“Christina was fantastic, she came and spent time with my cats while we were out of town for a few days. She was kind and responsive and she sent us pictures of our fur babies at every visit. We highly recommend her if you are in needed of someone kind, caring and responsible to watch your furry friends.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 3 years. I have 6 of my own currently, 3 dogs and 3 guinea pigs. I love walking and hiking and I love to have puppy buddies that tag along. I am serious about checking for ticks especially with the rising amount this season so the owner is aware as soon as possible. I have full afternoons open almost every day of the week, this gives me something to work on in my free time, and what better way to spend my free time than with dogs! With my consistent schedule, it makes checking in with your pet easy. I can almost always fill any special requests your pup needs. I will always make sure their water is full and clean and have them all set when you get home
About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! I provide pet care full time, helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a trip, or to go to work, it makes me happy knowing I can help out people and animals who could use an extra set of hands. I have an active personal life, always making plans friends and family, but offering services on here allows me to plan my leisure time around times I'm needed for pet care. Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help answer anything that could cause you worry. Your pets are part of the family and I understand staying safe is a priority. When I personally am trusted to stay in someone's home, I usually stick around the same area of the house out of habit. I keep food where it belongs to prevent mishaps, and keep things off the floor to prevent injuries of their me or pets. When going for walks I like to stick to trails or sidewalked areas that have decent cell reception, just in case. I keep treats with me, extra bags, and have a phone holder for my wrist so I can have a hand free, especially for dogs who get excited from wildlife and could suddenly pull really hard anytime. I keep a pop up bowl and a bottle for water breaks. Before going for longer walks I touch test the path in case they are too hot. I also have experience putting jackets on dogs in the colder months.
About: I have 5 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with medications, senior dogs, puppies, and providing regular updates so owners feel at ease. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including weekends and Holidays With 5 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand how important safety and trust are. I always prioritize secure walks, supervised care, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe
“Ashley is very reliable and always keeps us updated on the kitties eating patterns and behaviour while we are gone. This allows us to adjust anything and keep them happy. Less stress for everyone!! I highly recommend Ashley.”
“I've got a bigger and very energetic dog so I've always been nervous about getting a sitter for him, but Kerry has been absolutely wonderful with him. She's gone above and beyond what I've expected and really shows love and concern for him and the house. I'll definitely be using her again and again going forward.”
“Alexis always goes above and beyond! Tons of great photos, always keeps the house how we left it, and even watered some plants for us. Our dogs always love to see her and makes our trips care free!”
About: Hey there! I'm a lifelong dog enthusiast with over two decades of hands-on experience in canine care. I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of others' pets since childhood. I have a 3 year old Retriever now who requires not only physical exercise but mental exercise as well (think doggy puzzles, sniffing games, training sessions, etc.). I understand the importance of a well-exercised and well-loved time for you pet and am committed to providing engaging activities that cater to these needs. My approach includes interactive play, positive training sessions, sensory games, and outdoor adventures, all designed to enrich your dog's life. My dog care services include house sitting, meal enrichment prep, basic training, puzzles/game time, baths, check-ins/outs, dog walking, and pretty much whatever else your dog needs! As a dog parent myself, I understand how much time and effort goes into making your pet's life special and the quality care that you want for them while you're away (or simply need a breather from every day life)! I work fully remote from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to live out my love of caring for dogs throughout the week! Potty breaks can be as frequent as every 0-2 hours as needed, and there will be multiple breaks throughout the day to play and run around. I have a very safe home for dogs, meaning, it’s puppy-proofed. There are not many things your dog can “get into” that they are not supposed to - raising a puppy in my home has taught me to anticipate things that could cause potential harm, fear, etc.! I have different sized crates and a large play pen that your dog is welcomed to use if you'd like. Some dogs love quiet time in the crate and some prefer to be out in the play pen or feel more comfortable free roaming -- whatever your dog requires, I'll try my best to accommodate! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play. As always, I'm more than happy to provide FaceTimes, pictures, location tracking, whatever will make you feel the most confident that your pet is in great hands!

“Molly was great! My cat is very shy with newcomers. I fully expected her to not come out when Molly visited but my cat immediately warmed up to her. It felt great to know that my cat was having fun and getting her daily cuddles when I was away. I also loved how Molly would send pictures after every visit. I would definitely recommend Molly.”
About: I’ve been watching pets since I was a teenager. I love animals and am very experienced. I love playing and cuddling with them. Whatever their energy level is I am happy to match. I’m currently a full time student. I’m free during afternoons and mornings. I just have to walk to class twice a day from noon to three. I am very attentive to what your pet needs. My dogs are super high maintenance so any level of care needed I am prepared for in making sure your animal is happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Orion
Tim took wonderful care of our dog, Honey, for 8 days with twice-daily visits, and truly went above and beyond. He spent extra time with her, treated her with so much kindness, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When it snowed, he even shoveled our walk! An incredibly thoughtful gesture that says everything about the kind of person he is. We are so grateful for Tim and would trust him again without hesitation

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 Lake Orion 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.

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.
