About: I have 5 cats of my own and am very well versed in all cats quirks and personalities. I have a lot of understanding of cat behavior and have a soft spot for all kitties. Weather your cat is standoffish, a social butterfly, a scardy cat, or even a little territorial, I have it handled! I understand cats can have weird needs or care instructions and am willing to do whatever to make your kitty feel safe and cared for. In addition, I have grown up around lot of dogs and understand canine behavior. My family has had a medium size dog since I was 8 and I did most of her training from crate training to teaching her to sit. I am willing to do whatever your dog needs from walks, to playing fetch/exercising, as well as drop by visits or weekend stays. I have a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but am able to do weekday visits in the morning and/or evening depending on what your feline requires (weather it be visits before I go to work, after I get off, or later in the night). I will work with you to fit your pet into my schedule and make sure they receive exactly the care they need, weather that's a drop in once a day or longer visits a couple times a day. On weekends I am available around the clock for whatever your kitty may need! I am willing to clean litter boxes, change water dishes, provide feedings, clean food bowls, provide enrichment/play time, perform health monitoring, administer any medications necessary, or any other requests to keep your cats safe and well cared for! I have a background with sick animals and have previously administered daily shots or oral medications to my own pets, so I am able to provide a wide range of medical care if your cat requires such.
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 many dogs in their homes and mine. Pets feel safest at home, and I bring calm, loving care they can trust. ❤️ I will work around your schedule - just let me know what you need and we will figure out the details. I am completely flexible. I stay in your home and care for your pets their way - walks, play, special meals - whatever they need to feel safe and happy.
“Delanie is so sweet and was an instant connection with our sweet boy! She's very affectionate with him and takes great care of him! We appreciate her knowing we don't have to worry about him while we're out!”
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I’ve been taking care of animals for friends and family for at least the last 3 years- I always love taking care of whoever I can! I can provide part-time and full-time weekend care, and am trained in pet CPR and safety! I’m capable of administering medication, and can be reliable in the time needed to feed, let outside, and do everything else that dogs need to be happy! I’ll also give consistent update messages to let you know what’s happening on a day-to-day basis! I’m currently only available on weekends when I have an available car, as I’m currently getting approved for an auto loan on a new car! But anytime then, I’d love to help out on the pet care side! I’m experienced in dealing with multiple different homes, and can do whatever is needed for pet care, such as crating dogs or scooping litter boxes!
“Rachael took awesome care of my fur babies while I was out of town. She sent picture updates and made me feel that my pets were well cared for and in good hands! She is very sweet and I would definitely have her check in on my animals again! Thank you :)”
“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.”
“Daisy always always spoils our pups. Whether it’s during drop ins or longer stays, Daisy always takes the best care or our dogs and makes them feel extra loved. We appreciate her so much.”
“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!”
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!

“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 have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family members and close friends. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about animals, and I strive to create an stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work only two days a week, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most days and can work around your schedule to ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!
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.

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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkston
Claire took excellent care of Merlin! We’re very happy with the care and attention she gave him during both visits. She took him outside for potty breaks, walked him, played with him, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Claire with Merlin again and highly recommend her! 🐾
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clarkston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Clarkston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
