About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
About: I love working with animals! I work at a pet boarding facility so I am very experienced when it comes to handling and taking care of a variety of pets. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages. I currently have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I’m a huge animal lover and like to describe myself as an animal whisperer! I am an online graduate student, so I have lots of time on my hands to pet or house sit. I am available most weekdays and weekends and am willing to stay at the location of the the house if needed! I am great at following directions. Whatever instructions are given to help keep your pet safe I will make sure they are met! I bond with animals very easily so I will make sure your pet has a great time, even if they miss you!
“Mckenzie is awesome! Super grateful for her help. She did a drop in visit for my pup and 2 cats, made sure they were set for the night and as always, sent pictures of the pets. Love that my fur babies have a new friend who we’re anll able to fully trust. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family bred Australian shepherds. I’ve owned small dogs like a Chihuahua and big dogs like Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience with just about every breed of dog. I grew up in farm land and I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I’m a pitbull lover as I currently own one. I love being outdoors and giving lots of cuddles! I currently work full time in a school so I get plenty of time off including holiday breaks and summer hours. I only work 7 hours a day Monday-Friday. So I’m available for overnight care. I’m available most weekends as well. I would feel more comfortable in your home so your pets don’t get any anxiety being away from their safe place. I’m trustworthy and reliable. I’ve had background checks and I have reliable sources. Your pet will be in good care with me.
“Jessica took great care of my kitties while I was out of town. I received pictures of them playing, enjoying food and treats. I knew I could enjoy my vacation with Jessica there to care for my animals. I will be booking with her again! Thank you! 🐾”
“Rebecca was SO good with our boys! They don't love strangers but she was so patient with them. She arrived on time and spent some quality time with them and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. We will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have experience in pet care in a veterinary clinic, kennel care, and volunteering at a shelter. I also have experience with all sorts of pets in my personal life including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents. I work from 8am-3pm for my full time job but looking to fill the extra time with some playtime and some doggie kisses! I am available 7 days a week, Monday-Thursday no earlier than 3:30pm for drop in visits. Friday-Sunday I have more flexibility! I care for my miniature pinscher like shes my child. She came from a traumatic home as a puppy and I have been working with her to get over fears and anxieties that come with that and having little dog syndrome. We take daily walks weather permitting and multiple play times throughout the day with her favorite squeaks. She also has digestive issues so I homemake her food monthly so she stays healthy!
About: Hi, I’m Katie 👋🏻 Caring for dogs isn’t just something I love; it’s what I do every single day! I currently work as a Shift Leader at a very busy dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I’m also experienced with medication administration of all kinds and following detailed care routines, so you can feel confident your dog’s needs will be taken seriously while you’re away. You can expect plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Have questions or a specific need for your pup? Feel free to send me a message! I’d love to learn more about your dog and see how I can help. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)! ❤️ My work schedule at my kennel job is posted 1–3 weeks in advance, which makes it easy for me to plan around bookings and provide reliable care. Whenever I’m not at work, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. On my days off, I have extra flexibility and can spend more one-on-one time with your pup, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or simply giving them ALL of the attention and companionship they deserve. Overnight stays are accepted on a case by case basis depending on my work schedule. During walks and drop-in visits, my focus is on safety, enrichment, quality of care, and making sure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether that means a long walk, playtime in the yard with some toys, or a good cuddle session, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Before each booking, I’ll get to know their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any behavioral quirks or preferences. I’m trained in canine first aid and CPR, and my experience in a busy boarding and daycare facility has taught me how to stay calm under pressure and handle unexpected situations.

“Short notice needed Hannah to do a drop in on our 2 pugs while we were out for the evening. She was prompt on coming the day before so I could show her what they’d need. She came on time while we were out and took the dogs out and made sure they went and had water and left a great update and pictures. Definitely will use again.”

“Alyssa is truly a kind and genuine individual and you can tell just by meeting her and speaking with her that she really cares for animals. My dogs really like her and I feel so much more at ease knowing they are being checked on by someone who will really make sure they are okay.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and a natural instinct for taking care of them. I’ve pet sat my uncle’s dog several times, making sure they were walked, fed, and felt at home while he was away. I also watched over my parents’ Great Dane for a full week while they were on their anniversary trip — managing meals, walks, and plenty of cuddle time with a 150-pound gentle giant. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a chill senior dog, I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. You can count on me to show up, follow instructions, and make your pet feel safe and loved. I'm currently searching for employment, so I'm available anytime. Seeking to make some money on the side while job hunting. What better way than to do what i love - spend time with animals I have a fully fenced backyard on a 23-acre property, and three friendly dogs who love meeting new buddies. Your pet will have space to play and relax safely. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and always make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the pack.

Finding the right sitter who can take care of our diabetic cat who needs insulin injections twice daily has been challenging. We are happy to say Hunter is a perfect fit for us. He made sure he understood our needs and sent photos during his visits. I highly recommend Hunter. We will definitely hire him again.

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 Lapeer 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.

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.
