“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”
“We had Broooke check in on our 3 cats while we were on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious about having someone we don’t know do this. Brooke turned out to be very reliable and did a great job with her daily check-ins and pictures. Our cats are pretty incognito with strangers, so she really worked hard to get pictures! 😊 We appreciate all she did and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Brooke again.”
“Alyssa is so good with my shy cats! They love her and I appreciate her notes and pictures after check in. We’ve booked her twice so far and will definitely book her again in the future!”
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
“Jasmine is wonderful and highly recommended. My puppy Teddy has adopted her as one of his people. My shy guy doesn't quickly adapt to many humans but he looks forward to Jasmine's visits each week. 5 Stars for sure!”
“I have booked with Dawn before and will continue to do so. I always feel so much peace of mind knowing she’s checking in on my fur baby. My cat has a lot of challenging issues in her older years and Dawn is always super capable of handling whatever that kitty throws at her. Thanks Dawn!”
“Alice took great care of our cats! She was very punctual and reliable. She followed instructions carefully and I can tell she was kind to our kitties. Polite and pleasant. Enthusiastically recommend.”
“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!”
“Kelsey rules! She is always on time and a great communicator. Our German Shepherd loves her and she makes the most out of her stop in visits with plenty of play and potty breaks. Will continue to book as her and Forrest are available!”
“Peyton did a great job communicating with me to make arrangements, hds a quick meetup with me too see the layout of the house and such, and then was consistent with visits and slight changes to the schedule which we discussed before the booking. Thanks for taking great care of our Pierre!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for senior cats. I understand their unique needs, from medication administration to providing a calm and comfortable environment. I prioritize their well-being and ensure they receive the extra care and attention they deserve. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care and help cats become comfortable with me. My schedule is flexible, so I can follow their regular feeding, medication, playtime, and litter box routines. I’m also available for drop-in visits throughout the week. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and respect each cat’s normal routine and environment. In my home, I have a clean, finished lower level set up for cat care. My senior cat has been around other pets throughout her life, but I understand that not every cat enjoys company. I can keep cats separated when needed and will only introduce them gradually with the owner’s approval. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Cassie was wonderful to communicate with and was always on time! She made me feel very comfortable about leaving our pup for 5 days while we were on vacation. Would highly recommended!”
“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 been a part of a foster family for dogs of all ages since 2010 and will continue to do so even longer. The puppy litters I watched over the years have consisted of 4 puppies or less. The oldest "puppies" I've fostered were just about 6 months old but they are usually around 4 to 8 weeks. The oldest dogs I've watched were two small dogs: one was 16 years old and the other was 14 years old. Even before fostering, I watched and walked my neighbor's two dogs during all seasons. If she had not moved away, I would still be walking and caring for them now. I've always had a passion for dogs and my current dog, Ruby, is my second .
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 a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kentwood
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!

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 September 2026, there are 1,679 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
- 97% 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.
