“Jordan was great! Our pups loved her. Cuddled up to her right away. Sent photos and updates every day. Already rebooked with her for our next vacation in a few weeks.”
“Carolina demonstrated great care of our hound and followed all instructions during her stay. She sent regular updates and communicated clearly throughout. Returned home to find the dog happy and the house in order. She even flicked on the outside lights before leaving. Highly recommend!”
“Alex has been extremely professional and is very responsive. After her recent stay over the house was left in good condition, she sent regular updates of our dogs (with pictures!) and overall has been a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Christina is excellent. We were nervous about hiring someone outside of our friend/family circle to care for our two dogs and two cats. And for an extended period of time: 16 days. And during Christmas and New Years - Christina was amazing. She is responsible and caring and reliable. We were able to meet a couple times before the scheduled date to go over things and that helped not only provide her with the information to care for them but it also helped me feel comfortable to know she was willing to meet and took the responsibility seriously. My animals were all well cared for. They were happy and content when we got back even though they missed us. We are all so thankful for her care and attention and dedication to the job and our animals. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been animal sitting for about a year and a half now I love doggy babies! My experience goes from boarding at the owner’s house for up to three weeks or just drop in visits whatever’s needed of me. I can move my schedule around for you! If your dog likes to chill I can chill if they like to play let’s play! I currently work part-time and I’m not in school so I’m able to move my schedule around to fit the needs of others! As long as it’s the day I have available While I don’t have a dog I’m able to learn whatever is required to be meet your dogs needs. If they need help all I need is for you to tell me how to help them and they’ll be taken care of!
“This was our first experience with Rover and Rebecca surpassed all our expectations! She seemed very kind and gentle to our little, old girl. She sent us videos and photos regularly and texted us when she had questions. She left our home as neat and tidy as when she arrived. This was the first time a family member didn't watch Nellie and we were a little worried, until Rebecca came to visit. Will definitely recommend both Rover and Rebecca!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters and fish for almost my entire life. I am very passionate about animals and would love to meet yours too! I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks. I never miss giving my cat Shiraz a full, healthy meal and making sure she is healthy and up to date on all of her vaccines.
“If you give dogs treats after they go outside, they will be much more interested in doing so in the first place. Giving them beforehand is not a proper way to train a dog. Thank you for your help!!”
About: In our home, we are big snugglers. Our two dogs, Benjamin and Franklin are very well trained and love being with other dogs. Our dogs are like our children and we want to treat every pet that stays with us, the same way. Our two boys love having friends to play with outside and don’t mind sharing their space. We have a three bedroom home with a large backyard. I’m a stay at home wife and my husband occasionally works from home. My availability is very flexible and accommodating. I will be here when you need me. :) *Our home has a big fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. It also has a camera in the backyard, the side door where they go potty and in the living room to monitor safety. *We are also conveniently located near Auburn Hills, Rochester and Troy. We are just a 15 minute drive from these cities. Please note: we do not accept any pets without a "Meet and Greet" session. Meet and Greet is when you come over to my house to meet all of us and see if it is a good fit. It is also an opportunity for you to see our place and get all your questions answered.
“Rileigh watched our two dogs and two cats for an evening. We found her personable, a good communicator, and very timely. She was fantastic with the pets - showing care and kindness to them all. Loved that she sent photos! Definitely would recommend.”
“Ava and Michael took great care of my special needs pup — excellent attention to detail and her needs. I have already booked another pet setting appointment with them and highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve had three family dogs my whole life and have cared for them ever since. My family and friends have always relied and trusted me to care for their pets! I am in school getting my masters in social work. My availability is Monday anytime before 5:30 PM, Wednesday anytime after 2PM and available all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday! I live in a home with a backyard that is great for dogs and live in a home that will feel welcoming and fun to your fur baby!
“I was great having a dog sitter like David, someone who spent a lot of time with my dogs and was very trustworthy. We had good communication while I was out of town. The dogs seemed to really like him. I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets.”
“Sarah was great with our pups and house sitting for us! She sent updates every day with pictures and ran our dogs for a long time every day! We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I have 10+ years of professional experiencing caring for animals as I worked in animal shelter and volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve cared for multiple special needs animals and specialize in felines, but I love dogs though! Especially if your dog loves a loooong walk, I’m your girl! I work full time from home so your pets will have 24/7 care and attention. I will work with your schedule to ensure this is a pleasant experience for you. My preference would be to pet sit at your home as pets enjoy the stability and it reduces anxiety. For the dog lovers, I am a big fan of long walks and play time so your pets will have a lot of distraction. For my feline lovers, I have every cat toy you can imagine and am well versed in the varying personalities they come with.
“Rachel was great with our pup. When she did a meet and greet, she immediately got on the floor and started playing with him. We left Cooper with her at our home overnight and she did a great job sending pictures and keeping us involved. I knew he was in good care.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! My dogs immediately connected with her. She sent updates daily and left my house as clean as it was when we left for the long weekend!! I highly recommend Elizabeth! She’s a Very nice and personable person”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Angelus
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Krista. We were out of the country on an extended trip and very worried as this was the first time our Loki would be alone for 19 days after Wally passed away in June. Loki saw us packing and his anxiety was high causing him to be a bit unwell the day we left. I called Krista to inform her and she put my mind at ease - she eased my anxiety and i left home feeling calm. She assured me that she would handle the situation. Krista took such good care of Loki - she sent us updates and pictures and followed all the instructions i had left for her. Our neighbors messaged me to say how well she was taking care of Loki - She left our home in impeccable condition and we returned to a happy and healthy dog. I highly recommend Krista to anyone- you can rest assured that she will take great care of your pet and home.

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 Lake Angelus 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 Lake Angelus 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.
Tip: 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 Lake Angelus 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
