“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.”

About: I grew up having dogs in my home and in my family. I’m experienced in caring for dogs that are diabetic or pre diabetic. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own and make them feel at home. They will get plenty love and attention while they are in my care. I currently work on Monday through Thursday and at home on Fridays. I will always make sure your fur baby is cared for as directed. I have a fenced in yard and we will also go on walks. I like to get dogs out even if we go for treats.
“This is the second time I've booked cat sitting with Sheila and I always arrive home to happy cats! Even our extremely shy cat comes out of hiding to say hello and get some treats & pets from her. Highly recommend.”

About: Caring hands for all age groups. Offering families peace of mind while bringing comfort and joy to their furbabies. Supportive, compansionship, and genuine heartfelt care. Pet care easily fits into my dayily and weekly routine throught scheduled walks, feeding, playtime and companionship, ensuring every pet receives consistent attention, comfort and love. I care for pets by following their usual schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest. I make sure to keep thier environment clean, safe, and familiar, which helps reduce stress and keeps pets comfortabel while thier owners are away.
About: I grew up in a house with dogs both large and small and having the responsibility of helping to care for them. When I moved into my current home and getting a dog was a possibility I went to the shelter and found my perfect buddy. I love dogs and they are an important part of my life. I like to find things that engage my dog when he plays so he is stimulated mentally as well as physically. I hope this leads to a long and healthy life for him! I have always cared for animals and to be able to provide them with a happy and healthy life is a great joy. I have potty trained puppies, crate trained adult dogs, and taught tricks.
About: Working in an animal shelter has well equipped me to work with and adequately care for many types of dogs. Alongside this, I've had pets in my home all my life. I have an open availability that allows me to spend as much time needed with your pet. I love working with animals and would love to help you in any way possible. I have an attention to detail and can properly follow all guidelines given on how to best care for your furry companions needs! Whether that be feeding, walking, playing, or medicating I've got you covered.
“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.”

About: I have had different dogs and cats in my household since I was a kid, so loving animals just comes natural to me! I have been caring for friends and relatives pets for extra money on the side for a few years now! I really enjoy taking care of animals, and making money while doing it is just a plus! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, young and old. I have administered medication for dogs but no experience with injections. I can assure you that your best friend will get all the love and attention it needs! I am dependable, committed, and want to make sure that your pet feels loved while you're away. I am currently working part time and my schedule is VERY flexible. I will do my best to accommodate the times that you need, please message me for availability :) I care for each pet based on their individual needs. When boarding pets, my home is their home during their stay. Please feel free to message me with any questions about the services I provide. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! :)
“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 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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’m a proud cat mom to three rescued cats and grew up surrounded by dogs. I also cared for my diabetic dog and became comfortable with administering medications and providing extra medical attention. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have taken veterinary technician classes because my dream is to build a career in veterinary medicine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. 🐾 I recently moved to Michigan, so Rover is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. My typical availability is Monday through Friday, but I understand that pet care needs don’t always fit a set schedule. If you need care outside of those days, please reach out, I’m happy to do my best to make arrangements! 🐾 I currently have three cats of my own, so I prefer to provide care in my clients’ homes where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. However, if needed, I do have a fully fenced backyard and can discuss boarding on a case-by-case basis. I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, carrying treats for positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates to give you peace of mind and let you see all the fun your pet is having. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating them like one of my own.
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!
About: I’ve taken care of numerous dogs since I was 8. Close friends, family, and others around the neighborhood have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and make sure their pet gets the best care possible. I am currently working part time which gives me time to actively take care of an animal, usually any early morning times work even late evenings! I have a fenced backyard and two fur babies that are friendly with other dogs and your pet can be crated if need be for alone time!
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.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I regularly help take care of my neighbor’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I also volunteer with animal shelters whenever I can because I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m very patient, energetic, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I love spending time outdoors on walks and keeping pets active and happy. As a student who also works, I often have gaps in my schedule during the early mornings and midday. I usually spend that time going on long walks or being active, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, and I’m happy to fit their routines into my day whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following your instructions carefully and paying close attention to their needs. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I use the animals as motivation, being able to get up and seeing a happy, smiling, energetic pet is heart melting. I’m willing to walk and or house sit your pet. I have pets of my own and know what the bond is like. Animals are lime humans they have feelings and you don’t want to leave someone who’s like a child or sibling alone. That’s where I come in to be that extra support and learn to love and bond with your pet. I’m available at any time and can be flexible, working on your time and schedule. I’m currently in college and attend ferris state university to be a social worker. I’m all smiles and joy when it comes to working with and in the community. 😁

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dearborn Heights 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Dearborn Heights 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.
