About: I have had dogs for the past 14 years and cats for the last seven years. I dog sit consistently for multiple people year-round and am happy to watch any and all dogs and cats. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and pets with medication. I work 9-5 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and 9-1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I currently work 9-5 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 9-1 Tuesday and Thursday. Outside of work I have minimal commitments and am happy to move them around as needed to best fit your fur babys schedule. I am good with giving medication, getting stubborn pets to eat, and making sure your babies feel loved! I am good with crating and making sure they get the exercise they need!
“Kaylan did an amazing job with my 2 cats. She was very attentive and loving with them as well as help provide me reassurance while I was away that my boys were well taken care of; I would 💯recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I’m patient, attentive, and I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet! I work part time and have a hybrid school schedule, this gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I keep an active lifestyle which means lots of walks and playtime for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love taking care of them. I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I also grew up on a farm where I helped take care of all kinds of animals, which taught me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of any age, size, and personality. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, I do have a busy schedule, but I make sure to prioritize my time so that any pets in my care get the attention they deserve. I can work my classes and study around walks, playtime, feeding, or any special needs your pets might have. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making them a part of my daily routine fits in naturally. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers and two cats, so caring for pets is part of my daily life. I love taking my dogs on hikes or for drives to burn off energy, and I’m all about cuddling and giving attention to my cats. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do the same. Following their routines, making sure they get exercise, playtime, and lots of love so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Sara went above and beyond to help our shy kitty get some snuggles in. We highly recommend Sara. And would use her again.She took care of out plants, and was consistent in every way. I didn't need to worry about a thing. 5 star service.”
About: All of my life I have always had pets. From cats to dogs, guinea pigs to fish, I am very experienced in taking care and looking after animals, from small dogs to big I have had them all. I am very well with walking dogs and being someone they can trust as if I have met them before. I am a recent graduate and have a full time job. I make sure to fit pet care in my day to day life just as I would my own needs. I will not be able to take any pets to my own house, but I will make sure that they are fully taken care of and shown the attention that they need and would normally get from an owner.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have had experience with personal animals as well as house and dog sitting for others. I have working in healthcare for a few years. I also have over 12 years of experience with horses! I am currently working part time, available for afternoons, nights and weekends. Also flexible when you need a sitter the most. Also during holidays. :) I plan to take care of your beloved animals, keeping them to their normal routine as much as possible. I plan to keep their environment clean. I hope to take them on walks, and their favorite activities!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since a young age! I love animals of all sizes and breeds! My Mother used to breed puppies so I am very well with them as well! I am currently a college student at Grand Valley State University so I will be trying to pick up some pet care on the side when i’m not busy with classes or homework! I will make sure to keep your animals safe and entertained, however you instruct me to care for your animals and keep them safe in your home!
About: Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 Y/O and have been around dogs and cats my entire life, and have had many family and friends trust me to take care of their pets for vacations/trips! My favorite part of the day is coming home to my dog and cat waiting for me at the door! Giving them and receiving some much needed love after a long day is the best way to wind down! I can always make an AM and PM stop/stay nights if needed, however midday sometimes varies! Let me know your preference(s) ahead of time and it should be just fine! I love and can work with all dogs including big dogs, high energy and “sassy” cats, and am good with crating animals if needed.
“Brandi was extremely helpful last minute despite it being the busy holiday season. She is great with communication and giving extreme affection to your loved ones. I have no doubt you will be worried one bit with her in charge!”
About: I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs and all different kinds of breeds! I love all dogs and work with kindness and patience! In the summers I'm pretty free so it just comes down to my schedule with other sitting commitments! I'm pretty flexible so whatever the animals need I try to do! I go by the book! Whatever the pet-parents do and require for their animals is what I do! I am patient and kind and respectful!
About: Hello! My name is Sophia and I absolutely adore all kinds of animals! I have had pets since I was very young, and I have a lot of other experience watching neighborhood cats and dogs, as well as walking them! I love to play with pets, cuddle with them, and take pictures, too! The extra benefit to this is that I can send you adorable pictures of your furry family members while you’re away. I would make sure that they get all of the food, water, walks, and potty breaks they need—not to mention love! I am happy to stay over night, especially on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently available for anytime, as I work remotely. As long as I have the wifi password, I am all set to stay all day! I would only be interested in going to pet owners’ homes, as my house is already full of my own pets! I’m also happy to house sit.
“For my first time using Rover I wasn’t sure what to expect. Lauren did a great job with my “kids”. Both cats took their turn being shy with her but she had the patience to wait until they came out to see her on their terms. I liked that she gave me updates about the visit so I could give her real-time feedback on them. I will definitely use Lauren again!”
About: I’ve taken care of Pets and had pets since I was 10 years old. I’m very energetic and reliable and I love walking and playing with my own pets. I am currently working only part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of attention and exercise. I have one dog that is super friendly that can be in the crate or on our bottom level. We have one outdoor cat that pretty much stays in our barn. Our kids are very good with pets and I love them. We all have experience with overnight boarding of puppies and adult dogs.
About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)
“Lucas took fantastic care of our pups! His communication was great and he sent us awesome pictures of his time with our dogs. We would highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a great caretaker for their pets!”

We’re so grateful we found Maisy to care for Margo! She is reliable, kind, and so attentive to Margo’s needs. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about her, and Margo absolutely loves seeing her each day! Having a pet sitter is new for us, and Maisy has made the experience so easy and reassuring. We feel completely comfortable knowing Margo is in such good hands while we’re working or away. We highly recommend Maisy! She will care for your pet like her own!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Allendale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Allendale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Allendale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
