“Brandi has sat our dogs and cat multiple times now and has always been great! She’s attentive to their needs, updates us on how things are going in detail, and keeps the house clean. Knowing they’re in good hands is a relief as our pets are our children and are particular about new people.”
“We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I got my first horse when I was 13 and trained him myself. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for horses, dogs, and cats, including many different dog breeds, from mastiffs and rhodesian ridgeback to boxer, labs, blue Heeler, and pomeranian. In my younger years, I owned a horse boarding farm, raised horses, was a 4-H leader, and enjoyed participating in horse shows with my daughter. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and other people’s pets over the years, including recently providing pet sitting for a friend. I’ve always had a special love for animals and truly enjoy their companionship. Now that I’m semi-retired, I have more time and flexibility to spend doing something I love. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give them the love and attention they deserve! I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe and familiar with their surroundings. I do my best to keep their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of love and attention.
“I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!”
“Genevieve was a great dog/house sitter for my German Shepherd! She sent regular updates with pictures and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Annabelle was incredible with both our two pups, a 9yo yellow lab and a 8mo old black mouth cur mix. She house sat and took care of them from a Friday to Sunday. She gave us periodic updates and made us feel very comfortable while we were out of town. She arranged an introduction with the dogs and they were immediately comfortable with her. We will definitely be having her sit the dogs again!”
“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”
“Ellie took amazing care of our girls! Our girls don't like being away from us and it was such a relief for us to know they were in such great hands. She did an excellent job communicating with us while we were gone. Our girls loved Elliot staying with them, we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Brooke did great with our dog. She even was able to stay extra days with him so we could extend our vacation a bit. We will definitely chose Brooke again for our house/dog sitting needs.”
“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”
“Love having Elyse watch my two fur babies. I always know when I go on vaca I don’t ever have to worry as I know they are both being well loved and taken care of. Thank you so much Elyse! It’s a great thing by to know you fur babies are being taken care of and you can enjoy your vaca! We had to extend our trip for a day and she was also able to stay and watch them!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to ensure their fur babies are well taken care of while they are away, whether it’s a weekend or a week. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort, making sure pets feel secure while you’re away. With a strong sense of responsibility and genuine care for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing not just basic care, but companionship and trust you can count on. I work a full time job 3 days a week for 12.5 hour shifts. It is understandable if that deters animals owners away from choosing me. On the days off, the fur babies will get all the love I can give them! When I’m on a sitting job, I always stay at the clients home for the duration of the sitting job so their fur babies are in the comfort of their own home with no environment changes.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work various hours, but I have lots of moments of free time that I love to spend with animals. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.
“We are so thankful we found Jenna! She stayed with our dog and cat for a few days and took such wonderful care of them. She kept us updated with multiple photos throughout the day and was incredibly patient with our reactive dog, who can take time to warm up—but he felt comfortable enough to sleep with her the very first night! We’re so appreciative of the amazing care and attention she gave our boys.”
“Lauren exceeded my expectations. I have never used a cat sitter before. My cats are kittens so they need lots of attention. I am sure I will be using her again. Especially now that I know I have someone where I can go away for a few days and don't have to worry.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hudsonville is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hudsonville
Autumn was wonderful with Murphy! She always checked in and provided pictures. When I first met her, she was so kind and soft spoken so I knew Murphy would be in good hands. My neighbor came over and met her and Murphy played with her dog, Cooper. My neighbor said "You are in great hands with Autumn - she is so sweet". So, we both loved her!
Lizzy was absolutely delightful to work with. She was kind and engaging in communication prior to and during the booking. And she was wonderful with our pups. She was so attentive to their needs and flexible in her schedule to make sure that they were taken care of. We are so thankful for her!
We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.
This was the 2nd time Hailey watched Kyla Mae. When she arrived at our home Kyla was so excited to see her! She started doing zoomies back and forth because she was so happy! It’s such a relief, and a weight lifted, to have found Hailey. Her communication is prompt, she arrives on time, and Kyla Mae obviously loves her. I highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for an amazing person to help out with their fur baby.

The average cost of House Sitting in Hudsonville is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $85 per night. 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.

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 Hudsonville 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 Hudsonville 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 Hudsonville 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hudsonville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
