“What A Superstar!!!! Audrey was everything I have been searching for in a sitter. Dependable, Clearly cared about the well being of my cats, and showed every day that she wanted to do a good job in all aspects of sitting for my lovely girls. I loved that when she wasn't sure about something, she asked, stopped over for a pre-sit visit to meet my girls and get the layout. And don't even get me started on the photos!!! I have some of the cutest pictures now because of her! I am ridiculously grateful to her for everything she has done, especially after the terrible sitters I have had in the past. She has a new family for as long as she's willing! Can't imagine going to anyone else. THANK YOU AUDREY!!!”

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’ve had dogs my whole life and love them like family. I’ve cared for family friends' dogs for years; I love all breeds and have experience with quite a few. I love spending time with dogs, and I’m happy to help, whether that’s checking in on them or taking them for a walk. I am in between jobs during my gap year while I prepare for medical school so my schedule is open and I am available to help out as much as needed. I care for my own pets daily by spending quality time with them, feeding them, walking them, getting them outside and playing in the yard. I would do the same for your pets and any other special care they need.
About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.
“Lauri is great with our cats and we are so happy to have her as our sitter. I always feel at ease leaving our cats in her care, as she is reliable, communicative and thorough. Both of our cats are comfortable with her as well - including one who is aging and has an ever growing list of medications and quirks that Lauri is patient and wonderful about. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been taking care of others dogs since I was about 14 or 15 since I wasn’t allowed to have a dog in my home. Unfortunately, I’m not in a place to take care of a dog full time, but I love taking care of them for others! Right now I am bouncing around different small jobs that don’t take up too much time of my day, and I like to stay busy:) I am very respectful on clients needs and rules. If there is ever something I consider doing outside of that, I will communicate it well.
About: Pets have been a big part of my entire life, we have always had one in the family home. I currently have two cats of my own, Sebastian and Penelope. The love of a pet is something that is truly irreplaceable. I am that person at a party that makes friends with the pets first, and I would love the opportunity to spend time and play with your pet and show them the attention and care they deserve. Please feel free to message me with questions or inquiries about a future stay, drop in, or walk. Please have an ideal meeting day and time for a Meet & Greet in the case of a requested stay. *I need to meet the pet (and their human) before agreeing to a stay of any length.* I work from home most weekdays and have most weekend free, looking forward to working out a schedule with you!

“Khelsi cat sat for me for 21 days over the winter break. My cat is shy but she warmed up to Khelsi within a few days and began playing with her. Khelsi was very communicative with me throughout my time away and sent me lots of pictures and updates despite the fact that I was in a very different time zone and could not always respond to her right away. She also periodically cleaned up around my apartment and left a sweet gift for my cat and me when she left. This was my first long trip away from my cat and stopped being anxious about her because I knew she would be safe and cared for with Khelsi watching her. Thank you for everything, Khelsi!”

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!!
Hannah does an awesome job visiting my high maintenance Doberman puppy. I always book last minute. She is very reliable, ethical, and has been a lifesaver for our family a number of times. I have full trust in her taking care of my dog and highly recommend her!

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 Woods choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

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.

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 .
