About: My daughter visits from Virginia Beach 3-4 times a year and stays up to 2 weeks with 4 dogs from 40-75 lbs all spayed or neutered I’m recently retired and am home most of the time only driving for errands and appointments. I live alone and would love the company of a dog. My last dog passed away 4 years ago I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate a dog if needed. I have a large backyard and would be willing and able to walk.
“Wonderful!! My pets and I, loved Sheila!! She is trustworthy, and conscientious, and took excellent care of my pets!!

“Kristina is wonderful! I have a very nervous and reactive dog and Kristina came over to meet my dog before babysitting and was great with my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates during her visit to let me know how my dog was doing with her which was much appreciated. Will definitely be a repeat customer with Kristina!”
About: Hello~ I’m Olivia! I’ve been around dogs most of my life (since I was a baby!), and now that I’m on my own, I really feel the animal-shaped hole in my heart. As I don’t currently have any pets due to my circumstances, I still want to have that connection and joy you get from the pure love of a dog. I can promise if you trust me with your paw-ed family member, I will treat them as my own. I understand the difficulties dogs may have as they get older, and have experience with giving pills, cleaning up after accidents, and monitoring gait and health concerns. Each dog is special with their own needs and I am familiar with dogs with stomach issues and licking disorders, like the Shiba Inu and mixed breeds. If you need someone to follow specific directions, I have experience in technical jobs and have been lauded for my attention to detail. It is always so important to find someone that will properly care for your furry family member as they are not able to advocate for themselves. I do work full-time during the week, but have a decently flexible schedule and can stop in early in the morning, around lunchtime, and after work. I am also available on the weekends for those on vacation or needing assistance getting walks in! I understand it can be incredibly difficult to trust someone in your space, but I treat people’s spaces and pets how I would want mine treated. I believe coming to the pet in an environment they are familiar with can make it easier to develop trust and friendship, which are my goals for a happy pet-sitter relationship!

“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”
“Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.”
“Madeleine D. is our first choice when we leave town. They are always very good to our dogs and treats them as their own. I will always book with Madeleine for those reasons and more. 15 out of 10!”
About: I am retired, have no kids and we no longer have pets of our own. I would love the flexibility to look after your pet since I have the time, and want to stay active. We have a wonderful oasis and I would love for your pet to enjoy our home. We have owned cats of our own, have hired cat sitters many times and had dogs and cats growing up as kids. As a kid I frequently dog sat for our neighbors. Now I am most interested in dog walking, but happy to work with you for your dog-sitting and dog daycare needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your cherished pet and keeping them, and me, active while you are working, vacationing or running errands. I choose to provide pet care services as a continuation of my health journey. I love to take your dog for long walks and enjoy keeping dogs active in our fenced backyard. We have a fenced in yard. I am familiar with the dogs in the area in which I would walk your dog. I give positive affirmations to your animal if they are apprehensive when another dog is near.
About: After recently losing our two beloved fur babies back-to-back due to old age, our home has felt much quieter. We truly miss the love, companionship, and joy that pets bring each day, and we would be honored to care for your furry family members as if they were our own. Because I’m home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, snuggles, and personalized care throughout the day. From hourly potty breaks and daily walks to playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment, their comfort and happiness are my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to provide a safe, loving home where they’ll feel welcomed, cared for, and treated like family every step of the way. I do work from home so I’m able to provide multiple breaks at all times of the day! If your pet is on a certain schedule please let me know. Your pup is my pup when in my care! They’re allowed to lounge on furniture and cuddle with me! They’ll feel right at home. Your pet will feel loved!

I’m typically available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, which gives me consistent flexibility to take on bookings. I’m able to plan my day around visits and stay organized so I can be dependable and on time for each pet care commitment. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that pets can sometimes feel confused or out of place when their owners aren’t home, so I try to give them extra attention, patience, and reassurance. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines, and I treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. 🤍

“Emily was able to provide a drop in visit for my dog with a day notice and was willing to do a meet and greet prior. She was very responsible following all directions of arriving and leaving and was very loving with Aurora. She provided a wonderful description of how the visit went with pictures of Aurora. Would book again and would recommend Emily! Thanks!”

About: I’ve grown up with a family dog my entire life. I understand the importance of affection and physical activity for pups. Dogs are important creatures and deserve as much love and attention as we can give them. I currently work full time so at the moment I personally don’t have a dog. BUT that’s why I joined this app hoping I can get time with some furry friends. I’m free after 4 p.m. and on weekends! For dog walking - I live in a great are and super close to the greenway. Access to the greenway is great when finding a spot to walk dogs.

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 Dearborn Heights 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.

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.

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.
