“Kristopher R. & Family are incredible hosts. Regular updates helped us a lot. Our dog suffered a lot of trauma before his rescue. Usually when he comes home from boarding, he is pretty withdrawn and dirty. Today we picked him up and was himself immediately. Thank you for providing a great experience for not only our dog, but also us!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Dan and Kelly and it went very well! Henry loved the care and playtime he received and I really appreciated Dan’s communication and updates. I would book with them again. :)”
“Colby had a great stay at your house! She can be skiddish, but not this time. She ate, took over your chair and had fun exploring the fenced in yard. Thank you so much for treating her like family!”
“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Laura and her family were great! Awesome communication and you can tell they truly love your dog as if they are their own. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Excellent choice for boarding your dog! 5 Stars!!”

“My dogs have very different personalities but they both seemed content after spending the weekend with Caroline. We got regular updates as well, which eased our minds!”
“Amy did a wonderful job looking after our Beagle, Harvey for an extended weekend away. She was particularly good at giving us updates on how the dogs were doing throughout the weekend”
“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.”
“We left our pug with Sherri and her family and were so happy we did! Sherri took exceptional care of our pet and we could tell that she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sherri. She was exceedingly conscientious and caring and Junebug came back to us happy and healthy!!”

Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with her again. I think Henry had so much fun playing with the other dogs!”
“Tatyana was fantastic! Our dog can be a bit anxious when we leave and she was great about meeting all of his needs. Tatyana truly loves dogs and had such great communication with us during Jet’s stay! We felt comfortable that he was taken care of and, more importantly, he was loved! We would highly recommend her for your baby!”

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.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 11, and my family adopted two adorable barn cats. Since then, I've cared for countless cats of neighbors and friends and adopted a sweet kitten of my own!
“Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!”
“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”
“Lexi took great care of our cat while we were gone, she is really great about sending pics & videos. It was really nice to not have to worry about leaving the cat alone because I knew she was being well taken care of. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

“SHERRI IS AMAZING! She took my booking last minute and was SO attentive! She has a lovely dog Goro loved playing with and a fenced in yard but she also gave him walks which I thought was so amazing. 10/10 best Rovers experience I’ve had :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently have a rescue that is a Cur/Dalmatian mix. I fostered a German Shepherd and just found him his forever home! My previous pup was a pure bred red-nose pit! I work from home so am available for all needs! And yes, my dog does sleep on my bed! Lots of outdoor toys to tire them out! I have a fenced in yard and a “puppy pool” for those hot days! I live in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent dog walking route, even have a neighbor who put out dog treats in a mailbox for frequent walkers!
“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.”
“Great experience. She was flexible with our arrival and departure times, as we were running behind for both. Dog seemed quite happy when we picked her up. Would absolutely use Sarah's service again. Thank you.”
“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: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online. And my schedule is very flexible, as I can study my Carnivore behavior course anyplace there is Internet. I take my pet sitting job very seriously. It's my honor and responsibility to make sure all of your baby's needs are met. I follow any instructions and always double check locks, bring in the mail and take out garbage if needed. My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”
About: I've always loved working with animals. My family has owned pets that range from large dogs to small kittens. Since I was young, I've grown in experience taking care of farm animals and household pets. Some of my jobs have included training a puppy to do some basic tricks, caring for an older pup in her last days, bathing dogs, playing with cats, long walks with high energy dogs, and cuddles with the low energy ones. I'm currently working as an intern in downtown Grand Rapids. I'm able to work around my flexible schedule to give your pet the care that it needs. Typically, I work all day Thursday, but I'm willing to work with you to fit your schedule best! Since I am in an apartment, I am sadly unable to provide boarding services at my residence. However, I have a car and am more than willing to travel to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home!
About: I work part time for Lowell Area Schools. But on my free time I love to play outside with my kids and animals. I also like going for runs. I would love to help care for your fur babies. I have a dog named Ollie he is 7. We also have a pet bunny. She is a 2 year old lionhead. Her name is Tilly. We also have a horse named Harley. I am very experienced with most all pets.
About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.
About: I will provide your furry family member with a loving environment as I walk or check-in on them. In addition to caring for my own dog and cat, I have taken care of clients’ pets in their home, in my own home, and have volunteered at shelters. I know all the right scratch spots for dogs and cats alike and I’m sure we will get along right away! I also have experience with high-energy, fearful/anxious, senior, and special-needs pets. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry loved ones! I am available 7 days a week with the option for overnight stays. My schedule is flexible, allowing us to easily find a suitable time for pet care. I always prioritize providing a safe, loving, supportive environment for every pet I care for. I always make sure to communicate with pet owners about any special needs their pet may have that could impact their safety.
“Abigail has been so wonderful!! My mini poodle is 9 months old and he can be a handful at times, Abigail is very patient and kind to him. I was able to set up a repeating schedule to cover my work days. She is very dependable and understanding. It brings me a lot of peace of mind knowing he is in good care while I’m at work.”
“I am a return client who would recommend Ashleigh to anybody who owns a dog. She’s great at communicating and is perfect with my pups. I will be using her again in the future as always.”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
About: Hello my name is Justin L, I am 39 years, single, no kids and work full time. I lost my dog about 5 years ago and it was very hard to deal with. I am not ready to commit to another one yet, so I figured I might as well get my dog fix by helping others out on their vacation or their busy schedules. I always grew up with dogs and have had them all from small to large. Dogs are a mans best friend is the most true statement and I will always provide the best care for those dogs. Life would be so boring without dogs in it. I hope at some point in the future to get my own dog. I am available after I am off work. Depending where I’m working and where you are located I can possibly swing by during lunch time as well. I like to listen to what the owners say as far as what their preference for how they want their pet to behave. Any parameters with the house they typically write them up and I keep them updated throughout the day with photos of the pets.
About: I’m the person who sits on the floor at a party and befriends the pets. I’m 36 and very fortunate to have a flexible work from home career. Throughout my life I’ve cared for a variety of furry, feathered, and even scaly friends. I’d love to help care for yours. Bonus: I have a medical background so I won’t shy away from a messy, sticky, slobbery situation. 😉 I’m so lucky to work from home full time. My job is flexible, so my pet care availability is too. I can work with a variety of days/hours/care levels as needed. I treat every pet as if it were my own. Loving on them, meeting their daily needs, adjusting my approach based on the individual animal. Just like people, every pet is different and will thrive in a loving, trusting environment.

“I had to leave town last weekend and decided to see what boarding my dog Ding with somebody from Rover might be like. I hit the jackpot when I decided to reach out to Roman and Suzanne. Right from the get go they were extremely responsive and had the answers to all my questions. And so friendly! We did a quick meet and greet at their home and I instantly knew I’d be trusting my guy with them. Just really wonderful people and they clearly love the animals they take care of. And they sure took care of mine! I got lots of pictures and updates over the weekend, and Ding looked so happy in all of them. He really hit it off with their dog Sonic! The weekend flew by and after an easy pickup (they really made everything so easy!) Ding and I were back home. He totally crashed out after a fun weekend with his new friends. Cant recommend Roman and Suzanne and family enough! I’ll definitely be reaching out to for another upcoming weekend trip :) Thanks so much!”
“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!”
