“Lillian was great to work with. Myka loved spending time with her. Lillian took good care of our girl and helped with some small household tasks as well. She sent us pics and updates and spent even more time with Myka every day than specified in the services. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
“Stephanie is so caring and the sweetest!! She kept us up to date, and communicated perfectly. We never had to worry while on vacation, our pup was in great hands! ??”
“Lauren took wonderful care of our senior cat over Thanksgiving. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I am very appreciative of her attentiveness and care!”
About: I've almost always had a cat and small animals in my home since I was a kid, and I love all animals! If I'm unsure of a certain animal or breed for sitting, I'll happily do my research before the interaction. Any questions, please feel free to reach out! I have done many cat sitting/house sitting gigs in the past. I currently have a completely open schedule so your pets will be my #1 priority. They will get all the attention and play they can handle! I have 3 cats of my own, my standards for them are cleaning the litter boxes once per day (I have 5 of them), daily brushing for my long-haired cat and weekly for my short-hairs, scheduled feeding and clean fountains at all times! Lots of one-on-one play time as well, and I'm happy to do all of this and more for your furry friends.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, focusing on rescues and special needs animals. I love spoiling our furry friends! I’ve raised two puppies from 8 weeks and am patient and loving towards all pets. I am patient and understand different temperaments and energy levels. I’m friendly and adaptable and can follow any specific instructions. Your pet will be well cared for with me! I work from home full time so I have a lot of flexible free time to care for your pet! I can do drops ins any time of day and love spoiling your pets. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, and I’m extremely careful to always ensure pets are secured and safe!
“This was our first Rover experience and it was wonderful!! Jamiee and Matthew were timely with the visits, communicated quickly, as well as thorough with details on how the visits went. We definitely use them again in the future!! Thank you!!”
“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
“Aurora went above an beyond! She was super attentive and responsive. She also gave us excellent updates so I felt super secure while I was out of town. I'm pretty sure my pets are disappointed that she won't be visiting them everyday anymore after my trip. For my next trip I would definitely like to book with her again to look over my fur babies!”
“Corri has been our primary pet sitter for a couple of years now. She is a wonderful and caring pet sitter for our kitties. She is dependable and reliable, and we would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I am a graduate student at Wayne State, so I do have classes Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are somewhat flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.
About: I've had animals my entire life. I can't imagine life without them. I have experience with a variety - birds, hamsters, rats, dogs, turtles, hermit crabs, fish, bearded dragons, and other exotics. My own dogs have taught me various tricks to give medications, and I'm experienced with severe mobility issues, wound care, and a variety of health issues. I take the care of animals very seriously. If requested, for animals recovering from injuries or seniors with arthritis, I can provide red light therapy and pemf mat treatment. I currently work full time, but am available for drop in visits or dog walking. Unfortunately, due to allergies I am unable to care for cats (unless they are still kittens under a year old), bunnies, and guinea pigs.. as much as I love them! In my own home I have a fully fenced in backyard, completely pesticide free. My dog has a set evening routine. He's allowed on all furniture and sleeps with me in my bed. I provide him ramps to his chair and the bed, even though he prefers to be carried. 😄 In your home, I will of course follow your house rules. I am a hands on learner, so I would prefer a crash course on what to do and how you like it done before the visit. Written instructions are also very helpful.
“Carissa dropped-in on my cats twice each day while I was out of town for a week. She is flexible to changes in routine (my cats are slowly learning to coexist) and communicates their daily activities well through written descriptions and images. She is well attuned to each cats likes and needs. She remembers their favorite games between visits and can even tell when Violet needs a break from Saber. I appreciate knowing my cats are well cared for when I am away. Another very positive experience with Carissa!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She sent pictures, kept me up to date, and kept my dog happy and well taken care of. This was my first time using this service and it won't be the last. Thank you Emily!”
About: Hey I’m Alex! I’ve been dogsitting for a few local families over the past four year. They had me stay overnight or just stop in to feed and let the dogs out. I’ve also cared for cats, fish, birds, guinea pigs bearded dragons, snakes and mice. If you need someone to stop in and love on your animal, go for a walk or give you a stress free vacation - I’m your girl! I currently work overnight in the hospital so I’m able to stop in early and in the afternoon for longer periods of time. My evenings are usually the busiest but I’ve added my availability for nights I’m not working! I am happy to go outside on a leash with your puppies! My dogs personally have been trained to respect the boundaries without a leash at my home but I’ve cared for dogs that were only allowed outside on a leash! I’m a firm believer in changing the water daily for hygiene and love to spend time playing and snuggling.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, fish, and turtles. Growing up with dogs of all breeds has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, from energetic puppies to pets needing extra attention. I’ve cared for multiple families’ pets while they were away, including senior dogs and overnight stays, and have built trust through reliable care, regular updates, photos, and easy communication. I love providing pets with plenty of playtime, affection, and even a few extra surprises like new toys. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I currently work part-time in retail with shorter shifts, which allows me to dedicate quality time throughout the week to caring for pets. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate overnight stays if needed. I do my best to be flexible and am happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while making sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Building trust with every pet is my top priority. I take a gentle, patient approach and allow each animal to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel safe and secure. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals according to their routine, and lots of affection while always respecting their comfort level. I also make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have experience pet sitting, housesitting, and live with three dogs of my own. I love animals and helping people with their pets. I offer photography services, lots of cuddles, and will love your dogs like you do! I work during the week and choose to relax by taking care of and playing with dogs! There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people and caring for pups. I always make sure to spend time with dogs while not leaving them alone for long periods of time. When their family leaves, it can be stressful for pets and I do everything I can to make it easier for them.

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.

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.

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 .
