“I was worried about leaving my 17-year-old cat while we were gone over a week for spring break but I felt much better with Brandi’s visits and thorough reports. And pictures. I know Mr Petey was lonely but also know he got a ton of lovings while she was here. She was friendly and kind and very professional and I would happily use her for Mr Petey again!”
“Dawn is the very best at getting our scaredy cat to come out and say hello. We will use Dawnn every time we leave home without the kitty. You can feel confident with her caring for your pet as well.”
“Our third time having Elise watch over our kitties while being out of town this year and again, nothing but satisfied! Elise is incredibly reliable and easy to work with that it allows us to fully relax on vacation knowing our cats are in good hands. She helped cleaned up a spill as well and is very good about sending detailed reports which we always enjoy reading. Thank you so much, Elise!”
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.
“Maelee continues to amaze us. We love how punctual she is, how communicative and detailed she is, and how well she cares for our senior dog. She has also come through for us in a pinch on a couple of occasions and we so appreciate it!! So happy to have found her and to be able to use her services as a repeat customer!”
“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. From tiny shih tzus, heelers, golden retrievers, I’ve loved spending time with all the dogs I’ve had, and the ones I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of. My typical work hours range from 8-3:30 Monday-Saturdays! I have time to take care of pets in the afternoon and evenings, as well as all day on Sundays. I try my best to make sure pets are comfortable, which is why I enjoy pet sitting at a client’s home. Having a plan and schedule helps myself and the pets out.
“Cassie was wonderful to communicate with and was always on time! She made me feel very comfortable about leaving our pup for 5 days while we were on vacation. Would highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since I was a kid. I have currently have a dog of my own, but enjoy quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.
“Phoebe is such a wonderful person! She was very loving and conscientious with our two big dogs. She knew it was our first time away from our newer dog and she kept us updated regularly with messages & pics. We will definitely hire Phoebe again!”
“Sara was awesome; did everything we asked of her and more. She was not intimidated by our protective cats and we look forward to using her again in the future. I'm sure they will remember her (:”
“I've booked Elyse a couple of times for my dog and cats and she's always been great! Very reliable, follows all of my instructions, sends pics, and also helped me out with a couple of last minute issues!”
“Sarah was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat! She communicated well and sent pictures and a message every day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive to text messages. Our shy cat even came out of hiding most days she came over to take care of her. I highly recommend booking Sarah for your pet care.”
“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!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Byron Center on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byron Center. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
