“Fatima is the ABSOLUTE best. She is the five-star, Michelin chef of all Rover sitters. I left for Europe for 10 days, and she took care of my two troublemaker cats like it was so problem. She even lugged my giant Chewy delivery box up three flights of stairs for me (those things are so heavy). She EVEN protected my cats and apartment from unwanted construction work that my landlord was trying to have done while I was gone!!!!!! She followed all of my crazy, stressed cat-mom instructions (haha) and more! She would play with them, brush them, hold the screen door safely shut so they could look outside, and put on TV for them. I could not have asked for a better kitty-caretaker. Fatima is unmatched!!!! :))))”

About: I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs! I have been caring for and house sitting dogs of all breeds since I was 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs making sure to adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and exercise. I am highly attentive, reliable, and committed to satisfying both the pet’s and owner’s needs. I am currently a student; however, I have a very flexible schedule, and can tailor my schedule towards the needs of my clients. I can work weekends. I am a focused and hard worker and will make sure your pet is cared for to the best of my ability. I love all animals and want to make sure that their needs are met through exercise, love, and care.
About: I’m a huge animal lover with years of hands-on shelter and foster experience, and I genuinely love caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I volunteered for two years with Philly PAWS and currently a volunteer at HSHV. Over the years, I’ve fostered 15+ cats, including kittens, seniors, and cats who need special care, such as medications and eye drops. I’m also very comfortable with shy, anxious, or formerly stray cats, and I take pride in helping them feel safe, calm, and comfortable in a new environment. I care for both cats and dogs, and I’m happy to host multiple cats at once if they are all friendly with cats. For dogs, I only take one dog at a time, so they get my full attention and a calm, low-stress stay. I don’t have any pets of my own at home, which means your pet will be my TOP priority! My home/neighborhood: I live in a large apartment with tall ceilings, stairs, and vertical space, including a cat tree. The neighborhood also has a dog park. My care style: I’m very attentive, patient, and responsive. I love engaging in playtimes and can be calm and gentle for seniors or pets needing extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have a flexible schedule and am quick in communication. I send daily photos and updates, so you can always know how your pet is doing. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly! Whether your pet needs extra patience or special care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out anytime! I'm a PhD student at Umich with a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home most days of the week. If I’m away from my house it’s usually within 3 hours to 4 hours, and my office is very close to my apartment so I can come back quickly. I follow the feeding instructions (and any medication or special care instructions). I provide a variety of toys, snacks, and comfortable beds, ensuring your pet's happiness. Daily check-ins guarantee their well-being with pictures and I'm always ready to play, offer food, water, groom, and provide a clean litter box as needed. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities! For dog boarding, I usually walk once in the morning and once at night, but if I am home in the afternoon we go for potty breaks.
“Cheryl was so helpful. I booked her last min. She did so good with my boxer Stella. Let her out and played with her. She even went out of her way to put fresh water in the bowl for her. I am so appreciative to have her help and will recommend her to anyone!”

“Maeson was very communicative and easy to coordinate visits with. She went above and beyond in sending photos and information and my cats got plenty of attention and play during her visits. Maeson was also very on top of logistics such as building access and cat care requests, which gave me peace of mind while out of town. I would absolutely recommend Maeson and plan to rebook in future. :)”

“Hadlie is a reliable help! Our cats seem to like her and are familiar with her. She is trustworthy, friendly, and professional. I rest easy knowing that our cats are well cared for. 💗”

“Mengdongxue was an incredibly reliable and caring pet setter for my kitty! A true lifesaver when my pet care plans had fallen through last-minute. I loved all the photos and updates, and could tell my cat really liked her. I would absolutely recommend Mengdongxue to anyone!”


“Lacy is so friendly and very responsive! She reached out when there were questions too. My cats were happy and fed while we were away for a trip. We even got lots of photos during the visits! Would definitely have her watch my pets again.”

“We loved having Karla check in on our pup while I was having a medical procedure out of state. I had an adverse reaction and had to stay an extra night and Karla saved our butts by being able to do an extra day! Very punctual and highly recommend using her!”

About: I have cared for quite a few dogs (and cats) in the past, some young and some old, some big and some small. No matter how much hair your dog has, how rowdy they are, or how fragile they have become, I will care for them all the same! I promise I am reliable, responsible, and always put your pets' needs first. I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, make sure they get plenty of fun exercise outside, and show them all the love and care they deserve. I hope to meet your adorable pup(s) soon! I am a student and a part-time employee though I have lots of flexibility in the summer. Most days and times work for me! I have two sweet and lovable cats of my own, so I am unable to care for pets in my own home. I am very active, though, and I love going for walks. So why not have an adorable dog by my side!
“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and 2 guinea pigs while I was away! She was responsive and punctual, and I came back home to some happy pets. I will definitely book her again.”


