“Kathy is the best sitter I have ever had. She kept me informed and sent pictures. She knows how dogs think. She was able to understand what our dog wanted. Our dog missed us but was in the best of hands with Kathy. We will always want to use Kathy when we have to leave our dog for any reason.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I am glad it was with Kati!!! Kati was great with our Bennie Jet! She was sure to keep us updated consistently. Would 10/10 recommend anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
“We went on vacation for a week. We were nervous because we'd never left our dogs with anyone we didn't know before. Our kids are grown and adulting too far away to help and their friends are too! Keegan made it much easier! The dogs loved him and he sent us daily updates. Highly recommend.”

Since I was 13 I have been taking care of my families/ friends pets & used to dog walk for the people in my neighborhood before moving. I have my own cats named mace and lili who are both indoor. mace is a nebelung who I rescued from a barn at 6 months and lili is a mixed breed who was given to me at 3 months. I live in a condo complex with a nice sidewalk as well as a park nearby to play at! Not only am I a respectful and trustworthy person, but can assure you that your furry friend is in great hands when they are with me. 💕 I am a mother, have a degree in holistic medicine, student, and own my own pet service company! I have a pretty open schedule until I start school again and am available all throughout the day 7 days a week:) My cats mace and lili are both indoor cats. They have plenty of space to roam including a screened patio to bird watch on as well as a massive cat tower with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I feed them both wet food twice a day and they free feed on dry.
“Melissa was fantastic with Gracie! She kept my updated regularly with pictures and videos and my pup went from sad that I left to the happiest little pup! It was so reassuring that she was in such great care! I look forward to booking with Melissa again!”
About: I’ve cared for my own pets my for my whole life. I also watch my neighbors pets occasionally. My own senior cat requires iv fluids. Please note: To ensure a smooth schedule for all pets and families, I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are respected and that you arrive at your scheduled time. If you anticipate being late, please communicate with me as soon as possible. Thank you for helping me keep my schedule running smoothly and allowing me to provide the best care for every pet! I am a stay at home homeschooling mom with a 13 year old and an 9 year old. We all love pets and can give your pet the attention needed while you’re gone. I have experience caring for dogs with Megaesophagus, including proper upright feeding (Bailey chair use), monitoring for regurgitation, and keeping them comfortable and safe during and after meals. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and careful observation to help prevent complications like aspiration.
“Michael made our pup with extreme separation anxiety feel comfortable. He obviously has a love of dogs and we are delighted to have found him. He was very punctual and communicated very well about arrival times and his availability. I would highly recommend him.”
“Sarah was great with our pups and house sitting for us! She sent updates every day with pictures and ran our dogs for a long time every day! We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my Goomba for me while we were on vacation! She arrived promptly on time and was very communicative. Goomba didn’t even know I was gone until I got back. She was very accommodating and responded promptly to all messages. If you need pet care in Flint, call Brooklyn!”
About: I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens/reptiles. I Currently work as a licensed veterinary technician and have been in the field for 7 years! I do work longer hours, usually 3-4 days a week but if I need to take them to work with me, I can! I work 8-8 but the days change each week! If you don’t have a fenced in yard i’m comfortable walking your pet on a leash to go outside, would feel more comfortable versus relying on recall!
“Carolyn took great care of our dog Bailey while staying in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful about keeping us in the loop—sending updates and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Bailey is an older pup who needs medication and a little extra TLC, and Carolyn handled his routine with ease and genuine care. It meant a lot to us to know he was comfortable and well looked after while we were out of the country. We truly appreciated Carolyn’s reliability and attentiveness, and we would gladly have her stay with Bailey again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fenton
Mikayla was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away last week. The girls absolutely loved her — they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of their routines perfectly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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.

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.
