“The person who typically watches my pets was traveling with me, so I was a bit nervous to leave them for a whole week. I could tell during our meet + greet that Brendan loves animals + his many glowing reviews made me confident he could handle my energetic golden doodle, senior beagle + indoor/outdoor cat. I came home last night to happy, healthy pets. Thanks, Brendan!”
“Fantastic as always- we added a puppy into the mix so Caroline stayed at our home and was wonderful with our dogs! The puppy LOVED and bonded with her dog Gator. Will def book with Caroline again”
“Becki did a great job caring for our two dogs. She is a great communicator and sent photos each day! She left our home cleaner than she found it. We plan to use Becki again!”
“Kevin did an excellent job watching Rocky and Annie! They seemed happy , not stressed on our arrival. He communicated well and sent updates. The pups gave him 4paws each.”
“Amanda was great! She was dependable and reliable. She communicated every day with plenty of pic’s. She was all about time with the girls and snuggles. I could see how happy they were with her. She gave me peace of mind to be away on a work trip.”
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 15 years ranging from my family's terrier mix to my own dog, to family and friends' dogs. Right now, I’m available all day, every day to help with pet care, including the weekends. If anything comes up in our schedules, I’m happy to coordinate to make sure your pet gets consistent care. I care for pets like my own—attentive, patient, and loving. From meds and meals to walks, runs, and companionship, I keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Jenny did an amazing job watching our pup in our home. It was our first Rover experience and she did a a wonderful job making me feel comfortable leaving Luna in great hands. She sent us photos and kept us updated, which was very appreciated by a neurotic dog mom. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again!”
About: I love, love, love animals! I currently volunteer at the SPCA in Kalamazoo and it’s something I look forward to every week! I also have a 4 year old Irish doodle who loves making new friends! I grew up with 2 doodles and my love for animals is infinite. I love going on walks, working on skills, playing ball, ect! They will be loved and provided by a happy environment when being cared by me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can be home with them majority of time! I wake up around 6/7am every morning so they will also be able to go potty right away in the morning! For safety, I’ll always walk your dog on a leash/harness (whatever is provided) on a walk. I have a fenced in backyard and I also make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and I monitor your pet at all times during visits. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust in every home!
About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.
“Emily does a great job with Atti! We always come home to a house in at least -if not better- shape then when we left it. Atti boy is good and tuckered out from walks and loves.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets . “I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for dog walks throughout the day and can provide overnight pet sitting when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.” “I have one friendly dog of my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I provide attentive, loving care and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.”
About: I have Two dogs of my own (shared custody) and have had dogs my entire life. As of the past few years I have house and pet sat for my friends, coworkers and family and have really enjoyed it! I work 10 minutes from my home, so going back and forth isn’t an issue so I’m able to do frequent potty breaks and walks throughout the day. There are plenty of walking areas around me that are safe and accessible as well as a park right down the street. My apartment is very large and very pet friendly!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and cats, and I genuinely believe they are incredibly intelligent, emotional, and individual creatures with their own personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for many of my coworkers’, neighbors, friends, and my families pets, including dogs and cats that were described as shy, nervous, or not particularly friendly with new people. I’ve always been surprised by how quickly they tend to warm up to me. I’m patient with animals and pay close attention to their body language, giving them space when they need it while finding ways to build trust and keep them engaged. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially excited to take dogs on walks, hikes, adventures around the neighborhood, or to a park to play fetch and burn some energy. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending quiet time with a cat or a more relaxed pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, independent, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is always the same to make them feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I don’t just want to be their sitter I want to be someone they’re excited to see again. My current weekly routine is flexible and allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for pets. I work as a youth hockey coach, with practices or coaching responsibilities lasting approximately two and a half to three hours in the evening. I also work as a bar back three days a week. On those days, I typically do not need to be at work until 2:30 p.m., although my shifts usually end around midnight. Because of this schedule, I have availability during mornings, early afternoons, and on days when I am not working at the bar. I am able to plan pet care around my work commitments and make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, and companionship. I understand that watching pets can affect my weekly routine, so I am careful to communicate clearly, organize my schedule in advance, and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I primarily provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets are already familiar with their surroundings and can maintain their normal routines. I believe this is the safest and most comfortable environment for most dogs and cats, especially when they are away from their owners. My home is relatively small, is not located in the most suitable area for walking pets, and does not have a fenced-in backyard, so I do not feel it would provide the best environment for boarding animals. Caring for pets in their own home allows me to give them individualized attention while keeping them in a familiar, secure setting. I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other household pets, depending on their specific needs and care instructions.
“Karen was so super sweet and fantastic with our doggos. She spent a lot of time with them at our home, was very easy to work with and great at sending pics and keeping me updated. My dogs are happy”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cedar Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cedar Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cedar Springs 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
