“Erin was great! Thank you so much for the many pics of Cheeto and Frito! Seeing how happy they were gave me such peace of mind. I could tell they were very well taken care of. Thanks, Erin for your services! Cheeto and Frito have a new friend. I will definitely call Erin again!”
“Felicia was awesome. She took great care of Gnocchi and regularly sent a bunch of pictures, which were soo appreciated - she also takes great pet photos! I will definitely look to book with her again if the need arises. Highly recommended!”
“Erin was amazing! We have two cats who are very cautious of strangers and one of our cats loved her immediately. She did things for us not expected and always gave us updates of her efforts to warm up our elusive kitty. Would definitely have her care for our kitties again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 for family members and friends. I’ve been relied on to take them in on walks and feed them. I’m working part time and have lots of time on my hands.. I love working with animals and am able to care for them often. I can easily take care of your parents throughout the day in your home or neighborhood or in my home. I look forward to helping take care of your pets.
About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.
About: Starting my experience with volunteering at my local veterinary clinic after school, starting in elementary to high school, that i now work part time at! A Rescue dog mom of two and two bunnies! As a part time bather with four fur babies of my own, i’d love to share my free time caring for those needed to be cared for. I take extra time to ensure your pets safety every visit by ensuring all gates and doors are shut and latched throughout visits, refill food/water when needed, check the security of collars, harness and leash before exiting home, be sure to secure your pet in a safe space in your home before leaving your visit, and send photos of your pet with any additional notes and information!
About: Hi ! My name is Cat, and I currently reside in Waterford, MI. I am an animal lover who grew up with cats and dogs my whole life, so I definitely know what I’m doing when it comes to taking proper care of pets. I currently do not own any pets, so I truly enjoy being able to be help people with their furry children! Every time I hang out with friends you can always find me sitting with their dog or cat on the couch 🐶🐱 I enjoy pet-sitting as a way to be more active outdoors, earn extra income, and be around some cute dogs and cats ! My experience thus far includes watching my next door neighbor’s three Shih Tzu dogs (approx. 7 years) along with their 4 ducks (approx. 4 years), my sister’s Golden Retriever and 3 Domestic Shorthairs (approx. 5 years) and my parent’s chihuahua (10 years). As well as many other friend’s and acquaintance’s pets on and off Rover. I am currently a part time student for the summer and only have online classes. The remainder of my time can be spent devoted to your beloved pets ! I live in an apartment, so I would prefer only hosting small pets. I am totally open to dog walking/house sitting. I have references available as well.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
“We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!”

“Brooke was perfect for my dogs :) definitely rebooking with her! Brooke was very responsive when setting up a meet and greet for her and my furry babies. We have been trying to find a reliable and responsible dog sitter and I think she is the one. She was patient with the puppies and very tentative about all the information we gave her. The dogs loved her right away. She did all her check ins on time and made sure my dogs were well taken care. Thank you Brooke!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drayton Plains
My husband and I have had several cat sitters for our very loved cat. Kristy is by FAR the best we have ever had. She is warm and caring, reporting any differences she sees in Tully’s behavior and eating habits—and gives him the best ear rubs and cuddles. Our sweet boy loves her. We leave him in Kristy’s care with peace in our hearts. Kristy is exceptional.
Claire took excellent care of Merlin! We’re very happy with the care and attention she gave him during both visits. She took him outside for potty breaks, walked him, played with him, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Claire with Merlin again and highly recommend her! 🐾
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!
Samantha was an excellent drop in sitter for my cat while I was out of town. She was easy to communicate with and I am extremely pleased with the care she provided for my creatures. Extra things like keeping an eye on my gecko's auto-water system and filling the bird feeder so my cat could be entertained really gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!!
Our experience with having Ashley watch our cats while we were on our honeymoon, was nothing short of perfect. She made sure to ask questions about our little guys, including their preferences, their favorite toys and ways to best interact with them, and what really made us feel like she was the right choice, was she made it a priority to do whatever she could to ensure we felt comfortable. She knew our little guy Ralphie, (a very sensitive and socially needy pandemic kitten) was a concern for us when we were gone, because he really needs lots of love and attention, and she sent daily updates along with photos of both boys, and videos of playtime. We felt so at ease knowing she was there with them, and focusing on doing whatever they needed, and it really gave us the opportunity to relax, knowing our little guys were happy at home. We cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% reach out to Ashley the next time we need to go out of town. She was an absolute delight and we are so grateful to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
