“Kate came over to meet Ursa before her first visit. She was really sweet and Ursa, who is very shy, warmed right up to her. I felt safe leaving Ursa in Kate’s care.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful to our pets while we were away. One of my cats was dealing with medical issues prior to leaving for our trip and Kaitlyn went out of their way to update us and do whatever was needed to take care of our sweet boy. They absolutely exceed expectations! Thank you so much Kaitlyn!”
“Gretchen is timely, kind and very helpful! Sends multiple messages and photos of my cat Bella. She is also very accommodating with my CH kitty (cerebella hypoplasia) and helps her with her unique litter box situation. She definitely makes me feel calm, knowing my cat is in great hands when I’m on vacation! Highly recommend.”
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
“We had an amazing experience with Felicia! From the very beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely at ease leaving our Bernese Mountain Dog in her care. We received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Our dog was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable, which says a lot about Felicia’s character as our dog typically has major anxiety. Felicia even went above and beyond to feed our rabbit as well. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Jenn was fantastic! She arrived in time, followed our kitty's complicated medication routine perfectly, and stayed for a while to give scritches and play. My cats and I would definitely recommend her.”

I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime.

If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾
“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!”
About: I'd love to walk your dog and give them the love they deserve! I have experience pet sitting and walking, as well as riding and training horses growing up. I also love to run and would be happy to run with your dog if they need to get more energy out! Currently, evenings work best for me. Walks anytime after 5:30 should be fine on weekdays, and I am more flexible on weekends- I can often do walks in the afternoon as well. I am not able to provide pet day care right now. I would love to walk dogs, but can not take them into my home.
“Brandi was awesome! I loved the amount of pictures and updates I got! It makes me feel so much better about leaving my fur baby for this long. Tulip Mae loved Brandi and seemed very comfortable with her which made it so much better. Thank you so much!”
“Janelle was truly fantastic with our 2 dogs! I would highly recommend her. She did drop ins for us multiple times a day while we were out of town, and was punctual, engaging, and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. We feel so grateful to have found a reliable & dog-loving sitter!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since the day I was born. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and even ducks! These days I have a dog (3 years old) and a cat (11 years old). I had a second cat who passed in 2022 from illness, so I have experience caring for animals of all ages and health. I am reliable, patient and caring with animals and will treat your pets like my own! My schedule is flexible and I am able to travel in the Grand Rapids area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!! I work fully remote and have a very minimal meeting schedule Monday-Friday. My work is flexible so I am able to meet your pet care needs! I am also available on weekends! At our house, my dog goes potty either off leash in our backyard or on leash while we walk around the neighborhood. Our cat is strictly an indoor cat, but I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and am happy to care for yours however you need! I’m here to meet your pets’ care needs, so please feel free to provide any special instructions. Whatever it is, I will be respectful of your pets, your space and your time.
About: I am a life long dog lover, raising dogs for the entirety of my first 18 years of life. While we live in a home where we can't keep dogs. At home we care for a menagerie of pets, including 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 3 degus, 2 budgies, 1 cockatiel, 1 painted turtle and keep 5 freshwater aquariums! I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. I try to fit in 3-5 dog walks per week. Sometimes more if my schedule allows. I am always very mindful of any pets in my care. We have a cockatiel who we allow to fly around the house, so I am always very watching and aware, ensure doors and windows are treated with care to ensure the safety of my pets.
About: Play time, training, and walks! I have spent extensive time researching the learning process and habits of dogs. I absolutely adore furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I am a college student and I work part time as a caregiver. I am looking for more opportunities to get up and get active while making a little cash on the side! I offer dog walking services, overnight sitting, and even grooming. I would love to give your furry friend some extra love and care. I know how busy life can be but we all deserve a little pampering at times.
About: I worked for five years as a veterinary assistant/technician at a facility that offered boarding, where I became kennel manager. I'm confident working with seniors, medical cases, behavorial cases, and puppies. For all weekend drop-ins, my partner Alex will be accompanying me. I will be doing all pet care, but for my safety he'll be accompanying me. He'll be there to provide a little extra affection and play-time for your pets if they're interested. My schedule is open! I am a stay st home wife so I'll be able to devote plenty of time to your pets. I will have my partner, Alex, accompany me to all first visits for safety. He will also accompany me on any weekend drop ins. All pet care will be done by me, but Alex will give them a little extra love when applicable. I'm used to doing various different routines to care for pets. I have a dog of my own who's very friendly- if your pup needs a friend we can set up a play date! I'm mostly excited to offer one on one care for your pets in a way I was unable to do at a boarding facility.
About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kentwood
I highly recommend Dawnn! I was out of state attending a family funeral and needed someone I could trust to care for my dogs while I was away. Dawnn provided drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention for both of my dogs. She kept in constant communication with me throughout the entire time, sending updates and making sure I knew how they were doing. Savannah already knew Dawnn, but this was her first time caring for Selena, and everything went wonderfully. It was clear that Dawnn genuinely cared about their well-being and understood what was best for them. Being away from my dogs during a difficult week was stressful, but Dawnn gave me peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.
Love at first sight! Xylo absolutely LOVED his walk with Natalie. She showed up on time and even brought him a lovely treat as an introduction. We look forward to using Natalie whenever we are unable to give Xylo a walk. Great communication and care. HIGHLY recommend!!
Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!
Kylie is amazing! She is so kind and patient with my sweet rescue pup that is nervous around strangers. She went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for her as her own. Kylie sent me updates and pictures during their time together. She has been flexible with my ever changing schedule. We are so lucky to have found her and excited for our future visits with her! Thank you!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kentwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Kentwood 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 Kentwood 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.
