About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.
“Lynne was such a great sitter for my cat Lily. I loved the pictures and messages she sent everyday. I was flying back home into a snowstorm and she graciously offered to stay with Lily if my flights got delayed or canceled. That was a big relief because I was worried Lily might be left alone for a day. Lynne left my house so clean I could hardly tell a house sitter was there. I will definitely book Lynne again when I need a sitter for Lily in the future. Thank you very much Lynne.”
“Victoria is so sweet and our dogs loved her. She kept us updated on how things were going and was respectful of our care instructions and our home. We would love to have her watch our dogs again. Thank you Victoria!”
“Ebbie did a great job watching our senior dog! We were able to go away for the night feeling comfortable that he was in good hands. Our pup seemed relaxed and trusting around her very quickly. We hope she’ll come back and watch him again soon!”
“Mahina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for my German shepherd for a week while I was away. She sent updates multiple times every day which gave me such peace of mind and my dog seemed to be truly happy with her 😍🐾 my dog had tummy problems one day and Mahina didn’t hesitate to make sure she was all right!! I could not recommend Mahina enough - 1000/10”

About: I've grown up with dogs and pet-sat for family and friends my whole life. After recently coming home from living abroad, I realized I could combine my love for dogs with the need for a flexible work schedule and begin working for Rover. My schedule is wide open. I do not have any commitments as of now. I am able to provide as much care as any dog needs. With my own dog, I take her on walks, feed her twice a day, bathe her every week, and spend all day with her. She's pretty spoiled, haha

After only 7 weeks since his rescue, I wanted my pup to be able to stay in his new home while I traveled for a weekend. I'm so thankful that Elizabeth spent the night as well as took care of him and his schedule during the day. She's his favorite friend so far.
Lauren just watched our two dogs for the third time. She communicates well, sends plenty of photos, and takes great care of our boys. I really appreciate being able to leave town and not have to worry about our dogs and whether they are comfortable/looked after. We would definitely recommend using Lauren!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Inkster walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Inkster maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .
