediately that she would be in caring, attentive, capable hands. He was responsive throughout her stay and our dog was happy and healthy at pickup. I would highly recommend. Thanks, Felix!”

“Sarah was a delight to work with! She was excellent with communication, professional, friendly, and reliable. Overall she just put my mind at ease knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was out of town. We had Sarah do several drop in visits for our high energy/very spoiled cat over Christmas and he had all of needs met. This was the first time he wasn't crabby when we returned from a trip, so I definitely hope to utilize Sarah's services again. She treated my cat like one of her own!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

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!

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 :)
“We cannot state our appreciation for Beth further— she helped us out in a complete bind. We’re not from the area and travel with our dogs often so thought nothing of it when we had a wedding to attend in Holland but one dog decided she didn’t want to be quiet in our accommodations and we were told to figure it out or be evicted from the hotel (understandable). We put the call out to a few dog sitters over Rover and Beth responded quickly with compassion and responsiveness. We were able to drop our dogs with her after a very easy-going meeting to make sure all parties were comfortable and safe. It was easy to see Beth cared and had a great operation. We were able to attend the wedding and reception afterwards with peace of mind. We just scooped up our pups and they’re completely, happily pooped. I would recommend Beth to anyone who is looking for someone with a giant heart and generous soul to take care of their pups. Thanks again, Beth!!!”
About: I’ve cared for, trained, and loved animals for 40+ years and would be happy to care for yours while you are away. I know how important check ins are so you can be sure your fur baby is well & happy! I work from home most days so my schedule is flexible and allows me to be home with your fur baby! My home is comfortable and pet friendly and if they are sun seekers I have a great deck for them to lounge on. I have a fenced in back yard with room to roam and live in a safe cul-de-sac neighborhood perfect for dog walking! Couches are not off limits in my house 😊
“Amber did a great job taking care of Riley and Henry. She agreed to watch my dogs on short notice and was very accommodating when I needed to extend their visit. Riley and Henry had a great time playing with her dogs too. Highly recommend her!”
“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. ❤️”
“My YorkiePoo loves his buddy Terry and his wife, Chuckie. He attends doggy daycare weekly and is always at our garage door ready to go. He has met several playmates and is always excited when I pick him up.🐶🐾🐕🦺”
“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!”

“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.”
“Mike took great care of my girl for the day! She was able to run around & play with new friends and then rest in the home without needing a crate. I can tell he treats all of his clients like family.”
“I was really nervous about leaving Chino with a non family member for the first time but Lauryn was so great about keeping me updated and sending pictures! I was very happy with her and would recommend her again :)”

“Jacy was absolutely fantastic! Cinder had an amazing time with her. She sent frequent updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Her home and yard were the perfect place for pups to run, play, and have a great time. What really set her apart was how she went above and beyond. At the end of the day, she surprised us with a few printed photos of Cinder to take home, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and the people who trust her with them. We could tell Cinder was happy, well cared for, and having an absolute blast. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jacy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter!”

