“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!”
“Brooke is so attentive to the dogs she is watching. She is always prompt to respond and shows care for the animals as if they were her own. Very grateful we found her!”
“Maelee was amazing! My kitty’s litter was scooped and water refreshed more than requested and communication was excellent. I received lots of photos and good updates. I recommend Maelee!”
“Kelsey was amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her and her kids. I highly recommend her! Being far from my dog was much easier knowing he was in Kelsey’s care.”
“Ellie was absolutely amazing! I went out of town for the holiday and she stopped in to check on my cat while I was gone. My flight home got canceled twice and she continued to check on her until I got home. She went above and beyond to help out. I hope to have her sit again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for senior cats. I understand their unique needs, from medication administration to providing a calm and comfortable environment. I prioritize their well-being and ensure they receive the extra care and attention they deserve. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care and help cats become comfortable with me. My schedule is flexible, so I can follow their regular feeding, medication, playtime, and litter box routines. I’m also available for drop-in visits throughout the week. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and respect each cat’s normal routine and environment. In my home, I have a clean, finished lower level set up for cat care. My senior cat has been around other pets throughout her life, but I understand that not every cat enjoys company. I can keep cats separated when needed and will only introduce them gradually with the owner’s approval. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Sienna provided drop in care/walk for our dog Sophie. We needed last minute coverage, and Sienna was quick to respond and flexible to our needs. She had good communication through Rover and overall a great experience. We would happily re-book with Sienna next time we are staying in the area.”
About: I have been a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!
“Had Megan for a repeat service. She does an incredible job with a grumpy, antisocial cat. Megan is very responsive to communication and asks questions if necessary. Will be using her again for our next get away.”
“Sara was great….she took care of my Kitties and went above and beyond. She had to give medication to my kitty which was probably not easy. She sent pictures of them…. I don’t know how she did it, but the pictures were so good, my kitties never posed for me like that so they must’ve loved her. Thank you, Sara.!❤️”
“Sara went above and beyond to help our shy kitty get some snuggles in. We highly recommend Sara. And would use her again.She took care of out plants, and was consistent in every way. I didn't need to worry about a thing. 5 star service.”
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: I love animals and enjoy spending all the time in the world with them. I have experience with advanced care through my vet tech experiences with college courses in the past. I care for my cats everyday, making sure the cat boxes are clean, have food and water everyday, and play with them when they want. I also give them tons of attention whenever they demand it. As for dogs, I never had one to call my own, but that doesnt mean I wont love and care for your dogs like they're my own! Dogs deserve someone who will care and respect them like you do. Currently trying to make this my full time job with my small business, Go Wild! Pet Services. Im good at following the existing routines of your pets, including feeding, walking or letting them outdoors, litter box cleaning, playtime, etc. Ive made this my full time job so nothing will get in the way with caring for your family. I do not offer services in my home just yet but I find caring for pets in the owner's hom is better for your pet. Familiar space for them to relax and enjoy their routines how they want it. Im able to travel to your home for optimal care. I adapt to their lifestyle, whether they lay around all day or play at every hour.
“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!”
“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Jenna did amazing checking in and feeding my cat and dog. My dog can be reactive but warmed up to Jenna way faster than most people (even nudging her to be pet during the first visit!) Thank you Jenna!!”
About: Hi! I am Amelia, a lifelong animal lover. I enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities! I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it is walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I love creating a routine that fits their needs while keeping you updated every step of the way. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to match your pet’s routine closely. Whether your cat or dog needs early feeds, mid-day playtime, or later check-ins, I can shift my day around their needs. I take safety seriously, from secure entry/exit checks to following feeding routines and medication instructions exactly as given. I stay aware of each pet’s comfort level and make sure they always feel safe, calm, and respected in their space.
“Much confidence going into the visit, with a meet and greet prior to. We really appreciated Jaclyn’s message detailing how the kitties were doing and about how she spent time playing with them. The pictures were very nice too :) We felt very confident that great care was provided for our kitties and will be using her again.”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the pet’s family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.

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 Byron Center 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 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. 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 Byron Center 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.
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.
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.
