“Peyton is amazingly attentive and punctual for her twice a day visits! I received feedback everyday which I greatly appreciated. I give Peyton my highest recommendation and will definitely ask for her assistance again in the future. My cats can be shy but they totally bonded with Peyton and loved her visits!!”
About: Each and every dog is treated like our own. We adore being able to share the love with our borrowed fur babies. Weather permitting the dogs are taken on two longer walks with as many potty breaks as needed between walks. Please let us know any special needs your friend may have and where your fur baby prefers to sleep. I work from home so the work breaks that caring for the dogs(whether it be feeding, walking or just playing) are welcome. Most always there is a dog laying at my feet while I work keeping me company. I have a multi level house with plenty of space for the dogs. They can find their place to sprawl out to nap, find a good place to roughhouse, or do a good session of rope pulling or ball toss I also have a very large fenced in deck to allow them to get some fresh air, play or sit by a fire at night with us
“She goes above and beyond. I’ve hired her twice now and she’s so sweet with my babygirl, punctual, and kind. I always know my cat is in the best hands and seek her out whenever I need a sitter!!”
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
About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog; pit bulls, poodles, doodles, labs, golden retrievers, Bernese Mt. I have cat sit experience as well. I currently have at home 3 dogs one is 2 and the other is 5 and the oldest one is 11. I have experience with senior dog care as well as administering medications and special food or diet restrictions. I look forward to taking care of your animal! Right now I am currently available everyday as I just completed my college degree. My schedule is open for house sitting, dog walking, or bathroom breaks. I offer a safe environment with other dogs to play with being my 3 dogs. I prefer watching your dogs overnight at your house, but possibly can make arrangements to stay at my house.
About: I'm not real sure what sets me apart from other sitters, I just know I've loved animals my whole life. I've owned a few dogs and a couple cats over the years. I have a full-time job in retail, so my schedule is a little odd, but I have every Friday off, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening. If you need a sitter at your house, or just need someone to drop in and check on your fur babies. I'm available and reliable! I have a full time job in retail, but on my days off or my evenings off I'd like a little fur company. I'm looking for a permanent doggie day on Fridays. My senior cat passed away back in March 😢. I'll be kind and gentle with your pet/family member. ❤️ I was a boarder a few summers ago, but I'm just looking to help sometime out a little.
“Maelee was so amazing with our pups! We were so grateful to have Maelee step in for a last-minute drop-in for our dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort she put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Maelee!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kelsey was great and already looking forward to booking her again. Upon first meeting her I could tell she was friendly and reliable. She was always quick to respond and flexible for our needs. My senior cat was happy while we were away which means she was well cared for. Reliable and responsive - that’s all we ask for and Kelsey nailed it!”
“Grace did a great job while we were out of town. She took care of our cat while we were gone for two weeks in our home. We got pictures while we were gone every time she visited. I could tell our cat was a little apprehensive at first but towards the end of our trip, our cat warmed up. I will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up around animals:) I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also work as an animal care technician, giving me hands on experience with safe handling, reading body language, and daily care. I also have experience with birds, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles.I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and safe while you’re away 🐾 Caring for animals on Rover has been a joy! It fits perfectly with my busy work schedule. I’m also an Animal Care Technician at a local shelter, so I have hands-on experience handling and caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following routines, handling pets safely, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Walks can be taken in your neighborhood, surrounding streets, or in dog park areas if requested to do so. I also provide my own dog waste bags :)
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.
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.
“Vashti and Chris did drop-in visits for my cat every couple days for a couple weeks. When I returned, she was well-cared for and the house was immaculate. Superior level of service and care, per usual. Will of course continue to book with them, highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Byron Center is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,653 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Byron Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byron Center. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
