“Haley did an amazing job watching our two cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very kind, reliable, and responsive, and sent us multiple pictures while we were away. We came home to happy kitties and will definitely book with her again!”
“When Tennille is taking care of my cats, I know they'll be well cared for. It's so good to have someone to trust and rely on, who takes care of the small details, even when I forget to ask, and who loves cats like I do! Thank you, Tennille!”
“We have booked Justin several times to watch our dog when we are out of town. He is reliable and dependable. Our dog can be a challenge because of his size and his reactivity to other animals but Justin handles it well. I would recommend him to anyone needing pet care.”
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Megan was absolutely amazing! She dropped in twice a day for four days for our two pups and our cat. She was on time, communicated with us during every visit, and sent us the best pictures. She also administered our dog’s medicine and played ball with them each time. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely love for her to watch our pets again!”
“Michael Anthony was wonderful with our dog, Honey Bear. She was very happy and connect when we returned after 7 hours away. Michael stopped by twice which was perfect. We will definitely book another day with Michael Anthony.”

“My doggies needed a check-in at the last minute, and Arden was quick to respond to my request and ready and willing to help. My day could have been super stressful, worrying about my doggies while I was stuck away from home. But Arden, who is super reliable, made my day worry-free. Those kinds of seemingly small things make a big difference, and it's clear that Arden understands that. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, my family always had cats and dogs, and I cherished every moment spent caring for them. Over my life I’ve cared for a variety of small pets, including guinea pigs, gerbils, degus, hamsters, freshwater fish, and turtles. I’ve personally raised cats, dogs, and guinea pigs of my own. I've been hired by friends, family, and friends of friends&family to care for dogs as drop-ins, over night stays, and boarding in my home (although I cannot offer boarding right now). Currently, I have a Pomeranian named Bonbon that I raised from a puppy, giving me valuable experience in training and care and motivation to continue learning about dog behavior and understanding their needs, which helps me create a safe and loving environment for pets of all ages. I take special care to follow any dietary or health needs your pets may have. I will care for your pet by paying close attention to their habits and behaviors to ensure I meet their needs while you're away. I work remotely with a pretty flexible schedule and daily work routine - which allows me to step away and do walks, potty breaks, feeding pretty frequently. Depending on the type of care, I would typically need at least 3 to 7 days notice, but don't hesitate to ask if you're in a pinch. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time, but I have experience staying with pets at their homes for up to two weeks. I prioritize following the instructions provided by pet owners and always ask clarifying questions to ensure I understand their needs - communication is key for me, as I prefer not to make assumptions. In emergencies, I remain calm and focused, ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets. Additionally, I respect the owner's home, treating it better than if it were my own.
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
“Kaitlyn is the best. She does drop in visits with my 2 golden retrievers and they love her. She has been very patient with both dogs during their crazy puppy phases. She is reliable and trustworthy.”
About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
“Camdyn is wonderful We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs, Charlie and Puppers, received. From the moment we left, we felt confident they were in great hands. Camdyn kept us updated, gave them plenty of attention, and treated them like family.”
“Amanda was amazing with Dave! It was my first time leaving him alone for an extended period of time and she made sure to give him the love and attention he needed, even coming back an extra session to make sure he was eating and using the litter box! I got the cutest pictures while I was away too”

I recommend Nicolas very highly. I only asked him to check in on my goldfish pond and make sure there weren't any issues such as the water level getting too low or the predator net shifting out of place. He seemed very conscientious, taking notes while I talked to him about the things to check for with the pond. He went above and beyond to sit and watch the fish for a while and give me a report on their behavior, as well as checking that my garden plants looked like they were doing OK and everything looked secure at my house. His updates were very detailed and fun to read and he sent photos. I was very impressed.
Michael has taken care of our cats twice now and I am very pleased with his work. He makes sure that they are fed, have water and clean litter. The pictures he sends are reassuring that my cats are safe, and well cared for. He also takes the time to play with the cats. Also, he is very respectful of our home, our animals and us. I highly recommend him!
Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our feisty cat, Mipha, who usually does very poorly with sitters and is prone to separation anxiety. Samantha made sure Mipha got plenty of treats and attention, and was very patient with her even when Mipha got defensive. Samantha is clearly very experienced with this kind of behavior and understood immediately that Mipha was setting her boundaries with an unfamiliar person. Samantha communicated with us consistently and gave us detailed updates on her behavior and mood throughout the week. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to look after our spicy kitty!
I had to book fairly last minute and I was super lucky to come across Megan. She was very professional, easy to communicate with, and gave my cat so much love and attention! If anything Megan has made it difficult because I now have another wonderful sitter to choose from!
Bernice was incredible!! I very rarely ever leave my dog, but she made me feel so at ease knowing that he was in kind, caring, & attentive hands! She took great care of my dog, & was also great with providing updates and photos to ensure I was always in the loop. I would rebook her in a heartbeat, & highly recommend her for any pet care needs! Very grateful for the care she provided my dog.
Kaitlyn did an amazing job looking after our two cats while we were on a 10-day vacation! She was responsive and thorough in her daily report cards, which was so nice to read while we were gone. She even got our very stranger-averse cat to come around, which never happens. We will absolutely be hiring her again in the future! Couldn't have asked for more.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lansing on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 779 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
