“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”
About: I have dog/cat experience as I was raised with them and currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can care for those will medical needs. I had a diabetic dog for 14 years up until 3.5 years ago My daily life is pretty flexible. I work full time but have flexibility before and after work and weekends. I work 8 hours shifts . If u live near my work I can always check on your pets on my lunch break My hope is to keep pets routine similar as if there owner was not away.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have owned several dogs with very different personalities and needs. From energetic Australian Shepherds who thrive on activity and mental stimulation to my calm and gentle Golden Retriever, I’ve gained valuable experience understanding how to care for dogs of all temperaments. I enjoy staying active and love spending time outdoors, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or playing fetch at the park. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, and I’m just as happy to spend quiet time relaxing, cuddling, and providing companionship for pets who prefer a slower pace. I take pride in being responsible, dependable, and respectful of both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your pet and provide them with the care, attention, and affection they deserve! 🐾❤️ I currently have a work schedule that is all over the place, I am free anytime after 3:30pm Monday-Thursday. I have horseback riding on Friday and on weekends. I’d love to fit your pets needs into my schedule! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any household rules. I understand that pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, companionship, and reassurance while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. During walks, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to their energy level, behavior, and surroundings to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. Whether your dog prefers a brisk walk, a run, or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing opportunities, I adapt to their individual needs. I always use safe handling practices, stay alert to potential hazards, and make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. My goal is for every pet to return home happy, healthy, and tired from a fun outing!
“Becki did a great job caring for our two dogs. She is a great communicator and sent photos each day! She left our home cleaner than she found it. We plan to use Becki again!”
About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.
“Genesis is so sweet and a true dog lover. Our senior dog took to her right away. She followed our instructions perfectly for a quick weekend trip and communicated frequently. I got a kick out of her smiling and waving to your doorbell camera every time they went out for a walk :)”
“Cindy was a great sitter for our pup. Cindy followed all directions provided, was attentive to our dog and had really good communication while sitting. Our home was left in great condition also. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kyle was awesome. He sent regular updates & photos. The boys seemed like they didn’t even miss me when I got back they were so well taken care of! I knew they were in great hands. He followed my care instructions as well. He left my home cleaner than when I left.”
“Skyler was awesome as always! Pleasant to communicate with, liked by my critters, very attentive to instructions, and excellent with updates on how the animals are doing. I would highly recommend!”
“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
About: Experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages as well as special needs and administering medication. Have worked in a dog kennel with up to 15 dogs. Can stay in your home weekends and so week nights depending on proximity to my home. Dogs will be let out minimum 4 times a day I will always ensure your pet is safe and within viewing even if they are property trained as accidents can happen within seconds with animals.
About: I am in my senior year at Grand Valley State University as a Fine Arts Major. I feel that my love of animals and flexible college schedule would be a great fit for offering pet sitting services! I grew up with our family dog that we sadly put down right before I left for college. I miss having a pet around and would love the companionship as well as extra income for tuition. I love dogs and cats and will give them the love and attention as if they were my own. I am a self starter and able to comply with any special needs or requirements for your furry family member! I am very flexible currently during the summer months to fit most requests. During the school year Friday-Sunday is wide open, with potential ability various times through the week. Proximity to Allendale during school months also gives added flexibility. Overnights are always a possibility. I very much appreciate the space of my clients and their privacy. I try to ensure that when I stay in a clients home that I leave it in the same condition or better than when I found it. I want limit any disruption to your furry family member as much as possible. I know how important it is to follow any rules/procedures put in place for the safety of your pet and your property.
“This was our first time using Rover and having someone other than family watch our pups. Michelle was great about getting all of the details before the stay and really helped make us feel at ease! It was great having the option for our pups to stay @ home while we were out of town and could really tell they enjoyed hanging with Michelle.”
“Andrea took such great care of my dog, who after the weekend was happily tired out and had obviously gotten lots of love and cuddles! Andrea was also respectful of my home, leaving towels hung up, and cleaning up after Enola in the back yard. 10/10 reccomend!”
“Lillie was great, and Gilligan seemed right at home with her. She made sure to provide updates and send pictures. I really appreciated her staying in touch and I plan to use her again in the future!”
“Anna B did a GREAT job with my Gatsby. He was well cared for and I would definitely recommended her. She communicated well and was very understanding of all my instructions for my little guy. Thanks Anna. I hope that you would be willing to come back? She's great and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of puppies to the elderly dogs. Treat them as though we are a pack or family. Have had to take care of a high anxiety dog that required meds and territorial dogs. Coexistence is key. This is my full time job so I take your pets care seriously. I learn their cues to when need food, water, and outside time. I require detailed instructions written out so as to best take care of your fur baby. I like to get to know them to provide the best care I can.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dorr on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dorr. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Dorr 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 Dorr 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.
Tip: 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 Dorr 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
