“Ashley was incredible. She took the job last minute in a time of need and went above and beyond. We loved getting all the photos of our happy fur babies! Would definitely recommend, and will be using her in the future.”
About: Expert in aquarium animals and cats because of my axolotls, cat and senior cat. I’ve taken a liking to dog care since I was 12 years old. I work Monday-thursday from 6-10, so my availability lies before 5:30 on those days with a little more flexibility on nights and weekends. For those that need help those specific times. I have basic knowledge about dogs: food, house, walks, and handling. Though I’ve never owned a dog you may want to communicate any special instructions to me beforehand.
“Holy Cow Maggie was the best with our cat and dog. She was friendly, on time for her visits, sent daily updates, followed directions and I had nothing to worry about. If she’s available, book her!”
About: Growing up my family always owned one or two golden retrievers at a time and instantly fell in love with the breed. I worked at a dog boarding/day care facility for about 3 years. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds along with all sorts of temperaments. With that came taking care of dogs of ALL ages. I’ve handled up to 15 large dogs at a time, also handling cats. Absolutely loved my job and hope to continue working with animals:) I work at a School in Grand Haven, Monday-Friday till around 4p.m. (Sometimes later) So, my evenings are open to walks & drop-ins. My weekends are still available for house sitting, drop-ins, and walks! In the summer there is lots more availability! I was lucky enough to grow up with a mom that did full time pet sitting at one point and got to tag along on all her trips. I also pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights, walks, and administering medications, eye drops, pills, ect. So, I know how important it is to be mindful of someone’s else’s home and their four-legged (sometimes three) loved ones.
“Autummn watched our cat for about a week. She was dutiful and loving with our baby. We got multiple pictures everyday and updates with details of our cat’s activities! Our cat has some dietary special needs and takes powder medication on her food. Autummn diligently followed her routine and made sure she was well taken care of in our absence! I would highly recommend her!”
“We went to New York this week and Phineas watched our 2 cats (and our house). He is very friendly, sweet, and was super great with Gus and Abby. Abby is normally shy and hides, but she warmed up to him right away. How wonderful it’s been to go on vacation, especially so far away, and to not have to worry about anything! Phineas will always be our go to when we go away. He’s amazing! 🤩 So grateful we found him! ❤️”
About: Pet lover. CPR and First Aide certified. Able to administer medications. Trusted outdoor adventure partner. Loves to take long walks. Supervised and safe adventures are my specialty! Retired nurse with an open schedule. I'm available 7 days a week if you need drop in care, dog walks, scheduled feeding or well checks. I have a dog friendly house. Our Bella is an older Berna doodle that's very friendly. We do not have a fenced in yard but I love taking walks.
About: I have had family dogs ever since I was born, and have been fully responsible for them as early as 15 years old. I have provided house-sitting and doggy daycare for numerous family friends, and have taken care of my mom’s 3 dogs - one of which is a Great Dane (huge) and a senior dog that needs help getting up and down stairs. I am available for dog walking in afternoons during the week, and certain weekends given my personal schedule. Depending on your home location, I can do drop-ins during my lunch hour to let them out / play with them! I am flexible so just reach out and ask! I currently have a senior beagle and live in an apartment. Therefore I am primarily focused on going to your home for dog walking needs!
“Taylor is amazing! She is sweet, friendly, trustworthy, and has wonderful energy. Our dog loved her and we will definitely book services with her again. She kept in contact via message and sent several photos at each visit. We are very happy with our experience!”
