“We had a great experience with Beth! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Apollo, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions. The updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and we knew Apollo was in great hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
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: 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.
“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.”
“Tyler was very flexible in booking last minute! I had a hard time finding a drop in sitter tonight and he was quick to response and show up to let my 2 little babies out! He had very good communication the entire visit! I really appreciated his willingness to come so quickly and took very good care of my puppies.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have 8+ years of experience walking dogs, watching dogs, etc! Experienced with puppies all the way to senior dogs! I love animals and treat them as my own when watching them! I am post-grad living at home for the winter months and have open availability all days of the week at all hours, so making time for pet care is a priority for me! When watching dogs they have my full attention and care, whether it’s feeding them, playing with them, walking with them etc! I pay high attention to detail and make sure they are always safe, happy and having fun!
“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.”
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.
“Kate was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our cats for more than two days. They can be a little spicy when meeting new people, but they’ve liked Kate right from the start. My mind was at ease because I know they were in good hands. Kate provided us with a daily report and pictures. We will absolutely have her watch our girls again and again! :)”
About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. 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. 🐾
“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!”
“I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.”
About: My name is Sara and I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even wild animals! I have a Basset Hound named Minnow who wants to be friends with anything that moves. I can stop by your home to care for larger animals like dogs, cats, etc. But I am totally cool with your small animal (I.e. Guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, etc.) staying with me if needed. I would be honored to care for your pets, spoil them, and treat them like my own. I’m currently working full time 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday. I can stop by your house to care for your animal early morning, on my lunch break, after work, and any time on the weekends. I have a safe and separate room I can place your small animal in while caring for them. A cage provided by the owner is required.
“Molly did an awesome job watching Ivy! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Looking forward to having her back in the future for more drop ins ?”
“We just started using rover for our puppy. Kaitlyn has been amazing, always sends us photo updates and leaves us an update on how Paige is doing. Our puppy adores her and the drop in visits help us break up the time we are away for work.”
“Cherokee did several drop in visits with Rosko over the holiday. She was awesome! Made it very easy to set up a key drop and sent great photos from each check in. Rosko was very well taken care of and I had peace of mind while traveling. Thank you!”
About: Hello there! I'm passionate about animal care, and nothing brings me more joy than helping our furry friends feel their best.

When your beloved pets are in my care, rest assured they're in for a blend of excitement and relaxation. They'll romp, they'll relax, and they'll return to you with smiles on their faces.

Similarly, for boarding, I can host up to two dogs concurrently, again with consideration for multiple pets from the same household.
“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.”

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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kentwood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
