“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”
About: I have experience caring for neighbors dogs and love to be around them. I take pride in always being willing to expand my knowledge about breeds, different care methods, and always improving. I’m currently working part time as well as attending college so my schedule can be a little hectic, however I pride myself on managing my time effectively. I prefer as many care details as you’re willing to give, and I will probably take notes as well. I like to take walks to stay healthy so your pet will have plenty of time outside. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality and quirks is half the fun for me!
“Judy was amazing! She took such great care of our Australian Shepherd during her check-ins. The whole process was smooth, convenient, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’d recommend her again and again!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job. She was friendly and professional and communicated very well, to include lots of pictures of the dogs throughout the day. We were glad to have her watch our dogs!”
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: 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!
“Michael helped us out with visiting our pup while we were out of town. We are very happy with how he cared for her and how well he communicated with us throughout the entire process from initial contact through Rover to his visits to our home.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes some my own and others being friends and family! I’ve always been a great trainer, player and mentor for animals! I’ve worked with lots of puppies and older dogs as well! If you have tasks you would like me to complete training or healthy routines I am fully capable and committed to help! I love to help in all ways I can with pet care! While most of my friends and family rely on me to care for their animals while they are away! I’d love to do the same for others with all services available! I am available everyday m-f in the afternoon from 1pm - 12! Weekends are always free! I do not have an issue doing early morning visits as well! I am always very loving and caring and supportive of routines for all furry friends! I take pride in keeping things tidy and taking the greatest care for the pets I watch! Offering lots of attention, love and detailed tasks! I simply enjoy being able to show love and affection as well as respect and good values to others homes and pets!
“Best sitter I have used on Rover to date! You cannot go wrong booking with Allyson. She was communicative, thorough, and went above and beyond to make my pup feel comfortable while I was away. I will always book with her in the future! She provided plenty of pictures and was truly invested in taking care of my dog. Thank you so much Allyson! 🐶 Nico missed you!”
About: I have an older pup with health issues so i understand the need to have the times and certain circumstances prioritized! For kitties i understand it’s hard for them to warm up and i am very patient and want them to feel comfortable regardless of where they are! I work 12am-12:30pm saturday through monday so during the week i have some down time and what better way to fill it than watch some cuties! For Dogs: I take the pups out on leashes but if you have a fenced yard i can obviously watch them and play with them outside that way! With owner permission i can take them to the dog parks and get more energy out that way! i do not mind dogs getting dirty and then getting in my car. For Cats: I can bring some toys, cat nip, and treats if allowed! I want them to feel comfortable in either their own environment with me there or in my home. Change can be a lot of them but i want all kitties to feel welcomed and calm with me!
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
About: Hi, I’m Arantza! 🐾 I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give to my two cats and my little dog. I know pets are more than just animals—they’re family and loyal companions who bring us joy every day. With me, your furry friends will be safe, happy, and surrounded by lots of affection. I have free time to help you so that your pet is not alone while you work or study, happy to help. I am currently studying Illustration at KVCC I care for my pets by making sure they have everything they need to feel safe, healthy, and happy. 🐾 I keep them on a regular feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and give them plenty of playtime and exercise. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs—whether they want cuddles, quiet time, or a walk outside.
“Misael took wonderful care of my pets while I was out of town. He was great at sending photos and quickly responded to any questions. I will definitely have him pet sit again.”
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Muskegon is $20
Pet 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!
We can’t say enough great things about Lindsey! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our fur babies. She checked in every day, made sure they had fresh food and water, cleaned the litter box, and even stayed longer than needed just to give them extra love and company. She kept everything tidy, sent updates daily with pictures, and even surprised them with toys and a cozy new bed! It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our cats absolutely adored her. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such caring hands. We’re so grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets as if they’re her own 🐾😻
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 581 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

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.
