“Cheyenne was wonderful with my puppy! I could tell my dog loved her and enjoyed playing with her during check ins. She also went above and beyond after we had a small mishap with the house key. She came back after she couldn’t get in even after the set time to let my dog out. She has wonderful energy and I can’t wait to book again!”

About: Hello! My name is Jen. I’m a mom, runner, lifelong pet owner, and dedicated caregiver who believes caring for animals truly feeds the soul. My experience spans all life stages—from gentle, patient senior care with strict medical routines to upbeat, athletic walks for energetic dogs. I love learning from every animal I watch, constantly expanding my knowledge of pet behavior to meet each fur baby right where they're at. My flexible remote work schedule allows me to provide attentive, punctual visits while strictly following your care and home security notes. I’m also a big fan of sending frequent, high-quality photos and updates so you always have total peace of mind! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care throughout my week. Whether your pet needs an early morning check-in, a mid-day walk, or an evening drop-in, I can be there reliably without feeling rushed. My flexible routine gives me the freedom to spend quality, unhurried time with your pets—giving them the dedicated attention, playtime, and careful routine tracking they deserve every single visit! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ As a long-time Haslett/Okemos/East Lansing resident, I treat every client's home with the highest level of care, respect, and security. Safety is always my top priority: I double-check that all doors, gates, and windows are secure upon entering and leaving, and I am especially mindful of safety details—like opening entry doors slowly in case a curious pet is waiting right behind them. I strictly follow your specific household and feeding instructions, ensuring food bowls, water sources, and other pet areas are kept clean and fresh. Whether we are out exploring local neighborhoods and trails on a tailored walk or having a quiet indoor drop-in visit, I provide close supervision, thoughtful communication, and frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while away. 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and currently work as a dog groomer in Okemos! I’ve cared for animals all my life. This includes cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, sheep and I even have two geckos! I have shown cows and sheep at the county fair, so don’t worry if you have a large dog that likes to pull or play tug of war! I worked at an animal shelter dealing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I hang out with my siblings often who also have dogs, a cane corso and two elkhound mixes, and we’ve had labs and pomeranians in the past. I have experience giving oral/topical medications to dogs, cats, sheep, and cows. I am also open to taking care of any other pets or farm animals you may have! I work 4-5 days a week at Dog Gone Fun in Okemos. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask! I have cared for a variety of dogs- different breeds, all ages, all temperaments. I grew up with dogs my whole life (among other animals), and I have learned a lot from my experiences about how to read an animals body language.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science, taking part in rescue organizations and volunteering as a foster. I also have 2 dogs (7 and 4 y/o) that I raised since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. If your pets have any special needs, let me know and we can discuss! I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.

About: I volunteer at an animal shelter for volunteer hours, so I have experience with dogs and cats that are unfamiliar with me! I've also owned both dogs and cats in my family throughout my entire life. I would love to help as much as I can but my availability will be slightly constricted due to my class schedule. I can mostly do weekends! I will not be able to take any pets to my own home, however I will be sure to give pets in their own space plenty of attention or space depending on what the animal prefers.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life. I developed a unique and gentle approach to animal care as both our cats and dogs have had serious health issues. Although I am a full time student and am very busy on campus I still have plenty of free time on my weekdays and weekends. I am able to take care of animals through visits, feeding, walking, etc. I prefer quick care as opposed to sitting and boarding as my schedule does not allow me to perform these care duties.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I always had cats and dogs growing up, and as I got older I ended up caring for lizards, fish, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! I work a very flexible full time job, and work from home when I want to, so I am very flexible! I am able to leave work and come back whenever if I am in office (besides the occasional meetings). I am willing to come to anyone’s home to care for any pets. I am pretty adaptable! I have (unfortunate) experience with dealing with unexpected events such as skunk encounters.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had a shih-tzu that I raised and currently have an alaskan klee kai that is my soul dog. I LOVE both dogs and cats, they are such a light in this world. My friend and I used to dog sit for her neighbor once a month, and I dog walked for my neighbor every day for two years, as well as dog sat for her whenever she went on vacation! I know I may not have experience on this app specifically, but I have lots of experience in real life and I would be a great fit for your needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job so I can go back to college, and my friend suggested I check out rover, which I LOVE the idea of! I will also be moving to Lansing very soon! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, feed and water them, play with them, snuggle on them, give them medication, whatever you need I can do as long as it’s safe to do it! Thank you for your consideration:)

About: Hi! I’m Ema, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of experience with both dog walking and pet sitting, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, older dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. You can count on me to provide reliable, caring service and plenty of updates while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently working full-time hours from 8-4 and working from home on Fridays. I am available for early morning and evening walks/runs, as I live an active lifestyle. I have open weekend availability. I have an unfenced yard and lots of indoor living space. I live in a walkable area with many dog parks nearby. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was old enough to remember. My best friend as a kid was my rottweiler Roxy, and our other dog Zeus, a Great Dane mix who lived until 12. Now, my parents have small dogs and medium sized dogs, all of which I love! I have cared for many types of animals over the course of my life and animal loving runs in my blood. I am working part time and going to school, but 2/3 days a week I work remotely. Weekends I am free all day, and any other weekday I am out of school or work by 5 pm. I care for pets as if they are my own. Giving them love, treats, walks, and mental stimulation if required. I love to go on long walks and would love a walking buddy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Meridian Charter Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Meridian Charter Township is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 983 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Meridian Charter Township. 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 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 Meridian Charter Township. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
