About: I have had both cats and dogs in my care since i was 10 years old, my ex husband’s cockatiel, and a brief stint with a snake in my adult life, too. I also have 2+ years in pet sitting and dog walking experience. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I offer drop-in visits and walks, sticking to your preferred schedules and habits so your pet feels secure. You’ll get honest, regular updates with photos every time I visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible availability allows me to spend quality, unhurried time during drop-ins or walks. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a longer midday visit, I’m able to stick closely to the timing they're used to. When caring for pets in your home, safety and security are my main priorities. I make sure double gates and doors are secure, stay observant during walks, and follow your exact house rules. I take care to leave your space just as I found it and keep you updated after every visit so you know everything went smoothly.

“When my husband and I went on a 10-day trip, Jenn was wonderful with our two cats and gave me great peace of mind during such a long time away. Her reassuring messages and sweet photos were exactly what I needed to be able to fully enjoy our vacation! She's exceptionally responsive, very careful with details, and lovely to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!”


“Brittany was kind, communicative, and took great care (and pictures) of Zara! i would recommend Brittany’s services to anyone with an animal companion, and i would definitely rebook!”

“Ben took excellent care of our dog, Ernie - he sent detailed updates and was very patient with our quirky rescue! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and thorough dog sitter!”


About: I’m a daycare teacher and babysitter who absolutely loves caring for both kids and pets! I’ve dog sat twice so far, and it’s quickly become something I really enjoy. I love being around different pets—their personalities are so fun, and I’m always learning something new from each one. I’m very patient, loving, and attentive, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to keep growing in pet care and make this a regular part of what I do! I work full-time as a daycare teacher Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, but I’m still able to balance pet care reliably. When house sitting, I stay in the client’s home to ensure consistent care. I take care of pets in the mornings before work, check in during breaks when needed, and give them full attention once I’m off. I make sure they are fed, walked, and comfortable throughout the day, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being while maintaining a structured routine. On weekends I’m 100% available! I don’t have pets of my own yet! But When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get regular potty breaks and walks. I also spend time playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they feel calm and not lonely. I keep the home clean by picking up after the pet and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I also check in with updates when needed so the owner feels reassured while they’re away.
“Chelsea was very friendly and responsive, and respectful of our place! More importantly, our cat really seemed to take to her really quickly - we highly recommend her for house drop in visits with cats 🐱”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and also have regular experience with birds and some with lizards. I love walking even running with dogs and hanging out with the kitties. I’m very orderly open and loving. I’ve been assisting my family and friends in pet care all my life. I’m currently self employed as a personal trainer training folks in their homes. I have an unusual schedule and am used to being a part of my clients households so I’ll be comfortable meeting and caring for your furry pals and will have time through the day and night to pop in for walks, potty breaks etc. I’ll treat them like they’re my own pal!! Play, hang, and live the good life! It’s my pleasure to get to spend time with these awesome creatures.
About: I have cared for family friends dogs for more than six years. From new pups to senior dogs, I am willing to learn more how to love and care for your pet. I am a full time college student, so my days can be quite filled, but I am able to give the time and care to your pet! I am available Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Saturday’s and Sundays. If my schedule allows, I stay late with my furry friends, and arrive early to make sure they weren’t left alone for long. I usually am able to take pets for bathroom breaks every two hours.
About: A big part of my childhood was spent caring for pets—though not all at the same time! I grew up with two cats, Spike (a black cat) and Sunny (a tabby), as well as a pitbull/bulldog mix named Dash. That’s really where my love for animals started. Taking care of them taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and how to understand different pet personalities. It also sparked my soft spot for pit bulls and larger dogs—they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the past couple of years, I’ve expanded that experience by caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with kittens, adult cats, and dogs including Boston Terriers (both senior and puppy), German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Terrier mixes, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs. I’m comfortable adjusting my care depending on the pet—whether that means keeping up with a high-energy puppy, being patient and gentle with a senior dog, or giving a shy cat the space they need to warm up. What sets me apart is how intentional I am with care. I pay attention to the little things—behavior changes, energy levels, routines—and I make sure pets feel safe, seen, and comfortable. I’m also reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. And as a bonus, I can keep your plants alive too! My mom has been into gardening since 2020 (and is still going strong), and while she’s the expert, I’ve picked up solid basics—watering, light needs, and general upkeep—so your plants will be in good hands as well. As a full-time graduate student and wedding singer, my schedule is pretty flexible—which works out perfectly for giving your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m able to do daytime check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays, and I enjoy building pet care into my weekly routine. I naturally connect with animals—they tend to gravitate toward me, and I love building that bond with them. Beyond just care, I really value creating a calm, loving, and attentive environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I believe I’d make a great sitter because I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. For me, it’s not just about pet sitting—it’s about creating a sense of comfort, consistency, and trust while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m very mindful of maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes clean, walking, engaging in playtime, and paying attention to their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is super social or a bit more independent, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always to provide not just care, but companionship—and to be someone you and your pet can trust.

