“We took a chance and hired Elise without meeting her first due to time constraints. She was awesome with our cats! We have 5 cats, 6 litter boxes, daily medication, and occasional vomiting/peeing outside the box. Elise handled everything matter-of-factly, like she has seen and handled it all. When we returned, our cats were happy, healthy, and all accounted for. Elise was on time for every visit, spent the right amount of time, and sent me pictures and an update after every visit. Our house looked just like I left it, with everything clean and in order. We would definitely hire Elise again and I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Katrina agreed to care for Coco last minute. Her usual caretaker could not do the job any longer. I had given the job to another person on Rover and they cancelled. Katrina came over for a meet n greet and walk to get to know Coco. She followed the directions given very well and I loved the pictures. Coco seemed to really love her and she was well taken care of. When coco was having problems sleeping Katrina added an additional daily walk and it really helped her. I would definitely tell others to use Katrina.”
“Brooke took care of our three cats and saltwater fish tank while we were on vacation. She was reliable with all the check in visits and sent updates with pictures as well. I would recommend her to others and we will use her again in the future!”
“Marlee was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and notes. One of my dogs is a rescue and tramatized, she took to Maelee right away. And Maelee was able to get her to take her medication and go to the bathroom. Which is not always easy to do. She took a lot of time with the dogs and was very patient with them”
“Beth was so great and our cat Gus loved her! She provided us with adorable photos of the two of them and we can tell he was so happy to have her there. This was an awesome first experience with Rover and we will be recommending Beth to all of our friends and using her for future visits. :)”
About: I've had dogs in my home all my life. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes. I love dogs and will care for each one with whatever is needed. I'm not afraid to try something new. I create stories and share them with others. Whether it's through my YouTube channel or publishing books, I enjoy stories. I may even read to my pets my stories or other stories just for fun! I have a fenced yard, and currently have two puppies (about 1 year) that are staying for now. We have a dog crate, so I can move them around as needed. We're hoping to get a puppy of our own again when these young ones move out. I do have vision and hearing issues, which can result in some trouble seeing or balance issues. I can handle big dogs, but smaller is naturally easier.
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 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.”
“Dawnn doors a great job with our fur baby and he does well with her. She communicates well and is flexible with the visits, following our instructions well. Thanks for your reassurance that all is well with pictures and words!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 💗”
“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
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! :)
“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.”
About: All three of our animals are besties and our whole world. My husband and I have had pets my entire life :) my husband and I work together to take the best care of your animals in our home or yours! Currently my husband and I work opposite schedule, someone is often home with the animals. If not, we will confirm you are comfortable with the duration we leave (if care is in our own home). I will care for your pet in any way that is needed or requested! We give lots of attention and care because we know that pets can be uncomfortable in a new environment or with a new person! We want your pet to be comfortable in any space!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kentwood
I always love working with Alyssa on Rover. She is so sweet and follows all directions perfectly. She always leaves very sweet updates and photos for me and responds quickly. I am very thankful for her when we go out of town to check on my kitties. Thank you Alyssa!
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.
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kentwood on Rover is $17.12 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,743 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kentwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
