About: I’ve been a shelter volunteer for 5 years, working closely with the dogs most people struggle with the reactive ones, the jumpy ones, the bitey ones, the over-stimulated ones, and the dogs that need real structure and patience to thrive I’m used to reading body language fast and staying calm no matter what’s in front of me. Whether it’s leash pulling, overexcitement, reactivity, or lack of focus. Maybe your dog just needs more work on learning commands and learning obedience I can do that to! let me know what I can do to best help you and your dog I would love to help Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. I have 8 birds at home and On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter 2–4 days a week, where I work hands on with a wide range of dogs especially high energy dogs and dogs that need extra structure and patience. That experience keeps me consistently involved in reading behavior, handling different temperaments, and staying calm in all situations. When I’m not at the shelter, I plan my schedule around Rover bookings like walks, drop-ins, and training. I make sure each visit has enough time and attention When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine that you provide so the pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment
“Great house and dog sitter! Banjo seemed comfortable and happy under Brianna's care! Brianna was super responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos. She left the house super clean!”
About: Hey there! I’m Hannah - animal lover, and your pet’s next best friend. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe life is better with fur and paws! I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and even looked after dogs who are blind or deaf — every animal is unique, and I love them all. Right now, I have two cats who keep me on my toes (and my lap), and I’ve had dogs of all sizes and personalities over the years. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or belly rubs on repeat, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a recent college graduate & I own my own business so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for most holidays also, if not they will be blocked out! Creating a safe and fun environment while pet sitting is very important to me. I love being able to provide play time for cats or dogs while I am watching them. As well as cuddle time if they’re one that likes to curl up in your lap.
“We’ve used Rylie twice now and she’s done a fantastic job. Our pup seems to have really taken to her. We also accidentally booked 1 night short of our return date and she was happy to adjust plans and stay an extra night!”
About: Hi! I’m Brooke, a college student studying Elementary Education at UM-Dearborn and a lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I previously worked in a dog care setting where I gained hands-on experience supervising, feeding, exercising, and caring for multiple dogs. I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am currently a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the school year and full availability during the summer months. During the summer, I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and always ensure they are safe and secure during walks and visits. I communicate regularly with pet parents and am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I will treat your pet with the same care and love that I give my own dog.
“Elana did a great job taking care of my pups . 3 dogs 3 personalities and she did great with all of them . I’d highly recommend Elana to take care of your pets !”
“Thanks so much again Lissa. Our three girls looked well taken care of. They can be a lot of work, but you are a pro. Your communication is fantastic. Loved getting the videos while we were away.”
About: I have lived with dogs almost all my life. I have worked with dogs of varying breeds and personalities. No matter what your pup needs, I can meet them where they are and help them have fun and maybe learn a thing or two along the way. As I am currently between jobs, my schedule is quite flexible. If you are interested in a service, feel free to let me know. I also work weekends and holidays. I will treat your pup like one of my own, with attention and love. I can guarantee dogs safety, comfort, and fun. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
“Nicole went above and beyond during the process of home boarding my dogs. I had 10000% trust in her before even watching my dogs. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will absolutely use her services in the future”
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!
“Ash was great, the dogs loved her and were well taken care of. 2 of the 3 receive meds and she was more than willing to accommodate their needs! She left our home looking just as good as we left it and cleaned up after herself and the dogs! We highly recommend Ash to anyone needing a sitter! We will for sure be a repeat customer!”
“Denise was AMAZING! She was so patient with my shy senior Nikita. The two of them bonded much quicker than I had anticipated and it made me so happy to know that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Denise again as she’s become a member of Nikita’s circle! Thank you big time Denise - you are truly incredible.”
“Mary was excellent! She was quick to respond and the meet and greet went well and she was very patient with our dog. She provided regular updates and we had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended!”

My family absolutely ADORES Lauri! She is such a great person. We were gone a week and Lauri took such great care of our sweet boy King. (German Shepherd) We felt so confident leaving King with her. King loves her so much we will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend her!! Hands down THE BEST animal sitter around!
We reached out to Abby with a last minute request because our previous sitter fell through. We couldn’t have been happier! From the meet and greet, our dogs loved her. Abby reached out regularly with updates, great communication and took care of the house. I would recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Brownstown Township 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 Brownstown Township 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 Brownstown Township 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
