“Christopher made my dog feel at ease and kept him happy and entertained. I was happy to receive regular reports and photos. I will definitely have my pup stay with Christopher again!”
“Pamela was so sweet from the start and I had a good feeling about leaving my pup with her. She seemed genuinely excited to get to know him, give her sweet dog some friend time, and provide as many cuddles as he needed. That impression was absolutely correct if not underestimating how much she cares and enjoys taking care of pups. I have never used a pet service to take care of Deacon and she completely settled my concerns and exceeded my expectations. I would love to hire her again!”
“Our puppers are exhausted!! Must have had a lot of play time! This is our second time with Derek and the care makes it easy for me to bring them somewhere other than having someone come and check on them. Thank you Derek.”
“Beth provides a welcoming home and we know our dog was well cared for on our trip. She was great with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. We would not hesitate to book Beth again. Highly recommend!”
“Sam was great! Larry had an awesome time hanging out with them. They were very professional, responsive and caring. They treated Larry like he was one of their own. When future needs arise we will for sure contact Sam again.”
“I rarely ever leave Molly even with a good friend. She made herself at home with Frances and family. She ate just fine and was well cared for. I will definitely rebook specifically with Frances the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“Thank you Stephenie !! Great experience with our pet sitter! She kept us updated by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Zoey was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!”
“Daniel was amazing! From the very beginning, he invited us to his home so we could feel more comfortable and showed us his backyard. While Nala stayed with him, he kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time. He was super attentive and always made sure everything was going well. We could really tell he cared about Nala. Highly recommend him! 🐶✨”
“This was the longest trip we’ve ever left both dogs with a sitter, Brenda was amazing with communication and updates making us feel at ease, our two Siberian huskies absolutely love love her fenced in 2 acres she was great with taking them to the dog park and making sure they felt right at home, we would highly recommend Brenda!”
“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❤️”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Sent me so many check in photos, my dogs looked like they were having a blast. They didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up 😅. Highly recommend her.”
“Finley had a great time with Kristin and Dan and their daughter! He got lots of love and snuggles and seemed very comfortable in their home. We appreciated the pictures and the great communication, and we will definitely have Finley stay with them again in the future!”
“Sylvia was fantastic. It was great peace of mind to leave him with her for a few days knowing he was going to be well taken care of. Our kids loved getting regular photos!”
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 :)
“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation. Christina was an excellent communicator and was very flexible with adjusting Oliver’s care instructions when needed during his stay. We are so grateful that Oliver had a place to stay that gave him the same TLC he receives from us at home.”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for a quick sat-sun trip and Kristina made us feel so comfortable leaving Mabel with her. She shared several photos throughout the weekend and we appreciated the one on one care she gave to our puppy. We hope to book with her again in the future! 😄”

He does however, easily respect if other dogs do not want the attention. I am also located in between quite a few dog parks. Quincy park, East End Park (both fenced) Kirk Park, which has a great dog beach! Mulligans and Pigeon park are a couple of other places I love to walk (or run) my pup! We love going to dog parks!! My husband and son also would also love to play with your pup! If you bother to look at my pictures, it is pretty evident that we love to take our dog everywhere with us! My husband will also bring our dog to work with him.
“Amanda was a terrific caregiver for Jake and Henry. She checked on them daily, took time to play with Jake (Henry is a grump), and sent photos and updates to me. She is a great communicator and obviously loves animals. This gave me tremendous peace of mind on our three-week trip, especially because Jake was new to us one month before we left! Highly recommend!”
“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!”

“Another excellent Rover.com experience this Tim for Oscar with Frances and Jeremy! I felt comfortable with them right away. Oscar was a little timid at first but they knew how to handle it. It was good for me to not stress leaving him in hotel room by himself. Good for Oscar to meet new friends (first time he actually bonded with a guy). So appreciate you being so welcoming!”
“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!”

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 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.