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: History: My family adopted two puppies when I was in high school and I trained them both. Although they remained in my mom’s care, I continued to pet sit them throughout their long 18-year and 15-year lives (so, I’m experienced with senior care!). As an adult I adopted two dogs from two different animal rescue organizations. My first dog, Odin, was rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. He was not trusting of humans, had significant health issues, and had become quite feral. Odin quickly became my soul dog. I worked very hard to gain his trust, give him proper training, give him proper medical care, and give him the best, most adventurous life I could. He passed away a couple of years ago as a happy, healthy, well-trained, and so loved pup. He continued to have health issues throughout his life because of how poorly he was treated earlier in life, so I am very experienced with dogs that have special treatment, diets, and/or needs. It is because of how well I was able to rehabilitate Odin that I was allowed to adopt my second dog, Brida (whom I still have!). Brida was also rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. With Odin’s help, and a lot of love and patience, Brida is now a well-trained, loving girl that has become my absolute best friend. She still carries trauma from things that happened prior to me adopting her, so she’s timid and is still not very trusting of adult men or reactive dogs. Children make her nervous, mostly because she hasn’t had much long term exposure with kids. Brida only ever interacts with other animals that I walk and/or take care of after owner consent and success meet-and-greets. Brida has been on longterm pet care stays with me with a couple of regular clients, but she also enjoys staying at my Mom’s house for sleepovers, if need be! Brida ADORES all the dogs in her life - ranging from gentle giants to squirmy, energetic puppies - and loves playing chase. She does not understand how to play with dogs toys, so she will never steal another dog’s toy or bone (unless she has watched them use it first, and she’ll practice when she thinks no one is watching her). Brida is OBSESSED with cats. She respects kitty boundaries, and would follow them around in fascination all day everyday if she could. Present: I have availability year round, and a lot more availability during the summers. My services range from walks, check-ins, overnight care, and more. We look forward to getting to know our pawsome community here in West Michigan better! 🐾 My typical availability includes afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My summer schedule allows me to offer all day availability or multiple time frames of availability per day, with occasional restrictions. My dog, Brida, is fed twice a day (morning/evening), gets let out 3x per day, goes on 1-2 walks per day, and has free range of our living space. Outside, she is typically on a leash or stationary lead. I do have experience taking care of crate-trained pets as well. When providing long term care, I typically request a personalized schedule to be provided so I can best ensure a regular routine for the pet.
“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
“What an amazing experience to be able to be gone for a long day and know that Millie was loved and well cared for by Lexi!! We definitely will set up more dates with her! Thank you so much!! 😊”
About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.
About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals particularly dogs. I don’t think there has been a point in my life I’ve lived without a dog or two. Now as an adult I’ve turned that passion into dog sitting and caring for others pets. It’s hard to find someone you trust and feel comfortable with as this is dog is part of your family. I would love to help with that. I’ve been a dog sitter for over 26 years now through word of mouth. I have personally owned many chihuahuas, huskies, shepherd mix and a coonhound. I specialize in providing care for older dogs who require special attention and a safe, comfortable environment. Additionally, I have extensive experience with dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, helping them feel secure through extra attention and dedicated time. While I am particularly familiar with smaller breeds, I have also cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my career. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care as their own, I would be delighted to help. I’m currently a stay at home mom with older kids in school (8,14,17 and away at college 19 years old). During the day it would be a quiet relaxed environment. I have a passion for dogs and love helping pet owners with any behavioral issues or support as I care for their pets. I’m able to make the dog comfortable and have enjoyed the bond I create with every dog I watch. My goal is to help those relax while gone knowing they don’t have to worry about the care of their pet. While I normally have one dog at a time, occasionally there may be days when boarding and doggy day care overlap or I may do both on a case by case basis but I will do my best to inform owners ahead of time and accommodate owners and pets accordingly. I first would want to know how you care for your dog in your home. From there I try to adjust how I watch him or her in my home so the pet is comfortable doing what they are use to. Communication is important so I can understand what the needs are and provide a safe environment.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Spring Lake is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spring Lake
Just fabulous. On our meet and greet, Barts (my cat) took to Maggie immediately. During her check-ins, I got timely updates and plenty of photos - playtime, open window time, snacks and cuddles. Excellent communication at all times. Maggie even helped me out by watering some plants, and took the initiative to take my trash can out to the curb for pickup even though I hadn’t mentioned it. Upon arriving home, I was greeted by a very happy cat even though I’m sure he will miss her. At least until the next time because I won’t hesitate to book Maggie again if she is available. 🙂❤️
Autumn was great! I was fortunate to be able to book her for daily drop ins for walks and potty breaks after my eye surgery. She was very responsive and communicated with me if she was even a few minutes late. Miss Frankie really enjoyed her daily visits. Would definitely book with her again.
Mackenzie did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She paid close attention to their individual needs, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and made me feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. It was clear my cats were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the level of care she provided. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter!

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 Spring Lake 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.

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.
