“I really appreciated Megan dropping in on my pups for a few days! Very consistent on check in times and making sure my fur babies had bathroom breaks as well as feedings twice a day. Will definitely book again when I’m out of town!”
About: Growing up in a ranch in Arizona with five dogs (including two great Danes and one Doberman) and eight horses I started caring for animals at a young age. Oral medication or injections are ok, diabetic dogs okay too. I've personally rescued two dogs in Detroit and still have one, Harper, a Staffordshire mix. I love all breeds and do not discriminate. Have a hyper dog? I'll run your buddy all over town along side my bike. Your best friend will get all the same love and care that you give them. Overnight stays will be full of fun and lots of walks. Daytime visits will always be nice long walks with visits to local parks and shopping areas for maximum socialization and puppy excitement.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13, growing up with family pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to their individual needs and enjoy learning about different ways to support their development, socialization, and overall well-being. Whether you need a trusted dog walker, sitter, or overnight stay for your fur babies, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your pets! I'm currently attending community college and have a super flexible schedule. Please reach out to me with any scheduling questions, I'm sure we can figure something out! I will make sure that your pet gets lots of extra love while you are away, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else that you typically would do.
“Genevieve was responsive, easy to work with and provided great updates when she watched our cat. She was very attentive, and I had the peace of mind knowing my cat was well cared for when we were away. I would definitely recommend Genevieve and look forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.
“Very reliable and professional. We will definitely ask for Nicoletta’s help again! My dogs loved her the second she walked in the door. They’re a little wild but she was great with them.”
“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover currently living with my two dogs, Chip and Theo. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through house visits and dog walking, so your pet is in good hands. I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own. I work in tech so I'm home frequently, meaning your pet won't be left alone for long. I live in a house with a good sized backyard, perfect for dogs to roam, play, and get fresh air When hosting pets in my home, I make sure they have plenty of space and feel comfortable. I live in a house with a closed off backyard, so there is always a safe space to play and get fresh air, plus open space nearby in a quiet, safe neighborhood for walks. They are never cooped up and I am home frequently so they get consistent attention throughout the day. When doing house visits or drop ins, I stick to the pet's routine as much as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter, and make sure they have everything they need. I always keep the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands.
About: I always wanted a dog growing up, and before our family got our own, I would walk, play with, and take care of neighbors’ dogs, and it only made me love them more! I’ve also cared for roommates’ dogs and cats, and have experience with some of the less-fun things like giving pills and medications when necessary. I do work a standard job from 9 to 5, so I would be available to petsit, check-in, or walk on evenings and weekends. If the location works out, I could do check-ins on the lunch hour as well! While I’m not able to have pets over to my home, I am very respectful of others’ homes and spaces, and I recognize the importance of routine in pet care, so I do my best to keep pets happy and healthy and give them the attention they need when you’re not able to!
“This was our first time using Rover. We booked Steven & Linda pretty much last minute since my older cat was diagnosed with diabetes just a week prior to our vacation. He needed to be fed diabetic food and given insulin shots 2x per day so we were in a crunch to figure out how to have this handled before we leave town. Steven & Linda made us feel really comfortable leaving our cat in their care and we knew he was being taken care of per the doctor’s instructions. They gave detailed updates and sent photos of our fur child after each visit. Would 100% recommend them for your pet’s care!”

Paris always does such a wonderful job with our pets. We were able to travel for the weekend with confidence knowing that they were in her care. She is so communicative, leaves great notes, and is able to take care of all of our pets’ special needs (meds, eye drops, dietary needs, etc) with no problem at all. All of our pets love Paris!!

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.
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 Grosse Pointe 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
