“Melissa was absolutely amazing, this is the first time that I have ever left my little guy home with a sitter and she was absolutely amazing with him. She followed directions to a tee when it came to his meds and getting to know him I already have her booked for next Saturday. My little guy is my life and my heart and she took care of him like I would, she asked questions and she did absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Melissa for anybody who has fear, anxiety or stress over leaving their pets. Melissa gets five stars for me because she is a pet star in my book.”
“Another awesome experience with Mckenzie! Not only did she hang out with my pets for a few hours while we were busy, but she went above and beyond scooping the litter box and making sure everyone was happy before she left. So grateful to her for taking such great care of my fur babies and always sending me updates. Thankful to have such a great pet sitter.”

“Elizabeth was a wonderful dog sitter! I actually reached out to her last minute after another sitter fell through, and she was so kind and accommodating. She was very attentive to my dogs, communicated well, and kept me feeling reassured that they were in good hands while I was away. I felt completely comfortable having her care for them and would definitely book with her again!”
“She stayed at our home with our dog for the week. They took her to the park,lake and to get pup cups. She sent daily updates. They watered my plants and got my mail. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve always had many pets growing up especially guinea pigs, dogs, bunnies and cats! I’m a huge pet lover and get along with all types of animals. I’ve volunteered at pet clinics and I’ve walked pretty much all kinds of dogs of all ages from a week old pups to senior since I volunteer at pet shelters as well! You can trust me to be the best pet caretaker!🐾 💗 Since my family has a Golden retriever, a few guinea pigs and cats, i’m always used to taking care of animals. I’m available most days all day since i’m doing school online! I can go on nice long walks and take care of your animal however you request! 🌸💗 I care for my pets everyday and give them all the love and attention in the world! I definitely would prefer taking care of your pet(s) in your home since I live with other family members who already have cats, bunnies, and a pup.
About: I have been working with people's furry family members on and off for about 10 years now. Aside from working in doggy daycare and boarding, I've cared for animals of friends and family throughout my life. Keeping animals well taken care of and well enriched is my specialty. I am also a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College. I'll be available for sitting on weekends and eventually full-time! Walks and training sessions can always be incorporated into my week. Please reach out so we can make your schedule work! I have pet sat and worked in boarding/daycare facilities for years. There is almost no situation I couldn't accommodate. Whether it be special preferences you might have for your furry buddy or necessities like administering important medication, there is almost no situation I wouldn't be happy to oblige when taking care of your pet.
“Dominic is amazing! He stayed with our pups over Christmas while we were away visiting family. He’s super responsive and communicative and took great care of them and our home! We’ll be booking with him again!”
“Carolyn was very attentive to my dogs specific needs. It was our first trip longer than a week and he was well taken care of while we were away. She was very responsive and sent many updates which were appreciated I would absolutely use her again.”
“We are SO GLAD that we met Molly. She instantly bonded with our two dogs. We hired her to stay with them while we were out of town recently. Everything went really well. It was such a relief not having to worry about our pups. We will be hiring her again for our next trip and we highly recommend her.”
“Ella took excellent care of our fur baby and our home. She kept us updated and sent pics. We came home to a very content pet. I would highly recommend Ella and would definitely have her stay again.”
“Khelsi came and stayed with my baby while I went out of town for a long weekend. She was amazing at keeping me updated. Highly recommend Khelsi to care for your fur babies.”
“Jordan was absolutely excellent with our pups. Flo, our older pup, can be a bit picky in who interacts with her but Jordan won her over. Flo is only 50lbs (ha!) but became Jordan’s lap dog. Flo can also pick on our smaller dog Hank but Jordan was able to take charge and keep things peaceful! Jordan is great at keeping us updated on the dogs and sends the best pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy, not stressed dogs!!”
“Peyton watched our 3 Bassett hounds for us at our campground while we were vacationing in Ponchatoula. She was so patient with them. Our Dixie who is a real handful warmed up to her right away. I'm thankful for Peyton I couldn't stand the thought of them being in a kennel. Will definitely recommend to anyone”
“Sophie did an awesome job. She was very thoughtful of our requests and took wonderful care of our pups. Best of all she provided us many photos so we never really felt far from the dogs.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Almont walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Almont maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Almont choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
