“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”

“Cierra did a wonderful job house sitting and watching our anxious dog! She sent us updates with photos and our girl was happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely want to book with her again in the future!”

“Christine was so great with Lenny! He was immediately comfortable with her, she was immediately comfortable with him - and he immediately listened to and followed her lead. Her considerable experience (with all kinds of animals and particularly dogs in this case) was very apparent. She was attentive, meticulous, and provided many updates throughout the long weekend we were away. Lenny seemed sad when he realized she wasn't coming back the night we returned.🙂 We would absolutely hope to book with her again.”

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.
About: Hello! I love dogs! I’ve had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years. Since my most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for me to watch peoples dogs. I’ve volunteered at the Huron Valley Humane Society. Completed dog walking training, blue dot training and problem dog not allowed out with the general public yet training. If you want your dog not only watched but showered with love, I’m a great choice. I work from home, so have great flexibility. Having a schedule that fits your dogs shouldn’t be a problem. Hope you find what you are looking for. Your dog will be showered with love. Happy to have them sleep in the same bed if they are allowed. I love making dogs feel special.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.
“Maggie was so awesome! We had her help out with our wedding as the dogs were in it and she was punctual, followed all instructions, and managed our two dogs outside over six hours. The dogs loved her and everything went perfect! Thank you Maggie!”

About: Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise. Walk/potty break 7AM Breakfast by 7:30 AM Lunch: if there is a lunch time it’ll be by 2:30 PM Dinner: by 6PM Playtime: all the time in between Animals will stay leashed any time we are outside unless we are in the dog park and owner says it’s okay to unleash. I also am an active jogger so I can keep up with younger and old dogs. I’m a chill sitter that vibes off the dogs energy.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a licensed pharmacist combined with my genuine passion for caring for dogs. My professional experience has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to follow precise care instructions, which is especially important for pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and following specific routines provided by pet parents. I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I focus on consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement to support basic training, leash manners, and house routines. For senior dogs, I prioritize comfort, gentle exercise, and close attention to mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. Whether your dog needs active playtime or calm companionship, I adapt to their individual needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work part-time as a pharmacist, which gives me a flexible and structured schedule. My pharmacy shifts are planned in advance, allowing me to reliably set aside dedicated time for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits on my off days and around my work hours. Because my schedule is organized and consistent, I’m able to give pets my full attention when I’m with them rather than rushing between commitments. I enjoy starting or ending my day with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins, and I’m comfortable adjusting my availability to meet each pet’s needs when possible. This balance allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining a professional work life as a pharmacist. I would like to eventually grow this into a full time commitment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any special care directions. I treat every home with respect and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are handled responsibly to prevent any accidents or escapes. I work part-time, which allows me to be organized and dependable with my scheduling so pets receive focused, unhurried attention during each visit. At home, I also have a family of three teenage daughters who love animals, which helps reinforce a calm, pet-friendly mindset in my daily life. While I remain the primary caregiver during any pet sitting, our household’s appreciation for animals reflects the caring and responsible environment I bring to every visit. I always aim to build trust with both pets and their owners by being consistent, patient, and attentive, so pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away.
“Jaime is a great communicator. She sent several pictures and texts throughout her stay with our standard poodle, Bennet. When we got home Bennet was perfectly at ease and our home was just as we left it. We will definitely use Jaime again to watch Bennet.”

About: Hello pet parents! I am originally from Connecticut and did my undergrad in Philly. Prior to moving to Ann Arbor I lived in Portland, OR for a few years where I got my start on Rover (2020-2023) though I have been caring for dogs & cats professionally since I was in high school. I spent the last two years in NYC where sadly I had to take a break from Rover, so i'm very excited to be back in a house with a yard so I can resume this important part of my life. As you can see by the photos on my profile, being around dogs is when I'm the happiest. My dog-sitter MO is similar to my personal lifestyle which is to be active and doing things outdoors as much as possible. I also understand that, like humans, every dog has a personality of their own and I value the importance of catering to this, especially being a new and unfamiliar face for them. I work from home during this time so it’s quite easy for me to juggle the responsibility, even for the needier ones. Outside of work hours I like to get outside for a walk or hike. I have a truck, so its also easy for me to take the dogs with me on a woodsy adventure or to the dog park. I am excited for the opportunity to meet your dog(s) and can't wait to talk more about exactly what you're looking for! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, I am always happy to share more about myself or my experience. I’ve spent almost all of my life having a dog around and caring for them in one way or another. I currently do not have any pets of my own due to moving around too much and frankly I like to use this app to fill that void when I can, not so much for the money :)
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was ten, I even have 5 of my own, so I'm experienced in behaviors, grooming, and administering medications if they're needed. I can do overnight stays and check ins during the day. I can do fill day stay overs, but will need a few days notice to make it work. Im very big on slow introductions and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable around me. My own dog and cats are rescues so I know how nervous new introductions and new people can make animals.
“Megan is wonderful. She watched our dog and house for a long weekend. She is very clean and kept us up to date throughout our vacation. We will definitely be using Megan again if the need arises. Thanks so much!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“Josie was so great with our dogs! She came over beforehand to meet them so I could show her where everything was. She sent me updates throughout the weekend and was great to communicate with. Will definitely be keeping in touch!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Azalia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Azalia 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 Azalia 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.
Tip: 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 Azalia 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
