“Elizabeth is amazing. She helped me out last minute and it is so obvious that she loves animals. That is what I wanted someone to be here to love my dog and kitties. ❤️ it was only one night, but I hope we have the opportunity to work together again.”
“Cherry was so great with my dog Dallas. She was happy to house sit 3 nights last minute for me and her and Dallas are new BFF’s. I was completely comfortable leaving him and received updates and pictures. They had a great time and will definitely reach out to Cherry again when I need a sitter and highly recommend her.”
“Leslie was great. She sent me pictures of my dog and texted updates. I never worried once when I was gone and most of the time I was outside of cell range and had no anxiety about issues popping up and her not being able to handle it. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sweet, responsive, and responsible. Ramen loves her. She sends lots of updates and photos to keep me informed. It’s so nice to have Izzy to lean on when I need help with sitting Ramen.”

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.
“Ebbie did a great job watching our senior dog! We were able to go away for the night feeling comfortable that he was in good hands. Our pup seemed relaxed and trusting around her very quickly. We hope she’ll come back and watch him again soon!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and pet-sat for family and friends my whole life. After recently coming home from living abroad, I realized I could combine my love for dogs with the need for a flexible work schedule and begin working for Rover. My schedule is wide open. I do not have any commitments as of now. I am able to provide as much care as any dog needs. With my own dog, I take her on walks, feed her twice a day, bathe her every week, and spend all day with her. She's pretty spoiled, haha
About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.
About: I have cared for 3 dogs at a time when dog-sitting with medical needs and leashes needed when going outside. in addition I have had dogs all throughout my life, I have worked with the puppy stage all the way to senior dogs. I’m currently working part-time and my shifts are very short 3-5 hours! That is the longest I would be away from your pets. I am able to house sit as needed Friday-Monday! I will watch their body language for needs along with following their feeding, medication, and outdoor schedule as requested! I will also keep a very close eye on the safety of your pets as that is my #1 priority!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dearborn Heights
Aurora is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our senior dog, our reactive dog, and our rabbit while we were away. She handled medication without any issues, and sent detailed updates and photos so that we always felt connected to what everyone was up to. She gave each pet including our rabbit one-on-one attention and knowing they were getting such great care really put us at ease with being away for so long knowing they were in excellent hands! We came home to happy, relaxed pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Aurora again!
Our cats have always been very shy around new people, but Aurora was able to coax them out in almost no time during our initial meeting. Throughout the week, she sent us regular updates with plenty of pictures, and with each one we could tell that they were completely comfortable with how naturally they were acting. On top of taking excellent care of our cats and the house, she was also great with our bearded dragon, making sure she got her regular meals (bugs included) and checking her comfort level frequently. We would absolutely recommend Aurora to everyone who wants to make sure their pets have a genuine animal lover looking after them!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dearborn Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dearborn Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .
