“Phineas did a great job watching Dude. He spent ample time with him, and played fetch consistently. Dude has been looking for him since we got back. Highly recommend Phineas for dog/house sitting. He communicated well and we felt confident Dude was well taken care of. He left our house clean and our dog happy. Thanks Phineas!”
“Ashley was great with Winston and Bailey. Bailey is a little leery of new people, but after a brief introduction, she loved Ashley. Ashley was very easy to work with.She was on time for our first meeting. Ashley communicated very well. I would highly recommend Ashley based on this experience. Our dogs were happy and she took great care of them.”
“Daniel was so helpful during his stay at our house! He helped bring the garbage in, collected our packages that were delivered while we were gone and even helped water our plants. We recieved daily pictures and updates about the animals and even an update of wind damage our property endured while we were hone. We will happily have Daniel help us again with our future trips!”
“Jen was awesome. She came to the house for a meet and greet and I fell in love with this lady and so did my dogs! We were taking a cruise and were incommunicado for a week. Jen handled the dogs and the house with ease. She even retrained my dogs bad habit of racing out the door in a barking frenzy and did it in a day! We love Jen and would recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dogs and their home in the hands of a stranger. I gained not only a sitter but a friend!!!!”
“Elizabeth did a great job with Cooper and sent me pictures daily and updates. Cooper loved having her with him and I would definitely recommend & rebook her as a pet sitter in the future!”
“Autummn was great! She’s our go-to sitter and takes such great care of our two pups, one being a senior boy of 14 years. Great communication and daily photos and updates to know all is going well.”
About: I have been around cats, dogs and farm animals my entire life. I have had multiple cats and dogs at all times and of all sizes. I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible! I am currently working at a marina but am very flexible to work around that schedule for mornings, evenings, weekends and weekdays. I have a car and am able to come on short notice. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but live just down the road from a fenced dog park.
About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.
About: We LOVE being active and spending time with our four legged bundles of joy! Pets are a huge part of our life and we would love to help out when it comes to needing assistance and extra care when schedules get tight! We have very flexible schedules between the two of us, and love spending time with our pets giving them all the snuggles and cuddles they require to be at their best We keep our pets on routine feeding schedules and offer toys and enrichment activities as well as snuggles, affection and treats whenever needed. We will offer the same treatment to your furry family as well!
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! 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.
About: I take care of dogs and cats of all ages! Before booking, I love to schedule a meet and greet so that your pet can get comfortable with me and provide the opportunity to ask me any questions related to pet caretaking. I will be happy to match your pets’ typical routine, diet, habits, and learn their personality! As a pet parent, I understand the need for assurance when my pet is in someone else’s care. I will send daily photos/videos to update you on your pet’s behavior, activity, and well-being, while you’re away! I have lots of experience handling high energy dogs (as most of the dogs I care for are Golden Retrievers). Also, I am able to give your dog or cat oral medication. I value communication, so I try my best to respond to you as soon as possible. It is my mission to make your pet feel comfortable & loved… Just like their humans never left! I’m currently available full time which allows me to give my full attention to your pet. I enjoy daily walks- So taking your pup on a walk or incorporating play time would not alter my normal routine. Our day starts with breakfast, followed by a nice walk. My dog loves playing fetch, so we often add that in for extra engagement and exercise. When needed, I give my dog a bath and a good brushing to help manage shedding.
“Tranae was a phenomenal house and dog sitter while we were away for an extended holiday weekend. She kept in touch, sent photo/video updates and went above and beyond in many ways. Highly recommend!”
“We recommend Debra with the highest rating. She exceeded our expectations in house and dog sitting! She could not have been more kind, patient and professional in taking care of our dog who is tricky since he is a rescue. She is super dependable, loving, and considerate. What a wonderful gift it is to have her in our dog care program. We hope we can have her back in the future!”
“Mike did a great job caring for our senior cat and rambunctious Pomeranian. We appreciated the extra bonus of having him stay at the house. We were especially thankful when we were delayed getting home and he was able to stay an extra day! We appreciated his check ins and pictures throughout the week just to let us know all was well.”
About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ferrysburg
Ashley was wonderful! She sent me photos of her and my cat Virginia hanging out together. She assured me daily that everything was going well. I would highly recommend her to anyone that loves their animal as much as I love mine. My home looked great as well. It was nice to come home and just relax!
Phineas did a wonderful job watching George and the house. George is a senior dog with some with some medical issues that challenge his mobility. Phineas moved the furniture and spent time sitting on the floor to give George attention and break down his reticence towards new people. He also displayed that patience with him on walks and playing fetch.
Cassie was fantastic. We have an Australian Shepherd who can be selective with people, and Lucy bonded with Cassie almost immediately. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely cared for Lucy the entire time we were away. We were upfront that we have security cameras in the house, and everything we saw only reinforced how great Cassie was. She spent real time with Lucy, took her on walks, cuddled her, and treated her like her own dog. Cassie was very responsive, sent frequent updates and great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind. Most importantly, Lucy was calm, comfortable, and clearly happy. We would absolutely trust Cassie again and highly recommend her.
Emily went above and beyond with my kitties, Marv and Maisy. First time I’ve used Rover and I was relieved at how much of a good job Emily was doing and giving me amazing daily updates. I haven’t been gone that long and my cats are as normal as they can be when I got home rather than being stand-off ish and hiding. Highly recommend Emily to take care of your pets.
Devastated that this is the last 5 star review we can give Maria as she is wrapping up as a dog sitter. She has been our go to sitter for several years now, and our dogs absolutely adore her and her boyfriend. Congratulations Maria, and good luck on the next phase of your life!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ferrysburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ferrysburg on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 866 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ferrysburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ferrysburg 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 Ferrysburg 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 Ferrysburg 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
