Grand Rapids is Michigan's second city and one of the most dynamic mid-size cities in the Midwest — a city of over 200,000 people on the Grand River that has transformed from a furniture manufacturing capital into a nationally recognized arts city, a thriving craft beer destination, and one of the fastest-growing economies in the Great Lakes region. From the nationally significant Victorian architecture of Heritage Hill, to the vibrant independent energy of Eastown and East Hills, through the beloved neighborhood characters of Creston and Alger Heights, Grand Rapids is a city of remarkable residential quality and genuine community depth.
Petme connects Grand Rapids cat owners with local, verified sitters who offer boarding, in-home sitting, and drop-in visits.
