“Our extremely shy cat hides from everyone, but actually sits at the door waiting for Evelyn to come over. We’ve had people volunteer to cat-sit for free, but we’d much rather pay Evelyn all the money to be our cats’ best friends when mom and dad are out of town!”
“We’ve solely utilized Megan for the past four years and we couldn’t be more grateful! As always, we appreciate her taking care of our dog while we take care of ourselves outside of our home. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Kylie exceeded my expectations during a drop in visit with my 15 week old puppy. She is also very accommodating and great with communication. I’ll definitely request her for future visits!”
“My kitties appreciate Chetoya’s visits. They’re super shy but will come peek out and eat when they see her❤️❤️ She is responsible and always responds quickly. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who would love the opportunity to care for your pup. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is taking care of your dog, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your dog’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention during the day, or a quick potty break and playtime, I’m here to help! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Woods, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Shores, and St. Clair Shores. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. ❤️ I can’t wait to meet your pup! I am available Monday through Friday from late afternoon through the evenings for drop ins and walks. Saturday and Sunday I am available throughout the day! I have had help with a professional trainer for my own two dogs so I am comfortable with crating, fenced and unfenced yards. As well as any other requests you may have
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben was timely, communicative and respectful. My 2 dogs can be a little raucous with short visits and he seemed to handle it with ease. Great price too! I will use him any and every time I can. A+”
“My doggos had a blast! Great comforting experience while momma and dad were away for the day. The treats at the end were so nice and above and beyond! The photos were awesome! We will definitely use your services again!”
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!
“Nicole is wonderful with our dogs! She takes excellent care of both our puppy and senior pup. It gives us so much peace of mind while we're at work knowing that they have such a kind and compassionate caregiver stopping by. She is flexible and accommodating when our schedules change. I highly reccomend her services!”
“Ashley was so amazing during my whole trip! She was super flexible and very detailed in her updates plus tons of photos. Definitely will be booking with her again next time I need to go on a trip 💖”
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.
“Keira did a great job taking care of my rescues, a 13-year-old boxer mix and a 2-year-old mastiff mix, on very short notice and provided up to four drop-in visits to let them out, walk them, and feed them. She provided plenty of communication and came over the day before my early-morning departure flight to meet with me, the dogs, and get to know them, my house, and the neighborhood, which was great. My son had been watching them for the past two years, so I hadn't needed anyone else. But he's going away to college, and I needed to find someone reliable and local, and I'll definitely use Kiera going forward! I'm so grateful I found her on Rover and look forward to having her help again.”
About: Dogs are the best. I had a Boston growing up and he was the best. Having a dog taught me a lot. Let that’s experience be beneficial to you!

About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, big or small. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, rats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish! I have experience giving injections and oral meds and I’m super comfortable with doing so. Also, I have experience watching pets post-op, as well as puppies and dogs with anxiety. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but would love to care for your pet on weekends and evenings. I’m available most weekday evenings for walks or drop ins, and I’m available anytime on weekends for walks or drop ins. I’d love to be a great companion to your pet while you trust me with their care. I love playing with high energy dogs to get their energy out, but I also respect pets who need chill/alone time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Woods
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!!
Joshua was excellent with the kitties and took great care of my home! He left wonderful updates and pictures every visit, and made sure the shy ones were accounted for and safe. I could tell he really cares about the cats and I’m so appreciative for his care!
Heather was able to respond to a last-minute request and took fantastic care of our two cats! She was reliable and provided detailed updates and photos and even brought her own toys to keep them entertained while we were gone! We will definitely ask Heather to return again
Mary took fantastic care of our cats. She’s so patient with our shy Gus, who has finally decided that Mary is a-ok. Gino, of course, is her biggest fan. We have zero concerns leaving them both in Mary’s care - she provides great updates and pictures and both boys are well loved while we are gone. We can’t ask for more! Mary also went above and beyond taking in very large packages that came while we were away - it is much appreciated. We already have Mary booked for our next trip!
Jenna provided exceptional service taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I really appreciated the pictures from each of her visits and was impressed with the overall cleanliness - one of my cats is a messy eater! - when I returned. I am so grateful to have met Jenna and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .

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.
