“Cheyenne took great care of all of our furry friends and our home while we were out of town, which included our pigs and chickens. Her communication was great, and she was such a life-saver when our flight was cancelled and we were delayed 3 days. Thank you Cheyenne! I look forward to booking your services the next time we need a housesitter.”
“Just moved to the area and had to scramble to find a dogsitter for a trip back home. Olivia did a fantastic job caring for our two slightly neurotic goofballs. She went the extra mile with pictures, updates, and care. One of our pups accidentally hurt the other one in a wrestling match, and she made sure to diligently clean and bandage him up to make sure he stayed healthy and everything healed up quickly. Will definitely be calling Olivia again the next time we need to head out of town!”
About: I have experience working in vet clinics and working with a variety of animals including farm animals and exotic animals. I also know how to handle animals and look for behavioral signs of happiness or discomfort. I am a student at Michigan State University and am available everyday between classes and the longest I’d be gone would be 2-4 hours a day. I am understanding of an animals adjustment to a new environment, I don’t have any other pets. I live in a one bed one bath apartment and have a fenced in area specifically for animals.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds (chickens, ducks, birds, rabbits, cats, frogs, and dogs) for my whole life. I love animals - and will love yours like I love my own. I have experience caring for kittens, puppies, and giving medical care to both dogs and cats. I’m a grad student at MSU, so aside from my time in lectures and seminars on campus, I work from home. This makes it easy for me to come to you, and I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to take off my shoes at the door, I won’t track dirt into your house! I’m gentle with pets and make sure to put everything back where it belongs. I love sending pictures, and I’ll make sure to let you know immediately for check in and check out times. I use rover to book care for my fur babies, so I definitely will be able to offer your pets the care I would want for mine.
“Stevie did a wonderful job taking care of our boys and our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip, being very responsive and following the schedule we'd established. 100% would recommend!”
“"Grace is an absolute dream of a sitter! She took amazing care of my two dogs, Kaden and Dior, for an overnight stay. She is incredibly professional, communicative, and respectful of house boundaries. When one of my dogs slipped her harness on a walk, Grace immediately adapted and walked them separately to ensure they stayed safe. She even went out of her way to wash their dog bed, clean up a small accident immediately, and offer to clean the floors. I came home to two relaxed, happy pups. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!"”
“Katie did a great job with my 13 year old dog and the two cats. Sophie, who is not always comfortable with strangers, took to her on the second visit. She sent many pictures and did a great job taking care of Sophie‘s medical concerns. She will do well by your animals also.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Christopher! He was prompt and responsive during booking and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. He was so patient, understanding, and easygoing with our Floydie, who has anxiety and past trauma from an abusive situation, which meant the world to us. Christopher sent regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to our house exactly as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Carissa was so amazing with our dog! She gave him extra treats and love on his birthday too! Our house was neat and tidy when we came back from our vacation which was an added bonus. We will definitely rebook and recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.
“Nick is truly the best! Nick is a great guy and so trustworthy. We left our yellow lab, Bodi with Nick for 5 days and came back to a spotless house and a well taken care of dog. Nick was thoughtful enough to give us daily updates on how things were going along with pictures. He is truly a natural with dogs and can tell how much he loves animals, our Bodi took to him right away. Definitely will be requesting Nick for future dog care and highly recommend him. Nick is a true gem who went above and beyond without being asked.”
“Kyanna was absolutely wonderful. She took care of our babies and it was very last minute. She sent us pics and updates. We would definitely use her again. We didn't have to worry, which is a true blessing. Thanks so much Kyanna.”
“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing to work with! She was on time, did regular check-ins and left our home as she found it. I would definitely use her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable excellent pet sitter!”
“Alianna did a fantastic job house sitting for our golden retriever. She took extra care of him while he was recovering from injury, providing frequent ongoing updates to us on her visits as well as pics of our fur baby. Thanks for being so thoughtful and responsive!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a baby, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to give each pet patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I’m available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m available afternoons, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. I’m also willing to do 4+ hours if needed just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine consistent, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
“Arden went above and beyond while taking care of our dog and home over a long weekend. It was a last minute booking, there was an errand to run and dog medication to give… Arden was on top of it all! We even received many updates and photos a day on how our dog was doing. We are so grateful!”
“Alyssa was a great petsitter! She let me know all the pets were doing fine while I was gone for the weekend. I appreciated that she stayed at my house with them. I hope she can watch them again!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Meridian Charter Township walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Meridian Charter Township maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Meridian Charter Township 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
