“Jazzy had a good time again staying with her favorite sitter, Joni. She really enjoys swimming which is something she never would have had the opportunity to do if it wasn't for Joni. I didn't even know Jazzy could swim, but had a chance to see her today when we stopped to pick her up on our way home from are trip. Jazzy played so much she slept all the way home and for 2 hours after we arrived home. Thanks so much Joni for being so good to our Jazzy. We love you.”

“Ellen was so great! She accommodated watching our two quirky dogs for two nights with no other dogs because we’re always unsure how they’ll do with other dogs. She was very comfortable with them from the start at our meet and greet and sent lots of personalized updates and pictures while we were gone. It seemed like she truly enjoys dogs being in her home and our pups seemed happy to see us when cam took pick them up, but not anxious, so we know she took good care of them. We will definitely book with Ellen again. Thank you Ellen!”
“Holly was wonderful with our dogs. We had never boarded our dogs before and she helped us to feel comfortable doing so. Communication and care for our fur babies was wonderful. Thank you so much Holly!”
“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”

“Victoria and Rishi are awesome! I would highly recommend their boarding services. They are very professional and caring. Their drop off/pick up times are flexible which is super helpful. They kept us in the loop while we were away by sending us updates and pictures, and they sent our puppy home with a super cute boarding report card. It was our first time using Rover for our puppy, Lakota, and we were really able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that he was being taken care of so well. Lakota had such a fun time during his stay - we will definitely book with Victoria and Rishi in the future!”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life—starting with barn cats and now home cats, including plenty of playful kittens. They’re curious, lovable creatures, and I treat each one with the care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving them affection, I make sure your cats feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little with my own dogs as well as dog sitting family members and others pets as well. I have pet sat for Great Danes as well as small dogs. I’m currently in undergrad at Michigan State and hope to go to school to be in the Veterinary field. I’m currently in Undergrad at Michigan State but I come home on weekends to Grand Rapids when I can. I’m open during the evening as well as weekend in general. I spend time with pets and make sure they get the care they need. I also make sure to play with them and engage them to build trust.
“Outstanding experience with Sheri. She took care of both our dogs — a high-energy 1-year-old yellow lab and our 14-year-old chocolate lab who needs a bit more attention — and handled both without any issues. Sheri went above and beyond in ways we didn't ask for and didn't expect. She wiped the dogs down every time they came inside, which matters a lot with a younger lab who gets into everything. She also picked up after them in the yard — never asked, just did it. That kind of stuff you notice. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean space. No complaints at all. I would absolutely book Sheri again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”

I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.

About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.
