“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“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.”
“Chris has consistently been reliable with communication and updates on our pup while in his care! We feel confident having him as a sitter, and will always consider him first when it comes to booking through Rover :-)”
“Patty graciously agreed to watch Whiskey on very short notice and I couldn’t have been happier with his stay. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I know he had a great time and he came home extremely tired from all the fun.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Montague, MI and love everything about it. I have four crazy dogs, four wonderful cats, two guinea pigs, and a 7 year old son. I have 10 years of animal experience, working at two Muskegon County animal shelters and as a vet assistant. I am licensed and insured through my personal business, Muskegon's Poopin Scoopin LLC. With my knowledge, experience, and above all passion; I guarantee the best service possible. I'm currently working part time during the week, so I have extra time to love on your furry friend! I do most of my pet sitting without my son but if you have a pet that loves children, my son would love to join. Your home is my home and I will take care of your home as so. In my home, your pet can have free access to outside with the doggy door. All cats are kept separate from the dogs. All dogs are fed separately. Detailed lists of your pets routine are helpful to ensure each pet is cared for to your expectations.
“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! 🐶✨”
“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!”
“We were pleased with our dog, Callie's stay with Alex and Nicolas. They walked her numerous times and sent us many photos so that we knew she was doing well. We had a great peace of mind while we had to be away. I would recommend highly!”
“Ms Vicki was wonderful with our older dog Poppy! This was the first time ever that our Poppy was separated from us and we were worried. However, Ms Vicki sent us a lot of updates and pictures to ease our minds. When we saw our Poppy’s smiling face, then we knew that she was well taken care of! Poppy is now home with treats and a happy attitude… no stress at all for her! THANK YOU MS VICKI!”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“I boarded my cat Libby for the very first time. I was very nervous about boarding/leaving her but I was gone too long to leave her alone. I found Lenore on Rover. After looking at several people which did not impress me, I found Lenore and immediately liked her profile. During the process of signing up, Lenore sent several messages asking about Libby. It made me feel like she really cared about animals. We left Libby with Lenore for 9 days. She texted with me and sent me pictures every day!! She showed so much love and care for her I was afraid Libby might want to stay! Lenore really does go above and beyond to take care of your fur babies! I could not be happier. Lenore made my holiday trip so enjoyable. I could relax knowing Libby was well cared for. I will definitely use her again and cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Reyna was so kind to take our dogs last minute. She watched them for two nights and sent cute pictures and updates daily. Both my pups were well taken care of while with Reyna. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Beth is amazing! Her home was perfect for our high energy dogs, and they really enjoyed playing with her dog as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust my fur babies with. Thank you, Beth!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kelli sent updates and pictures the whole time and really put me at ease. She has the perfect set up for dogs and Hashbrown was treated like one of the family. He’s already booked for another stay!”

“Kristen was great! My cat loved her and he doesn't like very many people so that says it all! Will definitely plan to have Kristen again. Thanks so much for your great care of my picky feline friend.”
“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”
“Paige does an amazing job with our little girl! She makes sure to give her lots of play time, love and attention! Me and my husband are so grateful to have found someone as good with our dog as she is! 100% would recommend!”
“Eden was fabulous! From the parents of a high needs diabetic senior kitty we could not more enthusiastically recommend Eden as a pet sitter and care giver. They went above and beyond our expectations with great reports, pictures, and making sure they understood Finn's needs and care. Thanks Eden, you were awesome!”
“Baylee is magic with our very special 19 year old kidney failure cat. She is not an easy cat to care for, as she needs a special med that isn’t easy to apply. In fact, no one other than a family member has ever been able to do it. But Baylee has become our cranky old girls friend and is able to apply the medicine. Additionally, the house was super clean when we returned. Maybe cleaner than when we left.”

