“Sheila was great with my two cats while I was away for a week! Lots of updates & photos, everything was kept super clean & she even dealt with some upset stomach situations. She socialized and played with my most social cat & took time to bond with my skittish who actually came out for pets at one point - which is a rarity. I came home to two happy cats! I would 100% recommend her & will book again in the future!”
“This is the second time Aminda has pet sat for us, and we will definitely use her services again whenever she is available. She takes excellent care of our cats, is responsive, timely and friendly. Thank you again for everything you do!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life! I have a senior Chihuahua who I’ve raised since she was a puppy, so I understand the needs of both young and senior pets. I’ve also cared for cats (including kittens), and I have pet sat for family members’ dogs, from a young Great Pyrenees and an energetic Australian Shepherd to a playful Beagle and a tiny Pomeranian. Beyond dogs and cats, I have experience with fish tanks, birds, turtles, and even chickens, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I’m responsible, reliable, and truly dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, my schedule is very flexible, which means I’m available most days and times throughout the week. Whether it’s a morning walk, mid-day drop-in, or evening sitting, I can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all owner instructions and keep to the pet’s usual routine. I always ensure doors and gates are securely closed, pets are leashed during walks, and homes are treated with respect. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As a 31 year old who's owned dogs his entire life, I've learned dog behaviour in and out, while I don't consider myself a trainer, the breeds I've owned and work with include hounds, German Shepard/Mixes, Pitbulls, Huskies, etc, I provide a speciality trail hiking experience with your pup! They will be cleaned and checked for fleas and ticks every time, and healthy exhaustion is guaranteed! My entire life I have owned high energy dogs, as a lover of nature I always learned towards dogs that could hike with me through the woods in Rain, Snow or sunshine, after doing it for years for my pups, I want to give other puppies and even senior dogs that feeling of freedom in nature! If your dog needs a companion, my German Shepard Rita can join! If your dog prefers solo hikes or hikes with their siblings that is okay as well! I treat all pets like my own children, same as yours!
About: Growing up I haven't had the opportunity to stay in one place for too long, moved from house to house, I've gotten the opportunity to hang with some amazing animals throughout my life and I've gotten very lucky. I've taken care of multiple litters of cats and seen them go to some amazing homes. I've also had the opportunity to raise 2 dogs from the time they were just little puppies! I've also grown up around reptiles and birds! I can assure you I'm experienced and your pets will be my number one priority. Some info about me I am autistic and fairly bad at socializing so if I seem off I'm just anxious around new people and learning how to communicate properly please be patient with me, I'm trying my best to find employment this helps me out so much with bills so please consider booking with me I'm always greatful. I'm free 24/7 anytime for how long I'm needed I'm happy to work, I take my job seriously, my entire goal is to spend my time looking after the pets under my care. Pets deserve love and attention, playing with toys and regularly being allowed outside of cleaning a litter box for cats, we feed our dogs twice a day once in morning and once at night. Treats can be nice in moderation but not in large amounts... Cuddling is also an amazing activity if your pets enjoy that, they are like children and deserve plenty of love! I am an autistic individual who is incredibly social, I learn quickly and the money helps me with important bills I frequently am short on rent so please consider booking with me.
“Isabelle has filled in annually when our regular dog walker goes south for the winter, and she is excellent! Communicative, punctual and our pup loves her. She is very sweet with him and leaves us great reviews at the end of her visits. We always have peace of mind when Isabelle watches Norman!”
“Kristina is the absolute best with my dogs. I used her M-Th for months and just backed down to when needed,only due to niece moving in and her ability to let the dogs out during the day. I catch myself still sending her pics of the pups because I know they miss her. She sends updates and pics at every visit. She does extras for them as well as gifting toys that I know they love. If you're looking for someone extremely reliable and trustworthy, look no further. She is fantastic.”
“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”

My dog has been an escape artist and liked to try and eat everything in sight, so I've always kept good attention to pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Inkster
Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Inkster 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 Inkster 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 .

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 Inkster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