About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have cared for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m also very dependable and will treat your dog like they’re my own. My background in healthcare has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive to details, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. I’ll be moving to Wyoming on October 5 for a short-term job as I prepare for graduate school, and I’ll have a very flexible schedule leading up to that. From September 16 through October 5, I’ll have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings during this time. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m a very responsible and attentive person, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, and anything else your pet needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I have two loving and active cats who can be a handful sometimes and Brianna ALWAYS does an amazing job with them! She sends thoughtful updates with great pictures which I really love and she pays attention to the small details (e.g. cleaning out their food dishes when they’re done eating so they don’t accumulate dry gunk and changing the water regularly so it’s fresh) which makes such a difference coming home! We love Brianna and are repeat bookers every time she’s available!”

About: I grew up owning and taking care of pets (cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and more) and have taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors on and off for over 20 years. I work in tech and have a flexible schedule to ensure your pet's needs are met throughout the day. As a mom, I am used to waking up early or even in the middle of the night as needed. I live in a large house with no other pets (besides fish). My three children are very comfortable around animals. I also live on a preserve, which is perfect for long nature walks with a dog!
About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.
“Chelsea is a reliable and caring pet sitter who goes the extra mile when taking care of pets. She was able to help us on short notice and we felt very assured that our cats were in good hands. She also gives great updates on the pets and responds quickly whenever we contact her. We plan to schedule more pet sitting with her and I would definitely recommend her to others.”


“Regan takes care of 7 year old Labrador Retriever Baby Jack (BJ), and 13.5 year old Labrador Retriever Jill. She is reliable and shows up as promised. She does a great job of playing with BJ and getting him relaxed and calm. Regan is patient with Jill who is quite elderly and requires a lot of TLC. We highly recommend Regan--she is smart, reliable, caring and everything anyone could want in a dog companion! Five stars and we will continue to use her for walks, playtime and overnights!!!”
About: Growing up we always had pets in my home. We’ve always had 1-3 cats and had a dog once (the heartbreak of her loss kept us from getting another). I’ve had the responsibility of walking my dog 3 times a day, feeding the dog and the cats twice a day, and spending extended periods of time with them. I recently moved to A2 from Chicago and am working full-time as an occupational therapist in a hospital, looking for a part-time gig. I would love to look after others’ pets during my free time from my studies. I am a very calm and detail-oriented individual. I live with my partner of 4 years and my senior cat I’ve had for 19 years. I love being with both cats and dogs and am looking forward to tending to their needs and providing a very fun, welcoming, and loving experience! I work full-time during the week but am available for early morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and most weekends. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can find a time that works! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’m experienced caring for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, administer medications if needed, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: About us 😸🐶🐾: We are outgoing, friendly, and natural Pet Sitters. We have grown up with animals our entire lives. You will find with us a safe, loving, and caring place for your dog(s) while you are away from home. I (Monica) have worked at a boarding facility in Peachtree City, GA with pets of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing, de-shedding, administering medication, and caring for your pets. Our schedules are fairly easy. Most of the time one of us is at the house. I (Monica) work from home so I'm generally around to play with the pups and keep an eye on them! and Andrei is at home in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. We are available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, playtime, and dog walks most days. Feel free to reach out for booking or any questions you may have. We have a fenced yard and a very comfortable "dog room" with a dog bed, toys, and fresh water. We are parents of Tiberio, he’s a lovely and super friendly border collie pup who loves to host and share with other dogs and cats. We prioritize the physical safety and emotional well-being of our furry visitors above all else. With our dog, your pet can have an instant new friend to help them adjust and have the best possible time. If your pet likes to be the only dog in the house and they need some one-on-one time with people only, we can do that too! We’re certified in CPR, first aid, and infectious diseases. A few more things you should know before we get started - We watch multiple dogs at a time. So your pups must be ok with sharing with other dogs. We usually start with a quick meet and greet first. If that goes well, we might suggest an overnight trial or daycare, depending on your request. This way, we can see how your pup handles things and help them get comfortable with our environment.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dexter 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 Dexter 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. 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.
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 Dexter with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 97% 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.
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.
