About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family bred Australian shepherds. I’ve owned small dogs like a Chihuahua and big dogs like Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience with just about every breed of dog. I grew up in farm land and I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I’m a pitbull lover as I currently own one. I love being outdoors and giving lots of cuddles! I currently work full time in a school so I get plenty of time off including holiday breaks and summer hours. I only work 7 hours a day Monday-Friday. So I’m available for overnight care. I’m available most weekends as well. I would feel more comfortable in your home so your pets don’t get any anxiety being away from their safe place. I’m trustworthy and reliable. I’ve had background checks and I have reliable sources. Your pet will be in good care with me.

About: I am a stay at home mom with 2 school - aged boys. My kids love dogs almost as much as I do and are very good at helping out with them. I have been a dog owner for 30+ years and our dogs have always been treated like family, including having their own Christmas stockings. We adopted our sweet senior rottie mix, Roary, back in 2023 and our indoor/outdoor kitten, Biscuit, in 2025. I will only care for dogs in my home that get along with children, dogs, and cats so everyone will feel comfortable. If your dog plays well with others, (s)he will be treated as family! I work from home, so I spend the majority of my day at home. Your pet will not be alone for long, if at all. We live on 3 acres and while we don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will spend plenty of time outside (on a leash) and be walked around the yard every few hours. I currently work from home. I will be able to take your pet for multiple walks daily and attend to their needs consistently. Even though I work from home, my time is important. Last minute requests will have a $25 charge added to the booking. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a good amount of property and will walk your pup throughout the day. If they need more exercise, I do have a long lead I can put them on to play fetch or just run around. I do not allow the pups to be outside unsupervised or unleashed at any time.
“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

“Rebecca was SO good with our boys! They don't love strangers but she was so patient with them. She arrived on time and spent some quality time with them and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. We will be using her again in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was young! Growing up we had dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens and more. I have taken many veterinary medicine related classes as well as exotics. I can care for senior pets, puppies, and everything in between with the same love and care that I would my own. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter where I have gained even more experience with animals of different temperaments. Your pets will be safe with me! I currently work full-time but I am always looking to switch up my routine. I am awake early for my job so walking or taking pets out for the bathroom and breakfast in the morning perfectly aligns. The same goes for when I am home from work. During the weekends, I tend to be outside so walks, hikes, trips in the car are frequent. I will follow all guidelines given to me by the pet parent. I will also pay special attention to medical cases, seniors or those who may need it. With me, there will be lots of snuggles, potty breaks, walks, and vital checks (if needed) just like with my own fur babies. I can crate if needed but I prefer not too if it is not necessary.
“Hailey was an excellent caregiver for my beagle! She was friendly, thorough, and punctual. She gave me a lot of feedback from her visits, which was very reassuring. I HIGHLY recommend Hailey for pet care!”

About: I have over 5 years of professional pet care experience and as an emergency veterinary nurse. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I currently work midnights only three days a week, so it is easy for me to make time to drop into your home when needed. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to try to keep their routine and to make it as stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions, if provided, for walks, play time, and any special routines they may have.

About: I stand out as a pet sitter due to my expertise in both training puppies and providing compassionate care for senior pets. My commitment to meeting the unique needs of each furry friend sets me apart from other sitters. Currently home for summer break from MSU! I have a part-time job serving in my area but my heart truly lies with taking care of your furry friends :) In my care, I prioritize a comfortable environment, regular exercise, and personalized attention. I tailor my services to meet your pet's specific needs, ensuring a home-away-from-home experience that keeps them happy and secure!
About: While growing up on a farm, I have always loved caring for dogs, cat, and horses with various needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their four legged companions of all sizes for many years. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy on a fun walk or your cat needs a friendly drop-in visit, I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I currently have a very sweet Australian Shepherd, an extra fluffy cat, and four gentle horses and two donkeys - all with unique personalities and needs. I work remotely from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I'm more than happy to spend time with your pet, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. My backyard is fenced in, with plenty of room to play ball or practice agility. I respect other pet owner's space and home, as well as rules for handling or caring for their pets, ensuring I am both assertive and friendly.

About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.

About: I have been caretaking in many capacities since I was an early teen between babysitting, house sitting, cleaning, as well as taking care of animals with feeding and walks. Currently, my own dog doesn’t take to new pet friends easily so I do not offer to board at my home, but most other services are offered. Any day/time blocked off will be when I am home caring for my 7yo solo, but our kiddo is a big animal lover as well. So, if you and your pets are comfortable with children please feel free to send a message and/or request those days as well. Thank you! I look forward to earning extra income within a community of like minded people! My time is always flexible! I enjoy routines in some aspects of life, but I also love when no day is the same! This makes me able to work with multiple individuals and families and provide multiple services. With a three-day cancelation policy and fair rates, I am confident we will have your beloved family taken care of within your timelines. In your home for sitting and drop-ins, you can expect me to arrive promptly and treat your home and pets with integrity. Your fur babes will be comfortable and treated just as if you were there so they don't miss a beat!
About: I have a considerable amount of experience working with dogs on the personal and professional level. Being a dog groomer for over ten years has given me the opportunity to get accustomed to all different breeds and ages of dogs. I've worked with everything from five pounds on up. I have also owned and trained three dogs of my own. I enjoy being active with my dogs. We've done obedience classes, agility, dock diving, and fly ball together, as well as hiking trails or just walking around the neighborhood. I would love the opportunity to get to know your dog. At this time, I only offer day visits in my home. I would be able to provide full grooming services for dogs up to 50 pounds. Rates starting at $25. I do require that you sign a pet care agreement form for day visits and a grooming consent form if you would like your dog groomed. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can explore freely, supervised of course. During the day your dog would have freedom to roam around the house. I do require that your dogs be up to date on their rabies vaccination (need to show proof) and on a flea preventative. I will not book without doing a meet and greet first. We need to make sure this is the best possible environment for your dog and for mine. I am certified in dog first aid and CPR should a situation arise. If I have to leave the house for any unforeseen reason your dog will be crated. This is for your and my dog's safety.
“Alyssa is truly a kind and genuine individual and you can tell just by meeting her and speaking with her that she really cares for animals. My dogs really like her and I feel so much more at ease knowing they are being checked on by someone who will really make sure they are okay. Having Alyssa to check on my little fluff balls makes me feel lucky this service exists. I know it has really helped my pets to feel more calm while I’m at work. Thank you, Alyssa!!!”

“Hannah is wonderful sitter. She was completely accommodating of all of my kitties' needs and very thorough. Her messages and pictures throughout the stay gave me peace of mind while I traveled. My cats are mature and one needed medication which was handled well. I highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,862 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Imlay City. 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 Imlay City 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.

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.
