About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits
“Michelle continues to take wonderful care of our girls and they love the attention and care she gives. Thank you Michelle for the great updates and photos and taking care of our fur kids!”
About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾
“I had to be gone for 5 weeks on an externship and Shaira did a fantastic job looking after my pup! She’s very attentive and doesn’t hesitate to contact you with questions or updates.”
About: I grew up around all sorts of animals and loved to go above and beyond their care. From fish, to guinea pigs, tortoises, dogs and cats I love to spend time caring for all animals. From cozy homes for strays to insulin shots for my senior diabetic dog, I can do it all. No request is too silly to ensure the proper care and happiness of each unique individual. I currently work from home part time with my little one and would love to incorporate taking care of your pet family while you’re away, anytime of day. From litter box scooping to cage cleaning, I take the time to ensure your animals environment is exactly as they (and you!) would prefer. An animals environment is one the largest factors to ensuring their happiness and good health and one of the most important as a sitter.
About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life and they can be a big hassle. But it's always worth it in the end. I hope I can make it a little easier and reassuring for you! I live with only one cat at the moment, which is surprising I don't have more pets. But I do take care of my sister's 2 dogs sometimes. I kinda miss having more pets, but I can't get any at the moment, sadly. So I'm hoping this a good outlet for that. I hope to stop by and help your pet when I can, or give them a good walk. I always think that pets should get a good walk/run in at least once a day, especially if it's an energetic blue heeler or something. And I always enjoy a walk too. But if that's not their thing, I'm cool with chilling too and giving all the loving and pets.
About: I grew up with my own dogs and cat in the home amd have since helped dog sit for friends and family. I've done drop ins for feeding and bathrooms breaks as well. I use to work 12 hour shifts so I know the pressure to make sure your pet gets their needs met and the attention they deserve! I currently work full-time from home. Primary availability would be evening and weekends for drop-ins but could arrange something in the middle of the day if needed. My dog has full access to the house all day and while I am gone. She sleeps with me but I do understand that some pets prefer their safe space in a crate and would be happy to help accommodate that. My yard is fenced on 3 sides and am always out there with my dog to play or sniff. We go for daily walks and get lots of playtime.
“Rex was great with our dog Vinny this past weekend. We felt at ease leaving town for a day trip because of how reliable he is. We loved the updates he gave on Vinny for each drop in and look forward to booking him again in the future!”
“Kelli was amazing. She made sure my kitties were well taken care of with everything that they needed. She always sent consistent updates about her visits and went above and beyond to make sure my two cats felt loved in my absence. I highly recommend Kelli to anyone looking for an excellent petsitter.”
“I travel a lot for work and don’t always have a lot of notice of when I will be leaving…..I always call on Ashton to help me with my kitty. She is honest, a sweetheart, reliable, and my cat loves her. Thanks Ashton!”
“Shawnia was amazing! Always gave great photo updates and even walked up our snowy driveway to make sure our cats were taken care of when we got TONS of snow while out of town. 5/5 would recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! I have worked with dogs of all different sizes and breeds at a doggy day care, this includes having experience with puppies that needed training and senior dogs! I am currently working at a doggy daycare and am available on any weekday after 2 p.m. and any weekends at any time. My schedule is always flexible! I will always make sure your pet is cared for and loved! I will follow any direction/instructions you give me to ensure the safety of your furry best friend!
About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats around me my entire life and there’s nothing I love more than keeping my furry friends safe and happy 💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows pet care to be a regular part of my daily routine. I work part-time as a party princess, primarily on select weekends, and gigs are infrequent and scheduled ahead of time. Because of this, I’m able to commit fully to feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and quality time, ensuring pets receive dependable and focused care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean and respected. I also will provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and I house-sit/dog-sit as a part-time job, as well as work at two stables. I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my own pets, so I enjoy taking care of other people’s animals! I pet sit for another company and for clients I know personally, so my schedule is updated as accurately as possible on my page- most weeks I’ll be available Mon/Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun. I could possibly help with pets on Wednesdays and Fridays, but those are my scheduled work days. When my semester starts in September, I’ll be occupied Tues/Thurs. When I am chosen for whatever service you might need, I’ll be able to feed, let your dogs out, walk them/play with them, spend time with your cats, etc.! I’d like to know a day or two in advance, but I could possibly accept a same day booking. I take care of every animal like they’re my own; I’ve taken many dogs off the streets to find their owners. This is no different, your animal will be treated with respect and love while you’re away! I won’t be taking care of animals at my house (due to my own pets), but I would possibly be willing to do overnight stays at the client’s house if it’s a good fit.
“This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous, however Olivia made the process very easy. I met her the day before to talk with her since I had a brand new puppy and her potty manners are not the best. Olivia showed up at the planned times and she spent time outside with Mabel so she could play and hopefully go potty. She cleaned up the mess Mabel made in her cage, which I was super grateful for. I was relived to know Mabel was let out of her cage twice on a day I had to be out of town for work. I would recommend and use Olivia again.”
“Chrissy did a wonderful job when she stopped in to take care of Junie while I was out. She gave her all of her pills (which is not always easy) and food, and took her outside to potty. She also sent me pictures. Chrissy is dependable and very nurturing with my elderly dog Junie.”
About: I now have 2 large dogs and my sister has 2. I’m use to caring for and being around 5 large dogs. My 3 girls are my whole world. They love others pups and so do i. I would care for your pet like my own :) I have open availability as I work online and set my own schedule!! I can rearrange my schedule to accommodate.

Kelli took great care of our 2 boys while we were away for the night. She did an evening drop in to give both of our cats their daily medications and wet food. She was able to give all of the medications without issues and the boys got so much love!! We've already scheduled her again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 569 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Battle Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Battle Creek 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. 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.

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.
