“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 have been a pet owner (cats, dogs, birds, rodents) for more than 25 years. I have done some pet sitting on and off for friends and family for years. I also foster dogs for a local rescue and have experience leash training puppies. I am always caring for my two cats and dog with playtime and long walks. 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.
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
“10/10 highly recommended. We had Sarah do drop in visits once per day for our cats over Christmas vacation. We were really nervous to leave our cats for a week because this was our first vacation since having them. We have one cat who is absolutely terrified of strangers and would prefer to hide under the bed all day and another cat who likes to sneak out the front door and explore. Sarah came in on the first day and became best friends with BOTH of my cats. Even my shy cat greeted her every day after and played with her throughout the visit. She did such an amazing job at keeping my cats inside, fed, and happy! My cats had such a good time while we were gone that they weren’t even bothered that we left! Sarah is a lifesaver for us and we will never stop recommending her!! Book today!”
“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.!❤️”
“Marlee was a great sitter for us! She paid very close attention to the cats and their needs and behavior. All of my worries were put to rest with her attention to detail. She was timely, respectful, and took great care of our fur kids and our home!”
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!
“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 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.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been actively involved in their care. My parents currently have three dogs, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy during walks. I’m currently between jobs and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of availability throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. I love being outdoors, staying active, and spending time with dogs, so this is a great fit for me. I’m happy to tailor walks based on your dog’s needs—whether that’s a shorter neighborhood stroll or a longer, more energetic walk depending on their energy level. I always make sure dogs get plenty of attention, care, and affection while they’re with me. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority during every walk. I always stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings to make sure they are comfortable and secure at all times. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I’ll keep you updated with any relevant notes from our walk and won’t hesitate to reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring, responsible hands.
“Megan did an awesome job with our fur baby. He tends to be ornery at times and she was able to work with him in spite of his attitude. Megan is very flexible and accommodating.”

I look forward to learning more about your pet and creating an overall good experience. :)
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.
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.
“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!”
“Abigail is super responsive and did a great job with our puppy. Our dog is working through separation anxiety so it was so nice to get pic updates. She was on time and I cannot speak highly enough about how responsive she was. Would recommend!”
“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.”

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.

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.

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.
