“Cassidy took such amazing care of our cat Blue while we were away for an extended period of time. He is normally hesitant and shy with strangers, but it was clear that he warmed up to her right away. She sent thoughtful updates and the best photos, and it was such a relief that I never had to worry once about how Blue was doing while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends/family! ???”
About: I have been taking care of animals from a very young age. I had a variety of pets growing up including dogs, cats, a lizard, guinea pigs, and a chinese dwarf hamster. I have experience taking care of family members’ and friends’ dogs and cats while away or on vacation. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages. I treat every pet like my own and provide consistent, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have extra availability! I should be available any time you need me, but I will let you know otherwise. I will treat your animals like my own, and they will be under great care! I’m an animal lover and animals love me too!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, from my friends to family all having different breeds of dogs! I am very active, so dogs with lots of energy and needing lots of walks are no problem for me! I have dog sit before. I have a love for all animals and whatever comes with them. I am currently working a summer job, mainly all day, but I have no problem waking up early to walk a pet before work or after work, even during lunch! My weekends are normally always free! And Fridays I can tend to the pet more due to having half days. I do not offer services at my house due to having cats who are shy. But in my clients home I will do anything they need me to do regarding their pet. It is my job to make sure their furry baby is in the best hands!
“Bridget was great with our three pups. Having experience with Shibas before, she was able to understand ours (with all their quirks) easily and took great care of them. She was super friendly, professional, and the dogs loved her. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that’s an energetic walk, extra patience, or plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will always treat your pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages after every visit. Pets aren’t just pets to me they’re family. Spending time with them genuinely brings me happiness, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing a wagging tail and a happy pup. I’m available for evening walks and weekends, and my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and full of attention, play, and care. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own, so you can feel confident they’re in loving, reliable hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, and updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring and reliable hands.

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 Lansing 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lansing. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
