“Kayla was so good to our kitties, we can't thank her enough for just how attentive she was to their needs! She is an animal lover and that shows by her care and kindness. We'd never hired a pet sitter before and were nervous because our cats have some special dietary needs and quirky things they need to keep their spirits up. Kayla listened to these and executed them perfectly. She was even able to tell our very similar looking cats apart to address those needs, which most people can't do! And she sent photos and reports that put our minds at ease while we were away. We came home to two safe, well-fed happy kitties. We are very grateful to Kayla for her help with our precious boys, we will definitely hire her again, and we can't recommend her highly enough”

“Amber is so great! She took such great care of our 14 1/2 year old lab. He requires a lot of help and attention due to his age and meds, and we have a hard time finding someone we know ‘gets’ it. Amber totally understood and Gordy was safe and very happy! She is dependable and made it so easy to work together. We will definitely use Amber over and over again!”

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Interlochen, MI. I have had dogs my whole life (2 golden's, 1 half pitbull/lab, and a beagle) and have loved them all very very much. I love taking dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them at the park. I also wouldn't mind taking them to the dog park so they could see all their friends! I am a responsible, caring person who genuinely loves animals and I work from home so have a flexible schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me :) Thanks! I work from home so have a flexible schedule! I can walk/play each day I available and work around my and your and your dogs schedule. I will watch your dog inside/outside, make sure they are safe, going potty (if outside), and staying within their parameters if they have an invisible fence.

About: Over the years l've taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! My friends and family have relied on me to walk and care for their fur babies. A couple years ago I adopted a dog of my own, Buddy :). He is a dachshund mix who loves to go on walks. He loves to chase the squirrels, and I bet yours does also. Excited to meet you and your fur baby or babies! I normally walk my dachshund about three times a day. Normally we go on a long walk in the morning around 8/8:30, and then sometime in the afternoon have another long walk, and then a short walk in the evening. Some days we will go on hikes to experience new smells and new experiences. At my home I ensure that my dog’s water bowl is always full and everything is out of reach. On walks we spend extra time sniffing around, my dachshund loves squirrels for some reason. I want any animal that comes into my home to feel safe.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Karlin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Karlin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Karlin. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
