About: As a long time pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your animals. I treat every pet in my care the same way I’d want mine to be treated—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, love, and attention! During visits, I can also help with feeding, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Also, have experience with Seniors.
About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 12, 15 and 17 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. My 17 year old son is responsible, loves pets and enjoys to help out by doing drop in visits to earn some extra money. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!

About: I live in Troy and have raised a dog and two cats from the time they were babies. I’m used to daily feeding, litter, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to a pet’s normal routine. I’m reliable, on time, and I’ll send photos and a quick update after each visit so you know how they’re doing. I’m comfortable with shy pets and can follow medication or special-care instructions if you walk me through them first. Happy to do a meet & greet before any booking. My girlfriend is always free to help. Her name is Elena and takes great care of your animals. She is super caring and wants the best for the fur babies. I will make sure they are fed, they use the bathroom, and are happy and enjoying there time with me. I only want the best for them

I am an active person, so if your dogs need alot of exercise, I can be your go to caregiver for that. I have a 850 square foot non-smoking apartment that is peaceful and quiet. Has access to a large outdoor courtyard and 3-4 nearby parks I can walk your dogs to get ample exercise and playtime.
“Taylor was a great sitter! She was very responsive even when I first messaged her, and my cat loved her as soon as she walked in my apartment. Also, Taylor was very flexible with my changing travel plans.”
About: I’ve watched my friends and families pets for since I was 15. I’ve also had animals all my life. That includes giving them baths, feeding them, walking, taking them to a dog park, anything and everything. I’m very determined to take care of such lovely animals and to keep them safe. I’m currently working part time, I’ll be going to school soon but I’m staying local so I’m still available. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to work around anything. I’ve got a fenced yard, two dogs and two cats. We keep them separated mainly for the dogs sake. They are still in training but will do nobody any harm.
About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions and being able to work with them is a dream come true. I personally have owned and taken care of dogs, tropical and freshwater fish, small pets, and cats. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and have experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting locally. I’m currently enrolled in evening cosmetology classes 5-10pm Mon-Thurs and work Saturday mornings 8-3. Otherwise I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys spending time with my pets and outside. I have a couple of my own pets so I’d rather not keep other pets at my place for extended periods of time (unless they’re fully up to date on vaccines, shots, and behavioral training), but I’m happy to assist in anyway I can at your house. I can do basic cleaning and of course pet care such as walking, watering, feeding, taking outside, playing, etc.. I can lock the house and leave the key in a predetermined location if needed. I’m happy to follow any house rules, special instructions, and anything extra needed for the pets, including medications or continuing ongoing training.
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.
About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
“Megan was wonderful with my kitties! Pastrami and Blackjack could not have been in better hands! She even put up with vomit and poop outside the box!! I will definitely be using Megan again on any of my future trips!”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 10 years! I’ve taken care of my 3 poodles for the past 10 years and recently became a new cat mom! I’ve also boarded pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding and potty routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am fully available to fit caring for pets anywhere in my schedule! I will do my best to be flexible and accommodating! I can work all hours of the day! I have 2 cats of my own who are provided with all of their necessities and most importantly an environment where they can be free to explore safely and play constantly! I care for my cats like they are my children! And I will do the same for yours.

Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!
Alex and Zach are awesome, they are incredibly responsive and attentive to all correspondence, take amazing care of feeding and caring for my cats, and make sure they take pictures of my cats for each visit. I super appreciate this as it gives me peace of mind seeing my pets while I'm away, and I know they are in good hands. Thank you Alex and Zach!

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
