“Jessie sent a picture of Georgie, took care of all her needs, and even spotted that Georgie was chewing a toy into small pieces and removed it from her crate. Jessie is also great at staying in touch!”

About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level—especially shy, anxious, or dogs who struggle with separation anxiety. I take the time to build trust and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I’m happy to keep pets on their normal routines, provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and enrichment, while also giving them space when they need it. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—I want them to feel like they’re staying with someone who truly cares about them. ❤️🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to structure my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I’m flexible with different schedules and routines and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication reminders, quiet time, or simply someone nearby for comfort, I’m happy to give them the individualized attention they need. During overnight stays, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep and make sure they have everything they need throughout the night. I’m happy to follow their usual bedtime routine, including bathroom breaks, medications, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for dogs who may feel anxious in a new environment. I understand that overnight care is about more than simply being present—it’s about making sure your pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or sensitive pets. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also careful about doors, gates, food, household items, and anything else that could potentially be unsafe for your pet. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Montague, MI, 49437

About: I’ve worked with many animals big and small. Both of my own and friends and family. I’ve owned 5 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I worked on a farm for 5 years taking care of the animals. I’m able to administer medications. I’m currently unemployed so I’m free most days. I do have pets at home to take care of so I just have to work around their schedules. In my home the pets get fed twice a day. The cats get their litter changed once a week and scooped every other day. The dogs are walked before and after meals and then any time they wait at the door. I will care for your pets they way they are used to and try my best to stick to their schedules.

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and currently have both a dog and a kitten of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets! I work in healthcare, which has made me very responsible, attentive, and detail oriented. I have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving environment while keeping you updated for peace of mind :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and kitten every day. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. Because I work in healthcare, I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to reliably commit to the pets I’m caring for. I make sure to dedicate quality time for visits, walks, and check-ins so pets aren’t rushed and receive my full attention. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I prioritize consistency, safety, and making sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can keep their environment as consistent and stress free as possible. This includes feeding schedules, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely while giving pets companionship and reassurance while their family is away. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with supervision and structured routines so pets feel secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own!

About: Your cat deserves more than just a quick food-and-water visit! I provide loving, dependable in-home cat care so your kitty can stay comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection (on their terms, of course! 😻). I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is being well cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like one of my own. ❤️ Serving Spring Lake, Michigan and surrounding communities. I own a small residential cleaning business and am adding a pet care business as I already pet/house sit for some of my cleaning clients on the side. I have watched a few of my cleaning clients' pets (cats and dogs) while they are on vacation. I have stayed overnight in their home, making sure their dogs go out and are well fed, whilst taking care of their home.

About: Growing up my family always owned one or two golden retrievers at a time and instantly fell in love with the breed. I worked at a dog boarding/day care facility for about 3 years. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds along with all sorts of temperaments. With that came taking care of dogs of ALL ages. I’ve handled up to 15 large dogs at a time, also handling cats. Absolutely loved my job and hope to continue working with animals:) I work at a School in Grand Haven, Monday-Friday till around 4p.m. (Sometimes later) So, my evenings are open to walks & drop-ins. My weekends are still available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks! In the summer there is lots more availability! I was lucky enough to grow up with a mom that did full time pet sitting at one point and got to tag along on all her trips. I also pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights, walks, and administering medications, eye drops, pills, ect. So, I know how important it is to be mindful of someone’s else’s home and their four-legged (sometimes three) loved ones.

“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”

About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

About: I have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dalton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dalton is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dalton. 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 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 Dalton. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
