About: Experienced as a dog owner and foster care provider. I’m well versed in a variety of dog breeds, ages, and personalities to meet your dogs needs. I work a hybrid work schedule and can set my own weeks. On days where i’m working in office I can offer evening drop ins only. Weekends I will have more flexibility to offer morning and midday or multiple drop ins. Safety and trust are very important when working with animals. On walks they will have my full attention and I will discuss any potential concerns with the owner. Knowing if your dog tends to be reactive on a walk or if they tend to pickup things they shouldn’t, will help me to keep them safe and provide the best care. In your home I will follow the guidance you set out so that your dog is comfortable and safe.
About: I work in the medical field as a PA and also have a love for animals. I have my own dog and have grown up with dogs so I am very capable of caring for them! Caring for my own pet, Duke, and others fits wonderfully into my daily schedule. I do work during the days but often find myself coming home early. We do almost daily walks in the mornings or evenings and have lots of play time inside. Weekends are filled with outside activities such as dog parks, walks, or enjoying the day inside with friends. I live in an apartment downtown Detroit close to many dog parks as well as easy access to the riverwalk and other trails. My dog roams freely in our apartment/sleeps with us as any guest pets are welcome to do as well, unless specified otherwise by owners:)
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit wary but Hannah made it so easy and worry free. She was respectful to my home, communicative and so sweet with my senior cat. I felt comforted that while out of town that my cat was in good hands. I plan to use Hannah again when I’m out of town next.”

About: Both my parents are veterinarians, so I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a turtle. I have tons of experience with animals, and would love to meet yours! I would love to come walk them, take care of them, and give your extended family some extra love! I work 9-5 but can work around that schedule & am free on weekends! I love to take my dog on long walks, and love to hangout with cats and play with them. In my home I take very good care of my pets and check on them often.
About: I have grown up around dogs and have volunteered with the Detroit Dog Rescue, so I have had experience with a wide variety of dogs. Wherever you are with your dog (e.g. training programs) I will follow that--I do not want your dog's schedule or routine to get disrupted while you are away. I understand how to approach dogs, no matter the size. I am a Real Estate Agent, so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere, so you’re dog or cat will get all the attention! We will go on walks, play, exercise, etc. I am comfortable working with animals of all sizes, various breeds, and all ages. I understand that pets are a part of a family and I want them to still feel that way when you are gone for the time period where I am watching them. I have administered insulin to a cat before, and other medications to dogs as well. I am a Realtor so I can work from home or leave your baby for the day while I go to the office. I do have some unplanned events for work, like showings and closings, but I will give him or her the best attention he or she needs! I will follow the rules you set for your fur baby. I will be sure to send you pictures, videos, and updates every day you're away.
About: Playing, walking, and pet sitting , I've cared for friend's and family's dogs and cats for several years. Big and small, old and young-- I love all breeds. My current schedule is very flexible. I can be available for your pet any day or time of the week! Need a midday drop-in? I'm your girl! I always like to do a meet and greet with parent and pet to gain trust and familiarity with you before leaving your pet with a stranger for the first time. At the meet and greet we can discuss your pet's needs and my duties as a caretaker. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water. I like to encourage them to play, give plenty of attention, and make sure they use the bathroom while I'm checking in.
“Jason provided excellent care for my kitten and went above and beyond the normal care I would have expected and provided regular updates. I would look no further for someone seeking a trustworthy person to look after their pets.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I personally have 5 animals, 2 cats and 3 dogs. One of my dogs has severe anxiety, I know his triggers and what to do to get him comfortable I work full time, Monday-Friday 8-5. But I am willing to do anything after work. I play softball at night but I am always home after, so no one sleeps alone or in their kennels. I personally have a fenced in yard. If I am at someone’s house with a fenced in yard, I will walk outside with them first so I know the yard. I will always pick up after the dogs on walks or even on a daily basis.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.

I Currently work full time, Monday through Fri day 9am-6pm so would primarily be available Friday evening through Monday morning. I there is an emergency or if you have adequate office accomodations at your place of residence I would consider weekday availability on a case-by-case basis as I work remotely, usually from home. I would prefer instructions on what is needed for each pet; location of food, any special dietary or medical needs, playtime preferences, any particular routines or behaviors that are important or would make them feel comfortable.
About: I have owed my own pets,Dogs,Cats,turtle I have also attended to my friends and family's pets when they go out of town. I love animals. I am available mostly after 3 and evening to go let your pet out for a little while. Throw a ball with the ones that like it. Keep them happy I will stay the night if needed I have my own two dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Stephanie! 🐾 I work full-time from home for Rocket Mortgage, so I’m home pretty much all day and your pup will have lots of company and attention while they’re here. I have two Pomeranians of my own. Luna is my “Covid puppy” and definitely the social butterfly of the house, while Cosmo is my sweet 14-year-old senior boy. Having a senior dog has given me lots of experience with the extra patience and care that older pups sometimes need. There’s also a baby in the house, so definitely a busy little household! The dogs are very much part of the family and I’m used to having a full house. We’re on a large corner lot with a fully fenced-in yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space for potty breaks, hanging out and getting some fresh air. We’ll still do walks, of course, but having a secure yard is definitely a nice bonus! And when it’s time to come inside, there’s a nice comfy couch right by the window where the dogs can keep themselves entertained watching everyone walk by. 😂 If your pup enjoys a good neighborhood watch spot and barking at the occasional passerby, they’ll fit right in! I’m pretty flexible when it comes to what your pup needs. Special diets, medications, potty accidents, extra walks, a specific routine, or just a LOT of cuddles are all totally okay with us. I know every dog is different, and am happy to keep them on whatever routine makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, send pictures and updates, and make sure they get plenty of attention while they’re here. I know leaving your dog with someone can be stressful, so my goal is for you to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own. 🐶❤️ I would love to have your pup come hang out! Our schedule is pretty relaxed and flexible! Since I work from home, I’m able to give the dogs attention, potty breaks, walks and outside time throughout the day rather than keeping them on a strict schedule. We’ll follow your pup’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding times, medications, naps and whatever they’re used to at home. There’s plenty of time for walks and supervised yard time, but also lots of lounging, napping and hanging out with us. Basically, the dogs get to go with the flow of our day. If they want to play, we play. If they want to nap on the couch and watch the neighborhood, that works too! I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a large corner lot with a fully fenced yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so pups have plenty of secure space to get outside. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day and able to keep a close eye on everyone. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, medications, special diets and the occasional potty accident.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up around pets, I naturally took on the responsibility of feeding, walking, training, and giving them lots of love. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family with their pets—whether it’s overnight care, daily walks, or drop-ins. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m confident with basic training and handling different temperaments. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning or later in the evening, I make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I provide pet care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely, whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or any special instructions. I keep things clean, respectful, and calm to make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home like it’s my own and every pet like family.
“For the first time I left my 4 cats with someone that I did not know at all and fore sure I was worried about it. But Alan gave me a sense of confidence when we met for the beforehand visit. Easygoing and flexible, he sent pictures and comments everyday. He followed instructions which is important. I highly recommend Alan as pet sitter and will call him back for my next trip.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe
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!!

Kelsey was absolutely incredible in caring for my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks. Never did I feel overly concerned about the care being provided, and she stayed in great communication, updating me on things that came up. My dog can be an absolute spaz if there’s a lack of interaction/activity while I’m traveling, and after being left in Kelsey’s care, I arrived home to find him curled up on the couch relaxing, unphased I was even home. I would definitely recommend Kelsey if you’re seeking somebody knowledgable and trustworthy to look after your beloved pet/home!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Grosse Pointe is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
