About: I am kind, compassionate, loving dog-owner seeking to take care of dogs on the weekends whether its just a walk or boarding in my home. I have a very sweet 60lb border collie/beagle mix named Bella who is 8 years old and full of playful energy. She currency has separation anxiety that I am currently treating in home and with a professional. I rarely leave her so I am always home on the weekends and can offer your dog a lot of attention and play time. I am extremely patient and exude a positive energy allowing dogs to feel very comfortable. Regular walks and positive reinforcement are all inclusive! If your dog also suffered from separation anxiety, this is a great option for them. I have a full-time job during the week but weekend boarding and walks are always available,

About: I treat my dogs like my kids. I give them plenty of love and attention and would do the same with yours. Dogs are called man's best friend for a reason, so why not treat them the way that we would treat our best friend. They deserve to be spoiled and pampered. I walk my dogs every morning, noon, after work and bedtime daily in order to keep up their health and well being so that they will be here for a long time. Dogs are so compassionate and understanding. I feel like they truly can tell when something is wrong and they try to comfort you in any way they know how, if only then knew that just by sitting with us they are helping to provide the comfort needed.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of animals my entire life and I hope to continue! I have my own border collie who’s just about 10 months old and I’ve trained her since she was a puppy! I’m currently working full-time but can freely help during all weekends. Me and my own pup have a set schedule that we follow through to have her meals and exercise! I have a border collie who loves to run about. I enjoy playing and giving her all the exercise she needs and can do the same for other furry friends!

Hanna was the best! She was so attentive to all their needs and waited to come around the rain so it was easier for the dogs. She communicated quickly and often. The pictures were plenty and also so adorable. I don’t trust many people and I feel very comfortable with Hanna now. Will absolutely be using her again!

Melissa was completely wonderful! She stopped by the day before and did a meet and greet, played with my dog and learned the routines. I could tell she was caring and responsible and a huge dog lover. The evening she stopped by she fed him and played frisbee and took him for a walk. Perfect! I’ll be calling her again!

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner myself. I understand the daily care, patience, and love that pets need because I live it every day with my own pup. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, puppies who are still learning, and senior dogs that require a little extra attention and gentle care. I know how important structure and consistency are, so I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, training reinforcement, or giving meds, I treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a startup founder, I have the freedom to set my own meeting times, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. In my care, pets get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I can also help reinforce training, stick to feeding routines, and keep them active and happy while you’re away.

About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals and grew up on my families small hobby farm. Now as an adult I have my own pups and a cat. I love spending time with my own pups and cat. I currently work until 3 pm each day, Monday - Friday. I can walk or care for your furry friend after work or most weekends. My cat is free range - in and out of the house. My dogs are kenneled while I am away from the house. I would prefer any dogs staying at my home are also kenneled while I am away. I have a fenced in backyard. Our pets are a part of the family meaning that they are allowed on couches and any area of the home.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.

About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a professional canine trainer, behaviorist, groomer, and full-time caretaker with 12 years of hands-on experience. I’m certified in dog behavior, temperament, body language, and care—so I understand what dogs need to feel safe, confident, and happy. I create enriching, balanced environments where every dog can thrive. From playful activities to structured downtime and personalized attention for pups with unique needs, I tailor each day to your dog’s individual personality. With me, your furry family member is treated like my own—showered with love, positive guidance, and plenty of tail-wagging fun! I give every dog my full attention, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Most days, you’ll find us outside soaking up the fresh air—running, playing, and exploring together. And if you ever wonder where I am, I’m probably out back with the pack having a blast. When winter hits, we move the fun into our heated, pup-friendly garage. It’s set up just for them, with turf or rubber mats for comfort and tons of toys to keep tails wagging. No matter the weather, your dog will always have a cozy, engaging, and joyful space to call their home-away-from-home. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Our fully fenced-in backyard is designed with your dog’s comfort and enjoyment in mind, featuring pools, toys, water bowls, and all the essentials for a fun and enriching experience. Each dog is fed separately to maintain a peaceful and individualized routine. For dogs who prefer more privacy, we provide private rooms to ensure they have a quiet space away from the other dogs when needed. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment for every dog in our care.

Trisch was great! She’s let out my dog Poppy several times while I was at work. She was really responsive and communicative. And my dog Poppy loved her mid-day walk with Trisch. We’ll definitely use her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Haven on Rover is $21.8 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 470 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Haven. 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 South Haven 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