My full time job tends to be quite flexible so I am generally able to work around pet outings and care routines on week days. During weekend am I generally able to be with pets full time. Pet safety and owner trust comes first. I am always attentive to the rules owners set when caring for their pets as pet safety and care is the most important thing.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young girl, about 20 years now! I’m honored to meet new animals and gain their trust, showing them love, kindness, and fun! Animals really are so important to me, I’m a devout vegetarian and animal-advocate, with hopes to open a no-kill rescue in the future for all types of animals. I am a graduate student who works part time from home. My weekly routine is flexible and ready to fit your needs! Whatever works for you! I’ll care for your pet like my own. I go on long walks, know how to train dogs, and can take care of special needs.
About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I was the family member who loved my dogs the most and was relied on to feed, walk, and take care of them. I walk my dogs every day and it's a highlight of my day! I also am asked to take care of my friend's pets many times as well. Along with that, I volunteer at an animal shelter every week. Here I get to hang out with the dogs and take them on walks. I love it! When I am home from school I take care of my dogs all the time. I walk them every day, feed them, bathe them, and anything else they need, I do. I also volunteer at an animal shelter every week. I have a fenced-in yard with two other dogs. One energetic one who loves to play, and an old geezer who loves to sleep. In your home, I can do whatever you need for your dog.
About: I’ve had pets in my house for a majority of my life and have spent that time helping to care for them. I have also been watching others pets for about three years now, including both cats and dogs. Tasks included feeding on a schedule, taking for walks / outside to go potty, cleaning/scooping the litter box, and of course making sure they’re safe and not getting into any trouble while you’re gone. I have hands on experience in watching after and caring for a terminally ill dog for about six months. Those tasks included changing his dressing (he had an open wound that refused to heal), giving medications on a schedule, and giving enrichment that he could enjoy with limited energy. I also have hands on experience with reactive dogs, so please know that I will love your reactive pup just as much. I can do basic training, but my favorite part of the job is showering the animals with love and attention. This is my full time job! I have a few side gigs that I work on remotely and can do from just about anywhere so long as I have WiFi access to communicate with my colleagues! I’m used to many kinds of temperaments, from “you stay in your corner and I’ll stay in mine” to “I need to be as close to you as possible at all times” and will respect your dogs needs. I prefer setting up a time before the sitting starts where I can just get to know the pet(s) and get an idea of their normal schedule. This way they can meet me while everyone is home so they feel most comfortable, and I’m not a complete stranger once I begin sitting or come over to let them out for a potty break.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and lots of other animals, like lizards and birds, and I’ve always loved building bonds with them—it’s something that makes me feel really special 😌🐾 I work 12-hour shifts with a rotating schedule (3–4 days a week), and I’m hoping to keep busy on my days off. I always ask questions because owners know their pets best. I want to understand the dos and don’ts—some pets are allowed on furniture, others aren’t. I make sure to follow the same rules while caring for them so their environment stays consistent and comfortable with me.

“Christopher made my dog feel at ease and kept him happy and entertained. I was happy to receive regular reports and photos. I will definitely have my pup stay with Christopher again!”
“Pamela was so sweet from the start and I had a good feeling about leaving my pup with her. She seemed genuinely excited to get to know him, give her sweet dog some friend time, and provide as many cuddles as he needed. That impression was absolutely correct if not underestimating how much she cares and enjoys taking care of pups. I have never used a pet service to take care of Deacon and she completely settled my concerns and exceeded my expectations. I would love to hire her again!”
“Our puppers are exhausted!! Must have had a lot of play time! This is our second time with Derek and the care makes it easy for me to bring them somewhere other than having someone come and check on them. Thank you Derek.”
“Beth provides a welcoming home and we know our dog was well cared for on our trip. She was great with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. We would not hesitate to book Beth again. Highly recommend!”
“Sam was great! Larry had an awesome time hanging out with them. They were very professional, responsive and caring. They treated Larry like he was one of their own. When future needs arise we will for sure contact Sam again.”
“I rarely ever leave Molly even with a good friend. She made herself at home with Frances and family. She ate just fine and was well cared for. I will definitely rebook specifically with Frances the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“Daniel was amazing! From the very beginning, he invited us to his home so we could feel more comfortable and showed us his backyard. While Nala stayed with him, he kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time. He was super attentive and always made sure everything was going well. We could really tell he cared about Nala. Highly recommend him! 🐶✨”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Sent me so many check in photos, my dogs looked like they were having a blast. They didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up 😅. Highly recommend her.”
“Finley had a great time with Kristin and Dan and their daughter! He got lots of love and snuggles and seemed very comfortable in their home. We appreciated the pictures and the great communication, and we will definitely have Finley stay with them again in the future!”
“Sylvia was fantastic. It was great peace of mind to leave him with her for a few days knowing he was going to be well taken care of. Our kids loved getting regular photos!”
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 :)
“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation. Christina was an excellent communicator and was very flexible with adjusting Oliver’s care instructions when needed during his stay. We are so grateful that Oliver had a place to stay that gave him the same TLC he receives from us at home.”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for a quick sat-sun trip and Kristina made us feel so comfortable leaving Mabel with her. She shared several photos throughout the weekend and we appreciated the one on one care she gave to our puppy. We hope to book with her again in the future! 😄”
“Jamie is a 5 star dog sitter. Her and her family brought our dog, Brodie, in and made him part of their family. She sent pictures and communicated with us daily. Definitely will hire her again.”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
About: Hamsters, fish, lizards, dogs, rabbits, and cats ill care for just about anything and also have experience on my own in half of them! I do best if there are supplemental instructions and having a way to still communicate if I ever bump into an issue. I am not sure what my work schedule looks like yet but I can always work around and make sure I’m providing the pet care needed. I have a dog and two rabbits both indoor. I will probably have to bring dogs out on a leash since the yard isn’t gated.
