“Hadlie was excellent and very knowledgeable. She was able to address any anxieties we may have had and made sure to provide a thorough report of her visit with our dog Bee. Hadlie has excellent communication and responds quickly if we have any questions. We highly recommend her for your pets care!”

About: I’ve been caring for loving animals since I was 11, and over the years, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and look after their pets with consistent compassion, patience, and genuine affection. I’m currently working part-time so I’m home throughout the week. I’m available to pet sit, dog walk or provide a midday potty break. Mostly during the week however my schedule is flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide gentle companionship, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away.
“Shelli was great with our cat Marley. Very reliable and friendly. She gave us nightly updates which made our trip more enjoyable knowing she was in good hands. Thanks Shelli! We will surely think of her when we need a sitter.”


“Regan was AMAZING!! Very thoughtful care and occasional photos. She communicated well with us and really made us feel as ease while we were away. This was our first time using river.com and we will be calling on Regan again!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all types and sizes since I was 8 years old. I have has countless walking and house sitting jobs since I was 14 and I was always the go-to person in the neighborhood if any pets needed walking or any families were going on vacation and were in need of an in-home caretaker, or just someone to visit their fluffy friends during the day and walk/play/spend time with them. I am currently in Graduate school Monday through Thursday 11-3:15 so I am very flexible and can cater to you and your pets needs! I am free any other time and date outside of what is listed! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets (devastating I know) so my chihuahua jack Russell mix is with my dad in Michigan and I will not be available to bring your pet home. However, I am very active and have many friends here that would love to give your pet some extra love. I am also very handy at finding parks to walk in and fun activities for your pet and me to do, no matter how fast or slow-paced they like to live!
“We loved having Karla check in on our pup while I was having a medical procedure out of state. I had an adverse reaction and had to stay an extra night and Karla saved our butts by being able to do an extra day! Very punctual and highly recommend using her!”

About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome! I have two crates and plenty of beds for your pet to feel comfortable. I have an outdoor patio in case your dog wants some fresh air as well as plenty of walking space around my neighborhood.
About: Hi there, I have been involved with dog care since my childhood; growing up as a volunteer with various rescues and animal shelters, to fostering, to adopting and owning my own dogs. I have dealt with many breeds and types of dogs and personalities throughout the years. Unfortunately since my work schedule changes too frequently, I cannot accept bookings more than two weeks in advance. I am great for someone who needs a last minute, short stay booking (1-4 days) at a low affordable cost. If you have a well behaved dog, low-medium energy, that needs a safe, clean, and loving home for a few days while you’re gone, I’m the Rover for you 🙂 I live in an apartment so ideally my home is best suited for small to medium size dogs that are house trained, well behaved, and low-medium energy. I can unfortunately only accept large dogs if they are low energy, behaved, and house trained I do not have a yard but I do have plenty of safe walking space around the neighborhood. During the day, potty breaks are every 4 hours. If your dog is crate trained, that is a plus for overnight sleeping to avoid any issues of being out roaming the apartment without supervision. I am otherwise home and attentive to your dog. Communication is important. I respond quickly and will send daily updates. I’m only charging $20 a night because I know how hard it is to find safe, dependable, and affordable care, especially last minute. So I want to open my home when my schedule allows to help other dog owners I don’t require a meet and greet ahead of time but have no problem if you would like to have one (in person or FaceTime) and see if my place is the right fit for your dog when you’re gone. For the safety of your dog, I do not feed anything but your provided dog food and provided treats. I do not feed human food or my own treats as I don’t want to risk any stomach issues Thank you for your time and consideration
“Allison was very helpful in taking care of our two senior cats. Normally when we’re gone they’re very stressed out but we came home to two very relaxed kitties. Thanks Allison!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented, which means I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions exactly as requested. I also regularly care for my own golden retriever, handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and routine care. This has given me hands-on experience with an active, friendly breed that needs consistent exercise and attention. I’m especially comfortable with daily walks, exercise, and providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and behavior, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I understand that every dog is different and I take the time to adjust to their personality and needs. As a full-time University of Michigan student, I’m highly organized, reliable, and communicative. I show up on time, send regular updates, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the week, I’m available before and after classes for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I keep my schedule organized to ensure I can give each pet reliable, unrushed care. I am completely free on weekends, which allows me to be very flexible with timing for longer walks, multiple visits, or extended care. I prioritize consistency and clear communication, so pet owners always know when to expect updates and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m attentive to safety at all times—making sure leashes are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are supervised during walks and visits. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, especially in new environments, and adjust care as needed. I also prioritize clear communication and trust. I provide regular updates and photos, and I always leave a client’s home clean, secure, and just as I found it.
“Excellent service! Christine made sure to get to our place in a snow storm to take care of our dogs. Thank you for the great job and patience with our dogs!”

About: I have a soft heart when it comes to pets. I have two cats and I love them to death!!! They are spoiled as heck. I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs since 2012. I get very excited meeting new pets! I will always provide the best care for your burr babies because that is what I want if someone else is watching mine. I work M-F so on the weekdays, more than likely I won't be able to stop by till the evening. I am very flexible during the weekends. Either way, I will work around my schedule and your pets will be well taken care of! Safety will always be my number one priority. I never want to see my babies get hurt, let alone someone else’s pet. I will always follow instructions given by the pet parents well and will always ensure their pets are safe while in my care!

About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently part time as a barista and will be gone typically 5-7 hours (8 at most depending on length of drive) on some days. My schedule varies on which days. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.
About: Growing up living with my mom, we always had 4 dogs and now I have 2 dogs! My wife rovers and I help her sometimes but figured I'd start my own account! This is fun and I enjoy it! I work from home(sometimes have to travel) so it's easy checking in on pets or staying elsewhere if needed! I work from him so checking in on pets or staying at a house is easy and flexible for me! I do have to travel sometimes. I have 2 dogs right now that are small and very friendly. I have a fenced in yard. Working from home makes it easy to travel to take care of dogs!
About: I've been around dogs, cats, and some level of farm animals for most of my life, pet sitting as a service is new for me, although I have extensive practice in animal care. Simply put, I've taken care of animals long enough to know that mane and tail is an amazing conditioner and shampoo combo. I am currently seeking employment and searching for work with services such as rover, my schedule fluctuates however I would consider myself on call, Monday to Sunday any time unless otherwise specified, im here for you and your pets. Our home is a finely tuned balance of two cats and two huskies, I have worked extensively to care for and train both animals to live harmoniously together. My goal is to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and preferably sleepy by the time your best friends are back in your arms, for the huskies we often walk them anywhere from 3 to 5 miles, and upwards of 10 miles on some days on safe, pre walked and inspected routes to ensure your pets saftey

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lima Center is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $38 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 1,980 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lima Center. 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.
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 Lima Center. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
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.
