About

Meet the owner

I’m Jason Olson, owner of Rug Rover Carpet Cleaning & Property Services. I have been a part of the family business since 1984. I began working alongside our crew from a young age and helped manage operations starting in 1997. In 2014, my father and U.S. Marine veteran Jerry retired, and my brother Josh took over Rug Rover, expanding our offerings to include other property services. He also increased our service area to include all of West Michigan and Middle Tennessee. While Josh managed Rug Rover, I became a police officer. In 2024, Josh asked me to step back in and takeover Rug Rover after a cancer diagnosis, ensuring we’d continue to be family-owned and community-oriented. Our team has years of industry experience, allowing me to provide the highest quality cleaning services and customer service to our clients.

Rug Rover was founded in 1984 by Jerry Olson, a U.S. Marine and war veteran who wanted to start a family business with a very simple focus: keeping your space clean simply and affordably. The company focused on carpet cleaning in commercial and residential spaces with a motto of being, “quick, clean, and efficient.”

All three of Jerry’s sons— Jason, Josh, and Justin— worked in the business for a time, cleaning and providing property maintenance for clients across West Michigan. In 2014 when he retired, Josh Olson took over the business, expanding its footprint into Tennessee and honing in on offering a complete property service experience— from carpet cleaning to apartment installations and repairs to emergency remediation. Rug Rover became a property manager’s one-stop-shop for all rental needs, assuring properties could get turned quickly and efficiently to make way for new tenants. This was most imperative in 2020 when dedicated maintenance workers at complexes were more difficult to retain. By offering affordable and reliable services, Josh helped ensure properties could keep being rented, regardless of the condition they were left in by previous tenants.

In 2024, Josh was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and Jason took over day-to-day operations. Justin also works for Rug Rover as operations manager. Together these brothers ensured the company continued and remained focus on its values of service and community.

Whatever you need, Rug Rover is there for you. While the company is based in Michigan and Tennessee, Rug Rover can send crews to locations across the U.S. to help ensure your properties are clean, safe, and ready to rent. We also offer residential services, such as carpet and upholstery cleaning, dryer vent and air duct cleaning, gutter cleaning and repair, and more. If your property needs a makeover, send Rug Rover right over.
