“Katherine took great care of my two cats for the weekend. She did drop-in visits to feed them and clean the litter box. She sent pictures of them each visit. And had great communication about when she would arrive and leave so that I could arm/disarm the alarm system. Will use again!”
About: Dependable and very responsible. Mature, considerate and polite. I have a 20-year-old male cat that I rescued at 6 months old. I understand how important his health is and ensure that his needs are met on a daily basis. I have a pretty flexible schedule and available as well on weekends and holidays. I dog sit for two families, each own labs. I cat sit for my neighbors when they travel out of town for work and family events. I follow the owner's detailed instructions regarding feeding time, medications, etc. None of my dogs have had an accident in the house while the owner is away because I follow the owner's time schedule as if they were home.
About: I have several years of experience of all types of animals whether it be a reptile, fish, and any furry pet! Depending on medication meds I can also provide care when needed. Im currently a medical assistant on her way to becoming a RT. Prior to this I worked part-time at Lou’s Pet Shop where I’d been for almost 5 years and am a current student at MCC. I am very flexible with my schedule especially during the summer so feel free to reach out! I have experience in pet sitting for many years now depending on check ins, staying at the house, walks, etc. Whatever the animal may need we can discuss in detail what is needed!
“The first person that we scheduled drop ins for our pups flaked twice on us while we were out of town… However, Jessica was able to help us out at the last minute and take care of our fur babies. She even sent us a picture!”
About: Hi my name is Sarah, and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old daughter, who is great with dogs and always gets so excited when we get new dogs, and always loves when we see them again. we definitely are an animal loving family! I've always had dogs growing up, and watched my mom's dog anytime she's out of town. My husband also loves dogs and he loves to play with them. I've been doing rover now for 3 years and I love getting to know different types of dogs and meeting new people! We have a fenced in yard that is a pretty decent size to run around and burn there energy, and I normally will always go out with them as well to throw some toys around and watch them run around. We are not always able to give them walks but we try our best especially if the weather is nice. We enjoy getting fresh air as well. But either way I let them run out in the back! I am always taking photos, and will send you as many updates as you'd like. Your dog will always get love and attention here. Like I said I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is super flexible. We always will treat your dog like family. If you let them sleep with you on your bed, most likely we will too! Whatever routine you have for them, I will too.
“We were in a pinch to find someone to let our dogs out. Jenaya responded in a timely manner and even come over to meet our pups beforehand. Jenaya provided medications to one of our dogs who tends to have a difficult time taking his medications with no issues. Jenaya always communicated with us throughout her time spent with our pups. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of pets all my life; from dogs, cats, birds, to exotics like sugar gliders and snakes. I've always enjoyed the different personalities of pets, and caring for them makes for a pawsitively happy day. I am currently a stay at home mother of four. Since they are getting older, I've flexibility in my schedule to share and care for pets. We believe in boundaries, rules and routines. If your pet is accustomed to a specific routine, then ensuring that's achieved, and your pets needs are met, is our goal. We use fencing, crates, and harnesses as appropriate.
About: I have had quite a few dogs and pets my entire life and have a passion for animal care and have been trusted to watch friends, family, and neighbors dogs a lot in the past. I am a college student living at home so my nights are pretty free as well as my days are pretty open at the moment I have a fenced yard and plenty of places for a dog to sleep and play, etc. I am very attentive and make sure the dog stays safe
About: I know how hard it is to leave your pup behind when you head to work or run errands. That’s why I’m here to make sure your dog stays happy, hydrated, and tuckered out by the time you get home. Whether your dog is a "sniff-every-blade-of-grass" explorer or a "sprint-until-I-flop" athlete, I tailor every visit to their specific personality and energy level. The Gold Standard "Pupdate": You’ll always get a detailed summary of our visit, including potty updates and photos of your pup in action. Your schedule is my priority. I show up on time, rain or shine. I am hyper-vigilant about leash safety, sidewalk temperatures, and keeping a respectful distance from other dogs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I’m happy to administer oral medications or follow specific feeding routines if needed.
“Randi was so personable and trustworthy. She seemed happy to help us. We had no worries while we were gone and received plenty of pictures. She even gave our cat the eye drops that he needed. Was so grateful to find somebody who genuinely cares for all animals!”
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 around animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 15. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and turtles, both as my own pets and for others. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away and can send lots of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved! My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and extended stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality and boundaries and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kayla was great with Biscuit!! She provided plenty of pictures and updates. Biscuit is a kitten so he requires playtime and Kayla went the extra mile playing with him. You could tell she just loves cats”
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.
About: As the warmer weather is approaching us, and alot of people are traveling to out of state or even out of the country, I know its very hard to leave your pet with someone or even a big boarding company while you go on vacation. Or even not liking to put your dog through staying in a cage while on an airplane. So I would love to cuddle and give all your pets the affection they need while you're out of town. With you leaving your pet with me, they will get lovings all day every day they’re with me. They will get play time, feeding time, relaxing time, cuddling time, and even walking time! (Swimming time if you allow it) I currently have one dog. Most people are afraid of bigger dogs, but mine is just a big baby, shed like little a little kid most of the time she just sleeps. I also have a kitten that acts just like a dog and then have 3 older cats. They Just want lovings and cuddles. They go out potty every 1-2 hours, because there bladder is a lot smaller than ours. If it’s really nice outside I’ll go in the back yard and play fetch and just run around with them for hours or as long as they want to stay outside. At night she doesn't sleep in a cage, because shes very well trained and don’t potty in the house, but she does sleep with me in my room. I love taking care of any type of animal, because if you can’t help them, who’s going to? They can’t help themself, so you have to help them. When I go to friends houses or even family members houses, I’m the person sitting in the corner with either the dogs laying on my feet and I’m rubbing there belly, or with the cats on my lap as I’m petting them. Animals love me, just as much as I love them. I'm currently a stay at home mom, I'm home pretty much 24/7 and have all the time in the world to play, cuddle, walk, and just lounge around in the house with your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and one dog and a few cats that will keep your family company while you're away. If they need to be crated per your request I can do that as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harper Woods
Chris was super flexible- responded quickly and for a short notice sit at that! Furthermore, he was kind, personable, and professional upon meeting. He did amazing with our crazy, very big, very excitable dog. You can tell he stayed to spend time playing and giving our pup attention. Timely and communicative as well! We will be using him as our first line sitter from now on whenever possible!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Harper Woods is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $41 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.

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 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 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.
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.

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 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.
