About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Would always watch ours while my mom was on vacation. Love dogs more than anything and would love to meet yours! It doesn’t get affected to much I get a lunch break at work so I can always go home and let dogs out feed them etc. I also only work Monday - Thursday I feed my dogs and cats both. I take my dogs for walks almost everyday. They also both get fed at the same time everyday. I have to give my dog cbd treats sometimes bc she has anxiety and my cats just get treats a lot.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals who need extra care and attention. If you’re looking for someone you can leave your pets with and truly not have to worry about while you’re away, look no further. I own my own business, so I make my own hours. If I am away during the day, it is for a very short period of time. I keep my own animals on a very predictable schedule. I have a fully fenced in yard and a clean, pet-friendly home where animals are treated like family. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love while sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive to both the pets and the home. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
“I always know Marley is in good hands with Tatiana and Andrew! They are quick to respond, friendly and reliable! I appreciate them and the care they provide!”
“Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.”
“Laura has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! We’ve been using her over the last few months and she always provides detailed feedback and we feel very assured that she gives them lots of attention and love! We feel very fortunate to have her!”
About: I love working with all animals from dogs and cats to lizards and parakeets! I have a very flexible schedule for the most part and would work on your time. My past experience was boarding with a Labrador, so big dogs are great for me. I also have done a couple drop ins for a chihuahua and loved him. I am great with all sizes of dogs (and cats). I have a golden doodle of my own and he is 110 pounds so walking and taking care of bigger dogs is no problem! I am going into a veterinary career and would love to be more hands on with all different types of animals. The more the merrier! I would love to watch or walk multiple animals at once! I have an open schedule to care for your furry friends. I would love to take your dogs on an early morning or afternoon walk. I am available in the evenings as well for dinner time or after dinner walks! I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel right at home! I offer a friendly and safe environment where they can relax, play, and get lots of love and attention while you’re away
“Angela was great and took amazing care of my cat while I was on vacation. Having her there and seeing the pictures she took while I was gone really put me at ease knowing she was taking great care of my baby girl (cat). I will definitely not think twice about using her services again in the future.”
About: I grew up with Labs and currently have two of my own (both 11 years old) so I’m well versed in everything from puppy energy to senior dog care. I’ve dog sat for friends and family over the years through both check-ins and overnight house sitting, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. I work from home full-time, so I have flexibility most days of the week including weekends. I offer drop-in check-ins, dog walking, and overnight house sitting — and since I’m home throughout the day, last-minute requests are usually manageable. Feel free to reach out and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I treat every client’s home with respect and stick to whatever routine works best for your dog. I work from home so for house sitting I’m around consistently throughout the day — your dog won’t be alone for long stretches. All walks are on leash and I pay close attention to body language and surroundings. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, medications, or routines you have in place.
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
“Nicole agreed to visit my cat when my other sitter cancelled last minute. She asked great questions, was super friendly and flexible. Great communication and reports each day she visited. I felt very comfortable with Nicole taking care of my kitty. I could tell that he warmed up to her really quickly and enjoyed their visits. I would absolutely book Nicole again!!”
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I have taken care of dogs since my teens and i have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Neighbors, family and friends have told me i am super reliable and always took great care of the animals. I have worked at a doggie day care for about a year and at a vet clinic for 3 years. I currently work as a receptionist at Oakland Animal Hospital. I am looking to make this my full time job but right now I am able to do any time of the weekends. I am available after 4pm for right now. I am able to stay at your house to pet sit and take them on walks and to parks. I have reliable transport to get to your home or to take your pet anywhere. I currently can not board pets in my own home yet but would be willing to in the future.
About: Hi there! My name Marisa! I have a 1 year old spunky pup named Zoey. She is the sweetest girl and loves other dogs! I grew up with a family dog and also pet sitting for family and friends. I love running, walking, and playing with dogs! I live in a pet friendly apartment building and also have a fenced in courtyard to allow dogs to run around! I live by plenty of dog parks and places for dogs to run around. The lake trails are a short walk away that your furry buddy and myself can enjoy! Communication is important to me, so expect pictures and updates :) I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to take multiple breaks to walk, play and spend time with your dog! I like to consider my home my dogs home. They are a part of your family and I think it is important to treat them as such.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life. Growing up on several acres, we had multiple types of animals. They ranged from dogs to cats to chickens and more! It was always our jobs to help with the care of them. In my adulthood, I have always taken on side work helping with friends and families pets, as well as being hired through various websites. I absolutely love spending time with cats and dogs. I have one each of my own. I understand how truly important they are and always strive for the best care possible, as that is what I’d expect for my own when I need the help! I do work part time as a housekeeper. That is a pretty flexible job and I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Depending on what and when care is needed, I am able to stop in prior to going to my job, after (I’m usually done late morning/early afternoon), and evenings. My schedule changes a lot but it is very flexible! I will always do my very best to care for your fur baby. They deserve it, and you deserve knowing and trusting that I will!
About: I’ve always had a dog to take care of while growing up and It has turned me into the dog lover that I am today. I’ve always rescued dogs from the shelters and I know that time, dedication and lots of patience is the key to a happy dog. I’ve worked with dogs needing help overcoming anxiety/separation issues. It is a tough job, but very rewarding. Dogs have always been a major part of my life! I am available most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays! I may be available some Saturdays/Mondays. Please feel free to message me for more details. I’ve been walking our family dogs my whole life. My #1 first priority is their safety and security. We sit/pause when cars come by, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkston
Alicia was absolutely awesome! She came to do a meet and greet a few days before our trip and we knew instantly she was a good fit for our pups. She gave us great updates with the cutest photos; we felt very confident that our doggies were being taken good care of while we were away. Would highly recommend her!
Erin is very kind and loving with our dog. She is respectful of our home, punctual and communicative during her visits with photos and updates. I have requested her several times for drop ins and would definitely recommend her. She deserves the 5 star rating!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
