About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)
“Brooke is so attentive to the dogs she is watching. She is always prompt to respond and shows care for the animals as if they were her own. Very grateful we found her!”
“It was so good to have Dawnn care for our Gizmo. He was more responsive to her than most others that come into out home. He accepted treats from her and ate from her hand and that is saying something for our immensely afraid cat! She also watered the plants for us. Thanks, Dawnn!!”
“Shannon has been coming for drop in visits for our two pups 3 times a week for about 3 months now. My partner and I got new jobs where we would be gone for 11 hours of the day, so we needed someone to come and let them out during the middle of the day. She's been absolutely phenomenal to our pups (1 of who isnt a huge fan of strangers, but she warmed right up to Shannon), always sends pics of them playing, gives them extra water on those hot days, and she is so easy for mom and dad to partner with. We so love her coming to play with them!”
“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of my two cats over the holidays. She handled the instructions for my elders cat's medicine and particular feeding well. Overall I would trust her in the future to watch them again.”
“Maelee took wonderful care of my cat Darcy. She sent lots of photos and a really detailed description of her drop-in, which made me feel so comfortable knowing Darcy was so well cared for! I had to change my trip and she was quick to respond and help me out. Thank you, Maelee!”
About: Having been surrounded by animals for the majority of my youth, I was gifted with a passion for creatures of all kinds. Early on, I was tasked with petsitting for family members. I have now started pet sitting for family friends, colleagues, and others. I am looking to expand my reach, looking for more opportunities to give my time to this passion. I am a college student studying Biology at GRCC. I have weekends and Fridays off. When I am not at school, my schedule is pretty flexible. After class, I have quite a bit of time, perfect for dog walks, check ins, or anything your pet may need! When house sitting, I do not mind staying over on weekdays. I will still have school, most classes being 3 hours long, with the exception of my Tuesday class which is 6hrs. If you have questions on when my classes get out, what my schedule may look like, or any thing else, please feel free to reach out! Safety and communication is number one for me. I have always made sure to keep a good connection with any pet owners I may be sitting/walking for. I have a good understanding on how an animal may react in stressful situations and how to de-escalate a situation. A pet’s safety and health is incredibly important to understand when working with animals.
About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life, and when I got old enough, I would frequently care for family members pets, as well as families around the neighborhood. I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, cats, and other pets! I'm available for drop ins/walks in the morning, later afternoon and evening. During the weekend, I'm generally available anytime. My schedule can be flexible, so I'm willing to try to work with your schedule. I make sure to follow the owners instructions on how to care for their pet, and adjust accordingly to the needs of the pet. The safety and well being of pets is first and foremost
“I was worried about leaving my 17-year-old cat while we were gone over a week for spring break but I felt much better with Brandi’s visits and thorough reports. And pictures. I know Mr Petey was lonely but also know he got a ton of lovings while she was here. She was friendly and kind and very professional and I would happily use her for Mr Petey again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 8! I have also had cats ever since I was 12! I know the basics on how to care for a dog and interact with them. I equally enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats!I know how to cure minor wounds and I’m not afraid of cleaning up some vomit or poop. I can accommodate to your pets need. Your dog or cat only eats if you looking at him ? I can do it! I am also currently studying for veterinary technician. Im currently working part time so I’ll have time for your pet! I volunteer at an animal shelter in Thursdays so those are reserved! The rest depends on my work schedule In your home I will take care of them like my own and follow instructions if you have any for me! I’ll play with them , feed them, bathe them if you want me to. Take them out for walks and to potty. Clean your pets litter and brush them if you need me to!
“Alice has come to watch Millie and let her out to potty on multiple occasions. It gives me peace knowing that my puppy is so well cared for while I’m gone. She is trustworthy, communicative and detail-oriented. I will definitely have her back, Millie loves her too 💗”
“As soon as I reached out to Sheena, she was quick to respond. I liked that she met with my dog and I ahead of time. She dropped in as promised. I appreciated hearing from her afterwards (via text, card and rover follow-up.”
“Beth was so phenomenal. We had her come on our wedding day to look after our 2 cats, one that requires medication and supplements multiple times a day. I can’t tell you how great it was to not have to worry about my cats at all, and to be able to look at photos of the cats throughout the day and know they were being taken care of. We got back home later that night to 2 very relaxed cats! Cannot recommend Beth enough!”
“Highly recommend Krysten for any pet needs. Her and her partner took amazing care of our 2 cats and bunny. Her first visit she noticed my bunny actually needed to see any emergency vet. She brought him in and stayed with him on the holiday. She truly cares about your pets wellbeing. Highly recommend her and her I’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors and treat every pet like family. I provide reliable care, walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home as an interpreter. My flexible schedule allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I am able to maintain their normal routines and provide regular updates to owners, helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive proper exercise, companionship, and affection while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them on my own when I was 10. I’m now 30 and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats, as well as some exotic pets. I currently have one dog and one cat who I adore. I’m comfortable giving medications since my own cat takes daily pills for a chronic condition, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable care. I truly love animals and always enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. I’m currently working from home and have flexible hours, so I can be pretty flexible about when I’m available during the weeks! I’m usually busy on weekends but I don’t mind a weekend request. If I’m available I will be there! At home I have backyard space at my townhouse where I can take my dog/other dogs out to use the bathroom! When I’m on my lunch break I can take dogs for walks around the block to get some exercise in for both myself and any dogs I’m watching 😊 When I go to clients homes I am happy to play with the pets, spend some time with them, and take them on a fun walk to burn off some energy!

Natalie was a godsend! Our kitty is very shy and does not approach easily, but she took to Natalie right away. Natalie was also very communicative with sharing updates & photos, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend, and would gladly welcome her back.
Highly recommend Krysten for any pet needs. Her and her partner took amazing care of our 2 cats and bunny. Her first visit she noticed my bunny actually needed to see any emergency vet. She brought him in and stayed with him on the holiday. She truly cares about your pets wellbeing. Highly recommend her and her I’ll definitely use her again.
Elizabeth took care of my 2 kitties! She was a warrior trampling thru 2 feet of snow to get to my house…. That in it self was awesome! She did everything that I asked and went above and beyond feeding my outdoor kitties also. She kept the house clean the kitty boxes clean. My cats are happy and healthy. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kentwood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 812 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kentwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kentwood. On Rover:

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.
