“Hanna was really great. She was super accommodating for the very last minute booking. My dogs also loved her and that’s what I was most worried about. I was planning this trip for a few days and had my sister ready to watch my dogs but suddenly we had an extra dog in the house that my sister rehome three years ago. So I booked with Hanna and didn’t do a meet n greet at all. She sent lots of pictures for me and took my two 50 pound huskies on long walks all over my small town. The fact that my dogs even left my house with her says a lot about how much they loved her right away. I’m very grateful and would recommend and definitely book with her again.”


“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”


“We had no concerns with all 5 of our animals when Colene was watching them. We appreciate that she was flexible with our plans changing last minute and appreciate the photos she sent!”


“Abby was great! She stayed at our house while we were away for the weekend and was wonderful with our dog, responsive, and trustworthy. We would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!”



“Sara was great! She met twice with the pups to make sure they were comfortable with her and kept in contact while we were gone. We got pictures of our pups and they looked happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Sara to my friends”


“Ricky was great! We have a large dog that gets meds and two very curious cats but none of it phased him. He made sure all were comfortable and occupied before leaving. We would definitely have him again!”


“We’ve never felt comfortable leaving our reactive pup with anyone until we saw how well he did with Mimi during our intro visits. She watched both of our dogs over a long weekend and had great communication and kept us updated how things were going. We will definitely reach out to Mimi in the future when we need a sitter!”


About: I spent my college education learning about animals and their behaviors! My passion is to care for animals and make sure they are as happy as can be. I have trained my dog since she was a puppy and continue to train her everyday! I have had many different types of animals and dog breeds throughout my life including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and axolotls. I currently work part time at a zoo and would love to care for your pets in my free time. Assisting your animals after work and on my days off is the perfect job for me. I have taken training classes with dogs and know how to effectively get them to cooperate and I plan on giving them all the love they want

“Anna was a pleasure to have back in our home to watch my boys, timely and perfect communication as always. Our favorite pet sitter and we can’t wait to have you back soon!”


“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She watched our 9 year old Yorkie-Jack as our regular sitter was booked for a day. Michelle sent lots of pictures of Macy throughout her visit. We definitely will book Michelle to hang out with Macy in future visits.”

“Ki did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my dogs! She kept me updated with regular pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were happy, well cared for, and loved. On top of that, my house was spotless when I returned. Ki is responsible, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”


About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.

“Hawra was phenomenal with our puppy! We have a 2 month old energetic little one and hawraa was able to immediately connect with him. Not to mention she was early and extremely flexible! Definitely would book her again!”

About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.

“This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!”


“Kevin took wonderful care of Murphy. It was our first time leaving Murphy for more than 1 night in his 4 1/2 yrs of life. He said pics and kept me updated which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Thank you Kevin”


About: Taken care of all sizes of dogs, from chihuahua puppy to Rottweiler puppy! I’ve had dogs all my life even senior dogs all have been loved and cared for! I’m a 22 y/o girl I have a part-time job that i work every weekend so, pet sitting will only be a fill in for that extra time i don’t work. I also have a 10 month old girl who also loves animals who I would prefer to accompany me since my partner works throughout the week and can’t watch her. Personally with my dogs they’re out to potty every 30 mins-1hr, they are crate trained whenever we’re out for a long period of time. I spend a lot of time when i get home playing with them and giving them tons of affection. They get fed 2 a day, every morning (9am) and evening (5pm) so we definitely work on a schedule but I’ve had different schedules for all my dogs i adopted one of my dogs from the pound when she was 4 months old and she’s a staffordshire terrior and we got our rottie from a girl at the dog park that could no longer take care of her and she was 6 months when we got her they are now almost 3 and 2 years old now!
