“Peri’s extensive knowledge of dogs, training and puppies gave my husband and I tons of relief to get out of the house for a friends birthday evening. She was super communicative, lovely to work with and punctual. 10/10 recommend!”
“Jaida provided excellent care for my cats on two occasions. I appreciated her sending me updates and photos after each visit. She followed the routine and care instructions well and the cats seemed relaxed when I returned. I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend Jaida. Thanks again!”
“Jamie and Danae were terrific caretakers for our "zoo" of animals including both fowl and feline. I would rebook them again! In addition the communication from them was regular, caring, and detailed. Five stars.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a huge animal lover who believes pets aren’t just pets — they’re family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry loved ones, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience caring for senior pets and administering medications. I understand that older animals and pets with special medical needs often require extra patience, attention, and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable following medication schedules, maintaining established routines, and providing the additional care and reassurance they need to feel their best. I know every animal has their own unique personality, preferences, and little quirks. Whether you have an energetic puppy, an independent cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. You can expect reliable communication, plenty of love, and regular updates (including adorable pictures!) so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and the kind of care I’d want for my own animals. 🐶🐱❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have daily availability Tuesday - Friday each week. I can do in home sitting or drop ins on these days. I’m always looking to develop long term clients and helping out in a pinch! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines in the comfort of their own home. My goal is to provide loving, reliable, and personalized care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet receives everything they need, including fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, medication administration if required, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also take the time to check on their overall well-being and ensure they’re happy and comfortable before leaving. For in-home pet sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s daily routine as consistent as possible. From feeding schedules and medications to playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. With 15 years of experience caring for cats, from energetic kittens to seniors requiring extra patience and attention, I understand that every pet is different. Whether your furry friend is outgoing and affectionate or shy and independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and help them feel safe and secure. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. You can expect regular updates, adorable photos, and open communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾❤️
“Gwenyth is great with our two dogs Coco and Zoe! We hired Gwenyth to do drop-ins during the day. One of our dogs can be a little timid but Gwen is very patient and sweet with her. She is always on time, sends us wonderful updates and photos, which we really appreciate. We feel lucky to have found her here on Rover!”
“Kaylee did a great job coming regularly, following my particular feeding instructions, playing and cuddling with our kitties while we were away, and regularly communicating with us! Our standoffish kitty even started warming up to her quite quickly!”
“Christina is a wonderful and amazing woman. She has been such a blessing in my life and bubbles life. She was diligent and perfect, she was not just on time and communicated perfectly but was so good with bubbles and he loves her. She has such a positive energy and literally the best. Not going to choose any other sitter except her. She is literally awesome!!!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶 From energetic puppies who want to play all day to senior pups who prefer a quiet cuddle, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever makes your dog happiest. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I also have hands-on experience caring for pets with different medical and special care needs. Your pup will get plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and of course, lots of love while they’re with me! 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, but I’m able to visit pets during my lunch break and provide overnight care after work. Weekends are much more flexible, and I’m usually available for daytime visits as well as overnight stays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Technician, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behaviour or health. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, so they feel right at home! 🐶❤️
About: I have raised two dogs from puppies. I am a believer in the exercise/discipline/affection cycle of raising calm dogs. I can ride a bike during dog walks (if trained or I can train). I am retired, and can help your family out if you are at work/school during the day. I can do an evening visit if that works with your family (e.g., after dinner). I will walk and play with your dog as needed, following the cycle of exercise, then discipline and then affection. I am in good shape, and can handle a few good walks per day.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have helped family and friends care for their dogs many times. I have a large dog that is at my house half of the time, it is possible for me to watch your pet without another dog in the house if necessary. I work from home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule so I am available to play with and walk your pet often. I have a fenced yard and a large breed dog with me half of the time. It is possible for me to care for your pet without alone if necessary.
“Victoria is an actual hero. Our cat has diabetes and we recently were given new instructions/insulin dosage from our vet, which we passed onto Victoria. She followed every instruction to the tee and sent us pictures and updates of Louis, on time. One night, Louis became hypoglycaemic (this was because of the instructions we were given by our vet, NOT because of Victoria's care). Because of her experience, Victoria knew exactly what to do. She called us to let us know what was happening, put honey on Louis' gums, and took him to the ER. The doctors at the ER said that if VIctoria hadn't known to put honey on Louis' gums, he would not have survived. Victoria saved our cat's life. We will forever be grateful to her. Of course, we feel awful that she was put in that position...but we believe if anyone else was in her position, Louis would not be alive today. We are continually updating Victoria on Louis' recovery, as she genuinely cares for his well being. She is a wonderful, caring spirit with the most important skills for exceptional care of a pet. 100% recommend. THANK YOU VICTORIA.”
“Melissa was great with my two cats! She knows how to deal with cats, she is loving and caring, gave them lots of attention and play time. She also made sure they were eating and drinking, shes reliable and kept me posted on how things were. That allowed me to enjoy my time away a lot more, knowing I didn't need to worry about my furry babies and that they were in good hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tecumseh
Peri was so great with my cat! it was the first time i’ve ever hired a sitter for him so i was nervous, but he clearly took a liking to her right away. she took great care of him, played with him, fed him lots of treats and overall was great company for him. i felt so much more comfortable being away knowing that Peri was there with my boy!! would definitely rebook her in the future.
Jamie was excellent with our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. He came for daily visits to care for their needs and provided us with updates and pictures after each visit. This is at least our fifth time using Jamie and Danae and we would highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tecumseh is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 150 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Tecumseh. About 77% of Tecumseh sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Tecumseh 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
