About: Hello! I am an incoming veterinary medicine student at Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine Program this coming fall. I am looking for occasional gigs in order to pay for certain expenses throughout my veterinary schooling, so I can take care of your furry friends even more in the future. I grew up with my very own dogs and cats, and I have worked within veterinary clinics for the past five years, so I have plenty of hands-on experience to give the best care towards your companions. Unfortunately, I am only available for daily help, therefore I cannot do any overnight stays. However, I can promise that day with be filled with lots of joy! I am currently working part-time with an unpredictable schedule, therefore, I’ll only be able to have daily tasks on my days off. I am very flexible when it comes to coordinating and communication on taking care of your loved ones. I will follow any routine needed in order to ensure safe and calm environment for both me and your companion. I am very patient when it comes to animals, so I’m willing to work on their needs instead of my own.
“Jessa was punctual, professional, and very considerate with my dogs. She is very kind and it's easy to see how excited she is to care for pets while also helping you out.”
About: I have known dogs for about 8 years and worked at an animal kennel for 2 years, taking care of 2-month-old puppies to 17-year-old dogs. I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
“Tashmica took care of our three rambunctious cats, one who requires multiple medications twice a day, with love, joy, and kindness. We are so thankful she was there and we could trust our cats were expertly cared for while we were away. Such a relief!”
“Giada was great with my cat, Apollo. She played with him and gave him social interaction while I was gone and also administered his medication. She was very easy to work with and a great sitter!”
“Madelyn was AMAZING! We only booked her for 30 minutes, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. In that short time, she was able to take my dog for a walk and help burn off some of his energy while I was at work. She was wonderful with communication, and I loved getting to see the photos she took of him during their visit. She also saved me with such a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was available to help with my pup! I highly recommend Madelyn! 🐾💕 Thank you so much Madelyn”

“Louise and I loved Makenzie. Prompt with each visit. Detailed messages including photos. Louise was clearly happy and felt safe with Makenzie. Given Louise’s timidness with new people, is a compliment to Mackenzie.”
“Kaitlyn is a fantastic kitty sitter! She watched our kitten over Christmas and New Years keeping him healthy and happy! We so looked forward to getting her pictures of him each stay and her notes on what’s what! She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of when need be. I highly recommend Kaitlyn if you need someone you can trust to watch your kitty kitty!”
About: Had dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently have 2 senior cats of my own. Home often and open to frequent walks. Dogs must be relaxed around cats if interested on boarding Im a Full time student, at uni mon-thurs from 10-2, otherwise home to take care of and play w/ pets all day most days Safety oriented. Live in an apartment so outside time will always be leashed. Depending on the dog we will play indoors or, if they can be trusted, at a dog park
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra support. I’m fully comfortable handling medications, bedtime routines, walks, and any daily tasks your pet needs. After years of caring for multiple pets myself, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. My priority is always your pet’s well‑being, and I’m committed to giving them calm, attentive, reliable care the moment they’re with me. I’m a Michigan State student with a flexible part‑time campus job, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pet. I don’t work late nights, so I’m able to stay over when needed and assist with morning routines. Early mornings are already part of my day, so handling walks, feeding, or medication right away is never an issue. My goal is to make your pet’s care fit smoothly into my schedule and to keep their comfort the priority every time. I prefer to keep pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. If your cat has favorite hiding spots or cozy places they like to curl up, I appreciate knowing those ahead of time. It helps me keep track of them, avoid unnecessary worry, and make sure they’re relaxed and cared for throughout my visit.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in some aspect my entire life. From walking, to house sitting, to bathing, if any friend or family member needed their doggo taken care of, I was the girl for the job! I am very good with all kinds of dogs at any stage of their life, as I have been dog sitting for various clients for the last 4-years, both on and off Rover. I’m currently a Ph.D student at MSU, so I’m super flexible when it comes to working around clients schedules. I am happy to spend my free time with pups! I always make sure to follow the parent of the fur baby I’m walking or house sitting to ensure that the experience for both the parent and the pup is a pleasing one.
About: Hello, I know you want the best care for your pet. I can provide that! My specialties include: high energy pets, seniors, puppies/kittens, medication administration, large and small pets, and much more. I care for other pets as well, do you have a reptile, fish, bird, other furry friends or plant that needs a drop in? I got you covered. Send me a message to start the best care for your pet/plant while you’re away! I work from home, I am available almost anytime! Just contact me and we will set up a time for me to drop by and meet your pet(s)! I have two dogs. A small Australian Shepherd and a Golden Retriever St Bernard mix. They are both very friendly. I can provide long walks and play time for your pets. I also take care of reptiles, fish, hamsters, plants etc.
About: I was a primary caretaker for my senior family dog and now a full time caretaker for my lizard and two new dogs. All my life I have gravitated to as well as enjoyed pets and the responsibility that comes with them. Neighbors, family, and family friends, have trusted me with their pets after noticing my attentiveness to the care needed to raise healthy and well-behaved pets. I am a recent college graduate in the midst of applying to medical school so I am regularly doing any type of pet-care. I am very flexible and further discussions on schedules are 100% welcome! I have always genuinely enjoyed the experience involved with taking care of pets, including playing with them, and even some of the more monotonous tasks involved. I am open to certain quirks different pets might have, and I will, more than anything else, make sure their environment and experience is safe and enjoyable. Whether you allow your pets more free reign or require a more secure environment, there will be no obstacles to prevent me from fulfilling your requests! Currently I am on a flexible study schedule for medical school studying, meaning that pet care can fit into any part of my day. I am constantly involved with my parents’s dogs lives and managing playing with them or taking them on walks is no problem for me! In my home, pets are treated equal to us. Whether that be making nutritious, homemade food for all pets in the house or making sure that they are healthy and seeing the doctor regularly, my pets are my family! I will always follow all of the rules and guidelines you give me for your pets to ensure they are living their best lives.
About: I’m an energetic, young professional who loves animals! I’ll treat your dog with respect and care for it like I would for my own. I have no problems with cats or any breeds. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs. I currently have a three legged cat. I do have experience with house sitting a Belgian Malinois and a rescue lab (they even had an extra malinois at one time). Overall, I’m looking for a way to exercise more and help others take care of their pets. I also volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout high school and college. I’m reliable and would love to send you photos/videos of your pet to keep you updated and at ease with my care. I work full time in the downtown Lansing area. I typically work 7-3:30 Monday-Friday and can take care of animals before or after. I might be able to adjust my schedule with enough notice. I work most Mondays and Fridays from home and depending on distance, could do lunchtime care. I have two cats that love to dash for the door. I’m very aware of escape artists and how to stop it. I have a catio for my cats to help enrichment. I also love play with the worm on a stick with mine and would do the same for yours. Or I’d just sit and give them company if they are on the shy side. I give one cat a daily pill. I have had a cat with diabetes and can handle giving an injection.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lansing
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!
Carson took great care of our pups. She fed them breakfast and played with them in our backyard for the remainder of the hour drop in. When our pup, Tito, decided to go for an early morning swim in his pool towards the end of her visit, she made sure to dry him off before bringing him in and locking up.

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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
