About: I have been pet sitting for years for family friends. I have owned dogs for my entire life, and I have a cat named michi. I have a flexible schedule. I am more open on the weekends, because I don't have classes, but I have lots of week day availability I care for client's pets the same way I would care for my own, with lots of love and care. I am a lover of all animals
About: Back home I work at a doggy daycare! I know how to administer medications (oral and topical) and I am open to learning how to infect medication! I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to understand these beautiful animals and my passion for it is above and beyond! I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. They’re such loyal and loving babies, and loneliness can be one of their struggles. (Just a heads up, all of my pets are back in my hometown!! I have no pets here in Marquette) My mom has been pet sitting a senior lab mix, and he is just the light of our home when he’s there. It really inspired me to help others and their fur babies!! I for the most part trained my dog Jozie to walk off leash, spin, and play dead. I wouldn’t call myself a dog trainer, but I do think it’s a pretty fun skill I learned long ago. I’m currently a full time student, but so far my schedule is pretty open in my afternoons on week days. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays my classes end at 3pm, and Fridays at 2!. One issue people may have with my schedule is I can’t watch fur babies overnight at my dorm (due to living space rules) but if need be I may be able to stay overnight at a pets house as long as I leave early in the morning. If your fur baby is active and loves the outdoors, I’m always down for a hike or some play time in the yard. I’m also big on cuddles!! If your cat loves cat toys I’m also a big fan of playing!! I have transportation as well, so if your pet needs to be taken anywhere I have no issues with pets in my car!! If your fur baby is stinky I’m also super used to bathing dogs and cats!
“This was a new experience for me using the app and services. Paola sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond and stayed longer than the 30 minutes every time.”
“Emma was great! She kept every appointment, spent time with the cats, and was very communicative. We really appreciated the photos of/short blurbs about the cats that she regularly sent. The cats were in good spirits and well fed when my mom returned from vacation, so they were clearly well looked after! 10/10, would book Emma again.”
“Emily watched my two dogs while I was away for over a week and did a fantastic job! She was very reliable and punctual. It gave me peace of mind and I highly recommend her!”
“Claire was great! My kitty was a little shy and didn’t quite warm up to her but she was still super sweet and patient. Great sitter! She was highly communicative and accepted a last-minute booking over a holiday which was a lifesaver for us. Would certainly book her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few animals on multiple occasions. I can sit for cats and dogs at the same time. I love playing with animals and treat them like my own. I am full time college student but would be able to accommodate most pet sittings. I have a car and would easily be able to house sit! I spend lots of time with the animals I take care of. I can walk them, bathe them, play with them, and more! I have a pup of my own who is very loved. I also can do small household tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, watering plants, and getting the mail.
About: I have always been around dogs/cats (Family Pets and my Own), Since I was Young. I’ve taught basic commands such as sit/stay. I been entrusted with house sitting and dog care for month long periods. I have basic grooming and care experience such as brushing and walking. Im currently at university student, so I am taking courses throughout the week. I also have a Partime job on campus but it varies. Drop in hours for example, i am able to do morning, afternoon, and night Tuesday, Wednesday Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Mondays and Thursdays are the only days i won’t be able to do afternoons because I have lab. I also am capable of doing overnight stays if need be. I am very flexible with me schedule. I have experience watching homes while owners are on vacation, etc (Taking care of animals, security, and cleanliness of the home). I also have 4 of my own animals (3 Dogs, a cat) and care for them as well.
“Anastasia was great! She agreed to watch the cats on short notice, and came over to meet them before the booking started. We felt like the cats were in great hands with Anastasia watching them, and she provided updates and photos every day! 10/10, we'd definitely (and probably will) book Anastasia again!”
“We have used Rover before, but no one has ever come close to the service she provided. She went above and beyond, traveling more than 45 minutes to accommodate our needs. She arrived early and stayed late with our bulldog, giving us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we could tell she genuinely cared. Highly recommend!!”
About: You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving dedicated, one-on-one care in my home. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog will be my sole focus, ensuring they feel safe, welcome, and active. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of room for supervised play and exercise. Because I work remotely, your pet will have constant companionship and the freedom to enjoy the yard throughout the day. Having previously owned a Golden Retriever and two mixed-breed rescues, I am experienced in caring for different personalities and activity levels. Because I work from home and live alone, your dog becomes my primary companion and the heartbeat of my home. My daily routine is perfectly suited for a pet who thrives on consistency and attention. We start each morning with breakfast and a potty break in the large fenced-in backyard before I settle in for work. While I am at my desk, your dog is welcome to nap in my office or relax at my feet, enjoying a calm and quiet environment. I make it a point to step away from my screen for several breaks throughout the day, which provides the perfect opportunity for us to head outside for fresh air and supervised playtime in the yard. Once I log off for the evening, we head out for a long walk to wind down and get some exercise. My weekends are dedicated to trail walking, and I love having a furry friend join me for these longer outdoor adventures. Since I don't have other pets or children, your dog will truly be the centerpiece of my day and will fit right into my active lifestyle. Since I work from home and live alone, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog is the sole focus of my attention. My day is built around companionship—your dog can lounge in my office while I work, and we take frequent breaks to play in my large, fully fenced-in backyard. I strictly follow your existing feeding and medication schedule to keep their routine as normal as possible. Because I am active, they will enjoy a long evening walk every day and the option for trail adventures on the weekends.
