“Lukis took fantastic care of my cat, an almost 8-year old sassy orange tabby. This was over thanksgiving week, and Lukis was extremely communicative, kind, and caring. Thank you so much for your fantastic care - I will definitely be booking with you whenever I am in Detroit area!!”
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
“JJ was fantastic. She housesat my cat and dog, who were clearly extremely happy with her. She sent regular updates and left the house even cleaner than she found it. Would not hesitate to book again.”
“Yet again Hannah did an amazing job taking care of our pup. Our trips would be so much more stressful if we didn’t have the peace of mind of having here with him! Thanks as always”
“Nicole cared for our 2, high maintenance Great Danes for a week in our home. She was fabulous. Our younger Dane has separation anxiety when we leave. Nicole was able to conquer his anxiety and gain his trust quickly. He was going outside ,eating and playing with toys. The older Dane was receiving his own attention and playtime. We came home to happy dogs, clean house and delicious cookies. I’m already booking with her again. She’s a gem!”
“We are so grateful to have found Hanan to care for our fur baby, Wallace. From the very start she was responsive, kind, and completely on top of everything. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos so we always felt connected, and it was obvious Wallace was happy and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra thoughtfulness she put in, like providing great training tips, tidying up, and making sure everything was just as we left it. She even held off on running appliances since Wallace would be home alone, which says so much about her attention to detail and care. It’s clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Wallace, and he adored her right back. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! You just found your dog’s new favorite auntie◡̈ I’m currently a student and working from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety & happiness of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.
“Theresa and Adrian are amazing dog sitters. They took such great care of my one year old French bulldog, Maximus. He just loved both of them! They are truly such lovely people. I would highly recommend their dog sitting services. ❤️”
“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”
“I knew my cats would be well taken care of the first day I met Erik. He has a long history with cats and understands what my cats need. He is dependable and reliable and pays attention to details. He also has a great personality.”
“Maciyah was so great with my dogs and they were instantly comfortable with her during our meet and greet. I also hot tons of pictures during her stay and came home to a super happy dog, I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. I work part time on a flexible schedule and can easily fit most visit schedules into my day. I take the time to earn an animal’s trust, and go at a speed they’re comfortable with. If your animal wants me to pet and lay with them and brush them and play with them or anything else, I’m there! If your pet is more lowkey or independent, I check in on them and make sure they have everything they need. I look to care for your specific pet, not just check in and call it a day.
“Allie was so great with our 4 year old pittie mix! She took incredible care of both our pup and our home while we were gone and updated us throughout our trip. We will definitely be using Allie again and highly recommend her!”
“Elana did a great job taking care of my pups . 3 dogs 3 personalities and she did great with all of them . I’d highly recommend Elana to take care of your pets !”
About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.
“Khelsi is truly the best. I was extremely nervous leaving my little man with someone new. My previous sitter, who was not Rover-related, was not the best fit. Khelsi came to the rescue. She's extremely professional, attentive, and caring. I travel for work and am over the moon to have found her. 10/5 stars.”

Nicole took great care of our pets while we were away! Our cat requires medication at regular intervals, and Nicole took it very seriously and sent us lots of updates. We were very confident everyone was taken care of and the house was in great shape when we returned.
Sylvie is our go-to sitter when we have a quick weekend trip or need someone to watch our 3 critters for the night. She’s a great communicator and we always know they’re in good hands. We highly recommend Sylvie for your animals; they’ll be well loved and looked after.
Sarah took such good care of Teddy & Sparky! She was attentive to them, as they sometimes have a bit of separation anxiety and really like human contact at home. All the instructions I left were followed to a T. And, I received several updates and photos each day. I so appreciated the care Sarah provided my pups. I will gladly book her for another house sit/dog care.
Allie was responsive and sent messages about Piper and Miffles every day of our trip. She accommodated my pup's temporary stomach issues and got her back on track with regular diet without additional guidance and sending plenty of updates. Our home was left just as clean as it was when we left. Would book again! Thanks, Allie!
When I say Heather is phenomenal— I mean it. I can go anywhere in the world knowing my boy is cared for and that he gets to do all the things he loves. If you’re looking for someone to love your kiddo like he’s their own, Heather’s got you. Every time she’s watched my baby she has not missed a single beet. I also get the cutest photos ever from her 🫶 and she leaves my house better than she found it every single time. Beyond grateful for you, Heather!!
Kate was THE BEST as a housesitter/animal caregiver. My job was complex: I have multiple inside cats and regularly feed feral cats on my front porch. In addition, I have a rescue dog who can have emotional issues as well as recovering from a recent injury. Kate handled everything as I would have. Her frequent updates and photos showed me my babies-relaxed, obviously content/loved. I came home to a spotless house and my animals happy to see me, but not frantic for attention. I’m so grateful to have found Kate & will use her services whenever I travel again.
Eric took excellent care of Koda while we were away on vacation for seven days. He was very communicative, respectful and followed Koda’s care instructions very carefully. He sent regular updates and confirmed time of arrival and departure which also made me feel at ease while we were in the midst of traveling. He also took good care of our house, leaving it super clean, if not cleaner than how we left it. When we arrived back home, Koda seemed very comfortable and content. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone else looking for a trustworthy sitter. Plus Koda was happy to make a new friend :) thanks again, Eric!
Thank you Katherine! I felt totally confident leaving my babies in her care! She was great at communicating, letting me know how they were doing and sending pictures. Highly recommend and I will definitely be contacting her again next time I have a trip planned.
Areatha was great with my cat, Agatha. She sent photos and videos almost every day so I knew that Agatha was being well taken care of. She was very responsive to all my messages before and during the sit. When my flight home was cancelled and I had to take a flight the next day, Areatha was great about watching Agatha one more day. I highly recommend her.

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 Hamtramck 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 Hamtramck 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 Hamtramck 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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
