About: Growing up my family had a small rescue that I helped run, now being grown myself I want to help people and pets out anyway I can! Whether it’s a potty break, walk around the block or a nice hike and some treats! I’m currently working Monday- Friday. I am available the whole day so if you’re looking for someone who’s around all day I’m you’re person! I’m also available after 5pm the days I do work! I am not currently doing in home services due to having two dogs myself in a small home but I am very cautious when it comes to safety and trust. I always make sure doors are shut, fences are locked, collars are on and secured (harnesses too). And I’m always on the lookout for pets getting into stuff they’re not supposed to.

About: I have several years of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes- dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, swine, etc. I have my B.S. in Neuroscience with a focus on Animal Behavior and am currently working on my graduate degree and obtaining certifications to become a research surgeon. I can comfortably provide services like nail trims, bathing, some grooming, anal gland expression, and medication administering (oral, injectable, etc). I am also CPR certified and have a professional experience and background in emergency/ICU medicine. I have experience working in a fear-free clinic and have a quirky shepherd of my own so babies with fear/reactivity are more than welcome. I would love to take care of your babies and make you feel like they are in safe hands so you can enjoy your time away! I have open availability on weekends and holidays. Weekdays I typically work 7-3pm but can be flexible and stop in if needed or make additional arrangements. After work and before work, my time would be dedicated to them! I can easily crate your animal if needed. I have a safe, pet proofed townhouse that would be comfortable for any animal big or small. I have my own private backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I am very flexible depending on each animals needs!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 8+ years, and I truly love working with pets of all shapes and sizes. I have hands on experience with everything from house pets to full farm life. At home, I have a dog, a cat, and a bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of species and personalities. I currently work part-time at a local small-business pet store, which gives me extra knowledge of pet products, nutrition, and enrichment options. I’m experienced with medication administration, special care needs, and building trust with shy or anxious animals. Whether your pet wants cuddles, playtime, or just a calm companion, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. I can’t wait to meet your pets and become their new favorite friend! 🐶🐱🦎💛 Pet care fits great into my schedule because I currently work part-time at a small-business pet store and I’m still building my clientele as an esthetician at the salon. This gives me a lot of flexibility, especially on days when I don’t have many bookings, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether your pet needs strictly timed meals, specific walking routines, slow introductions, medications, or just extra snuggles, I make it my priority to keep them feeling at home while you’re away. I maintain clear communication, send photo updates, and double-check instructions so everything is done your way. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, understood, and cared for just like my own.

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 been caring for animals for the past year and an a half, but always had dogs and cats growing up. I’ve cared for a multitude of animals anywhere from dogs and cats all the way to snakes horses and chickens. I used to work at the local animal shelter and have experience administering oral medications in pill and syringe. I’m currently working part-time, typically in five hour shifts! When pet sitting I only have one errand to run besides work and that’s cleaning out a horses stall otherwise all my time is for your fur babies! I can take your fur babies for a walk or if you have a fenced in yard we can play fetch to help burn some energy on their potty breaks.

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. Thank you very much❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. I work in the evenings. So, I’m free every morning. I can take your pet out for walks or dog sit overnight. My schedule can be flexible I can take your pet out for walks or I can dog sit at night. If your pet needs a companion, I can do that also

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!

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: 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.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Muskegon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Muskegon on Rover is $16.65 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 566 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Muskegon. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Muskegon. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
