About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
“Janelle was truly fantastic with our 2 dogs! I would highly recommend her. She did drop ins for us multiple times a day while we were out of town, and was punctual, engaging, and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. We feel so grateful to have found a reliable & dog-loving sitter!”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. From tiny shih tzus, heelers, golden retrievers, I’ve loved spending time with all the dogs I’ve had, and the ones I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of. My typical work hours range from 8-3:30 Monday-Saturdays! I have time to take care of pets in the afternoon and evenings, as well as all day on Sundays. I try my best to make sure pets are comfortable, which is why I enjoy pet sitting at a client’s home. Having a plan and schedule helps myself and the pets out.
“Sarah was a delight to work with! She was excellent with communication, professional, friendly, and reliable. Overall she just put my mind at ease knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was out of town. We had Sarah do several drop in visits for our high energy/very spoiled cat over Christmas and he had all of needs met. This was the first time he wasn't crabby when we returned from a trip, so I definitely hope to utilize Sarah's services again. She treated my cat like one of her own!”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I am not new to caring for others. I am a lifelong dog owner and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment. I am also a parent and work in childcare, which has given me extensive experience with responsibility, patience, and following specific instructions. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, recognizing needs, and providing attentive care. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a loved one. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own family, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, especially long-term and weekend care. I’m available Thursday nights through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care without rushing or overbooking. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and recognizing pets’ needs. I’m used to planning my days around caregiving and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time. Since it’s not fenced, dogs are always closely monitored and leashed as needed. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company, and two children who love animals and are taught to be gentle and respectful. Pets are never left unattended. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.

I do work full-time, but I have evening and weekend availability. I have a huge fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run and play fetch. I have a medium-sized dog who loves to go for walks and run in the yard. He’s very chill.
“Highly recommend Krysten for any pet needs. Her and her partner took amazing care of our 2 cats and bunny. Her first visit she noticed my bunny actually needed to see any emergency vet. She brought him in and stayed with him on the holiday. She truly cares about your pets wellbeing. Highly recommend her and her I’ll definitely use her again.”

I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from my own cats to family dogs, goats, sheep, and chickens. I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds, including American Bulldogs, cattle dogs, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are playful, energetic, shy, or more laid-back. I currently work from home and have flexibility for weekday afternoon check-ins, walks, feeding visits, and playtime. My typical availability is Monday through Friday from 3–6 p.m., with weekend availability as needed. As I begin graduate school, I will be working part-time and will keep my calendar updated with any schedule changes. I prioritize each pet feeling safe and comfortable with me before expecting interaction. With cats, I stay low to the ground, move calmly, and let them approach at their own pace. With dogs, I follow the owner’s routine closely and adjust to their personality, whether they need a calm companion, structured care, or more active play and walks.

“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
“Kina was awesome, she responds quickly, she sends you pictures of my doggies and gave me updates on if they went potty or eat/drank water! She’s super friendly and just loves all animals! Thank you so much for watching our dogs on our wedding day! Definitely would pick Kina to watch anyone’s animals!”
About: I've had a lifelong passion for animals and have been fortunate to grow up with dogs, which inspired me to continue adopting and caring for them as an adult. My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, from miniature Chihuahuas to American Akitas, giving me a strong understanding that every dog is unique in their temperament, personality, energy level, and individual needs. In addition to my personal experience, I work at an animal shelter where I have gained valuable hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This role has strengthened my skills in safe dog handling, reading canine body language, providing daily care, and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles, so I'm comfortable caring for a variety of pets and their needs🐾 I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide them with the reliable, compassionate care they deserve while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. I am currently working toward attending dog grooming school, I am hopeful to gain more experience working with animals on my days away from work. I offer services for walking. walks can be taken in your neighborhood/surrounding streets, or in designated doggie areas in the neighborhood if requested to do so.

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 Byron Center 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.

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.

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.
