“Highly recommend! We use Nicole for regular drop in visits and she is wonderful! Always prompt, very accommodating and flexible, professional, and of course great with my pup!”
About: I have walked several of my neighbors dogs and thought I would do this on the side. I am easy going and love walking dogs. Plus gives me exercise. We had a morkie for 8 years until he passed then we got Simba. We’ve had him for 3 years. I love dogs and will treat them like mine. I currently work full time 6-2:30. I am usually free after 2:30 but occasionally have easy days so I could walk your baby and hangout for a little bit. I do not have a fence but I am walking distance to the dog park. I have a mini golden doodle who is 3 years old and wide open. We love to go to the dog park in the summers.
“Alicia was an amazing pet sitter! She was on time every day and provided multiple pictures each day. I could tell she genuinely cared for my kitty. She even left me the most beautiful embroidery of my kitty. I will definitely be rebooking with Alicia in the future!”
“Alexis has a great energy and my babies took to her very easily. She’s pleasant, timely and has great communication which leaves me with peace of mind when they are in her care. Definitely will be re-booking 🙂”
“Chelsea is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Chelsea exceeded expectations. Top rate communication. I laughed every day at her very thoughtful check in summary. My cats might love her more than they do me.”
“Holli took amazing care of our three dogs and three cats. She even dealt with a messy issue with one of the dogs with no complaints!! We will definitely call upon her again!!”
“Eric helped me out at last minute when my other sitter was a no show. He was wonderful at communicating with me and sending pictures. Will definitely be using him next time. Thank again!”
About: Hi! I’m a fun, energetic, and compassionate animal lover who treats every dog like my own. I understand that when you trust someone with your pet, you’re trusting them with family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long, energetic walks or prefers a slower pace with lots of sniff breaks, I tailor every walk to keep them safe, happy, and engaged. What sets me apart is the balance of energy and responsibility. I bring positive energy to every visit, but I also prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I’m comfortable caring for puppies still learning leash manners and senior dogs who need patience and a gentler approach. You’ll always receive updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy tails, safe walks, and peace of mind for you. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶💕 Pet care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to dedicate focused time on weekends to dog walking and drop-in visits. I also offer boarding for one dog at a time, so each pup receives calm, personalized attention in a safe environment. Whether it’s weekend walks, overnight boarding, or pet sitting support, I’m committed to dependable, loving care. Your furbaby’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a devoted dog mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow your instructions and keep routines consistent, so your pup feels secure, relaxed, and loved. For walks and drop-ins, I use secure leashing, stay fully attentive, and remain aware of our surroundings at all times. I avoid busy or unsafe areas and adjust each walk based on your dog’s age, personality, energy level, and even the weather. Some dogs love a power walk, others love sniff breaks. I’m happy to match their vibe! For boarding, I intentionally host only one dog at a time so your furbaby receives calm, personalized attention in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home. I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and updates (with photos!) so you always feel connected and confident. With 17 years of experience as a loving dog mom, I understand that communication, patience, and kindness matter just as much as exercise and routine. I treat every dog like family because to me, they are.
About: I treat every pet like family and make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll give your pets plenty of love, attention, and patience while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently not working. I have a very open schedule. I love dogs and cats and what better thing to do than hangout with animals. I have a dog of my own too so I have lots of experience. I care for pets in the comfort and safety of their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. During drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medication when needed. I keep a close eye on their well-being, give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure their home is left clean and secure. I also follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have hands-on experience with dog sitting and basic pet training, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy puppies who need structure and consistency or older dogs who thrive on routine and gentle care, I adjust my approach to meet each pet’s individual needs. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. I already have a dog of my own, and I’m very structured and committed to maintaining his routine and schedule. Because of that, caring for other pets blends seamlessly into my lifestyle. My day is built around walks, feeding times, play sessions, and rest periods, so adding another pet simply means extending the same level of care, structure, and attentiveness. Working remotely also gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, engagement, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods.
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been one of my favorite parts of life. I also care for rabbits and guinea pigs, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe every day. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for pet care 24/7. I have a consistent daily routine and will always communicate my availability clearly with pet parents. I do have my own pets that I care for, including two guinea pigs, a rabbit and a dog, so I will need to return home briefly each day to maintain their feeding and care routine. I am happy to discuss schedules with each pet parent to make sure their pet’s needs are fully met. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment clean and safe, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they have fresh water, plenty of love, and the care they need while you’re away. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your pet and your space with the same respect, patience, and care that I give my own.
