“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER. They spent so much time with ours dogs and we had a worry-free vacation knowing they were in such good hands. They also did great with our highly anxious cavalier and our very big Bernese mountain dog. Highly recommend and will be using them for all future dog sitting!!!”

Thank you again for your kindness and care. Warmly, Nina”

About: I have had dogs my entire life! I have grand kitties that I adore! If i could have a farm with 1000 animals I would! I am home all day and would love to walk, feed, snuggle and/or help care for your babies! I have all the knowledge of how much you care for your pet! I have 2 small dogs. I do not have a fenced yard, but do live on a dead end street, if your dog were to stay here.
About: Growing up we have always had pets! So I would always be the one to let the dogs out potty and fill the food bowls. Along with giving them all sorts of attention! I am currently enrolled at Mott Community College in the online program therefore I will have all the time to play with your pets and make sure they are cared for! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but there is plenty of space for your dog to go for walks and have a fun time. I don’t have any dogs, just one cat who is very friendly and doesn’t mind the company.
About: I am a nurse and have taken care of dogs for about 30 years. Available most days. Any pet in my care will receive attention all day as someone is always home to care for them when boarding with us. I work during the day however there is always someone home to allow for play and potty breaks. Our house is on . Lake so if your dog likes to swim we are hapoy to swim with them😋 I have a GEO yard and collars if your dog likes to run otherwise leashed walks several times a day. Dog toys available. Willing to provide referrences and vet records from our own vet.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.
About: Not entirely unique with my past experience-I've always had cats and dogs growing up and have grown to learn just how much I enjoy being in the presence of and hanging out with any and all pets. Just simple pet sitting for friends and family growing up. I’m easy going and open to accommodating you and your pets to the best of my abilities. I have no formal dog training background and offer myself as a responsible caretaker to provide necessary supervision and companionship for your pets! Currently am unemployed and looking for jobs. Getting back into Rover for the interim. I have pretty open availability and am able to prioritize the needs of the pet/owner in terms of scheduling. I am all about doing what your pet whats to do, play, nap, cuddle. I really try to be cognitive of your pet's needs and wants as they are almost entirely reliant on us/me to have their needs and wants met.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals! I've had many different types of personalities with all of the animals I've had growing up so I know how to handle many different dogs and cats. I'm not ready to adopt a dog or another cat yet so I would love to be able to spend some time with more animals! I love to be outside and being active, so I would love to take your dog on walks and have plenty of experience doing that. I also have experience with house/pet-sitting and would love to spend time with your dogs and/or cats while you are away. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so that you know they are in good hands!

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 .

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 Linden 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 Linden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
