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 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: 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.

About: **Compassionate Vet Tech Providing Trusted Care for Animals of Every Kind** If it has paws, hooves, feathers, scales, or fins, I'd love to care for it. Animals have always been my passion, and working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and experience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care for pets with a wide variety of needs. Whether your companion is young and energetic, a senior needing extra patience, or has special medical requirements, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I believe every animal deserves to be treated like family. My goal isn't just to meet their basic needs, it's to build trust, keep their routine as normal as possible, and give them plenty of affection, enrichment, and individualized attention. I'm experienced caring for many different types of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, small mammals, and other companion animals. I'm comfortable administering many medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, following detailed care instructions, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Whether your pet loves hiking, playing fetch, exploring the outdoors, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby who understands them, I'll tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. I know how much your animals mean to you because mine mean the world to me. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing animals! P.S. if you have animals other than dogs and cats that need care, (ex: horses, livestock, reptiles, exotics, etc.) please contact me and we can discuss prices/frequency/etc! :) Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I worked in veterinary clinics for about 10 years as well as grown up on a farm, so caring for animals is something I do both professionally and personally. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring, so I love bringing dogs along for adventures when it's appropriate for their personality and energy level. I build my schedule around providing reliable, attentive care, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of love, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment, so I take the time to learn their daily schedule, preferences, personality, and any special needs before you leave. I provide attentive, individualized care that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and affection. Having worked in veterinary clinics for about 10 years and grown up on a farm, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, energy levels, and many medical needs while also recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. I treat every home with the same respect I would want for my own, keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions you provide. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I'd give my own animals.

About: I have had my dog for 14 years and have been raised around dogs. I love interacting and taking care of all animals, especially dogs. I have classes at GVSU, and other than that my schedule is free for homework, working, and spending time on rover to help out the dogs and cats around me. Although I am not currently planning on using my house to care for pets, I do plan to in the future. I would ensure there is a safe and fun environment for the animals.

About: After getting my family pitbull/boxer 8 years ago, I’ve become extremely confident and comfortable with animals. I absolutely LOVE caring for animals! For a couple years I worked as a pet care technician, so I know all about pet care. Along with caring for my own dog, I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat and family friend’s dogs for years. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring companionship, health, and happiness for my furry friend through feeding, walks, playtime, and affectionate moments. I will care for my clients pets like they are my own babies. I’ll give them as much love and attention as they’re willing to receive :)

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has made caring for them second nature to me. I have two dogs of my own, all of whom I've helped trained. They each have unique needs, including daily medication and diet preferences, so I'm very familiar with managing a variety of routines and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'm especially patient with dogs who are still in training or adjusting to new environments. I've also volunteered at several local animal shelters, where I spent time walking and working with dogs who required extra care, structure, and patience, many of whom were strong pullers or had behavioral challenges. These experiences have taught me how to stay calm and confident in any situation, and I always prioritize a dog's safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra cuddles, or a specific care routine while you're away, I'll make sure they're cared for as if they were my own. I'm a college student, and I work as a Nurse Technician at a hospital two days a week. Despite my busy schedule, I'm highly flexible and have availability throughout the week and some weekends. Pet care is something I enjoy, so I'm happy to make the time to be there for your pets. When caring for your pet in your home, I will stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding them at specific times, taking them for walks, or ensuring they get plenty of playtime. I'll provide lots of attention and affection to keep them feeling secure while you’re away. If your pet needs any special care, like administering medication or following specific instructions, I’m more than happy to accommodate. I understand the needs of pets that require extra attention, as I have dogs of my own who need special care. I'll keep a close eye on your pet's behavior, and I’ll always reach out if anything unusual comes up. I’m also happy to send pictures to keep you updated and help you feel more at ease!

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!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Allendale on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,610 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:

  • 96% 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.
