“Molly was very accommodating and flexible throughout our drop in visits! We had quite a few changes in our schedule and she was kind & responsive to this throughout the weekend. Gizmo was well taken care of & enjoyed his time with her.”

About: I love animals and enjoy spending all the time in the world with them. I have experience with advanced care through my vet tech experiences with college courses in the past. I care for my cats everyday, making sure the cat boxes are clean, have food and water everyday, and play with them when they want. I also give them tons of attention whenever they demand it. As for dogs, I never had one to call my own, but that doesnt mean I wont love and care for your dogs like they're my own! Dogs deserve someone who will care and respect them like you do. Currently trying to make this my full time job with my small business, Go Wild! Pet Services. Im good at following the existing routines of your pets, including feeding, walking or letting them outdoors, litter box cleaning, playtime, etc. Ive made this my full time job so nothing will get in the way with caring for your family. I do not offer services in my home just yet but I find caring for pets in the owner's hom is better for your pet. Familiar space for them to relax and enjoy their routines how they want it. Im able to travel to your home for optimal care. I adapt to their lifestyle, whether they lay around all day or play at every hour.
“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!”
“Much confidence going into the visit, with a meet and greet prior to. We really appreciated Jaclyn’s message detailing how the kitties were doing and about how she spent time playing with them. The pictures were very nice too :) We felt very confident that great care was provided for our kitties and will be using her again.”
“Abigail is super responsive and did a great job with our puppy. Our dog is working through separation anxiety so it was so nice to get pic updates. She was on time and I cannot speak highly enough about how responsive she was. Would recommend!”

“Megan kindly stepped in at the last minute when we needed a cat caretaker and were already out of town for Christmas. Megan was flexible over the holiday and took excellent care of our small orange gremlin.”
About: Hi! I am a junior at GVSU studying Radiation Therapy. I have pet sat and dog walked for family and friends for years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from nervous chihuahuas to chunky Rottweilers! I’ve also cared for many cat personalities too. I’ve volunteered at West Michigan humane society in the cat and small animals department. I also have a love for reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 five year old Guinea pig girls, and my roommate has a Russian tortoise! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, fostering and adopting dogs, taking in barn cats, a few pet fish, and having a leopard gecko for 10+ years. I have a lot of time available, and would love to assist your family! As a busy college student- I actually have plenty of time to stay in someone’s home as I can study! I have scheduled classes 10am-3pm Tues, Wed, and Noon-2pm Thurs. I can be flexible depending on your needs. When caring for an animal in a clients home I want to understand the animals personality, needs, and quirks. I love playing with animals, giving them affection, or just being in their presence. I make sure your pet/s have plenty bathroom breaks, constant clean water, fed at appropriate times, and feel loved. I’m happy to abide by oddly specific instructions, my own animals require some silly requests :-) Every animal has different levels of trust, and I am always patient to gain that trust and not expect it. Your pets won’t be bored or lonely, I’m happy to keep them entertained!
“Joshua went above and beyond what we asked. He not only came to feed, give our dog water, and let her out; he worked on commands, spent extra time with our dog, and made sure she was a happy pup by the time he left. Amazing pictures and videos too! We will always be booking with Joshua!”
About: I have owned pets for 20+ years of my life, both dogs and cats. Making myself a safe presence for them, taking them on walks (yes, the cats too!), making sure they get lots of love and attention, and being highly communicatice with owners are my top priorities. I am currently working part-time, so I am very flexible when it comes to availability! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are all available. I am available most weekends as well, just need advance notice. Pets are fun because they all have quirky personalities! I like to get to know pets (and their owners) rules and boundaries in order to create a safe environment for your animals. I have a fully fenced in yard, access to TONS of dogs parks and trails in the area which I enjoy walking with my wife and our dog. For cats, I want to make sure they get lots of attention (if they are into that) with playtime, pets or just respectful co-habitation.
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.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
About: My goal is to make sure your dog is happy, comfortable and having a great time! Whether thats lounging on a couch together, playing fetch, going for a hike, fun enrichment activities or working on their skills. Together you and your dog will let me know what you both are seeking and I will custom my time spent with them to their needs and wants. Its all about the Dogs. I have lots to offer in forms of exercise and enrichment. I also work part time at our local Animal Shelter where I work specifically with the dogs caring for their daily needs and providing a variety of enrichment activities. I am also a Fear Free and CPDT-KA, SBA Dog Trainer and formally taught Obedience Classes at the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I specialized in Reactive Dogs. I only use positive and reward based training. Now I primarily focus on providing free training sessions to families with dogs in our community who face financial hardships through the pet outreach organization Grand Rapids Pit Bull Alliance.. I have my CPDT-KA, Certified Professional Dog Trainer Knowledge Assessed certification from the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. I also have my Fear Free Certification and am a member of the IAABC, International Association of Animal Behavior Consultents Shelter Division. I am also a Horticulturist therefore my schedule in the Fall and Winter changes to provide more availability as I am laid off from my landscaping employment. I will provide trusted care to your pets in the comfort of your home in a environment they are custom too and more at ease. My goal whether working with our pets in the shelter or clients pets is to create a relaxing environment where they are happy and free from stress.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school and had my first dog, Charlie. I’ve watched dogs overnight with me and I’d love to watch your dogs during the day. Over the weekends. I’m available and in the afternoons and evenings I’m available after 4. I’d mostly like to walk dogs but I could house sit on a long weekend. I would love to take your dogs for walks throughout your neighborhood or mine! I am also happy to stay and keep your dog company while you are out and about.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kentwood is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,619 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kentwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 .
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
