“Kara is fantastic! She responded to a very last minute request for our rambunctious young puppy and absolutely did not disappoint. Her communication, punctuality and compassion really made her stand out. First time Rover user here, and could not be more grateful we found Kara. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs and I have owned a dog for 40+years. I raised German Shepard and Pitbulls. Sadly, I lost both my Pitbulls last year. I love to walk dogs and snuggle as well. I am a retired teacher. I am trustworthy and understand the importance of loving and caring for all dogs. I am retired so I have flexibility. I am very busy with my grandchildren, but again, I am flexible. I will keep pets over night. I live in a condo and the community welcomes pets and there are all kinds of breeds. There is a nice grass area to walk the dogs with a lovely paved 1 mile loop to walk through a beautiful community.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”
“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”
“Katie is awesome with my cat! She clearly loves animals and is patient with letting them get to know her; she doesn’t hesitate to message with questions or answers, and somehow manages to capture the cutest pictures to share while I’m away! 100% recommend her!!”
“Natalie is just WONDERFUL! What a Godsend, I really appreciate her loving care of my puppy while I’m gone!! She’s true to her profile, loves animals and my dog loved her right off the bat! that is a great sign of a trustworthy and honest person, and yes indeed Natalie is! Hopefully one day she’ll meet my scaredy cats, but for now she is taking really good care of Lila. Definitely book with her, you won’t regret it!”
“Michelle went above and beyond. Our Walter is such a lover boy and we never want him to go a day without the affection that he so needs/wants so needless to leaving him for vacations is hard. Michelle gave him so much love and attention that we were able to actually relax on vacation. We got a ton of pictures and detail updates everyday! We will 100000% be booking her again. We can’t thank her enough for the love and comfort she provided our old boy.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while their families are away. To give some insight on my experience, I have volunteered at my local humane society, caring for both dogs and cats. I then spent some time as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility where I cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. That experience alone taught me the importance of patience, routine, and attention to detail, especially when it comes to special diets and individualized care. Over the years, I've also been the go to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. At home, I'm owned by my sweet gray cat, Misty. Keeping her happy has made providing constant love and companionship second nature. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched, they're being cared for like one of my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!! 🤍 I'm currently working full time in the restaurant industry. 90% of the time my schedule is 4pm-11:30pm Fri-Teu leaving some midday and late night availability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if your request falls outside of my availability as I may be able to accommodate if there's enough time ahead. I look forward to meeting you and your furry pet! 🤍 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet receives personalized care based on their routine and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, ensure plenty of exercise and give endless affection. In clients' homes, I respect their space, maintain their pet's normal routine, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“I am so happy Sara is on Rover! She has watched my cats and dogs for years. Knowing Sara is caring for my animals gives me peace of mind. She checks in on my girls while I am at work. I know my pets are safe with Sara. Just meeting her you can tell she truly loves animals! Penelope & Mille are so excited to see Sara again soon! Thanks, Sara!!”
About: I love animals and have experience caring for family pets. I am responsible, dependable, and will make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and will treat every pet like my own. I am currently working at a senior assisted Living home full time. My availability is anytime after 3:00 PM on most days. I am off work on Thursdays and Sundays, so I am available anytime on those days. I am happy to work around my schedule and provide flexible pet care when needed. I have a lead, a dog and cat to keep your animal comany! If needed I do have crates. They also have a lot of toys to play with.
“Amie has great communication, is thoughtful and thorough. Our cats really enjoy having her when we are away and seem very comfortable with her. We are always grateful when Amie is available to take care of our furry family! She's excellent every time!”
About: I have always been around animals my whole life and grew up with multiple pets, caring for them since they were babies up until they were seniors. I’m 25 years old, going to school at Eastern Michigan University to become an elementary teacher. I’m very active and love to be outdoors! I love and treat my pets as if they were family and plan to do the same for your fur babies! I‘ve cat sat for my aunt and uncle and have pet sat for my friends and family as well as past clients on rover, and have worked on a farm in the past caring for horses, barn kitties and dogs. I really enjoy caring for all animals and i’m looking forward to care for yours as if they were my own! I’m a fast learner and very dependable so if your pets need any special treatments you could just let me know and show me how you approach it and I will do the same! My late St. Bernard was on heart medication so I know how to trick even the stubbornest dogs to take their pills or eat if they’re old and don’t have much of an appetite as they used to. I have recently moved to the Howell area and live in an apartment, however my complex is super dog friendly and my apartment has a big (unfenced) yard behind it (would have to keep your dogs leashed if they’re boarded here) with many trails! I’m looking forward to hearing from you and taking care of your furry friends 😊🐾 My schedule is very open for the summer, since I’m on summer break before I begin student teaching in late August. I’m available Monday-Friday, as well as some weekends! I frequently dog sit for my friends and family, with most of my experience being with dogs between a year-fourteen years old, and same goes for cats. When I enter someone’s home I make sure to never approach their pets and let them approach me (because I know it can be nerve-wracking for them to meet a new person at times). I usually let dogs out every hour or more if needed and enjoy going for walks with them or playing fetch or any other games to keep them entertained. I follow the instructions given by the parents of our fluffy friends very closely, feed times, medicine times, treat times, etc. If I need to I usually set reminders so I have a backup reminder if needed. Along with caring for their pets I also clean up after them, litter boxes, toys, their outside duties, and whatever the pet parent instructs. I currently just moved to the Howell area and have not gotten a pet of my own yet, however I can pet sit your pets at my apartment if they’re potty trained, or can take care of them at your house as well!
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Howell is $20

Emma was my first choice for a sitter, and I was not wrong! She was on time for our meet and greet, she was very considerate of our wishes, and she went above and beyond. I forgot to set out a pretty important tool for her to complete her task. Thankfully Emma found the tool and resolved the issue! We will call on her again, she is worth it!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Howell on Rover is $22.2 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,673 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Howell. 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 Howell 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.
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 Howell. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
