About: I'm the kind of person who sees dogs as their own little beings. They have thoughts, feelings, preferences, and personalities just like we do. Some want to be attached to your hip, others need a little independence, and I love getting to know what makes each dog unique. As a dog mom, I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone else. My goal is never just to supervise your dog. I want them to feel comfortable, respected, and cared for in a way that matches who they are. Whether that means extra playtime, extra snuggles, or simply giving them space, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have flexibility to come anytime through out the work day, also in the evening if you’re stuck somewhere and the dog needs to be let out and fed. This is Monday-Friday. I also have flexibility to drop in on weekends if you are gone all day at a family event, soccer game, etc. I can adapt to your dog’s schedules and needs easily. I am personally used to feedings twice a day, multiple potty breaks and 2 mile walks for my own dog.
“She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for three days! She visited every day, took care of her feeding and litter box, and spent time playing with her. She also sent daily photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat was doing well when I got home, and the litter box was clean. I really appreciate her care and communication, and I would happily book her again. Highly recommend!”
“WOW doesn't cover it! Kevin P. is a real life cat whisperer. He is thorough and thoughtful and cared for my girls like they are his girls. Some of his pics were akin to the results of a professional photo session. Some really cool shots that I am going to print and frame. The bad news?? My little Glum (who I thought would hide from Kevin for the 2.5 days I was gone) in fact found her first real man crush (always thought it was me)! When I returned home this afternoon nobody came to greet me at the door. I looked all over the house and found Glum just lounging on the guestroom bed like I had never left the house. The thing is, just from the pics I received from Kevin I knew Glum was RUNNINNG to the door each to he arrived! Sigh... THANK YOU, Kevin.”
“Cara was awesome with coming over to first meet my dogs and making sure they were a good fit, especially since I have a dog with special needs. Both of my dogs loved her! She is very friendly, quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I got lots of pictures after their first check-in which I appreciate. I had happy dogs when I got home and it was very nice not having to worry about them while I wasn't home. I will definitely book with Cara again!”
“Kelly did an awesome job caring for our two cats. She sent pictures every time she was there and did a great job caring for them. Loved working with her and totally trust her with our cats!”
“As always, Jackie was amazing with our pup Nigel. She’s great with communication and always sends the best updates and pictures! We always feel super confident leaving our boy in her care :)”
“Stephanie took the best care of my cat while I was away for a week. He liked her so much that he cuddled with her, which he had never done before with anyone else. She sent regular updates and I knew my cat was in wonderful hands. Now I will no longer be anxious about leaving him as long as I know she can visit him.”
About: Hi there! Thank you for visiting my pup care profile! I have extensive experience caring for every breed and size dog, especially senior care. I have cared for 2 senior pups of my own and within the family. My last girl made it to 16! My current fav senior is named Barney and he is 14 🐾 My dog now is a young fellow, a Yorkie mix rescue who gives me a run for my money 😆 He is the cutest! As for what I offer, I will always go above and beyond to ensure complete comfort for your specific and unique furry fam member! Making sure they are content as a bee, after having spent a stroll/visit together :) I take tons of pics on my visits and truly enjoy giving updates, so you can definitely expect utmost care for your pet when I am there !
“Gabriela is one of the best and most reliable Rovers I’ve ever had. She is always responsive and can take handle last minute changes in schedule. I appreciate her so much, and always takes the best photos of my pup :)”
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy staying active and would love to help give your dog the exercise and attention they need throughout the day.😊 Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. (Weekends: upon request) Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll always pay close attention to your dog’s behavior, surroundings, and individual needs during walks and visits. I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your pup can feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Katie was great! She gave both my babies all the loving and attention they needed. She took lots of photos and left detailed notes about things she took care of for them. I will be using her for future drop in visits!”
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.
“Chelsea was great. She really helped me out when I was in a pinch to find a sitter. I came home to a very happy and excited pup. He ran right up to me and was dancing around, I imagine he was trying to tell me about his new friend.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent who understands that pets are family! I provide a loving, patient and reliable care while making sure every pet feels safe, happy and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and maintaining your pets normal routine! I will treat your pets as they are my own. Your pets safety, comfort and happiness is my top priority! My schedule allows me to offer pet care Fridays through Mondays. I’m unavailable Tuesdays through Thursdays due to work commitments. I’m happy to work with pet parents to coordinate visits that work best for both of our schedules! As a pet owner myself, safety is my top priority. I also understand how important it is to have trust in people that are taking care of your fur babies. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and comfortable that your pets are in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clawson
Jessica has been doing drop-ins with our pup while we are at work for a month now. She is warm, kind, and great with our dog, and she also is extremely responsive and a great communicator with us through the app. We were very nervous about the transition to leaving Pepper home alone all day (we had previously worked from home), but Jessica's kindness and consistency with coming to see her at lunch has helped make the transition a smooth one!
Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Clawson is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,591 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clawson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clawson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