About: Emma is a certified master dog groomer, self-taught artist, self-published author, and dog sport enthusiast living in West Michigan. She shares her home with her crew of pets - dogs, goats, reptiles, and a cat. She has trained her own dogs in many sports including agility, rally, obedience, nosework, herding, dock diving, flyball, lure coursing, drag racing, barn hunt, trick dog, freestyle, conformation, and more. She has gone on to compete in several of these sports, earning advanced titles in agility, rally, and conformation. She loves variety whether in her chosen dog sport or chosen dog breed - she has owned a pug, a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, an English setter, an Icelandic sheepdog, Shetland sheepdogs, and English cocker spaniels. Emma’s dog grooming business is one of very few offering house call grooming in West Michigan. Emma is certified through the National Dog Groomers Association of American, certified in pet safety, first aid, and CPR/CPCR, certified in Fear Free handling, and is actively working on certification as a pet aesthetician through Iv San Bernard USA. More than anything else, she loves spending time with her dogs, hiking, exploring, and finding and creating beautiful things. I work from home so am able to dedicate quite a bit of time to caring for your pet! Dogs coming in for grooming and dogs here for boarding/daycare are kept separate to prevent any issues. My personal dogs are integrated as needed with the ability to separate them for reactive or potentially aggressive or fearful visitors. Dogs are confined in crates or kennel runs for safety when I am not home or am unable to watch and monitor them. My yard is fully fenced with no gaps or holes. Flight risk dogs will be leash walked. Otherwise dogs will be out in my house integrated with my own pack as appropriate!
“Friendly and easy to work with, immediately connected with our dog. He was very comfortable with Jeanne and well cared for. We were confident our pet had plenty of exercise and attention and received an update and photo on the day’s activities. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life I got into training adult dogs & puppies as a childhood job & have loved all dogs every since!! I’m currently at home taking a school/work break & thought this would be something settled & laid back & productive to do while I’m back home! Currently I have two bully puppies at home both less than a year & going through training if your furry friend needs help some where I can help so far both of mines are kennel trained, potty trained, and can also sit, stay, down, and wait for their food!!
About: My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love! I am working part-time from home and no longer have a pet in the home, so my schedule allows me to take time for pet care during the week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.
“Daniel did a truly amazing job. We’re so thankful for his quick replies to our last minute request. He kept us updated and our boy had an amazing time from start to finish and slept hard that night.”

Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”
“Baylee was wonderful! She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of our very shy and particular German Shepherd. We just moved into a new house so we were worried about how he would do when we were gone but he did great with Baylee! We came home to a happy, healthy dog and we will definitely be using her again to watch Mav 😊”

What I Do in Your Home • Stick to your pet’s routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime are followed exactly as instructed. • Provide calm, attentive companionship — whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I match their energy and needs. • Keep your home tidy and respected — I clean up after pets, maintain litter boxes or outdoor potty areas, and leave your home just as I found it. • Monitor behavior and well‑being — I pay close attention to body language, appetite, energy levels, and any changes that might need your attention. • Send consistent updates — you’ll receive clear communication, photos, and honest notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Additional Care You Can Expect • Administering oral medications if needed • Supporting shy, anxious, or rescue pets with patience and gentle handling • Maintaining multi‑pet household dynamics safely • Extra enrichment like play sessions, brushing, or outdoor time (as allowed)

“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“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.”
“Chris has consistently been reliable with communication and updates on our pup while in his care! We feel confident having him as a sitter, and will always consider him first when it comes to booking through Rover :-)”
“Patty graciously agreed to watch Whiskey on very short notice and I couldn’t have been happier with his stay. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I know he had a great time and he came home extremely tired from all the fun.”
“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! 🐶✨”
“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!”
“We were pleased with our dog, Callie's stay with Alex and Nicolas. They walked her numerous times and sent us many photos so that we knew she was doing well. We had a great peace of mind while we had to be away. I would recommend highly!”
“Ms Vicki was wonderful with our older dog Poppy! This was the first time ever that our Poppy was separated from us and we were worried. However, Ms Vicki sent us a lot of updates and pictures to ease our minds. When we saw our Poppy’s smiling face, then we knew that she was well taken care of! Poppy is now home with treats and a happy attitude… no stress at all for her! THANK YOU MS VICKI!”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“Reyna was so kind to take our dogs last minute. She watched them for two nights and sent cute pictures and updates daily. Both my pups were well taken care of while with Reyna. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kelli sent updates and pictures the whole time and really put me at ease. She has the perfect set up for dogs and Hashbrown was treated like one of the family. He’s already booked for another stay!”
“Paige is the BEST! She took magnificent care of our bulldog, Darla who requires a lot of attention and lovies. Paige sent daily reports, funny anecdotes about Darla’s and sweet pics of our pudgy princess. She’s also very attentive and gives expertise in her care. I would highly recommend her and hope to book her again. Thank you so much, Paige!”
“Boomer had a great time. Nice big yard to play in and got lots of attention! I got daily updates and pictures of Boomer playing and having fun. We will definitely be visiting again!”
