About: My family members are all animal lovers! 🐕 🐈 🐓 🐇 🐐 🐴 We have a small hobby farm. On the property we have horses, goats, 2 cats, chickens, quail, rabbits, and a goose! We have one indoor dog and 8 outdoor sled dogs. With more than 20 years experience with dogs we have raised many puppies through potty training, and senior dogs with special needs. One of our first dogs just passed this year at 18 year old! Our oldest daughter, Isabel, has a grooming station set up, and has done well for herself in the community grooming many breeds of dogs. She raises huskies, and runs them on our trails in the fall and winter. **We can do some grooming during their stay. (Limited availability) Ask for information. Flexible availability, and pick up/drop off time. Preferably Mon-Saturday 7:30-8 and Sunday 2-7. Let me know if it’s close to those times, we can make it work. No pick up/drop off on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or Easter Day. Please arrange drop off or pick up before or after these days. We are willing to love your puppy/dog while you’re away short or long periods of time. We care for your animals in our home/and our temp. controlled attached garage. We keep cats and other animals separated from the dogs. We have a fenced-in back yard for dogs to play. We practice safety by having low dogs to handler ratios. We have Retriever kennels set up (we can make these bigger for larger dogs or more than 1 dog* price adjusts if you want to change size). We also have crate options available if your dog prefers. **note on prices : If your dog is not used to a crate or needs more special attention then I can arrange that. Price will be based on their needs. VIP will be $10 additional to start. If your dog is over 1 year, but is still high energy they will still be in the puppy rate. We have 50 wooded acres with trails for evening walks. 45 min *Walks are included in puppy and VIP rate. Regular rate will be additional $10/walk. An attached fenced-in dog play yard is available several times a day. Play yard includes: doggie pools (summer months), play fetch with chuck-it balls, big Tether TUG, Giant Doggie Sandbox, frisbee, and more. Indoor toys include: lick mats, puzzles, kongs, tug ropes, and more. (Lick mats, stuffed Kongs, and bully sticks are an add on. Please ask for price list) *For the safety of the other dogs, and us, we can't accommodate "people" aggressive dogs. If your dog is nervous with other dogs we can keep them separated. We have low ratio dog to handler and can also be one-on-one to make the dogs comfortable.
“Kelsey is great! She is a great communicator and took loads of pictures while she was dropping in on my dog, Rosie. Kelsey went above and beyond in making sure Rosie was taken care of and that her needs were met! I definitely recommend hiring her for any drop in visits you may need!”
“I’m so glad I can enjoy time away knowing Kiana is taking good care of our fur fam. I love seeing the updates and attention to detail. I’d recommend Kiana to anyone who is looking.”
About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend
“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”
About: Are you looking for someone to take your dog on walks while you’re away? I’m your girl! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have a lot of free time and would love to help take care of your dog. I’m currently working part time and a stay at home mom, so I’m able to pickup shifts easily to help take care of your pets! Please let me know if you’re looking for someone dependable and available! In the clients home, I care for pets the same way I’d care for them if they were my own- with love and attention. The owners knows best as well, so I love a detailed list of instructions when caring for a pet the first time.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was very young. I grew up as an animal lover and love all animals. I currently work for MonkeyShine Pet Resort, which is a dog boarding, grooming, and daycare facility. I have a lot of experience with fury friends. Friends and family have relied on me over the years to ensure their pets were let out, walked, and groomed. I’m currently working at Monkeyshine Boarding and Daycare for dogs. I will be attending online college but it does not interfere with my daily schedule. My work schedule is never consistent but I am always guaranteed a long break in between my shifts (2-3 hours). Then the entire night I have off. I live in an apartment complex with no fenced in yard but go to my parents very often whom have 20 acres of open field to run around in. I have an Australian Shepherd named moose, he can be shy but is not aggressive towards other animals

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newaygo
Nicholas and Caitlin are amazing!! They sent me lots of pictures of my kitty and went above and beyond to take care of her! They communicated very very well and were very knowledgeable on taking care of my kitty! They are amazing and trustworthy sitters and I will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you both!
Alyssa was available to let my dogs out super last minute on a night we had really bad weather. She spent extra time making sure my senior girl was comfortable in her diaper and sent me a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using rover for my own pets and it was a great experience. I will definitely use Alyssa again if she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newaygo is $10 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newaygo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Newaygo. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
