“I am so happy I found Evelyn to watch our little girl hope while we're at work! She comes to our house and takes her outside and hangs out with her! She sends pictures and tells you how the stay went! I feel like she goes the extra mile which I love! Thank you so much for taking care of our girl while we're at work!”
About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.
“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
“We would definitely recommend Heather as a very caring and dedicated pet sitter. Her care of the details is impeccable and she provides great peace of mind while you’re away.”
“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!”
“Emma is AMAZING! She kept us up to date on all of our pets (even our pig)! She maintained a tight schedule, provided photos, and made sure to give each of the pets runs. We would highly recommend her services.”
“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 a wide range of animals since I was young. Whether it was cats, dogs, pigs, hamsters, fish- I’ve always made sure they were living the highest quality of life. I’ve dealt with dogs with a lot of health issues such as epilepsy and brain damage. Cats with hairball issues or ones that take a lot of medication. The elderly and the young. No matter what I always put their well-being first. I plan on doing this full-time for right now so I am available any day any anytime of the week. My schedule is very flexible. At the time, I am not doing pet care at my home but when I am at a client home, of course, it is up to what they would like. Though, for the most part, I am very laid-back and I have no problem with your pet sleeping or being out with me. I’m fine with taking them out as much as they need to go. Also, if they have certain schedules for things, I make sure I am right on time for it such as medication or feeding.
“Mary took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, keeping them happy with plenty of playtime and attention. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands!”
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!
“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!”

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.

“Audrey took great care of our 3 cats and our home while we were out of town! She provided daily updates with lots of photos that we looked forward to getting every day! She is very responsible and followed all our instructions. Don't hesitate to book with Audrey, we have already booked with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have availablility all summer for walks, potty breaks, and puppy help. Would love to help! I’m a teacher so I will be home and available all summer. I have a lot of flexibility to help with whatever a pet owner may need. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old female labrador.

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.
“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!”
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! I am currently unemployed so I am available most days. I can drop in mornings, evenings, and nights. I love going on walks so let me take your dog along with me. I treat animals with care and respect. I treat them like they are my own animals. I respect boundaries and want to make the animal feel comfortable

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harper Woods
5 stars every time. Heather is meticulous about understanding our multi pet households needs and preferences to ensure the best possible care. She has come to be an integral part of any travel plans. She is communicative and consistent with updates and pictures to ensure peace of mind back home. She is trustworthy, dependable and an animal lover who genuinely cares for our family. Thank you so much, Heather!
Could not ask for a better friend for my bunny! Super kind and trustworthy. I sincerely appreciate the adaptation and willingness to care for an “exotic” pet (like Mochi’s not just a little puppy cat). Everything was perfect and I came home to a very happy bun. Thanks a bun-ch! 🐇
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!!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Harper Woods is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,210 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harper Woods. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harper Woods. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
