“Chelsy is the absolute best. She is always willing to go above and beyond for her clients. Her professionalism and dedication to ensuring the absolute best possible care for our dog is what makes her so special. I am always grateful for her service and her willingness to do what is necessary for our dog to be comfortable, safe, and happy with her. I will continue to support and you all should do the same!”
“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have enjoyed pet-sitting for family and friends over the years. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I know your pets are family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Whether it’s a dog walk, potty break, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll give your furry friends the attention they deserve and follow their usual routines. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them the same love and care I’d want for my own! 🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM, so I’m generally available for afternoon and evening walks and drop-in visits during the week. I also have availability on weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for and will work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s routine. I prioritize being dependable, communicating clearly, and making sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow your feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care requests. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pets, and treat your home with respect. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and loving care!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I wasn’t able to have pets growing up because of my families allergies, but that didn’t stop me from treating my neighbors and friends pets like my own! I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs from dachshunds to mastiffs! I also love cats and volunteer at CAA regularly. I know how important it is to make your pets feel safe and loved! I’m currently a full-time student at LSU! My schedule is very flexible outside of classes and I have plenty of time for walks, playing, cuddles, or just company. I’m more than happy to work with you to create a routine for your pet. Your pets safety and happiness is my responsibility and top priority. I will always follow your instructions, respect your pets space, and make sure all their needs are met. I’m happy to send pictures, videos, and updates often so you can check in!
About: It is pure joy for me to care for animals. I have been house sitting and caring for a family for over 9 years. Their two dogs are no less than family to me and my pets. I have a deep love, compassion, and commitment for the well being of all animals, that I believe is a gift God gave me. I have always opened my home to animals, and I love having them around me. I have never been apprehensive or fearful around any animal breed or their behavior. Trust me, I’ve been in some very dangerous places while rescuing animals. I’ve done and seen it all, but I think it’s a gift I was born with, that gives me that fearless and caring nature. I know animals can sense your intentions, so there is no faking it. I have been so blessed to have Wiley, a Chihuahua I rescued in California, and a Rabbit Flopsy who thinks he is also a dog. Sadly, my precious rescue cat Gracie, passed away last month, and we are heartbroken. The 3 of them were so close. I can only promise you, that I would love and care for your animals, as if they were my own, and I look forward to the opportunity. If I’m not already scheduled, I will always accept. I’m open to 7 days a week. I’m very spontaneous and I am very flexible. So last minute requests are not a problem. I have two fenced in patios. No yard, but lots of grass in the neighborhood for walking. When inside they have all the privileges my pets would have. I do prefer to have my dog Wiley with me, if I am house sitting. See his profile, he is wonderful with everyone and everything.
About: I always have had dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and farm animals growing up. I’ve never had a time in my life where i didn’t have one or more pet. They are family! ❤️ I am also a server at a restaurant! My shifts are short making it very easy to care for dogs and their needs. I am able to let them outside every 4-6 hours on days I do work. I treat any & every animal with compassion, empathy, and like they are my own baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your pets needs (high energy, low energy, etc), I’m very understanding. I can also medicate if your pet needs medicine.
“Lillian was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my two cats and dog while I was away. I could tell right away that my pets felt comfortable with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. Coming home to relaxed, well-cared-for pets says it all! I’m so grateful to have found her and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter.”
About: I have a sweet pup of my own and have grown up with dogs all of my life. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or any additional information you may want about me. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I do also have a dog of my own. Reach out if you have any questions. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own who loves to play with others. Kennels are encouraged too for a safe space for your dog(s).
About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life. After years of looking after the animals of friends and family, I am excited to expand my services and provide that same trusted, dedicated care to your furry family members! I am a small business owner at a salon and also work part-time as a gym receptionist. Since my shifts are only 2 to 3 hours long, I have a lot of flexibility! As a proud owner of three cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Whether your pet loves energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I tailor my routine to their specific needs. I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, clean environments, and providing plenty of affection so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!
“Myra is wonderful! She was punctual for drop ins and made sure my fur babies were cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Myra- her service is unmatched….we will definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
About: I have three huskies at home. Taking care of them requires a lot of attention, energy, and patience. (Heavy on the patience LOL) My boyfriend also has a boxer, so I have plenty of experience walking, feeding, and playing with large energetic dogs. I am always looking to walk, house sit, or just have a playdate with your fur baby! I am always willing to anything to provide a great life for our babies. Whether that is a walk, playing, or giving them their favorite treats! I keep safety and care for our babies by simply following the rules! If specific rules or instructions are placed ( ex: certain ways to feed your dog or cat) the. I follow them to a tee. Before letting dogs out I always look to see if there are any wild animals before letting them out. (One of my huskies brought me an opossum. Was not fun🙈) Small actions like these provide safety and protection for our fur babies.
“David was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure Nya wasn’t only comfortable but also that she enjoyed his visit. Nya is a very energetic and happy puppy and with David’s patience and extensive knowledge around canines, I was completely ok with knowing that she was in great hands! I will definitely be booking David in the future.”
“Tara kept my shy, nervous kitty company while my husband and I were out of town. Tara was very caring and my cat absolutely loved her! My husband joked that she would want to go home with her! Tara had excellent communication while we were gone and sent us several photo daily! We would love to work with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve owned just about every kind of pet you can imagine, from ducks to dogs to guinea pigs to turtles. I love animals and love taking care of them! I’m currently working from home but have flexible hours and open weekends. I’ve had a lot of pet sitting jobs in the past and I’ve always been able to fit it in well. I have a fenced yard and my roommate has a dog that gets along well with other dogs as well as cats. I am safety-conscious and experienced with all types of pets!
“Emery is the best! She has been a huge help to me while my dog needed a little more TLC recovering from a procedure. It has given me great peace of mind to know she would be checking on him while I had to be away. He’s happy, and I’m happy! Thank you, Emery!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 526 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
