“I am so grateful for the wonderful care Chandler gave my two very shy and finicky cats while I was away for the week. It takes a special kind of patience and kindness to win over cats like mine. Knowing he came by twice a day to feed them, water them, and keep everything clean gave me such peace of mind. I was truly relaxed knowing they were in such caring hands. Thank you again for going above and beyond for my furry family members! I’ll definitely be asking for you again when I go out of town!”
“Angela was wonderful. She posted pictures of our pups and kitty cats regularly for us while we were on vacation . We highly recommend her for your pets while you are away.”
“Marlee and Apollo became fast friends. You can tell he is elated when she comes over to check on him. She makes sure he's a happy and well-cared-for puppy. I highly recommend Marlee!”
“Joni was excellent! The pictures and summaries of each visit made it clear everybody was very will taken care of. My pets can be a bit of a handful, but they all took to Joni right away. She was communicative and responsive throughout my trip, and it really gave me the peace of mind that my fur babies were in good hands!”
“We had Rachel do drop in visits for 9 days. She did an amazing job. I’m so happy we were able to rely on her to care for our cat. A wonderful and reliable caretaker. Thank you so much, Rachel.”
“Briley was a very good listener which was important to me since I've got an elderly cat. She was friendly and easy to talk to, prompt with care and I appreciated her level of communication. Thank you Briley, we will rebook for sure!”
“I was really nervous to find a pet sitter through Rover, I've never had to leave my dog with a "stranger" before. My dog is also a giant breed, which can intimidate people or make them nervous. Alyssa was great from the very start, my dog loved her right away which put me at ease. She didn't even care about his drool lol Alyssa is great with keeping in communication, providing updates and pictures after each drop-in. I was able to actually relax while being out of town knowing my baby was in good hands. I would recommend her 1000% and will def. book her for any future trips.”
“Good care provided to pups and cats. They are also good communicators. They let us know when they were concerned about the animals. There was also the complication of our house being on the market to sell.”
About: I feel I am great with interacting with animals. I make sure they are shown love when I am with them and I make sure they are well taken care of and in a clean area. I will be a college student and will use my free time to make sure your animals are cared for. Some days I may not be able to but I will do my best to make things work. Our dog is treated with love. She is like a human in our home. She eats with us at the same time and gets to play and hangout with us wherever. We take her on walks and we make sure she is loved.
“Jessica did a phenomenal job looking after my clowder. She went above and beyond looking after my fur kids. I could not be happier of her awesome care while I was away and knew the cats were in great hands.”
“We’ve used Skylar twice now and both times have been so awesome. She communicates clearly with the visits and takes great care of our dog and cats, two of who are very senior and require special medication and treatment. They love her and were comfortable with her even the super shy one! Highly recommend.”
“She has great communication, she was constantly sending pictures and she even let me know of a leak that happened in my apartment! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Took on a last minute request for a drop in and was very accommodating. She took plenty of pictures which reassured me that my pup was taken care of. She even topped off her water before leaving her. I will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Tobie did an amazing job with our two Sheepadoodle pups! One is 16 months and the other 11 weeks old. Tobie was timely and l very flexible as our needs changed throughout the week. I would recommend Tobie to anyone that loves their furry four legged pets. We will definitely be using her services in the future! The Blair Family”

Ava was very responsive, nice, and did an excellent job communicating any changes. The kitties seemed to love her and I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies. :) She was also kind enough to bring in the mail for us on our extended trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lansing on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,533 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lansing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
