About: My experience with animals extends well beyond traditional pet care. I have cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs, and I also have extensive hands-on experience with birds. My education as an animal trainer has given me a deeper understanding of behavior, positive reinforcement, body language, enrichment, and the importance of earning an animal’s trust. I am also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, following detailed care and medication instructions, maintaining established routines, and watching closely for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I approach every animal with patience, respect, and genuine affection, adapting my care to help each pet feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I offer flexible scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s established routine, including daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I understand that plans can change, so I’m happy to discuss last-minute requests or adjustments whenever my availability allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care at the times your pet needs it most. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and place your pet in their care. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely while treating your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. You can expect timely communication, thoughtful updates, and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I have have had dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved them and wanted to work with animals since I was little. I have had pets as young as 4 weeks old to 18 years old, but I am comfortable working with all aged pets. I currently have three cats, Sadia, Mr. Orange and Oakley. I have had Sadia since she was a kitten and is almost 6 now. And the two boys I rescued within the past 6 months from being street cats and have fit so perfectly into our home. They are so sweet and friendly and great with my daughter Mila. I have always told my daughter since she was a baby to pet gently and be nice to all animals and now that she understands a lot more she loves animals just as much as I do and I am very proud of how good she does around any animal. I currently work part time with many off days in a row, so pet care would work perfectly into my daily and weekly routine with no problem. I have a fenced in backyard so we would be spending much of our time outside if the weather is nice. For inside the house I have baby gates if necessary. If I come to your home we will spend most of our time playing outside or going for walks.
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”

“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.

Nurra was wonderful with my two dogs! I made a last-minute request, and she was kind enough to accommodate it, which I really appreciated. She was professional, polite, and a great communicator throughout the drop-in visits. She even went the extra mile by taking the dogs for a walk. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend Nurra to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Shelly was absolutely exceptional with Tommy! 🐾❤️ She accommodated him in every way he needed and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely at ease leaving Tommy in her care, which meant so much to me. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and truly awesome with him. If I could give her 6 stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Shelly and would definitely trust her with Tommy again. Thank you so much, Shelly, for taking such wonderful care of my baby! ❤️🐶
I recently started a new job, and was nervous about going into the office and leaving my buddy at home. Sheila has been absolutely AMAZING for my Mac. I come home to a sleepy dog, instead of an anxious dog. They've given me complete ease of mind, and I couldn't recommend them more!

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 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. 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.
