“Great communication! Our dogs loved her! Very respectful of our property! She even loved on our cats when they came to say hello as well! Would recommend over and over again! 10/10!”

About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I keep the doggie door shut unless an owner asks for me to use it. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, caring for four dogs and a cat, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, whether it’s for a walk, check-in, or overnight care. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am a 20 year old student at Hope college with plenty of free time. I am available all weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I have a friendly 6 year old dog at home with many toys beds and crates. i am experienced, as i’ve been pet sitting for the past two years and grew up with 5 pets.

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including giant breeds like English Mastiffs. I understand the unique needs of large dogs and am comfortable handling them with confidence, patience, and care. I also have experience providing compassionate care for senior dogs, including those who require a slower pace, extra attention, medication support, and plenty of comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I know how important consistency is, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, maintain established routines, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and provide them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My career is a hybrid position. I am rarely gone more than six hours at a time. If I know that I am going to have your furry, four legged baby, I can schedule accordingly so I can be home a little more. I have a very large yard. We live on 3 acres. Our fur babies passed in December and January, so we do not currently have any pets. I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed, but if that is not something that you do and you would like me not to do that I can respect that as well.
About: I grew up with dogs as pets my whole life as well as babysat friends pets. I also have my own dog now as well who is a golden doodle I currently work full-time but from home and don’t have many meetings so my schedule is flexible! I’m able to come and go throughout the day as needed I love animals and love to either take them for walks, play in the yard or at the park. Or even just in the comfort of their home!
“Charity did an awesome job watching Sophie! She was always on time and provided us with detailed updates. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her. Charity made us feel very confident Sophie was in good hands while we were out of town!”

About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals! If you have pets other than cats or dogs, please let me know if they need any additional care. I grew up caring for birds, lizards, turtles, fish, and dogs, and I have also cared for bunnies and guinea pigs for friends while they were on vacation. I have plenty of experience dog sitting, letting pets out, playing with them, and taking dogs on walks. I’m comfortable caring for most animals (with the exception of spiders and snakes), and I’m happy to work with you to understand exactly what your pet needs. If you have a very energetic dog, I love going on long hikes during the summer and would be happy to bring your dog along for an adventure at a park. Please let me know how your dog does around other dogs so I can make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience. If your dog simply needs someone to let them out, play with them, or give them some extra attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I’m also happy to stop in and feed, check on, or play with other pets in your home. I’m very passionate about animals and love being able to help people by making sure their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away! I work full-time in Holland, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. My schedule is fairly flexible when I have advance notice, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. For stays or visits arranged ahead of time, I can provide dog walks and pet care before work in the morning and after work in the evening. I’m also happy to discuss additional visits or care needs depending on the schedule and length of the booking. I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, fish, and more. Whether your pets have a simple routine or need a little extra attention, I’m happy to follow their normal care schedule and make sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, needs, and personality. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can keep them comfortable and maintain their normal schedule while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication if needed, litter or cage cleaning, and general care based on your instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. With advance notice, I can often accommodate schedules that require visits before and after my normal work hours.
About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.
About: I understand your pet is important to you. I will treat your pet as my own, offering engagement, play time, enrichment activities and a peace of mind. I train my own dog for obedience competitions, and I know he is happy when his tail wags. I have learned how to read a dogs behavior and go out of my way to ensure they are living their best life. Each dog that books a service will receive a complimentary gift bag of treats! Someone is home all day. I work near my home, I have flexibility allowing me to come home when needed. Your pup will have a plenty of toys and puzzles to stay busy. I have a kennel area for potty (so it's not all over the yard). Dogs are let out on a long line (33ft) as we wait for our fence to be put up. We are very intentional about how we care for dogs and we have found, dogs don't mind the long line since they still get to run their tails off! There are young children who are excited about dogs who love meeting new dogs. The children in my home are familiar with my standards of pet care, and know what it means to respect a dog. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs who are dog neutral. My youngest dog is being trained for competitive obedience, one who recently retired and one who retired 2 years ago and works as a therapy dog as well as demonstration dog. He helps many dogs overcome their obstacles to becoming the well mannered pet many families crave. He is a gentle giant, I've learned much from him. He is always happy to see another dog, and understands respectful greetings, he is mild mannered and loves to play when released to do so. I am a runner, so if you are interested in a daily run for your pet during their stay, please notify me of this. My life is built around caring for pets. This was done intentionally and I am grateful for the opportunity to have your dog in my care. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. They are care for as my own. Each dog will be sent home with a treat bag made from single ingredient treats that we make.

About: I have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.
“My cats were well taken care of, and the whole transaction was easy from one end to the other. I returned to find 2 happy felines, everything cleaned up, and my mail on the dining room table!”
About: Hi! My name is Olivia. I started dog walking at my university in California to get my “pet-fix,” only to realize how much I love caring for other people’s pets! I seriously love all animals, from geckos to cats to dogs, and I would be happy to care for your friendly family members. I have been a pet caretaker for 20+ years personally and professionally. I am a certified foster parent for Best Friends of Los Angeles, a certified foster parent for Midcoast Humane Society, and I have also spent two summers as a volunteer dog Walker for the Animal Humane Society. I most recently fostered a pregnant mama cat who gave birth to SEVEN kittens. I am happy to encourage any training techniques that you have been practicing as well reinforce (the much more necessary) attention and cuddles. I am also happy to arrange bathes, training strategies, or different medications per your necessity. I am a medical student, but since a lot of my lectures are online, my schedule is usually flexible. I am usually home and studying but overall, I am an active person who likes getting outside for walks and runs. I love having animals be part of that daily routine. If your pet likes hikes I would love to do that too with them :). I am respectful, tidy, and organized. If you have any plants that need care while you’re away, just let me know. I’ve done overnight stays and drop in visits in the past, so I’m happy to be flexible depending on what works best for you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
