“Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs, Lauren! I really appreciate your communication, timeliness, and loved all of the photos you sent from you visit to put my mind at ease :)”

“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.”

“Elizabeth was an absolute joy for my animals. She is also incredibly punctual and always on time. She went above and beyond everything! She took the liberty of picking up after my dog outside and scooped/changed my cats litter [both of those were not expected]. She also went out of her way to bring my trash and recycling to the curb realizing it was trash day! On our meet and greet my large German Shepherd and 2 cats immediately bonded with her, Elizabeth has a gift with animals. I have also used her in the past to stay with my animals for a few days while im out of town. She sends pictures and updates often and I truly felt at ease knowing she was there with them. Elizabeth takes her job very seriously and made sure to really stimulate and play with all of my animals. Whether you need someone to drop by, take your animals for a walk or stay with them for a few days, Elizabeth will absolutely get the job done and more. I will be using her services often!”

About: I use to work on Rover before the pandemic. I loved it, I love animals dogs especially.I have had pets my whole life. I have never met a dog that hasn’t liked me, i also am a reiki practitioner and am always willing to do some on a pet with obviously your consent. I love walking so why not walk some dogs in the process. I’m into fitness and getting into shape and what is the best way to do that then with a pet♥️ I love others pets like my own. I will hug them scratch them kiss them and cuddle them. My animals are spoiled and I plan on spoiling yours♥️
“Shelly was amazing and took great care of my fur baby! She was always in communication with us, accommodating, and extremely thoughtful. We will absolutely be using her in the future!”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
About: My daughter visits from Virginia Beach 3-4 times a year and stays up to 2 weeks with 4 dogs from 40-75 lbs all spayed or neutered I’m recently retired and am home most of the time only driving for errands and appointments. I live alone and would love the company of a dog. My last dog passed away 4 years ago I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate a dog if needed. I have a large backyard and would be willing and able to walk.
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”

“January really went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for the holiday. We loved seeing the pictures she sent from every drop in, and you could tell that our cats were immediately comfortable around her. We’d hire her again anytime!”

About: I’ve been providing dependable, loving pet care for 6+ years, and what sets me apart is the level of comfort, patience, and genuine attention I give every pet I watch. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away not just “watched.” I have experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels, including playful puppies, anxious pets, and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and making sure every pet receives plenty of affection and companionship. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I do work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, but pet care still fits very naturally into my routine and schedule. I make it a priority to return home directly after work to spend time with the pets in my care, and I typically only leave for necessities like work or grabbing food. I’m very routine oriented and make sure pets receive consistent attention, potty breaks, feeding, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day and evening. On weekends and outside of work hours, I’m home much more often and able to dedicate even more time to them. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care exclusively in my client’s home because I believe pets are often the most comfortable in a familiar environment with their normal routine. Keeping pets in their own space helps reduce stress and allows them to feel safe, relaxed, and secure while their owners are away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to ensure they receive the best care possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, so I treat every client’s home with respect and care while also making sure their pets receive plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout my stay. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. 🐾

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’m a proud cat mom to three rescued cats and grew up surrounded by dogs. I also cared for my diabetic dog and became comfortable with administering medications and providing extra medical attention. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have taken veterinary technician classes because my dream is to build a career in veterinary medicine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. 🐾 I recently moved to Michigan, so Rover is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. My typical availability is Monday through Friday, but I understand that pet care needs don’t always fit a set schedule. If you need care outside of those days, please reach out, I’m happy to do my best to make arrangements! 🐾 I currently have three cats of my own, so I prefer to provide care in my clients’ homes where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. However, if needed, I do have a fully fenced backyard and can discuss boarding on a case-by-case basis. I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, carrying treats for positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates to give you peace of mind and let you see all the fun your pet is having. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating them like one of my own.
“Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.”

About: My pets are my family and they are such lovable creatures. I take the time to ensure they are well cared for each day. Know that your pet will receive the same luv and care. As a RN I thoroughly enjoyed “caring” for patients which is just naturally who I am as a person. Since retiring I’ve had more time to indulge in things that I enjoy—spending time with fur babies I find so rewarding—they are always so loving and ready for fun. I have two beautiful dogs of my own that I simply adore. My son often tells me I spoil them both—but their soooo precious! Please trust that I’ll provide care, comfort, and safety for your pets as well. My pets get along well with other dogs and will be sure to help keep your fur baby(s) company with lots of playtime fun. I also have a large back yard for pets to burn off energy. Pets have a dedicated area in my finished basement with ceramic floors (floors are cleaned at end of each day or as needed) for indoor play, comfort and sleep time. I monitor the pets personally when indoors and via cameras at night. Pets are allowed in personal living space if they are house trained.
“Darriell was amazing from beginning to end. Took great care of Zeus and went above and beyond to ensure the entire booking went flawless. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Sarah always goes above and beyond for my cat and myself. She is always looking out for my senior furbaby's wellbeing. I can tell that she is kind, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I am so grateful to have found her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Inkster
Elizabeth took care of my two kitties every day for over three weeks and I could not be happier! I was very worried about leaving them for so long, but she took excellent care of them and even got my very shy boy to come out for some cuddles. The pictures she shared every day and the bonus videos she sent me left no doubt that my babies were happy and healthy and being loved. Thank you, Elizabeth!!

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 July 2026, there are 4,169 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Inkster. 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 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.
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.

- 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.
