About: I grew up with a dog until I went to college. In medical school and surgical residency I have been the go to person for pet sitting. While my schedule is too crazy for my own fur baby, dog sitting fills that void! As a surgical resident living in Royal Oak and working in Madison Heights/Warren. My schedule is sometimes flexible and sometimes I am stuck at the hospital more than not. For this reason I don’t have my own dog, but I have the time for sitting! I defer to the owner regarding crate use and furniture rules. I’m a big pet snuggler but want to ensure consistency in training and behavioral expectations.
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a sweet 22-pound Cavapoo, so I know firsthand how much our furry family members mean to us! I love spoiling my pup with lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs, and attention, and I’ll treat your dog with that same love and care. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following your pet’s care routine. My goal is to make every tail wag and ensure your fur baby feels right at home! 🐶💕 I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to your pup! Your fur baby will never feel overlooked and will receive the personalized care, companionship, and belly rubs they deserve. 🐾❤️ I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs, personality, and routine. My priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pup feels secure while you’re away. I know being separated from their family can be an adjustment, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and cuddles. My goal is to make the transition as stress-free as possible, giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. They deserve to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do when you're at home! 🐾❤️
About: I live in Troy and have raised a dog and two cats from the time they were babies. I’m used to daily feeding, litter, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to a pet’s normal routine. I’m reliable, on time, and I’ll send photos and a quick update after each visit so you know how they’re doing. I’m comfortable with shy pets and can follow medication or special-care instructions if you walk me through them first. Happy to do a meet & greet before any booking. My girlfriend is always free to help. Her name is Elena and takes great care of your animals. She is super caring and wants the best for the fur babies. I will make sure they are fed, they use the bathroom, and are happy and enjoying there time with me. I only want the best for them
About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.
About: Hi there! I'm Sara and I am a fierce lover of animals. I am highly inclined towards gentle caregiving of all animals and I would be a great supporter of your pet's care needs! I have life-long experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and I am skilled at handling a bigger dog on a leash. I have a lot of patience for animals with special needs and more complex feeding and/or grooming routines. I also have a deep love for cats and have a lot of experience caring for a variety of breeds. I am skilled at grooming and medicating cats as well, and I have experience in helping to raise kittens. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. I am looking for a regular position as an animal caregiver, and I am willing to be flexible in maintaining the care schedule if I acquire any additional employment opportunities in the future. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends! I am all about open communication when it comes to scheduling needs and conflicts, so please do not hesitate to reach out for a chat. When it comes to caring for pets in a client's home, I demonstrate the utmost respect in caring for the physical space in whatever ways requested by the client. I am happy to submit to any background check and can provide reliable references to attest to my commitment and trustworthiness. I have two cats and one of them is very afraid of dogs, however my house allows for a good deal of separation, so a discussion with the owner to establish boundaries for care within my own home is a priority. I have a fenced-in backyard and I am happy to bring clients' dogs over to play out in the yard, weather-permitting. Overall, I am very flexible and I look forward to discussing your needs in further detail!
“Jason was amazing. I would recommend him as a sitter for your dog, cats and as a chicken checker...lol. Jason took great care of our dog on his drop ins and did a few extras too, like took an Amazon package in. Jason was reliable and had great communication. We will definitely use his services again.”

“Emily is fantastic!! Great with communication, updates, & photos! I had zero stress leaving our pets behind for her to drop-in and care for. I would definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! We’ve always had dogs in the family, big and small. I’ve been fostering animals (cats, dogs, bunnies) for about 2 years now as well! I’ve cared for kittens, feral kittens, grown cats, puppies that are learning basic commands and potty training, adult dogs. I’ve also taken care of animals that need extra care, ones that aren’t comfortable around humans or came from stressful situations. I’m available Saturday & Sunday! Monday through Friday I work 9am-6pm, so I’d be available before or after. My lunch is from 1-2pm, if you’re near Troy I could possibly make that work as well! I respect animals and allow them the space to feel comfortable and interact on their terms! I’m also very mindful of surroundings and am naturally a very tidy person.
“Mason, did an awesome job carrying for my cat Mango and the neighborhood cats while I was out for the holidays. I got detailed information through the Rover Cards everyday. I felt at peace having Mason looking for my cat and I’ll definitely think of them next time.”