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’ve had experience working at a doggie daycares and kennels. I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 5pm-11pm. 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.
“Mandy did a get job with Stella and Lacee on Thanksgiving Day! We came home after 13 hours and both dogs were calm and happy to see us and there were no messes! We really appreciate her care for them. We’ll book again I’m sure. Jan”
About: Hi, my name is Zuri! I’ve been around animals all my life! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, lizards, geckos, fish, goats, chickens, and so much more! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, and age! I’ve dog-sat and cared for animals for friends and family for years. Communication is very important to me so I like to keep in touch with all my clients. I am currently available all day Saturday and Sunday and 5 pm- 12 am Monday to Friday! I am available to do overnight stays during the weekend and require only 24 hours' notice for drop-in visits. I have a large backyard and 2-3 other dogs who can keep your pup company! As well as 2 barn cats and chickens! I have a large outdoor crate and a smaller indoor crate if your pup becomes overwhelmed and needs a break. I typically walk my dog 2 miles in the morning, and then play fetch and tug-of-war for an hour after we train for 30 minutes, I do this 3-6 times a day depending on my schedule for the day!
About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but just need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY PET BACKGROUND: I have experience housesitting with dogs/cats for up to a week. In this time, I maintained the house, watered plants, fed both cats and dogs, took care of trash and mail, etc. My family has had up to 8 dogs at once, ranging from puppy to senior. Now, we currently have 3 dogs and even a pet rabbit. I found a passion for training pets/encouraging good behavior, which led me to teach my pup tricks like roll over, bang bang, dance, etc., and we both loved every minute! We also took in a stray feral cat (was stuck in a car hood, long story), and for the past few months I have successfully worked hard to make a connection and bond with her! I do also help care for the cat in my home in Indiana. I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, with my shift typically starting at 3pm. My schedule does tend to shift around, but on days I do work, I am flexible with when I can watch your loved one and am willing to visit as much as possible before and after work. However, when I'm not working, I am more than happy to spend as much time with your pet as possible/wanted. While in your home, I will be around your pet 24/7, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I love playing with pets but can also enforce rules and regulations set up for your pet with ease. I can handle crating, leashing, feeding, picking up messes, and more. If housesitting, I am happy to assist in pickup and general house upkeep, including trash night, collecting mail, dusting, etc.
About: My Golden Retriever, Dutch, loves animals of all sizes! I provide pet sitting in my home and welcome your best friend to stay while you are away. Walks around our quiet neighborhood and trips to the dog park (if appropriate) are part of our pet sitting package. I take only one dog at a time (two if from the same family) to ensure your dog has a special stay while you are away! I work remotely several days a week, and close by and can come home as needed when scheduled ahead. I also have a puppy cam to keep an eye on things while I am away! Lifelong dog mom, caring for other dogs brings me a sense of joy! My home is clean and safe for your dog. I have a field behind me and Dutch enjoys laying in the sun and snow in our back yard. Your dog will be walked daily and can be contained in the back yard if they enjoy being outside. I have references upon request and a long history raising and caring for dogs.
About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens! I only work a couple of hours each week so I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! We have a dog that also loves having friends come over! We treat our dog, cats and bunnies as members of the family and will treat your pets the same! We look forward to caring for your pets!
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience supporting pets through all life stages and needs. Whether your pet requires medication management, specialized diet adherence, mobility assistance, or extra patience due to age or disability, I approach each animal as an individual deserving attentive, compassionate care. I don’t just follow instructions, I notice subtle changes in behavior, anticipate needs, and communicate proactively with owners so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working part time as a painter, part time with Rover, and volunteering for Harbor Humane, but worry not. I can make my schedule completely open for any pet care needs. I will rarely be unavailable. I prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort above all. Whether that means leash walks through your neighborhood, supervised backyard play in their familiar space, or respecting crating schedules you’ve established, I adapt to what works for your pet, not what’s easiest for me. I ensure fresh water is always available, meals are served on time, and any special instructions (door security, alarm codes, plant watering) are followed exactly. Beyond the basics, I make time for real connection like belly rubs, play sessions, or just calm companionship for anxious pets. You’ll come home to a pet who felt cared for, not just looked after.
About: Hi! I’m Lizzy! Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an experienced and reliable sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between! I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets behind. That’s why I treat every animal like they’re my own, offering personalized care, consistent updates (yes, I’ll send all the cute photos!), and plenty of play, snuggles, and attention. 🐶 Dogs: Long walks, belly rubs, and tons of playtime 🐱 Cats: Patience, affection, and a calm presence they’ll feel safe around 🏡 In-Home Care: Respectful of your space—your home will be just as you left it Whether your pup needs daily walks or your cat just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll tailor my care to your pets’ personalities and routines. I’m also experienced with medication, senior pet care, and shy animals who need a little extra time to warm up. Let’s chat and see if I’m a good fit for your furry family—I’d love to help I typically work evening shifts, which means I’m fully available for pet care in the mornings, early afternoons, and overnight. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, mid-day attention, or overnight care and companionship, I’ve got you covered! I treat my house guests just as do my own animals! With lots of love and attention. If I am in your home, I adhere to all of your preferences and your schedule so your animal feels the most comfortable they can while you are gone.
“Samantha is awesome with my 18-month-old Boxer, Sophie. Sophie warmed up to Samantha and her children immediately and had a great time on their walks! Samantha was prompt, professional, and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking her to help out with Sophie again!”
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: Hi! I’m Eric. I work full time in child welfare, and in my free time, I care for dogs because I truly enjoy it. Pets deserve the same level of attention, trust, and consistency as people do, and that’s the standard I bring to every visit. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs most of my life. My rescue dog, Avery, was with me for 10 wonderful years. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether they’re hyper, laid back, anxious, or affectionate, I know how to read their behavior and respond with calm, confident care. When I care for your pets, I focus on providing a safe, relaxed, and fun experience. Whether your dog needs structure, play, or just company, I’ll be present and tuned in. I’m not rushing through visits. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I would give my own. You’ll receive clear communication, photo updates, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also a photographer, so if you’d like portraits of your pet while you’re gone, feel free to ask. I’m usually available on weekends and take a limited number of clients so I can give each pet my full attention. If you’re looking for dependable, thoughtful care from someone who takes this seriously, reach out any time. I work full time so Mondays to Thursdays I’m available after 5pm. Friday-Sunday I’m much more flexible to care for your pet! Feel free to ask questions. I specialize in drop-in visits and walks for pet parents who want true peace of mind — the kind that comes from knowing their dog or cat is being cared for with attention, patience, and professionalism. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need extra help, I make sure your pets feel safe and loved in their own home. I provide calm, respectful care and always send detailed updates so you’re never left wondering how it went. I try to care for your pets as close to you want me to. I can take notes on how you’d want me to care for your pet or you can give me printed instructions.

I have enrichment puzzles for dogs and a big yard. I also am close to a dog park. Or walking trails for hikes!
About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.

“Frances was great with my dog. She had multiple dogs throughout the stay and so my dog was never bored and played a lot. She did one update a day but usually had 2-3+ pictures with her updates. Would book again if I was in the area.”
“This was our second time having Anne care for our dog at her house while we were out of town for a week. Anne is so personable and you can tell she really loves caring for these dogs and takes the trust families are giving her seriously. I appreciate how laid back Anne is, adjusting to each dog's own personality and quirks :) Our dog gets a little home sick but I always know Anne is loving on him as if he were her own and sends us updates and pictures frequently to put us at ease. We will definitely continue to book with Anne in the future!”

“Our dog had a fantastic stay at Felix's house. Felix offered a meet and greet before her stay and we could tell immediately that she would be in caring, attentive, capable hands. He was responsive throughout her stay and our dog was happy and healthy at pickup. I would highly recommend. Thanks, Felix!”
“Janelle was fantastic and knows how hard it is to leave behind your family member. She was very reassuring and sent us photos and wonderful messages everyday. We could not have asked for a better caretaker for our pup!! She had fun adventures with their dogs and got plenty of play time outdoors. Janelle went above and beyond and helped ensure all things went smoothly. We are so grateful for the care she gave our dog and we couldn’t be happier!”
