About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍
“Cassidy took lovely care of my Roland while I was on vacation. She even attempted the impossible and tried to clip his claws for me! Cassidy is a welcome addition to our family.”
“Vashti and Chris did drop-in visits for my cat every couple days for a couple weeks. When I returned, she was well-cared for and the house was immaculate. Superior level of service and care, per usual. Will of course continue to book with them, highly recommend.”
About: I've been working with, and caring for animals many years of my life. From huskies to terriers, and kittens or strays, I treat them the way friends do for one another. Putting their needs before mine. I keep them in my sight, in case of danger, to ensure their safety, and overall well-being. Therefore, they will be loved and treated like family. Therefore they will be given the most, and put first when it comes to effort, and understanding. Thank you I have an open schedule besides Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 11am. Additionally, I am devoted to your pet's needs and strive to accommodate your schedule. I have been caring for stray cats in my backyard for the past three years, with many of them needing specialty care. Whether it's a dog like my past companion, a husky named Ruby, or my friendly terriers, I adjust to their needs. I provide them with what they need. Whether they require adjustments for social anxiety or have a hard time on the leash or specific food requirements, I am familiar with these aspects. I am always willing to do what is best for them.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Jenison is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
