House Sitting in West Olive

“Michael was great with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. They are both fairly high energy and one can be a little standoffish, but it wasn’t an issue at all. He took the time during our meet and greet for the dogs to get comfortable with him and we couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“Katherine was great! She took such great care of our pups while we were gone! We lost power and she handed it so professionally and kept us updated!”

Katie E.

“Hannah has taken care of our dogs multiple times now. She is always responsible and super caring! She takes the best photos of my dogs too! I highly recommend her work!”

“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and was even flexible when our times changed.”

Rachel K.

“Bel showed up before I left. My dogs were so excited to see her! She kept me updated over the weekend with text messages and pictures of them letting me know it was going well. Thanks Bel! I knew they were in good hands with you!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve been around all types of breeds, from great dane, to Shih Tzu! Pup or Grand-pup, i’m the girl for you! I currently work part-time with flexible hours! Normally any day from 9-2 is perfect! Wednesdays I have an event from 6pm-8pm but other than that i’m free! I do prefer to stay in home. This makes animals more comfortable with a new person! I am also a house cleaner on the side so I will be sure to leave your home spotless and clean like no one was ever there!

“We are very glad we were able to find Madison so last minute. We were worried about introducing our reactive dog to someone new, but our dogs instantly connected with her!”

Alice K.

“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”

Kirsten P.

“Amanda provided good communication, asked good questions, and really paid attention to the details regarding our pet’s specific care. Amanda did a good job helping our pet stick to her regular daily routine while we were away. We are grateful!”

Elizabeth P.

“Daniel was very kind to our cat and sent many updates and pictures throughout his stay. He genuinely seems to care about animals. We will be using him again!”

About: I provide an in-home pet care experience for families with dogs, cats, and other pets. I started offering services professionally in 2016, through word-of-mouth, while located in Grand Rapids. On a personal level, our family included both dogs and cats while raising our children, and I grew up in a family with dogs and cats as well. I joined Rover to help me connect with pet families upon moving to a new location. My schedule will revolve around your fur babies while I'm caring for them. I am a former dog and cat owner, and I want your pets to feel comfortable and have fun while you are away. I currently work from home (or anywhere) part-time so have the flexibility to prioritize your pets' care. I provide attentive care in your home, allowing your pets to stay in familiar surroundings. I love walking dogs around the neighborhood or to nearby parks for daily exercise. At home I'll provide snuggles and love between feedings. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I might watch for.

About: Growing up my family always owned one or two golden retrievers at a time and instantly fell in love with the breed. I worked at a dog boarding/day care facility for about 3 years. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds along with all sorts of temperaments. With that came taking care of dogs of ALL ages. I’ve handled up to 15 large dogs at a time, also handling cats. Absolutely loved my job and hope to continue working with animals:) I work at a School in Grand Haven, Monday-Friday till around 4p.m. (Sometimes later) So, my evenings are open to walks & drop-ins. My weekends are still available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks! I was lucky enough to grow up with a mom that did full time pet sitting at one point and got to tag along on all her trips. I also pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights, walks, and administering medications, eye drops, pills, ect. So, I know how important it is to be mindful of someone’s else’s home and their four-legged (sometimes three) loved ones.

“Dawn was fantastic, kept us up to date and sent pictures throughout her stay with our 3 pups. She was responsive to all of our pups needs. She also saved our trip when our other dog sitter had to cancel at last minute due to family emergency. After meeting her, we had no hesitation leaving our fur babies in her very capable care. Would have Dawn take care of them again in a minute”

About: I'm a 39 year old direct care worker. I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I currently have a dog and cat. My experience in pet care is from taking care of my own and volunteering for friends and family. I was a kennel technician for a year at the Humane Society and have volunteered there over the years. I am working minimum part time right now. I am available during days and evenings, as I work 3rd shift, and will be available some nights and overnights also. I will follow the established routine you provide, providing plenty of companionship and care your pet needs, ensuring your their safety, all while giving you regular updates.

About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.

“Yosenia was an amazing first dogsitter for us. Communication was amazing and we had no issues all weekend! I can't recommend her enough! Thank you again!”

About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!

About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.

“Our first time ever using Rover or a pup sitter. Great communication, punctual, sweet, Whiskie was happy to have her in our home. We will be using Sydney again soon.”

“Debra was a terrific sitter/companion for our 4 yr old Springer Spaniel rescue. She took great care of him and of our house for 5 nights. We received wonderful photos of their good time together. Came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. Can’t say enough good things! We feel so lucky to have found her! Just hope she’s available when next we are in need!!!”
