From the photos Cassandra sent, it seemed like my cat had a good time with her and I can tell she loves cats. I would definitely recommend Cassandra for your cat sitting needs:)”

About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my seven -year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home the majority of the time to care for your pet. I work from home three out of five days a week, and I am available on weekends. I am in the office two days per week, However, I drive home on my lunch hour to care for our new friends. I will provide your pet with a quiet, safe environment. If you are boarding your pet with me, I will ensure they receive care tailored to their unique needs and personality

About: I am a true lover of animals and have been caring for pets all my life! Besides small people, dogs and cats of all kinds, I have raised rabbits, birds, tropical fish, reptiles and even friendly rodents. I foster dogs and cats through the West Michigan Humane Society and have enjoyed reliably caring for pets of friends, family and neighbors and River members while they were away. I’ve have had success with: *Walking dogs and cats (yes, cats!) *Formal dog training *Redirecting reactive or anxious dogs *Exercising highly active pets *Caring for pets post-surgery (administering medication, giving injections, wrapping bandages) *Raising mischievous kittens *Senior care, and nurturing animals nearing end of life *Transporting animals safely in the car and maintaining a calm environment when needed *Training disagreeable animals to cohabitate, and even become friends! *Separating animals who need to stay apart for medical/behavioral reasons *Purchasing way too many dog toys *Flaunting very fancy treats (see headline) *Sending adorable video clips of your babes while you're regrettably apart I get pets!! I work with escape artists, grumpy pants, goof balls, wallflowers, snobs, wild ones, dopes, clowns and loafs. I understand that our animals are our best friends and beloved members of our families, and not just household props. It is a privilege to care for fur babies and you can trust me to take this responsibility seriously. I know the anxiety that comes with trusting a stranger to follow your instructions and care for your creatures responsibly while you are away. Thank you for allowing me to nurture your animals as you do, no matter their needs! I currently work as a teacher and I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can make myself available for boarding and pet care early in the morning, at the lunch hour and afternoons/evenings. I have a cat of my own who has access to a completely separate living area if your animals prefer their space! I keep a clean environment and live in an area surrounded by open land, so your pups have easy access to exercise and play. I have a lot of green space to walk your pets in and am good at keeping your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or invite them to roam freely in my home. Does your pet want to be cuddled? I’m in. Do they prefer their personal space? I get it. Do they require firm boundaries? Can do. Have unusual personalities? So does everyone. I communicate as much or little as you prefer while you are away and am happy to send photos of your pet while we’re together reflecting what you miss and love about them!

About: I have had animals lots of animals; from dogs and cats to gerbils and horses. I am a huge animal lover, and I currently have a very unique cat who I love very much. I know when I have a pet sitter, I want to check in and make sure he is being well taken care of and loved so I want to do the same for you and your pet! During the week, I work a full-time job, but work remote most days, so my schedule is flexible. On the weekends, I am completely free. I have experience with pets who need medications, pets who are trouble makers, and pets with unique needs. I will ensure your pet is in a safe and happy environment.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a young child. I have experience working at a doggy daycare/boarding facility as well as extensive experience working with animal welfare groups. I have 2 children who are in school all day and a husband who works from home. In the evening I am able to care for your pets also. I can currently come to your home to care for your pets. I find that pets tend to fare better with a pet sitter if they stay in their own home, a familiar place for them.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve had pets my whole life of all kinds and have watched many of my family and friends pets over the years! I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, plenty of affection, and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and comfort they deserve. My goal is to create a stress free experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable, compassionate care you can count on. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a DPT student at GVSU so outside of class I’m open all afternoons after 3 and Fridays as well as weekends to drop in and visit your pets! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, exercise, and any special requests to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of love and attention, playtime, and potty breaks or litter box cleaning as needed. For walks, I use secure leash handling and stay aware of our surroundings to help keep your dog safe while tailoring each walk to their age, energy level, and individual needs. I respect your home as if it were my own and will ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

About: I work in pet care currently as a supervisor, mostly with dogs and cats but I also interact with small rodents occasionally. In my work, I follow feeding schedules, make sure pets have access to water at all times, administer medications, track potty times, monitor the health of pets, read body language cues to safely engage with pets, and more. In and outside of work, I’ve taken care of pets of all ages (puppy/kitten to senior), pets who are hearing or vision impaired, have special diets, have skin conditions, and pets with varying behaviors and personalities. I’m very comfortable with every size and breed of dog. Currently I have two cats of my own & I live with my roommate’s dog and cat as well. My roommate is out of town often for work so I care for all four of our pets. I love getting to know the individual personalities of pets and tailoring my time with them to match that. I truly believe pets are family and I treat all of them with all my love and respect, every time. Currently I can offer drop in visits and walks - and I am a winter girl through and through so with the cold weather approaching, walks won’t be an issue! I’m happy to provide photo updates as requested and provide you with timestamps of when they go #1 or #2. During walks, I can also provide some light leash training if requested. I work full time, so I will be scheduling around that. My schedule is relatively set every week, except times that others take vacations. I’m generally working closing shifts so I’m free during mornings/early afternoons and late evenings if needed. I won’t be caring for pets in my own home at this time, so I will follow any instructions you have in your house. I keep an eye on dogs at all times when they’re outside, even in fenced in yards or on leads. For walks outside, I’ll use whatever leash/harness/collar you prefer and I sometimes also double leash for extra precaution.

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛

Morgen was absolutely amazing. Coincidentally, she lived extremely close to my son, which made the entire process incredibly easy. Morgen always submitted photos of my son two cats to assure us, they were happy and doing well, considering the one routinely loves to hide. Morgen was also extremely respectful of my son's Vision Impairment. She left the apartment very clean, yet did not unnecessarily move anything to avoid confusion upon my son's return. Morgen was very gracious in her flexibility as we had a family emergency and needed to adjust the schedule at the last moment. I would most certainly request her again and 100% recommend her to anyone needing a loving cat sitter.

Madison did an incredible job taking care of our cat while we were away. She even helped troubleshoot some issues we had with our RoboLitter 4 litter box. She went above and beyond, helping with a few tasks that came up unrelated to pets, while we were away. I highly recommend Madison. She also politely asked if she could bring her son which we happily said yes to. We wanted to socialize our cat more and he was incredibly sweet with our cat. They became best buddies right away!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Walker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Walker is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 1,630 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walker. 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 Walker. On Rover:

  • 89% 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.
