“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”
About: I’ve had many pets since I was young, rabbits, dogs, small rodents and hermit crabs. All have been taken care of in a loving home! I have worked on a lot of training with my chiweenie Paige, who is now almost 10. I have pet sit for friends and family many times and love to meet new animals. I am currently a student at Ramapo College so once a schedule is worked out with clients I can be dependable with timing and consistent Though I may not always be able to board dogs depending on the time of year I can learn your routine with your pets and adapt as needed in your household
“Eric was very communicative and made sure to share photos and play with my cats while I was gone. Gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was stopping by at the times I requested to give them attention, especially since it was a bit out of his way.”
About: When you leave your dog with me, you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. In addition to my own friendly toy poodle, I limit the number of guest dogs in my home to one at a time so each one receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Exception may be made for two dogs from the same family. As a therapy dog handler, I’ve developed a patient, gentle approach and understand the importance of reading a dog’s body language. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel right at home while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved. I look forward to welcoming your dog into my home and treating them like one of the family. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home for the majority of the day. While I occasionally step out for personal errands or appointments, it’s typically only for short periods (generally no more than a few hours). My schedule allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout your dog’s stay. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced yard, an enclosed deck, and a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. Since I specialize in small dogs, they’re never left unattended outdoors and are always closely supervised.
“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”
About: All my family and friends have dogs or cats and they are considered family just like everyone else. I’m very patient, kind, and compassionate. My dream job is a veterinarian Right now I’m in school but I graduate on June 25th and then in the month of July I work 9-12 at my summer camp so anytime after that I am free My two cats and one dog are super friendly to any new visitors. I try to spend as much quality time with the animals because they deserve it
About: Hi! My name is Amy, and I’m a rising sophomore at Boston College. I’ve lived with dogs since I was 8 years old, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their personalities, keep them safe, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Being away at college means I don’t get to spend as much time with dogs as I’d like, which is why I’m excited to help care for yours! I look forward to giving your pup a fun, safe time and making sure you have peace of mind while they’re in my care. I am currently home for the summer, and am available and flexible. I do have some work and family events that I have blocked off on my calendar, but other than that, I am open to bookings! I have a very large, fenced in yard with a pool. In the summer, the pool is not covered, and my oldest dog loves to go swimming or take a quick step in to cool off. We have a variety of toys and dog beds in our house, and we also have two sets of dog gates.
“Danielle did a terrific job with our dogs, Rico and Barkley. We are new to the area, so the dogs are still getting use to their surroundings. Danielle knew exactly how to handle them. She provided us with pictures and updates with how they were doing. So THANKFUL for Danielle. Already booking another date with her.”
“Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much. We booked her for 8 days of drop in visits, and every day that she was with our Charli she takes lots of pictures and write notes of what she did to Charli ( like a summary of her visit) , which me and my hubby really loved. We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica”
“Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!”
“Thanks for being sure our girl, Nessie, got out this week. We appreciate having a reliable person to care for her. I hope your dog is doing better and home from the vet. She will see you next week!”
“This was my first time trying Rover & I’m extremely pleased?. Cynthia took the time to come & meet Blue and he loved her from the start. That made me very at ease because I was leaving the country for 9 days & he's never been left alone or with other ppl. She followed all instructions given & sent a video of him after each visit. He was his normal self & displayed no signs of anxiety ??. I will definitely be using Cynthia again for ALL upcoming vacations. ❤️”
“I’m SO happy with the loving care my cats received from Julianna! Our shy cat actually came out of hiding after just 1 visit, which is incredible. She took great care of our babies, showering them with attention. Will definitely be calling on her again!”

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.

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.
