About: With 9 years of experience caring for pets of all types and sizes, from dogs and cats to livestock and farm animals, I’m passionate about providing attentive and reliable care. As a full-time teacher, I’m working to supplement my teaching lifestyle while doing what I love—spending time with animals. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands! I am currently a full time college student, studying Elementary Education. I'm looking for work on the weekends, as I am nearing graduation and need to fund a classroom that fits the needs of my students! I love to stay active, so pets of any energy level are welcome. I provide personalized, attentive care for pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, treating each one as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their unique needs to keep them happy and comfortable. In your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away!

Our pets are part of our family and should be treated as such I am available any time other than Sundays to provide excellent care and enrichment for your pets, including emergency calls. I know how busy and chaotic life can be, and sometimes circumstances call for last minute changes My top priority in this line of work is safety, for you, your pets, your home, and myself. I have worked with animals my whole life and understand how they communicate their wants and needs, and I strive to make sure that your home and pets are always returned to you in the same (if not better) state than when I arrived

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and have a good understanding of how to care for them in different stages of their life! I have been with my dogs since they were 1 year old until death. I have personal experience with medium and large sized dogs but am happy to care for any sized furry friend! Whether your pet is a cuddler or likes to be alone, I will always curate my care around what your pet needs and is comfortable with. I am a Junior at MSU studying Human Biology and hoping to become a doctor. I also work part time as a LMT so even though I have some time I’m out doing things, I have good sized gaps in my day to allow me to care for your pets! I am quite the homebody too so I do not mind spending time with your pets overnight or for long times! Other than the basic food and water, I am always ready to play with any pet. Whether roughhousing with a dog or playing with a cat in one place. I am also an active person and am more than happy to take your pet on a walk! I have experience with pets being scared during thunderstorms and use multiple techniques to calm them in their distress.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 14. Both friends and neighbors have looked to me to care for their pets while they’re away. I am currently a doctor of veterinary medicine student at MSU and will be graduating as a veterinarian in 1.5 years! I work with animals on a daily basis whether it be at a farm or clinic. I have years of experience feeding, walking, bathing, administrating medication, and loving on all kinds of fur-babies, from dogs to cows to even cheetahs. If you’re looking for a skilled sitter with lots of experience and knowledge along with a strong passion for animals, I’m your girl! I’m currently a full time student but have free time before, between, and after classes to care for your babies. I’m also available most evenings after 7 and weekends! I ensure that every pet I work with is comfortable and happy, in my home or yours. I’m patient and take time to allow them to get to know me, however long it takes. Depending on the service I will take them on long walks or spend time with them in the yard. I will also ensure that they are fed on time and spend a lot of time interacting and playing with them. I will treat your pet like my own.

About: I am a 39-year-old WFH dog mom with some extra time for more dog walks. I am a huge animal lover and will be sure to spoil your babies! I've had several cats and dogs growing up that were always part of the family. I know how much animals miss their people (and vice versa), so I'll do my best to ease their stresses with lots of love, attention, and activity. I can handle large breed dogs and have had a St. Bernard, Great Dane, and Golden Retriever in the past. I know how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into maintaining a home, so I will be sure to keep it in tip-top shape. I am a NON-SMOKER and do not drink more than a beer or two on rare occasions. I have used TrustedHousesitters in the past and have 3 reviews and 4 references on my profile for that website. I walk my dog twice daily and am able to work around these times. I enjoy getting them out and about. I spend most of my free time with her. If I care for pets in my home, they are leash walked as I do not have a fenced in yard; but I will mostly be walking dogs.

About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.

About: I have been caring and training dogs for over a decade, including experience with large breeds. I am especially experienced with Newfoundlands, Newfoundland-Poodle mixes, Goldendoodles, Dogo Argentinos, and Vizslas. I am comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs and always approach animals with patience, respect, and understanding their individual needs. As a healthcare graduate student, I bring responsibility, attention to detail, and caring communication to every pet I care for. In addition, I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so I'm happy to provide long walks and structured exercise for pets who need to burn off some energy. Come May, I'll have a flexible schedule as I complete the classroom portion of my Doctor of Physical Therapy program. With a lighter schedule and no part-time work commitments, I'll have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain secure handling during walks, and supervise pets closely at all times. I respect each home's rules and routines to ensure consistency for the pet. I am attentive to behavioral cues and changes in health, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary.

Christopher did an amazing job taking care of our boys! They absolutely love him, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while we’re away. He is caring, attentive, and makes sure they are well taken care of. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he provided. We highly recommend Christopher and will definitely be using him again!

The pups took to Michael right away at the meet and greet which was a great sign and made me at ease with trusting our dogs to Michael’s care. Pics and reports on each visit let us know the pups were getting the care they needed. Michael was great to work with and such a nice person. We are new to Lansing and are very glad to have found a new dog sitter so quickly. Recommend!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lansing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lansing is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 November 2026, there are 762 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lansing. 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.

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 Lansing 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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lansing with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lansing. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
