About: I grew up with large dogs growing up and currently have a pitbull named cow. I’m comfortable with most breeds and am capable of walking large dogs. I have multiple cats and am comfortable taking care of multiple pets at a time. I’m currently working part time and am looking to volunteer my time to take care of your pets. I’m happy to give walks or let you have a night out while your pet stays home. I am constantly trying to engage my pets throughout the day and give time for quiet time to decompress. I am attentive with litter boxes and making sure they get their outside time and walks.
“Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)”
“Morgan is awesome! Took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated and kept our mind at ease that he was taken care of. Great communicator & super kind human!”
“Kaitlin did a fantastic job watching my two cats while I was on vacation! She paid close attention to details, asked great questions, and provided daily updates with photos. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which was great to see. I would definitely have Kaitlin watch them again.”
About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!

Right now I am currently available everyday as I just completed my college degree. My schedule is open for house sitting, dog walking, or bathroom breaks.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up helping my great-grandma on her farm with training Border Collies, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and building trust with dogs. I’ve also trained my own service dog and currently share my home with three dogs, including a puppy. In addition to my dogs, I care for a special-needs cat, two rabbits, 15 rats, and a betta fish. Caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs has taught me to be attentive, adaptable, and respectful of each animal as an individual. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower-paced stroll, extra patience, or simply some companionship, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, so my weekday availability is primarily before or after work, depending on the service and location. I have full availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m currently taking on extra work to help save for my dog’s upcoming surgery, so I’m excited to provide dependable, caring service while working toward an important goal for my family. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including training my own service dog and raising a puppy. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, triggers, boundaries, and individual needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, access to your home, and any special care your pet requires. I’m also comfortable caring for animals with different needs, thanks to my experience with my own dogs, a special-needs cat, rabbits, rats, and fish. I believe good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll keep you informed about how your pet is doing and will reach out promptly if I notice anything unusual or have concerns.
About: I have been caring for, and loving on, cats and dogs my whole life! From an early age friends and family have relied on me to give love and care to their furry family members. Booking me allows you to rest at ease knowing your valued family members will be cared for as if they were my own! I currently work a remote job with flexible hours during the work day. This leaves me plenty of time to care for your pet’s needs before, during, and after the work day! I firmly believe in consistency of care for my own pets including medication, exercise, and feedings. A happy pet is a healthy pet. I would be glad to extend the level of care to your pet by getting to know your pets needs and meeting those to the best of my availability.
About: I have experienced watching animals as a pet care provider for years. My mom had started ALA about 5-6 years ago and ever since I've learned so much about dogs and cats. I work but at night, I usually am 3rd shift but get home and can stay home for the majority of the day apart from school from 12-2pm. I am pretty flexible too. At home we are fenced in and I've had years of shadowing my mom who used to work in a veterinary hospital. She has shown me how to safely care for animals and even certain medications. I have loved working with them.
About: I have been a pet lover for my entire life. My experience ranges from watching multiple dogs for weeks at a time to just walking dogs to get them out of the house.

My schedule is very flexible to fit your pet's needs. Safety is my priority. I will always cater to your furry friend's needs. With my flexible schedule, I am very trustworthy and reliable. I am ready to be your best friend's best friend.
About: Experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages as well as special needs and administering medication. Have worked in a dog kennel with up to 15 dogs. Can stay in your home weekends and so week nights depending on proximity to my home. Dogs will be let out minimum 4 times a day I will always ensure your pet is safe and within viewing even if they are property trained as accidents can happen within seconds with animals.

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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Kentwood is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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.

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 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.

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 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.
