About: I’ve had a passion for animals my whole life and love being around any and all animals. I’m very flexible and open and am open for almost any work! I’m currently a student at MCC, though it’s now summer break. I do have a part time Job as well but usually work in short shifts to not be away from your pet for long! I can take care of all basic and or extra needs such as exercise, bathroom breaks, feeding, and other needs necessary to your animal as instructed!
About: I like to call myself Maya Dolittle. I aim to make all my pet babies comfortable in whatever setting they may be in. Having a long history with pets, I have come to genuinely enjoy the sometimes passive, but always spontaneous care of pets. I’d love to meet your furry companion! I work full time, first shift, so I can tend to your pets anytime after! I love to travel, and would love to be there for your pet when you need a getaway. I live in an apartment, so the more ideal environment to tend to your pet is your household as they will be somewhere familiar and not have to be as contained.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 7 months, that included playtime, grooming, and training. I have always had a dog and a cat in my home growing up, and I strive to continue my future with caretaking animals. I will always try my best to make your animal as comfortable and happy as possible! I have no job currently, this would be my main priority, I am counting this as my job at the moment so my full attention is on pet sitting.

About: I don’t have “professional” pet sitting experience but I do have personal experiences. My grandmother had puppies that I helped caring for them. She had two shih Tzu puppies that I loved like they were my own. Sadly, they both passed away around the same time. I know how important it is to take care of your pets because pets are more like family than animals. So, I hope that you will trust me enough to take care of your family. I will listen to what you need to me to do. I can be flexible and go beyond the call of duty if necessary. I am open to learning whatever is necessary to be a great caretaker. I hope you choose me.

“Michelle did such a great job with my very active lab puppy! She sent pictures and videos as well as followed all care instructions. Was great at communicating with me , would highly recommend and will use again !”
About: I’ll give as much love and care to your pets as they can take. Experienced with senior dogs and puppies alike, you can count on me to keep your dog happy. When not doing pet care my work is my writing, which means I’m open and flexible, able to watch your pets morning, noon, or night. I always keep the comfort and well-being of pets in mind when caring for them, and am good with instructions for those with particular needs.
About: Hi! My family had dogs growing up so I've helped care for all ages from puppies to seniors. My dog, Rhett, is a 2 year old mutt I found while at school in Tennessee. He is the sweetest boy and loves to play. He gets along with everyone and has never met a dog he didn't like. He plays well with all sizes and has friends ranging from a 5lb teacup yorkie to a 170lb great dane! Your dog will get lots of love and play time during their stay with me. I try to do little bit of training with my dog most days, even if it's only a few minutes. He's learned so many tricks and I would be more than happy to try to teach your dog something new as well! Rhett's fun party trick is that he can "search" for a scent canister hidden in a cabinet in another room and lay down in front of it once he finds it. I work in healthcare so I don't have a typical Monday-Friday schedule. I will try to keep the calendar as updated as possible! On my days off, I like to take my dog hiking, to the beach, or to other dog friendly places. Depending on what errands I need to run, Rhett likes to join for the ride, he's my little adventure buddy. Fully fenced yard so they can enjoy lots of play time when the weather is nice. I board/ do daycare for one pet at a time and will do my best to make your pet feel at home! I treat each pet like one of my own. I would love to set up a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along!
About: I have a very open availability and am looking mostly to help with getting the furry friend some exercise while people are busy. I will follow instructions given by pet parents to meet their pets needs. Contact me about help with your furry friend! I'm open to all breeds. I'm pretty open. Let me know when you need a drop in or walk done. Last minute or planned. I will try to be there for your furry friend. I would give them a good play and a lot of attention, check and fill their food/water/litter or for a dog let them outside to do their business. Also I like to visually inspect around the house for any issues.
“Rebekah was Awesome with our Sparky girl !!! Sparky has separation anxiety when we leave and she was very comfortable with Rebekah and warmed right up to her with lots of affection & kisses during her drop-in. Rebekah was wonderful with Sparky during her drop-in and provided us with prompt & perfect communication & cute photos of her visit !!! We will definitely schedule with Rebekah again and can confidently recommend her for amazing care of your furbabies !!!!”
“Tyler was nothing short of amazing. From the moment she arrived at our Meet n Greet, she made me feel comfortable. She showered all the of my pups with affection, and followed their routines to the letter. Best of all were the lovely photos she sent each visit. We will absolutely be using Tyler's services again!”

“Lindsey was accommodating when I asked to switch a day she was coming to take care of my cats. She also sent pictures and a message each time she made a visit. I am happy with the care she gave my cats.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 5 years now. Dogs of any size whether huge labs or tiny mop poodles, and the surliest to the friendliest of cats. I adore them all! When it comes to caring for pets, my friends, family, and even strangers by word of mouth recommendations have relied on me to give their pets the best quality care and affection possible. Whether that be walks, feeding, bathing, and playing with pets, I can work with both young and old pets. I am currently working an 8am-5pm job M-F but can easily check in on pets during my lunch break and after work ends if within close driving distance and am completely free for full time care on the weekends for staying overnight or all day with your pet. I am even willing to stay overnight on work nights if close enough to work. I am someone who likes to pay attention to the details and will follow whatever instructions or guidelines you have for your pet in your home. I will keep the home orderly and clean and stick to any designated areas you may have.
About: I have raised two puppies of my own. They are super good dogs. Ive also had a older dog before so I can give medicine and whatever is needed. I am not working at all currently so i can be with your babies all the time. I don’t have a busy schedule so I can take very good care of your animals. I will make sure your animal gets what is needed and watch them just like they are my own. They will be played with and let outside and fed! And tons of love

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Muskegon
Isabella was awesome! We live 2 minutes away from her so she came out in advance to meet us, our dog and go over our routine (our pup is new to us, we adopted her 3 weeks ago!) for when she has to check in our pup. She clearly had fun with Lizzy, took lots of photos and was great at communicating! We will def rebook with her!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Emily took amazing care of our two dogs and kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable, kind, and great with animals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
