“Thalia was good with communication despite us being in an area where we were out of phone range and she was adaptable to our last minute booking needs. She did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs, staying overnight with them and left the house as if she'd never been there. Thanks, Thalia!”
About: Hi! I’m an Animal Science major at Michigan State University (graduating Spring 2027) with a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up with pets, including my energetic Goldendoodle, Bernie, I've developed plenty of hands-on experience managing excitable, high-energy dogs safely and patiently on the leash. Between my academic background and personal experience, your pup’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities. I offer flexible walking availability around my class schedule and would love to meet you and your dog!

About: I am an experienced animal care professional in the Lansing area looking to help assist you with your animal care needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while in my care. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment, follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and ensure plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She took care of both of my babies for me sent me pictures multiple times a day gave me updates and even left the house looking exactly how I left it! I will 100% have her watch them again”
“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”
“Kyanna was wonderful with our dogs! She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly so we knew they were doing well. Highly recommend Kyanna and we will be using her again (:”
“Arden went above and beyond while taking care of our dog and home over a long weekend. It was a last minute booking, there was an errand to run and dog medication to give… Arden was on top of it all! We even received many updates and photos a day on how our dog was doing. We are so grateful!”
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.
“We had another wonderful dog sitting experience with Camdyn. She is amazing with our dogs & they are always so happy when we get home. She is reliable, timely, communicates with us about the dogs & sends pictures during the stay & is very neat & respectful in our house.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra support. I’m fully comfortable handling medications, bedtime routines, walks, and any daily tasks your pet needs. After years of caring for multiple pets myself, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. My priority is always your pet’s well‑being, and I’m committed to giving them calm, attentive, reliable care the moment they’re with me. I’m a Michigan State student with a flexible part‑time campus job, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pet. I don’t work late nights, so I’m able to stay over when needed and assist with morning routines. Early mornings are already part of my day, so handling walks, feeding, or medication right away is never an issue. My goal is to make your pet’s care fit smoothly into my schedule and to keep their comfort the priority every time. I prefer to keep pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. If your cat has favorite hiding spots or cozy places they like to curl up, I appreciate knowing those ahead of time. It helps me keep track of them, avoid unnecessary worry, and make sure they’re relaxed and cared for throughout my visit.
About: I have experience working in vet clinics and working with a variety of animals including farm animals and exotic animals. I also know how to handle animals and look for behavioral signs of happiness or discomfort. I am a student at Michigan State University and am available everyday between classes and the longest I’d be gone would be 2-4 hours a day. I am understanding of an animals adjustment to a new environment, I don’t have any other pets. I live in a one bed one bath apartment and have a fenced in area specifically for animals.
“Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.”
“Tennille bonded with our cat and dog right away and was very responsive to learning about our senior dog's needs. We had great communication leading up to and during our time away.”
“Anel was incredible and I would trust her with my babies again in a heartbeat! She took so much extra care with my new kitten and spoiled my dog!! She was respectful with my home and property, kept in close touch, sent me lots of pictures, and was flexible with my return time. Truly can’t recommend enough. I don’t trust anyone with my animals and it’s wonderful to know I have someone to call now!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgemont Park
Stevie went above and beyond to care for our animals! My husband and I had an awful experience with our airline returning home and we got delayed by almost a full day. Stevie extended her time watching them without question and made sure they were all taken care of until we got back home. It’s so great knowing that our animals are in good hands when we go out of town, we highly recommend hiring her!
Arden went above and beyond while taking care of our dog and home over a long weekend. It was a last minute booking, there was an errand to run and dog medication to give… Arden was on top of it all! We even received many updates and photos a day on how our dog was doing. We are so grateful!
Kaylie was amazing with my senior dog, Roger, who doesn’t yet realize he’s a senior. She watched him over Thanksgiving weekend, dropped in thanksgiving morning, drove several hours to her family dinner, and came back to walk him again that evening! She wasn’t able to stay at my place but made sure to stay decently late and come back pretty early to walk him each day, and hung out most of the day, running an errand here and there. Roger did have an accident at some point, unfortunately not uncommon with his medical issues, and not only did she clean it up with the spray and paper towel I left out, she also ran my carpet cleaner over the spot! Absolutely above and beyond care. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure to put his sweater on when walking him in the snow.

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 Edgemont Park 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 Edgemont Park 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 Edgemont Park 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 , 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 .
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 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.
