“Dawnn is so nice! She came short notice to meet us a few days before Mazie’s walk. My dog immediately loves her! She sent pics and an update during the walk. Would love to book again if there is a need!”
About: Growing up I've taken care of my family's dogs, at the moment my family has three dogs; an American Eskimo, a Eurasier, and a mini Australian Shepard. I love all animals at the moment I have a leopard gecko named Cyrus! I can provide walks on a strict/loose scheduled basis, cater to feeding times with routines/extra steps, I can offer space and quiet to older dogs/skittish dogs, I'm able to provide play time to those who have high energy dogs as well. At the moment I work Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays usually in the mornings. My schedule varies from week to week, but don't be afraid to reach out! I will do my best to accommodate you! As a house sitter I plan to care for your fur baby. If your dogs needs a walk or two a day, brushing, meal times, and play time I am able to offer. I truly want your pet to feel safe in their home while I am there. I don't want to overstep boundaries of both you or your fur baby.
“Kelsey has been a huge help for our family. We got a new pup this summer and as a teacher I was nervous about leaving her at home all day for the first time. Our high energy vizsla girl very much enjoys her 30 minute walk each day with Kelsey. I would recommend her services to my friends and neighbors.”
“Maryam came out and met Chase and I prior to her first walk with him! She was really wonderful with him and was familiar with our community so very helpful! She allowed time for Chase to sniff her and get comfortable with her while we talked. I appreciate her calm but confident presence! There first walk went great!”
“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”
“Julia was great! She understood things so accurately and intuitively right from the start. Great communication. I felt completely comfortable with her follow through and pet care!”
“Renee is such a gem, and my pup loves her time with her. It is so nice to know on the days that I work late I don’t have to worry about my pup having to be alone all day and not get her steps in. Renee is very communicative and reliable. A welcome addition to our weekly routine.”
About: II’ve been pet sitting for my sister for the past two years, including full week stays while her family travels. During that time, I’ve cared for her two cats – feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them plenty of love and playtime. Cats are easygoing, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have my own dog and cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I take my dog on regular walks and love bringing her to the park. Sometimes my cat even joins the adventure! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for. I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 3–6 pm. Outside those hours I’m available for walks, play, feeding, and maintaining your pet’s schedule; I’ll update you if anything changes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home whether I’m caring for them in my space or in theirs. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel relaxed and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, since every pet is different. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always make sure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure everything stays neat while giving their pets plenty of love and attention. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and having fun.
About: [This profile is ran by Vashti primarily] Both of us have lived with dogs for most of our life and have taken care of our own dogs for over 5 years now. We love dogs! Available almost all the time! We can take care of your furry family at any time that suits your schedule. Let's talk so we can learn more about each other! We have a fenced in backyard that covered in shade throughout the day. We also have lots of space in our home! Your furry family member will have plenty of room to roam around, play, and take care of their bathroom business outside.
About: As a life-long pet owner, I’ve loved our pets through rambunctious puppy-hood and curious kittens all the way through tender care as they’ve crossed the rainbow bridge. I currently have an elderly dog named Callie and 2 lovable kittens named Mustard and Relish. As a family, we volunteer to clean and feed the cats at Grandville’s Community Cat Crew every weekend. I’m excited to love and care for your pets the same as I do our own! I work in the schools, so during the summers and on the weekends, I’m available and flexible to meet the needs of your pets— early mornings, late nights, multiple times a day, I’m here! I approach each pet based on their response— if they are excited and rambunctious, I will jump in and play and walk. If they are cautious and reserved, I will take the time to patiently wait for them to approach me for love and care.
“Annette is great at communicating and is very reliable. She is also amazing with our dog who is quirky and has quite a few health issues! We are very grateful for her.”
About: I love walking dogs! I have a dog of my own (Winnie) that I have trained. She’s a poodle/schnauzer mix and is a bit of a troublemaker. I am very familiar with high energy dogs and can handle them well. Although my dog looks small, she used to love to pull me on walks. So I’m familiar with handling pullers! I work in the afternoons so I’m looking to fill up my mornings. I love long walks so don’t be afraid to request me for an extended time/distance. If you book me, I’d ideally like to be done walking by 12:30pm so I can be ready for my part-time job at 2pm. I know every dog is different so I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs. I do not rush dogs on walks. I’m very hyper-vigilant so I’m great at accommodating each dog’s needs. I walk with my belt bag filled with treats, extra poop bags, bug spray, sun screen, etc. so I’m ready for whatever comes my way.
About: I’ve always had pets and currently have two goldens and a cat. I absolutely love animals and now that my own human kids are grown I have extra time on my hands and I’d love help you spoil your fur babies. I’m happy to walk them, sit with them, play in the yard or whatever helps them feel loved when you’re not home ❤️ After 15 years as a parapro in a special needs preschool classroom I have recently taken a new position as a Marketing Assistant. I usually work on Tuesday and Wednesday but can have availability on those days in the evening and most of the day on M/T/TH/F and on weekends. I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I am unable to care for your pets in my own home right now but am happy to drop in and let yours out to potty, feed them, play fetch or other outdoor games, go for a walk, or just sit and snuggle if that’s what they prefer 😊 I am also comfortable giving medications if need be with instruction and a demonstration from you. I previously had a dog with diabetes and am experienced in giving insulin injections.
“Lucas is a lifesaver! I’m so happy he was willing to take us on as clients. He’s responsive, punctual, and friendly. He provided great feedback from walks with my Samson; they seemed to get on pretty well. I would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been working as a professional pet sitter and dog walker for over seven years. I’ve been howled at, licked, bitten, pooped and peed on, dragged into a lake, growled at, barked at...and I will always be up for more! I live in Grandville with my two children (18 and 12) who are also animal lovers. We also have a senior Maltese Yorkie Shitzhu mix named Irie, who is a grumpy old man and a ferocious beast (he thinks). I work full-time as a marketing consultant. I love to play with dogs for exercise and as a reminder to not take life so seriously! Sometimes communicating with animals is much easier than communicating with humans! :)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Byron Center. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Byron Center after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Every walker 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
