“Ally has been amazing with Gunther! She is very good about communication and providing updates. Leaves the house in great shape. He is always so happy to see her and know he’s well taken care of!”
“Jason was amazing. I would recommend him as a sitter for your dog, cats and as a chicken checker...lol. Jason took great care of our dog on his drop ins and did a few extras too, like took an Amazon package in. Jason was reliable and had great communication. We will definitely use his services again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and would be honored to care for your furry family member. I had my beloved Toy Poodle, Chopin, from the time he was just 3 months old until he passed away this past July at the age of 16. He was such a huge part of my life, and I miss him dearly every day. As Chopin got older, he developed various health issues and needed medications and extra care. I became very comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to changes in his health, comfort, and behavior. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me how important patience, gentleness, and individualized care are. I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with dogs again. I would be so happy to meet your pup, get to know their personality and routine, and care for them with the same love and attention I gave my own dog. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. I’d love to say hi and hopefully become a trusted friend to your dog! 🐾❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m generally available in the mornings and early afternoons, and I’m happy to work with your schedule when possible. I’m typically not available after 3:00 PM. I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I’ll make sure your dog is supervised and in a safe environment at all times.
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats while we were out of the country. One of our cats is very social, while the other is extremely shy, and Emily was great about respecting their different personalities and needs. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel comfortable knowing our cats were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would happily book her again!”
“Katherine is AMAZING!! She was super diligent to send me photos, extremely helpful and truly cares about fur babies. I’m so happy I found her and I am comforted to know that when I need help with my little furry one I know just who to call!!”
“Annie has been watching my cat Figgy for 8 years, and recently took care of him and my kitten Marty. They both loved her, she’s someone I know I can trust with my babies. She takes great photos too”
“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”
“Lauren is great! She’s very nice and communicates thoroughly. She was on time and my dogs felt comfortable with her. I made a mistake and didn’t finalize my first booking and she was very understanding and worked with me on scheduling for the next day. I plan to use her for more drop ins as well as our vacation this summer.”
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life. My experience includes training as a pup and taking care of a senior dog. I understand the value of keeping the dog moving and getting its exercise. I currently work full time, but am available on weekends and weekdays after 6pm. I do have a 1 year old that also loves dogs. I have a fenced in yard and typically will play with the dogs inside and out. It depends on the dog and their preferences in playtime.
About: My grandmother drilled the importance of treating all life with respect and dignity, and through that I have learned to love all forms of pet-life. I want to ensure that you are at ease when important life events arise, and you need to leave the most vulnerable members of your family. I've been taking care of animals, primarily cats and dogs, since I was 10 and I hope to have the privilege of caring for your pet too :) I work part-time as a barista and spend the rest of my time caring for my own pets, pursuing hobbies of mine, and studying for school. This leaves me with ample time to get to know new animals, their personalities, and to provide them with all the love they desire. A big part of pet-care is communication between 3 parties; the owner, the sitter, and the pet themselves. I'll adhere to any schedules and rules established by YOU, I'll respect the boundaries of your pet, and I'll bring my 100% to be your animals best advocate and friend. Your pet will be supervised all of the time, I'll provide daily update videos in cases of travel, and I may sneak them a treat or two as a bribe.
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.
“Alan was great with our senior kitties and communicated well during his visits. One of our cats turned out to be shy on the drop-ins, but Alan was patient and even found creative ways to get our cat to take his medicine. I would recommend Alan to a friend and would trust him again with our cats.”
About: I had a German Shepherd Husky of my own for 12.5 years where I cared for him day in & day out, walked him, took him on trips with me & spent our days playing together. I am now the go to for all of my friends' & families' pet sitting needs. I love on every animal I encounter. I just recently adopted a German shepherd - his name is Hank, he was born on 5/3/26.

I am open all mornings except Sunday, and I’m available Monday, Thursday, and Saturday for the evening. May change when I get a job in the future. I make sure to stay in the same room as me and make sure to pay attention to its wants and needs. I’m not afraid to have cameras around the house.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
Camile did a great job with my three boys (dogs) while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and I could tell by her pictures that she was actually interacting and playing with them. I told her she could leave my reactive, shy boy locked up but she removed the gate and gave him a chance to come out on his own. On the second day he did!
Ally is great! While I’m at work, my mind is at ease, knowing that she is loving on and taking great care of my baby. Reading the little note and looking at the photos is something I look forward to during the day. My girl always looks so happy in the photos when she is with her

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Madison Heights is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 3,626 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Madison Heights. 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 .
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 with handling special pet needs in Madison Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
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.
