“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
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!
“Cassidy did very well with my high energy and quirky babies! She was punctual, communicative and friendly. I would definitely recommend her to someone looking for these qualities in a sitter!”
“Ellie has watched our cat four separate times now while we were away. Ellie is very reliable and our cat enjoys her visits. She is responsible with the multiple medications our cat needs and sends several picture updates each visit. She also is helpful in getting our mail while we are gone. We feel relaxed leaving our cat in her care and trust her each time to do a great job.”
“Sarah was great with my cats, tracking down my shy boy each visit. This is her 2nd year with us. Gave the cats their meds and sent timely updates. I highly recommend!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats through owning family pets and helping care for animals belonging to friends and relatives. As a pre-veterinary student at Grand Valley State University, I am passionate about animal health, safety, and well-being. I have also gained hands-on experience through veterinary shadowing, where I observed animal handling, patient care, and communication with pet owners. I am attentive to each pet's unique needs and committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you are away. I currently have full availability for the summer and can provide flexible pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. As a pre-veterinary student at Grand Valley State University, I enjoy spending time with animals and am excited to dedicate my summer to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and attentive care. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or during a visit, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. As a pre-veterinary student with veterinary shadowing experience, I understand the importance of monitoring animal behavior and well-being. I strive to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you are away.
“Highly recommend Lucas to care for your pets! Lucas is welcoming and engaging - both with humans and our dogs. He took the time to get to know our dogs, their routines and preferences and made sure they were comfortable while he cared for them. He was very communicative with us while we were away and at times went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken care of while we were away.”
“Alice has come to watch Millie and let her out to potty on multiple occasions. It gives me peace knowing that my puppy is so well cared for while I’m gone. She is trustworthy, communicative and detail-oriented. I will definitely have her back, Millie loves her too 💗”
“Phoebe was great! I was last minute finding someone to drop in on Scout and she was very accommodating and willing to be flexible! Provided many photos of my sweet girl - Much appreciated!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.
“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!”

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.