About: Hi, I’m Emma – lifelong animal lover, proud cat mom, and your pet’s new best friend (for the summer)! ☀️🐾 From Boston Terriers to big ol’ Labs, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my world—and with two cats ruling my home, being a “cat mom” isn’t just a title, it’s a core part of who I am. This summer, I’m available to help you care for your furry companions—whether that’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or just spending quality time with your pets while you’re away. I’m here to give them the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. No mess is too big, no personality too bold—trust me, I’ve seen it all and love them all. If you’re looking for someone dependable, loving, and totally pet-obsessed to care for your animals this summer, I’d love to connect! 🐶🐱💕 I am a teacher with full summer availability! I am available to walk, drop-in, or overnight pet sit at any time, and day of the week! Safety is my top priority, and I am here to safely cater to all your pets needs! I will walk your pet, give them regular potty breaks, and willing to administer any medication if needed. I will be sure to practice proper leash practices while out of the home!
About: I’ve had pets in my home and life for as long as I can remember, from dogs and cats to chickens and guinea pigs! I have experience caring for pets every size, age, breed, energy levels, and general care needs! I work as a tutor at a middle school, so I have full availability during the summers. I am absolutely a morning person, so morning walks/runs are built into my routine. Otherwise, I can be very flexible on times and locations of pet care. Caring for your pet within your home will include maintaining your pet’s comfort with their familiar environment. This includes playing with their own toys, eating their own food, and being within the home they love so much!
About: I have sat dogs, cats, and fish for abiut 12 years. All ages and types and I love doing it! I have a dog of my own and shrimp! I am a current student at nmu and work at the dining hall. After all that I still have several hours in my day to care for animals! I have a dog of my own. At my house we have a fenced in yard and a woods with trail right outside my door. I take my dog out at least once a day and love going outside especially with a furry buddie!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals feels completely natural to me. From playful puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need extra patience and comfort, I’ve seen it all. Because I’ve lived with animals for as long as I can remember, I’m great at understanding their body language, routines, and what helps them feel safe. I know how to handle different personalities—shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent—and I always adjust to what each pet needs. I treat every pet like family, because that’s how I was raised to care for mine. Your pets will get the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. As a college student, pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m always looking for fun and meaningful ways to make money, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I look forward to. I’m used to building my schedule around classes and responsibilities, so I’m reliable with feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific routines a pet needs. Helping care for animals is a great balance to school life and something I’m happy to make time for! When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s—I always focus on safety, comfort, and consistency. I make sure pets are in a secure environment, keep doors and gates closed, and follow any routines or rules you already have in place. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort levels so they feel safe around me. I keep their routines familiar—walks, feeding times, play, and quiet time—and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels cared for, understood, and completely safe while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marquette
This was our second time booking Emma, and it was once again a great experience! She was communicative and sent regular updates. It's very nice to not have to worry while on vacation, and we know we don't have to with her watching the cats! 10/10, would (and did) book again.
Anastasia was great! She agreed to watch the cats on short notice, and came over to meet them before the booking started. We felt like the cats were in great hands with Anastasia watching them, and she provided updates and photos every day! 10/10, we'd definitely (and probably will) book Anastasia again!
This was our second time booking Natalie, and it was once again a great experience! She was communicative and sent regular updates. It's very nice to not have to worry while on vacation, and we know we don't have to with her watching the cats! 10/10, would (and did) book again.
When I found out our dog’s usual dog sitter was unavailable I was unsure of what to expect with finding a new one on a web site I had never used. But Isabelle was amazing! I was put completely at ease while away, receiving updates and photos of him. I appreciated that she took time to just hang out with him too, which I’m sure made him relaxed and happy rather than anxious and alone while we were gone. I will be recommending her to friends and family and am relieved to have her as a contact to rebook!
As my other review said: Taylor is amazing! Due to the blizzard, we were stuck in Detroit for five extra nights and Taylor's flexibility and willing to continue watching the cats on very short notice saved us from a huge headache. She continued watching the cats and made sure to provide us with regular updates and photos--the trip was incredibly stressful, but thanks to Taylor we knew we at least didn't have to worry about the cats! We will definitely be booking Taylor again!
Alexa is wonderful! Honestly, she's one of the best pet sitter we've ever had. She came to our house to watch our 2 cats/ dear kitty friends, and she truly seemed to understand their needs and ours! She always did MORE than required, including regular communication, photos, and details that she'd only know if she was really spending time with them. We came home to a tidy house and 2 happy, well-fed cats. And when we got home from a long, stressful drive, we found the sweetest note about our kitties and a gift of homemade pumpkin bread! And, Alexa is smart, personable and energetic. We left feeling good about the woman we were entrusting with these small animals who trust us. I never worried about a thing, which for me, is an amazing gift. I missed our cats, but I never worried about them. For me, THAT is the very best recommendation I can give a caregiver. We will certainly hope she is available for every future trip we make.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 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.
