“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“We love working with Alexandria and our pets do too. They always seem so happy when we get back and well cared for. We have several pets that need medications and just general aging. She goes above and beyond to keep them comfortable when we are away.”
About: I have been around animals in my family my whole life and have always enjoyed taking care of them and keeping them entertained. I have been working at Central Bark Doggy Daycare for 10 months and have experience with lots of breeds! I am currently attending Grand Valley State University, I'd like to spend my free time taking care of as many pups as possible. Back home I worked for a doggy daycare, but good doggy daycares are very scarce in this area so I wanted to be able to provide individual dog care! I live with my in a college dorm so my home is not available for pet care. But when I am in a clients home I always leave it just as neat as I left it. I would prefer if I knew where all cleaning supplies are in order to clean up any pet messes!
“Faith took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation and even made friends with our super-skittish one. It was hard to leave them for so long, but she communicated daily and included cute snaps of our babies. We will definitely be relying on her in the future!”
“Abigail was great, she responded quickly and was able to take a last minute booking. She sent tons of cute photos during her time with my pup which was much appreciated. Would book again!”
“Madison was always on time and gave very detailed updated on my kitties! She went above and beyond, even getting a stain out on my kitchen counter without me even asking! Will definitely be contacting Madison to hang out with our cats again for future trips :)”
“So thankful for Maelee. She went above and beyond and was extremely accommodating for our unexpected travel dates. She also does an amazing job with our cats :)”
About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)
“I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.”
“Highly recommend Lucas to care for your pets! Lucas is welcoming and engaging - both with humans and our dogs. He took the time to get to know our dogs, their routines and preferences and made sure they were comfortable while he cared for them. He was very communicative with us while we were away and at times went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken care of while we were away.”
“Cassie was wonderful to communicate with and was always on time! She made me feel very comfortable about leaving our pup for 5 days while we were on vacation. Would highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I am Amelia, a lifelong animal lover. I enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities! I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it is walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I love creating a routine that fits their needs while keeping you updated every step of the way. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to match your pet’s routine closely. Whether your cat or dog needs early feeds, mid-day playtime, or later check-ins, I can shift my day around their needs. I take safety seriously, from secure entry/exit checks to following feeding routines and medication instructions exactly as given. I stay aware of each pet’s comfort level and make sure they always feel safe, calm, and respected in their space.
About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 17. I own 1 and 1 cat. I worked at a pet store for 2 years and loved all the animals coming in and out ❤️ I Range from working part time to full time but I am very flexible! I love making and creating a scheldue to follow ! Especially for the pups I have a nice little yorkie if your pup needs a friend! Otherwise I am a great in home watcher. I also have a black cat that loves to play but not the best with bigger dogs !
About: I love all types of animals. I have experience in rabbits, cats & dogs. My family has always had animals, it’s a second nature to me. I am currently unemployed but looking for part time work. I would love to pick up pet sitting opportunities as much as possible. I have a free and open schedule. I do not offer pet services in my home but at the clients home I am more than willing to crate animals or let them out into a fenced in yard to watch them. I am good with rewarding with treats, having play time, picking up poop, cleaning, etc. I am fully capable of the responsibility it takes to care and build trust with animals.
About: I've had a lifelong passion for animals and have been fortunate to grow up with dogs, which inspired me to continue adopting and caring for them as an adult. My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, from miniature Chihuahuas to American Akitas, giving me a strong understanding that every dog is unique in their temperament, personality, energy level, and individual needs. In addition to my personal experience, I work at an animal shelter where I have gained valuable hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This role has strengthened my skills in safe dog handling, reading canine body language, providing daily care, and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles, so I'm comfortable caring for a variety of pets and their needs🐾 I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide them with the reliable, compassionate care they deserve while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. I am currently working toward attending dog grooming school, I am hopeful to gain more experience working with animals on my days away from work. I offer services for walking. walks can be taken in your neighborhood/surrounding streets, or in designated doggie areas in the neighborhood if requested to do so.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jenison stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Jenison 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 .

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 Jenison with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