About: I have had experience with dogs since I was very young, and I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies. They are complete opposites from each other in size and temperament and have very different needs, so I feel confident caring for different dogs that may have different needs. Whether you need someone to swing by and give your pup a nice walk, or someone reliable to drop in and let them out, feed them, or just play with your dog while you’re out, I’d love to be that person for you and your dog! I currently work another job 4 days a week, and have the other 3 off. I’m available Sunday, Tuesday & Wednesday 11am- 4:30pm. I have a 6 year old daughter that I pick up from school at 6:30pm so I just want to make sure I have enough time to get back to pick her up also ☺️ I currently have our two dogs crate trained, so I feel comfortable crating your dog/s if needed. I can feed, play, give medicine (if needed) and walk your dog at your home. I would prefer to do a meet and greet with all owners and dogs before hand, so a new person coming into there home isn’t a surprise to the dog and also just to make sure it’s a good match for everyone involved ☺️
About: I have lots years of pet experience. I also do dog walking-boarding with Wag! Where we become certified and are background checked. I have two dogs on my own, a Chiweenie (Duke) and Maltese mix (Chess). I live with my parents and we are a pet friendly home! I always had a passion for animals and I will guarantee you and your pup won’t regret any minute! I love going to the dog park on my free time, taking walks and of course my favorite is play time (which is all day long). I do work part time over night but my parents are disabled so someone is ALWAYS home. I hope that you choose me to fulfill your wants for your pet and I hope to see you in the near future :) Thank you, Alexis PS: I do understand accidents happen when your pup enters a new home but if your dog constantly urinates or poops on carpet/floor along with them being let outside to do their business I will add a cleaning fee of $20. I work over night so I’ll be home all day to ensure your pup gets all the attention they need with lots of play time and walks. I treat each pet as if they are my own. All allowed on furniture and free to roam all throughout the house but I do have a gate keeping all the dogs away from the front door so you have no worry about your pup sneaking out. They also have free access to the backyard.
“Maria was very prompt and professional. She cared for my cats like they were her own. I highly recommend her if you need someone to look after your furry friends.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - from my childhood Akita to my Pom-Poo mix to my current German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix. I trained my current dog (Goose) through an intensive hands-on 6-week obedience course. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I don’t just watch dogs, I treat them like family. I work full-time but my work schedule is pretty flexible. I have a lot of off days during the week (Tuesday through Thursday) to walk pups and make visits! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d expect for my own. I will follow your pet’s routine closely - whether that means morning walks, mealtime rituals, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. I keep your pet comfortable, happy, & safe in their familiar environment. I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and your absence as stress-free as possible - for both of you!
About: I have a fenced in backyard for quick bathroom breaks. I have a bin full of dog toys and puzzles to keep your fur baby mentally and physically entertained. My senior dog is healthy and active which is a testament to the level of care I provide. I work from home part time so I'll keep your baby company 24/7. I'm available over the weekend and I'll be happy to board your dog the same day. I have a fenced in backyard. My small senior dog is 15 years old. I have experience with administering medication to her day and night. Finished basement is all hardwood so any accidents can be easily cleaned.
“Baoer and her daughter visited our home for a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking. While we were away, they took great care of Kea (our cat). Baoer followed all our feeding and cleaning instructions, and they played with him a lot too. We were relieved to know he’s being cared for and adored.”

Kristin has looked after our 2 pups several times and always does an amazing job!! She goes above and beyond! One of our dogs lost his ball and was very sad, so Kristin went out of her way to get him a new ball so they could play fetch. She also left a cute card and doggie treats. These sweet gestures really show how much she cares! She is great with communication and sends so many pictures and updates. We never have to worry when we are out of town because we know our puppies are in the best hands! Thanks for everything Kristin!
Desire accepted my last minute booking since my boyfriend wasn't able to because of work. Shes great with Holly and always keeps me informed of whats going on with holly and if she did something. I always appreciate transparency when it comes to sitters. Sorry again for holly leaving a wet spot on the couch and you sitting on it. She wasn't upset about it but very understanding 🥺 thank you desire! Sorry again for holly and her anxiety 😂😅
Daniela and her mom were absolutely AMAZING!!! They treated our baby Scuttle with so much love and care. They followed all instructions, had incredible communication, and shared lots of pictures in each report. We have never used Rover this regularly for scuttle before, and we were so impressed by their kindness and willingness to do whatever was needed to make us and our baby comfortable. We can’t wait to hire Daniela again!!
Sydney and Yoonho are the best! They take such great care of our babies and are always super responsive, which really puts us at ease whenever we have to leave them. Our cat Mabel is usually shy and nervous around strangers, but she actually comes out to see them. ❤️
We are so happy we have Emily to care for our animal kids. She is consistently on time and always updates us through messaging. We have used family and friends and they don’t spend the time time walking, feeding, giving meds and playing with our animals every time they stop by. Spending money to have Emily is worth every cent!!!! She is also just a good soul and it feels nice to pay someone who takes their job seriously.
Chelsea has been our go to doggie sitter for the past year or two. Hope absolutely loves her and I love her thorough messages. Recently I had to book a different sitter because Chelsea was traveling at the same time as me and let's just say the other sitter wasn't as thorough with her updates.
Johanna was an amazing sitter for our sweet cat. He was taken care of so well and it was so nice being able to not worry while being out of town. She sent pictures every day and updated us with everything we needed to know. She was punctual and always came at the same time everyday and was always available to chat if I had a question. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again this next weekend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allendale is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,224 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allendale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
