“I’m so glad I found Julia! She was amazing, even though we asked her at the last minute. She made our furry friends feel right at home and took great care of them. We always knew what was going on and how they were doing, which was really reassuring. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Julia!”
About: Hello! I grew up around many dogs and cats and enjoy their company so much! I have my own cat so I understand how important our pets are to our lives! I am always the first one to volunteer whenever a friend or family member needs someone to look after their fur babies! I will always treat those in my care as my own 💗 Doggy Boarding: I am now opening my home up for dogs to come stay with me while you enjoy your time away! I have always wanted to have dogs stay with me, but I wanted to wait until I had a fence in yard. And now I do! I have a lil Blue home with a lil fenced in yard and a lovely safe neighborhood for your pet to stay! We have plenty of parks nearby for them to enjoy as well. PLEASE NOTE: I have a cat named Pepper!!!! She does not mind dogs as long as they know how to give her some space. The most she will do is swat and a lil hiss is she’s really annoyed. Otherwise, your pet will have a nice relaxing time with me and Pepper! If your pet stays with me, it will be the only animal there during their stay besides Pepper (2 dogs max at the house). Feel free to ask any questions! I currently work 8-5/6pm at an office in Kentwood. I can usually take a lunch and stop by to check on the pets. If you are comfortable with this, then I’ll be happy to help out! You can trust that I will be always be respectful and mindful while I am in your home! I will treat your home and your pet as one of my own. Please refer to my references if you have any doubts 😊 Please do let me know if there is something that could have been done better - I always appreciate any feedback after my visit!!!
About: I’ve taken care and lived with dogs or cats my entire life. I have been unable to get one now that I am an adult, and need some more pet time! I’m incredibly patient, loving and excited to show these pets a new friend! I don’t have a yard but my apartment has a dog park i’d take them to if the owner was comfortable! I work full time Monday through Thursday 10-7 then friday 10-3. So I am available for nights and then fully available on the weekends. There is the community dog park easy walking distance from where I live, and multiple trails to provide them with a fun walk! I live in a spacious two bedroom apt alone so they would have plenty of space inside too!
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”
“Sarah took my German Shepherd puppy on such short notice and I truly appreciate that! She kept me updated daily and sent pics, which was also very much appreciated! My German Sheperd puppy is FULL of energy and she kept him busy and took on many walks, which I know he enjoyed! Thank you again Sarah!!”
“Paige and Matthew are awesome. Super responsive with booking and with updates. Percy made new friends and had fun playing all week. Poor guy is exhausted and happy!”

I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort by following routines, maintaining a clean environment, and giving lots of attention.

“I appreciate Angie and her family so much. Bentley is usually a ball of anxiety when he's boarded. They were great with him! I am aurebhe felt like he was home. He was well cared for and I was kept updated over the week.”
About: I love to be outside and play just as much as your dog does! I always make sure the pup is having the best time :) I am currently working part-time, which allows for more than enough time to be spent with your doggo! At times when I am at work, my significant other works from home and would be available for your dogs’ needs! I have a Golden Retriever of my own, he is 5 years old and his name is Reggie. I also have a kitten, Hank, he is approximately 9 months old. Both of them are so sweet, energetic and playful. They have the luxury of a fenced-in backyard and would love to make friends and play with your puppy (yes the kitty goes outside too)! We go on many walks, play fetch, spend a lot of time in the backyard and go on many adventures!
“Hawraa was great with our dog and it’s quite obvious she likes what she does and loves the animals. She frequently sent us updates, photos, and videos and we definitely felt that our dog was in great hands. Thanks Hawraa!”
“My pups loved their weeklong stay with Janelle (and Kevin!)! Janelle went above and beyond with my somewhat “special needs” and raw fed dogs (a puppy and a CHF dog with a strict medication administration routine). Despite a week of nasty humid and stormy weather, Janelle managed to get them outside to play when it cleared up, but they were also content snuggling or napping. I was sent daily reports and pictures. My dogs usually take a bit to warm up to strangers, but this was not the case with Janelle- they were immediately comfortable and returned home happy and well fed. This is the second time with her and I won’t trust anyone else to care for them moving forward!”

I’m attentive to feeding routines, fresh water, and keeping litter boxes clean so cats stay comfortable while you’re away.

My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care you can trust Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my schedule at Grand Valley State University. I’m completely available Friday through Sunday, available after 12 PM Monday through Wednesday, and after 4 PM on Thursdays. I’m happy to plan visits around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive consistent attention and care while you’re away When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are safe before leaving, keep their space clean, and communicate with updates so you feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and reliable experience for both you and your pet.
“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”

“Daniel was a great host for our pups! Great communication, lots of photos, clearly loves animals, his home was exactly as presented on Rover. Would ABSOLUTELY have Daniel watch the dogs anytime. Highly recommend.”
“Will definitely be booking with Danielle again. Her and her family did a great job with my little guy. He came home happy and healthy and the communication between us while gone was great. Loved all the pics she sent us as well.”

Alexis took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were gone for a week on vacation. We were a little nervous leaving them with someone new, knowing we were traveling out of the country. She communicated promptly to my inquiries and sent us numerous photos and text updates throughout the week. We were thrilled to hear that our dogs got along great with her dog and had a fun week playing together. Thank you Alexis! We will be sure to reach out for any future vacation needs!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
