About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am.

“Literally cannot survive without her. She is so nice and patient with my Huskies who love to talk and harass her for carrots. They love her and she plays outside with them the whole time and gives so many updates.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 15. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and turtles, both as my own pets and for others. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away and can send lots of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved!

About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
About: I worked at an animal shelter for about a year and a half, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I became familiar with dogs’ and cats’ diets, learned how to understand their body language, and gained experience administering medications when needed. I’ve also owned dogs for most of my life and have always believed them to be incredibly loyal and loving companions. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary assistant program. Most of my classes are online, with the exception of Fridays, when I attend classes on campus. I am generally available Monday through Thursday for most of the day, as long as I am given advance notice. I am also available on weekends when needed, with advance notice. My pets at home are very spoiled, so I plan to treat your pets the same way! I always want to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while they’re with me. I also enjoy going on trail walks or taking long walks in general, so I’d be happy to have some furry company along the way.
About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals of all kinds, but dogs are just so easy to love! I’ve helped take care of my friends and family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience walking, playing, bathing and watching dogs of all different shapes and sizes! I’m naturally an active person with a love for nature and the outdoors, making me the perfect companion for your furry friend ☺️ If you have any questions regarding my services please reach out. And, of course, if you’re interested let’s set up a meet and greet! I’m currently working part-time, so fitting in time with your fur babies before work (8am-10:30am) and after work (5pm-7:30pm) on the weekdays is no problem! Weekends are also a great option as my schedule is much more flexible. If you’re unsure about my availability don’t hesitate to ask. I will always be mindful and respectful of your home when dropping in, and intend to leave it just as I found it or better!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to
“Tiyani was amazing! She was communicative, punctual, and even brought some of my packages inside when she stopped by which was definitely not within the scope of her responsibility but I appreciated it very much! 10/10 recommend, I could tell my cat was happy and had been well cared for when I returned.”

About: I have 13 years of caring for animals personally 🥰 I am currently a dog & cat mom and a first-time mom to a baby girl. Over the years not only have I cared for my own pets but I have house sat for friends and family members. Additionally I have 3 years of dog grooming experience! One of my favorite jobs yet! Please keep in mind booking that I work from 8am-4:30pm. I look forward to discussing the possibility of caring for your fur babies. Please note I require a meet and greet before booking and a video call for last minute bookings I will give constant updates on your fur babies and keep them on whatever schedule you have setup for them.

About: I grew up having dogs in my home and in my family. I’m experienced in caring for dogs that are diabetic or pre diabetic. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own and make them feel at home. They will get plenty love and attention while they are in my care. I currently work on Monday through Thursday and at home on Fridays. I will always make sure your fur baby is cared for as directed. I have a fenced in yard and we will also go on walks.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my family dog, Chutney, for over 10 years, and taking care of him is really what got me into dog sitting. I did Rover throughout college and absolutely loved it, and after taking a break during the pandemic, I’m excited to be offering my services again. Since moving to Detroit, I’ve spent the past three years dog sitting and caring for many wonderful pups. I previously worked fully remotely, and while I’m now hybrid, my schedule is still very flexible. Right now, I’m only in the office once a week for a couple of hours, and starting in July 2026 I’ll be in the office three days a week. The good news is that I get to choose my own hours, so I won’t be gone all day just a couple hours! This flexibility allows me to continue giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits pretty easily into my daily routine because I currently work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office once a week for a couple of hours. Starting in July 2026, my schedule will shift to three in-office days per week, but I’ll still only need to be there for a couple of hours each day. I also live with my partner, who is great with dogs and typically home during the day since he works evenings, so there’s usually someone around to keep your dog company and cared for while I’m briefly in the office. This gives us plenty of flexibility to follow your dog’s routine, provide lots of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I also make time for at least two walks a day, along with regular check-ins, feeding, and anything else your dog may need to feel happy and comfortable. I make it a priority to make sure your dog always feels safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I give plenty of extra cuddles, attention, and quality time so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands.
“Tara was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and so flexible when my return plans changed—I really appreciated how accommodating she was. Rosie clearly bonded with her right away and loved the walks, attention, and care Tara gave her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again—she’ll definitely be one of the first people I reach out to for future care!”

Briana saved me last minute! She was able to help me with Georgia and she did it with the best attitude. She was so kind, nice, and kept me updated on Georgia. She sent me pics, which I truly appreciate it. It was just so easy to talk to Briana, she really cared about Georgia. Definitely recommend her!!!!

Shylah always comes through on short notice. I don't even have to try finding another sitter cause Shylah is consistent and always able to help when I request it. If you use anyone else you're a fool. You care about your pet and want to have no worries while away then book Shylah. Lastly realize the service you're getting for your furry family member. You get outstanding service for very little cost. Don't be cheap tip her and show appreciation for what she does for you.

Sherice is a very good sitter, I highly recommend!! She communicates very well with me about how my dogs are doing while she's there. Sherice let's me know if they used the bathroom, played, also if they are acting anxious,excited, or cuddley lol. Sherice is also very prompt, flexible with her & my schedule, & she does very well with my skiddish rescue pitbull. I will be having her drop in on my doggys again!!

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 Lincoln Park 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
