Audrey was an absolute god-send! I'm in the military and was looking for someone to drop in and check on my dogs while I was away. It was quite nerve wrecking as this was the first time in 5 years I couldn't find a friend or family member to take care of them. But, I remembered Rover was quite a trusty service from my own time as a dog sitter on the app and quickly ran to it. The dogs did phenomenal with her, she sent great daily updates, and the pictures she took of them helped me feel at ease while I was away. If she had any questions while I was away, she was sure to message me which was sincerely appreciated. Myself and the dogs liked her so much, I've already booked her for future dates! Top notch dog sitter I highly recommend!

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.

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for, loving and training various dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My wife and I have 3 rescue dogs and 5 rescue cats, plus we regularly foster puppies and kittens. I know how important it is to ensure your babies are in good hands and safe while you’re away! I’ve worked with dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and temperaments over the years and have experience with potty, obedience and leash training, as well as caring for senior animals or administering medication etc. I love every pet as if they were my own!! I work fully remote so am entirely flexible throughout my day, including nights and weekends. I am able to accommodate the needs of the pet whether it involves a quick stop or an extended stay. I will always make sure your pet is secured in a fenced yard or on a leash. I don’t even like to leave pets unattended in the yard without keeping an eye on them. In the house it is important that boundaries are adhered to if there are certain areas off limits, and crate trained dogs are secured in their crate when left at home.

About: I grew up with dogs and found a love for them at an early age. I always had Labradors but love all dogs. I have been dog walking since middle school. I am currently a rising junior at Wayne State University and love all pets but love dogs! I have been dogsitting consistently for family and friends over the years and love taking care of pets:) I am currently a full time student in the fall, but I babysit a few days a week but am home a lot of the time. I do not have a fenced yard, but am very comfortable taking any dogs out on a leash and am comfortable having your pup sleep with me or can have them in a crate.

About: I have 20+ years experience of dog sitting. From bringing dogs to my home and going to other people’s homes. I am a passionate animal lover and will care for your dog like it’s my own. I work from home and have a large fenced in yard. Perfect environment for any pupper! I work remotely from home. So I can give your pet the attention love and dedication that it deserves. I have a senior dog who gets along great with other pups. We get up in the morning and start our day with a potty and food break. Then while I work, Louie hangs out with me. Taking as many potty and play breaks as he needs. I have a very large safe, fenced in backyard and another pup to keep your baby company. Again, I work from home so I am able to provide the dedication and attention that your pup might need. I have a young cat, but she’s grown up with dogs and does great with them. My daughter is also an animal lover, like myself and would be thrilled to have another baby around for us to spoil and love!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to both pets and their routines. I don’t just watch your animals—I learn their habits, personalities, and preferences to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience administering oral and topical medications, working with senior pets, and I’m especially thorough when it comes to cleanliness (yes, I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes!). My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are not just looked after, but genuinely cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. I also set aside time for updates to owners, cleaning, and any special care instructions like administering meds or sticking to feeding routines. Caring for animals isn’t just a side task—it’s something I truly prioritize and enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, playtime, and quiet areas for rest. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication schedules just as you would. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I keep things tidy, stick to your pet’s daily habits, and make sure they’re not just fed and walked—but also mentally stimulated and comforted in your absence. I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

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.

While I don’t have a dog of my own I have two bunnies I adore and, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets for friends and family, gaining experience with various breeds and temperaments. From puppies to senior dogs, I’m skilled in providing personalized care, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I am a recent college grad with a BFA in Fashion Design and Merchandising from Wayne State University. I am currently living in Grosse Pointe Michigan. I as I am a part time nanny, have a relatively flexible schedule, so depending on what your pet’s needs are I would love to accommodate and be of service to you and your pet.🫶 Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I ensure pets are always supervised, and I tailor the care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m mindful of your pet’s routine and create a safe, cozy space for them to feel at ease. With my flexible schedule and experience, I’m able to offer attention and care that’s both nurturing and reliable, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Harper Woods

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Harper Woods on Rover is $15.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,202 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Harper Woods. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harper Woods stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Harper Woods 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. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

To find sitters in Harper Woods with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harper Woods. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
