“So pleased with Becky! She came on such short notice not once but twice. On a holiday. I asked her to feed my pup one meal (special diet right now) and not only did she feed him but also washed his dish. Highly recommend her!”
“Our dogs LOVE Jamie! She is great at communicating with us when booking and during her check ins with our fur babies! If she ever has questions or concerns, she’s always reaching out which makes us feel even more comfortable with leaving her with our babies.”
About: I have over 60 years of experience caring for my own pets as well as those of family, friends, and others. I have a genuine love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Growing up, I cared for cats, dogs, chickens, and horses, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals. I am comfortable administering oral medications, caring for puppies, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets need. My goal is always to ensure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I am retired I spend a lot of time with my grand kids but I have lots of time to spend with your pet while you are gone. I spend time with your fur baby and showing them loving care and attention as well as following their owners orders and directions to comfort their owners while they are gone!
About: I have been dog sitting for many years. I have stayed at peoples houses and i have done drop in visits. I also have experience with giving dogs the medications that they need. I have a very flexible schedule right now so i can pretty much be there for your dog at almost any time they need me. I have a dog of my own so i am experienced. Dogs are my favorite animal, i love to spend time and play with them. I would consider myself one of the biggest dog people you will ever meet. I love all kinds of dogs from all different shapes, sizes, and breeds. I hope you will consider letting me meet and become good friends with your dog :) I have dogsat since I was fourteen years old. I’m obsessed with animals and dogs tend to be my best friend I walk my dog all the time. I will do whatever you tell me to do I will feed them the times you tell me too and try my best to stay on their daily routine because I know it’s hard for animals when their owners leave them etc.
“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”
About: Over the years I have watched friends, families, and coworkers dogs. I’ve watched up to four dogs at a time. I grew up with dogs in the home and I just love being around animals. I maintain an active lifestyle so incorporating dog walks, outdoor activities, and playtime into my day feels very natural. Caring for pets is something I enjoy, not just a responsibility. Although I work outside the home most days, I occasionally have the flexibility to work remotely and spend extra time with pets. I prioritize making sure each pet receives the exercise, attention, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. I like to understand what the clients current routine is with their pet and what is normal for them. I follow whatever instructions are given.
About: I had a dog for 6 years and have taken care of many cats for friends. I love animals but can't have any pets in my college dorm... so I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away! I'm a college student and I make my schedule so that I have a lot of free time for myself. When you book, I'll let you know the specific times I can drop by! In your home, I'll follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way you always do. I'll treat them like my own and follow the routine they're used to :)
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: Just being around animals makes me happy. I work full time as a vet assistant, but looking for a side job to do here and there. :) ** My schedule varies, please reach out** :) I work full time, long hour days so I do have more days off, currently I am looking for drop ins or walks for now! Safety is #1, communication is a must, being able to get your little fur baby out and about is important and fitting all your needs is as well.
About: Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have my own 10-month old yellow Lab, Moose, who keeps me active and has given me even more experience with training, playtime, walks, and all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with having a young dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I’ve also fostered two German Shepherds for several months until they found their forever homes, and later fostered two Pit Bull/Lab mixes through No Dogs Left Behind. I also regularly help care for my parents’ two Labs, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I’ve even participated in the Leader Dogs for the Blind 5K for several years to support their mission. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care. Depending on the service, I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, feeding, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always do my best to keep their normal schedule and make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away! I work from home full time and work on Mountain Standard Time, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes mornings especially convenient for walks, drop ins, and spending time with pets. Since I work remote, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent work schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday and have more flexibility in the mornings and throughout the day. I also spend a lot of my free time with my own dog, Moose, so I’m very comfortable incorporating walks, playtime, and outdoor activities into my routine. On weekends, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, working out, hanging out with Moose, watching sports, and getting outside. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable & cared for! I live in a spacious, gated apartment community in a quiet and pet friendly environment. While I don’t have a private yard, there are several walking trails nearby, as well as a dog park within my neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’m very mindful of safety when caring for pets and always keep dogs leashed and supervised while outside unless they are in a designated, secure dog park. My apartment community has safety regulations in place, and because not every building is pet friendly, there is a comfortable number of dogs throughout the community without feeling overcrowded. My own dog, Moose, lives with me, so I’m experienced with maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for dogs in an apartment setting. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, house rules, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.

Becky was amazing. I needed a sitter at the last minute (2 days before a vacation that was planned for over a year) and she was so accommodating. I always worry and feel guilty when i leave my pets and I was extra stressed because our meet and greet was only a day before we left. She was so communicative with her texts and pictures. I could see that they were getting lots of love and attention. When we arrived home my pets hadn't missed a beat. That tells me that they were well taken care and loved Becky. I would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again.
Taylor has been absolutely amazing with Bodhi! From the very beginning, she has been so patient, kind, and genuinely caring with her. It’s obvious that Taylor takes the time to get to know Bodhi and allows her to become comfortable and build trust at her own pace, which means so much to me. I’ve really enjoyed watching Bodhi become more comfortable and excited about spending time with Taylor. You can tell they’re developing such a sweet bond, and knowing Bodhi is with someone who is attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoys being with her gives me so much peace of mind. Taylor is also wonderful about communicating and keeping me updated. Most importantly, I never feel like Bodhi is simply another appointment on her schedule — Taylor genuinely cares about her and it shows. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for a very special member of their family. ❤️🐾🐾
Katelyn was extremely attentive with our two cats and sent lovely, detailed summaries each day. Our cats loved the time she spent with them and they were very comfortable playing with her and being brushed and petted by her. We would definitely ask her back again! - Amy and Claudette

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Orion is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,368 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Orion. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Orion. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
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.
