“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Maisy took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone for 2 weeks and has previously walked our 105 pound dog. She is so good with both. I appreciate her communication and pictures.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. I’ve provided both overnight and daytime care for dogs through pet sitting for family and friends and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs, and can follow medication or special care routines if needed. I provide walking, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently home from school, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I understand how important consistency is for pets and always do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind.
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 grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.
“From the moment I met Sarah, I could tell our animals would be in excellent hands! Sarah is smart, kind, intuitive, and has great common sense. She took care of our two cats and even our chickens while we were gone for a week and I appreciated her thorough and timely check ins, great pictures, and the excellent care she provided. I cannot recommend her enough! I will definitely rebook her anytime I need a pet sitter!!”
“Lauren always takes great care of my elderly cat. She communicates very well about what’s going on with my cat during visits and about any time she might need to adjust our schedule.”
“Excellent service from Megan. Super quick responses and flexibility in the kind of service— blended walk-visit. She is very responsive to our dog’s needs and communicates clearly about what she’s done and when.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since birth. I started taking more responsibility for them around the age of 10. The moment I graduated college, I got my own rescue doggo. Maisie is now 10 and likes to sleep and cuddle, so I’m looking to add some energetic pups to my walking route. I’m a nurse and have random time off during the week. My schedule is far from consistent but I hope that helps me stand out as someone to just drop in periodically. I’m a pet parent myself so I know how anxious people can get when you’re away from your babies. And I know how anxious your pets can get too! I’ll follow any sort of instruction you leave!
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!

Kristina was a wonderful pet sitter! She was caring and loving with our old girl, and followed feeding directions for our ‘special needs’ cat. She sent photos so we could see our kitty, even when we were far away. We will most certainly ask Kristina to visit again! Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,621 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