About: I couldn't imagine my life without DOGS! Ever since I was young, my family has always had at least one dog in the home; from small dogs such as Yorkshire Terriers to larger dogs such as Labrador Retrievers (I've had MANY), I've had and LOVED them all. I currently have 1 precious, female Labrador Retriever named Kiaya who is playful, sweet and wonderful around children! I love exercising, so walking your dog(s) will never be an issue for me! Whether it be an afternoon walk or backyard play, I am available for those short visits as well; even if last minute! I have a large, fenced in yard so your pups will have plenty of room to roam. We also have a swimming pool so if your pup is up for a swim, he or she is welcome! Also, if youd prefer your dog to steer clear of the water, that can easily be arranged as well! I look forward to caring for your canine family member just as I would my own. I hope you will consider me for your next booking. I can assure you that your furry friends will have a luxury "staycation" that they will never forget! Please contact me at anytime even during the evening hours to schedule or if you have any questions! New to Rover?? Use my promo code: CHERYW80641 to receive $20 off your first booking! I am extremely flexible and home all days of the week and can be readily available on short notice. I have a flexible summer schedule as well! Whether playing fetch in my backyard, playing in the water, or taking short and/or long walks, your fur babies will always have my undivided attention. Safety is a top priority! No need to worry when they are in my care!
“Jiayue and Joshua took great care of our cat Minerva! They were very communicative, careful to follow all instructions and ask questions for clarification, and sent lots of photos and videos. We would be happy for them to care for her again any time!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my entire life. I’ve never been without an animal in my 24 years of living. I’m really good at giving baths and following specific instructions. I have my own transportation. I have also done some drop ins for my family and friends while they’re out of town to take care of their animals. I promise I am extremely responsible and you can trust me with your furry friends. I also exercise so walking animals can help me get in my workout as well as theirs so it’s a win win for everybody. I do not discriminate against any dogs or cats. I love all of them equally and they will all get equally loved by me every time I see them :). I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability throughout the week to take care of your animals! I can drop in, I can walk them whatever your needs are I can meet them for you! I have experienced distributing medicine so if you have any animals that need that I can do that for you. I will feed them,play with them-cuddle. Take them out for walks. Anything that you need!

Meghan was really great with our senior dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which made me feel comfortable seeing that our dogs were happy, playing, and eating. She also communicated promptly if she had any questions. Would definitely recommend Meghan to others, and will be booking her again in the future!

Danielle took exceptional care of Theo!! He is often slow to warm up to new sitters, but by the second visit it was clear that he really liked her. She provided insightful messages on Theo each day and I had peace of mind knowing she was checking in on him. I would absolutely book her again and you should too!

Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.

Faith did a fabulous job taking care of our pets while we were on vacation. She was super responsive to texts, sent us photos at every visit and followed all instructions, which are a little complicated since we have 4 pets, two of which are elderly. We will definitely book with Faith again in the future. Thanks again, Faith!

We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!

Benjamin was absolutely wonderful with Blu and Puddin! From the very first message he was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It's not easy finding someone you can trust with a high-energy Husky AND a 13-year-old teacup Yorkie, but Ben handled both of them with ease. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Puddin can be a delicate little lady and Blu keeps you on your toes, but Ben took it all in stride. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and that says everything. We will definitely be booking with Ben again; highly recommend! 🐾

Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.

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.
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 Clarkston 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 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
