“Great sitter! Always communicative. Goes above and beyond to care for your pup. Examples: gives tips to help me as a new dog mom of a puppy, he let me know my puppy lost his first tooth and saved it for me, he noticed my pups nails were getting long and clipped them for me, etc. You won’t be sorry if you book him to care for your fur baby. :)”
“Emi-Lu was so great with my two cats! It’s comforting to have sometime to trust while out of town to take care of your babies and Emi-Lu was that for us! She fed them, played with them, and cleaned the litter box (who doesn’t like coming home to a clean litter box - honestly!!!). Will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: I’ve had many different pets in my life big and small each pet teaching me something very different on the love and care for that pets individual needs . I’ve had a Poodle with seizures a Rhodesian Ridge back that ate everything in sight .My recent cat had a mega colon issue when I adopted her it finally got to be too much for her. Luna’s care was very specific including all the medications and diet . My friends and family have me take care of their pets knowing they couldn’t be in more loving hands . My home is pet friendly i have no pets at this time I love animals and they seem to respond very lovingly to me . I’m retired from owning my own business so I’m not working and looking to supplement some extra income so my schedule is flexible and so are my days and evenings .

About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!
“Aubrey did a wonderful job dropping in for my dog Lou. Aubrey knew we’d be gone for a long day so she made sure to spend lots of time playing with Lou to get her energy out. She gave a cute picture and a very detailed update which reassured us that our sweet girl was in great hands and that all of our instructions were being followed perfectly. We will definitely be having Aubrey back again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have a passion for working with all animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats as well as other pets. I believe your pet is part of your family and deserves the best care possible, I treat them like my own:) I am free every day after 3pm to walk or drop in. Weekends if needed! Monday/Wednesday I am available early morning from 7-8 AM as well! I prefer to stick to yours and your pets schedule. Routine is very important to me as well as my own animals. What works best for your pet works best for me!
“Diana did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were away. We received cute pictures of our cat throughout the weekend and when we got back everything was neat and tidy. Diana is very friendly and responsive. We would highly recommend her services.”
About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.
About: Ive had the privilege of being around dogs my whole life. I have pet sit for friends, family, and my nanny families when they were away. I currently work part-time with Fridays off so I have lots of free time to care for your pet! I also work close to home and can stop home for potty breaks and walks:) I live in an apartment complex that is dog friendly and also has a dog park! My family has dogs and live close so I have access to crates and any other things your pet might need:)
About: I grew up on my parents farm in Michigan. Ive always had dogs my whole life. When I was about 14 yrs old I fostered puppies and dogs. I loved every minute of it. In my home now I have my best friend Jack. He is a rescue terrier. He goes everywhere with me even to the grocery store. Jack and I frequent dog parks and love going hiking. Jack has a lot of energy and keeps me busy. He truly brings so much joy to my life. When people ask if I have kids I say no, but I’m a dog Mom. If you want your pet baby to be treated amazingly, and if they were my own pet contact me. You’ll be satisfied. Working remotely allows me to give pets my full attention and care. Thankfully I can really customize and craft an amazing experience for them. It’s my absolute passion. I have a fenced in yard, and take my time with your dog to learn its personality. I want it to be most comfortable here.
“I had a great experience with Allison.She was very responsive. I liked that she kept me updated with pictures and let me know that she was on her way. My dog liked her and i will definitely use her again.”
About: I love working with dogs, they bring happiness to my life! I have 2 dogs on my own that I walk every day. I pay very close attention to my dogs when I am walking them. I treat them as I would my own children. My house is dog safe because my own fur babies love to get into things they shouldn't, which has improved my techniques as an owner. As a dog loving house, there are treats and food available always. I am a big believer in fresh water daily for my pets. I have been around dogs since I was little, I love to care for them and know how read their body language. I started pet sitting for my family and friends. I have a fenced house where dogs can play safely. In my house dogs can be on the couch. I will spend time playing and caring for your dog or cat as well as walking with them.
“Rachel was great! Not only did she love on my babies like they were her own, but her and her daughter were very calming for my babes. Rachel sent LOTS of photos and was very loving towards my babies! I will definitely be using Rachel again🩷”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lyon Township
I had a wonderful experience! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, arrived as expected, and took great care of my dog. It was clear she genuinely cared, and my dog immediately liked and trusted her. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind she provided. Professional, reliable, and kind. I would absolutely recommend her and will gladly use her services again!
This is the second time we have had Lyle check on our cat while out of town, and he has been great both times. He made sure to play with her a lot to get her energy out, was attentive to the status of her food and water, and sent us lots of pics with each check in. Would definitely recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
