About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work part time out of the house and part time in my home. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.
“What an amazing experience to be able to be gone for a long day and know that Millie was loved and well cared for by Lexi!! We definitely will set up more dates with her! Thank you so much!! 😊”
About: Though I primarily grew up with cats, I’ve always loved dogs and worked through a dog walking company a few years ago (the only reason I stopped was due to my vehicle being totaled after hitting black ice on the highway). I loved getting to know the personalities and tricks for each dog to keep them happy on walks and visits. For the last four years I’ve been working as a massage therapist and I often miss getting to interact with animals on a daily basis (aside from the ones at home that is). I understand the need for a caring and competent person to interact with and meet the needs of your furry loved one when your at work (or on vacation, etc.) and I am the person to show them that love and compassion. Im currently working part time at the end of the week so I have a good amount of time to take care of your fur baby. Though I'm not able to currently house or take care of pets at this moment, I have my two kitties at home that receive lots of love and attention.
“Jessica was amazing! I reached out at about 10pm to book a service for the next day and she responded right away! I usually like to do meet and greets before hand but due to it being last minute she agreed to a phone call the next morning so I could go over some things with her before the visit. I would definitely use her again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes some my own and others being friends and family! I’ve always been a great trainer, player and mentor for animals! I’ve worked with lots of puppies and older dogs as well! If you have tasks you would like me to complete training or healthy routines I am fully capable and committed to help! I love to help in all ways I can with pet care! While most of my friends and family rely on me to care for their animals while they are away! I’d love to do the same for others with all services available! I am available everyday m-f in the afternoon from 1pm - 12! Weekends are always free! I do not have an issue doing early morning visits as well! I am always very loving and caring and supportive of routines for all furry friends! I take pride in keeping things tidy and taking the greatest care for the pets I watch! Offering lots of attention, love and detailed tasks! I simply enjoy being able to show love and affection as well as respect and good values to others homes and pets!
About: I have an older pup with health issues so i understand the need to have the times and certain circumstances prioritized! For kitties i understand it’s hard for them to warm up and i am very patient and want them to feel comfortable regardless of where they are! I work 12am-12:30pm saturday through monday so during the week i have some down time and what better way to fill it than watch some cuties! For Dogs: I take the pups out on leashes but if you have a fenced yard i can obviously watch them and play with them outside that way! With owner permission i can take them to the dog parks and get more energy out that way! i do not mind dogs getting dirty and then getting in my car. For Cats: I can bring some toys, cat nip, and treats if allowed! I want them to feel comfortable in either their own environment with me there or in my home. Change can be a lot of them but i want all kitties to feel welcomed and calm with me!

About: I am a huge animal lover and will gladly take care of any fur baby. I follow directions and strive to make sure that the animal and owner our satisfied with their service This is my main job as of this time, but I also have a volunteer work that is flexible for me and for the furbabies that have been entrusted to me.

About: I have owned and taken care of animals my entire life, I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats including walking, bathing, feeding, and so much more! I also have experience in basic training for younger animals and I am also able to care for senior animals such as giving medication or treating them with the extra care they deserve!

About: I like to call myself Maya Dolittle. I aim to make all my pet babies comfortable in whatever setting they may be in. Having a long history with pets, I have come to genuinely enjoy the sometimes passive, but always spontaneous care of pets. I’d love to meet your furry companion! I work full time, first shift, so I can tend to your pets anytime after! I love to travel, and would love to be there for your pet when you need a getaway. I live in an apartment, so the more ideal environment to tend to your pet is your household as they will be somewhere familiar and not have to be as contained.
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!
“Zach was amazing! He took great care of our kitties. He sent us good photos, took care of their food/water/litter, and he spent time playing with them! We also noticed he made sure the litter mats stayed clean, which is above and beyond because we haven’t had that with sitters in the past. Thank you so much Zach! We would definitely book him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
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.
About: I have 10 years experience watching hobby farms. Most of my time is spent watching pigs and chickens. I worked at a horse farm this past year handling 40+ horses a day. I frequently administer meds to various animals. I have a very flexible schedule to ensure your pets needs are met. I currently work for myself and can adjust my schedule according to your needs. I typically do 2-3 visits for daytime and need up to 6 hours at any point in the day for work. I prefer to spend as much time as possible with your pet to ensure their routine does not change and can adjust my schedule accordingly.
“So grateful for Nick’s drop in service this past weekend. Our pups’ dog sense took right to him, and he was very thorough and attentive to all their needs.

From the moment we met her, Alyssa has been friendly, genuine, and trustworthy. She clearly loves dogs and spends quality time with Georgie. She is responsive to communication and careful about safety. She even sends pictures of the fun they’re having, so when I go out, I don’t have to wonder whether Georgie is having a good day!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fruitport 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.
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 Fruitport 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fruitport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