About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions and being able to work with them is a dream come true. I personally have owned and taken care of dogs, tropical and freshwater fish, small pets, and cats. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and have experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting locally. I’m currently enrolled in evening cosmetology classes 5-10pm Mon-Thurs and work Saturday mornings 8-3. Otherwise I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys spending time with my pets and outside. I have a couple of my own pets so I’d rather not keep other pets at my place for extended periods of time (unless they’re fully up to date on vaccines, shots, and behavioral training), but I’m happy to assist in anyway I can at your house. I can do basic cleaning and of course pet care such as walking, watering, feeding, taking outside, playing, etc.. I can lock the house and leave the key in a predetermined location if needed. I’m happy to follow any house rules, special instructions, and anything extra needed for the pets, including medications or continuing ongoing training.
“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”
About: Hi, I’m Erin! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animals all my life because what is life without dogs? I’ve always loved animals, but I have a very special place in my heart for dogs. They bring me so much happiness. I enjoy playing with animals and cuddling them, and I will always treat your dog the way I would treat my own. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! 😊 I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available Monday through Friday, and sometimes on weekends as well. I’m also happy to pick up your pet and take them to the park or play in the yard. We can play fetch and go for a nice walk.
About: I treat pets like toddlers.. Make sure they are well fed, happy and well taken care of.. I will give the pets home away from home. I am currently working from home, kids are home, husband is home..Along with me I have two kids who will enjoy playing with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays as well as weekends. Just give me a call to make sure I am not already booked. I have a backyard were your pups can play, a golden doodle at home and 2 kids along with their friends to keep your puppy company.
About: After caring others pets to my own, I realize that no two furbabies are the same. Some require more patience and attention, while others need their freedom and a guiding hand. I am here to offer all of that! I have always been a dog and cat person. Growing up, I had a sweet little guinea pig since we didn't have the room for something bigger. However, he was never just a pet, he was a part of my family. I always think about him when caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I have cared for cats, walked dogs, and even housed a few pets for a short time (although, one of my relatives is rather allergic so I cannot offer that service anymore). I cannot wait to connect with more animals! I am currently a student at Oakland Community College pursuing a career in computer science. Most of my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's are crammed with classes in the afternoon. However, I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings. The rest of the days are free. Regardless of what animal you share your home with their everyday messes are inevitable. I like to keep them in a happy and clean environment at all times. Their physical and mental health is always my priority.
About: I grew up with German Shepherds in my home all my life. I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was a teenager for friends, teachers, and family. Dogs have ranged from Shih Tzu's to Bernese Mountain Dogs. I am very active, so walks and playing with the animals is not a problem. I work from home three days a week, so dog sitting or dog walking fits into my schedule. On the two days I go into the office, I am able to be home by 5:30pm. I am very flexible and willing to work with my clients to ensure their pets are taken care of within the timeframe they need. I will be very attentive to your pets needs when house sitting and walking them. I would provide them with food, fresh water and companionship in addition to taking them for walks and getting them excursive. I love to cuddle and play ball, keeping the pets engaged and distracted from the fact their owner is gone for a short period.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clawson
Camile did a great job with my three boys (dogs) while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and I could tell by her pictures that she was actually interacting and playing with them. I told her she could leave my reactive, shy boy locked up but she removed the gate and gave him a chance to come out on his own. On the second day he did!
Jessica was fantastic with our pup Nigel. He’s a nervous boy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but immediately liked her at the meet and greet! Jessica is always quick to respond, a great communicator, and sent detailed notes with cute pictures for each visit. Nigel also has a few special needs/requirements and she was more than accommodating, including giving him multiple medications and keeping an eye out for accidents. We felt super comfortable leaving Nigel in her care. She truly does care for each animal like they’re her own! We would definitely recommend her and will for sure book with her for future trips :)
Kat goes above and beyond for our dogs while my partner and I are working long hours! She gives them treats, brings extra toys for them to play with, and generally just gives them a ton of love while she’s visiting. In the pictures she takes, you can see how happy our dogs are when they are being cared for by her. Her schedule is really flexible and she has saved us a couple of times when we’ve had to ask for her help fairly last minute. I’m so glad we found her for our senior pups!
Kelly has been absolutely wonderful with my pups! She is incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. I have a lot of specific routines and details that are important to me, and she takes the time to follow every one of them. She is reliable and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my girls are in good hands. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond for their pets!
Jodi did an exceptional job petsitting for us while we were away for 5 days. She took on a somewhat challenging schedule with three very different pets with different needs. She was timely, reliable, caring, engaging and communicated well throughout the process.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clawson is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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.

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 Clawson 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. 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 , 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 .
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
