“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”
“Becki did a great job caring for our two dogs. She is a great communicator and sent photos each day! She left our home cleaner than she found it. We plan to use Becki again!”
“Skyler was awesome as always! Pleasant to communicate with, liked by my critters, very attentive to instructions, and excellent with updates on how the animals are doing. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned and have taken care of multiple animals throughout the years! From house animals to some animals. I love our furry friends! :) . I’m working a part-time job currently where I work every other weekend, I’ll be able to stop in throughout the day on the days I do and don’t work! I have 2 friendly dogs, 2 friendly cats, a rabbit and a rooster! I keep them all safe and healthy, and I have a great bond with them!
“Cindy was a great sitter for our pup. Cindy followed all directions provided, was attentive to our dog and had really good communication while sitting. Our home was left in great condition also. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Alaina was wonderful! She stayed with our pack and watched our home over the weekend. She was communicative, kind, and clean. And our pups loved her! Thank you for giving us peace of mind while away. We would absolutely love to use your services in the future.”
About: I provide small-scale, individualized pet care with a focus on keeping each pet safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ve been providing pet care since 2012, beginning with house sitting and eventually expanding my experience to include operating my own pet-care business. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs-from energetic puppies and social butterflies to seniors and dogs who need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable. I intentionally keep the number of pets in my care limited so I can get to know each one as an individual. I pay close attention to body language, play styles, rest needs, feeding routines, medications, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I offer daycare and boarding in my home, as well as house sitting and drop-in care in clients’ homes. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, in-home care allows them to maintain their usual environment and routine while their family is away. My goal isn’t simply to keep your pet occupied until you return. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in attentive hands. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I provide daycare Monday through Friday and boarding based on availability, intentionally keeping my client numbers small so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, supervision, playtime, and rest. I also offer house sitting for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Because I may have daycare clients during the day, house-sitting pets should be comfortable with me being away during my normal working hours. When appropriate and arranged in advance, some house-sitting dogs may also be able to accompany me to daycare. I limit bookings and coordinate my schedule carefully so I can maintain each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. My goal is to provide reliable care without overbooking myself or compromising the attention any pet receives. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. In my home, dogs are supervised and introduced thoughtfully rather than simply placed together. I keep my number of clients intentionally small, which allows me to monitor interactions, recognize when a dog needs a break, and provide separate spaces for feeding, resting, or decompression when needed. My home has a securely fenced 6-foot yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have secure containment options available when needed and never assume that a new dog can safely be left loose with other dogs. Each new family begins with a Meet & Greet so I can learn about your dog’s personality, play style, routine, boundaries, and any behaviors I should be aware of before their first stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the household and pet-care instructions provided to me as closely as possible. I respect your pet’s established routine as well as your home, including instructions regarding doors, gates, walks, feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, and home security. I’m also careful about entry and exit to help prevent escapes. Whether your pet stays with me or I stay with them, I believe good care means paying attention. I monitor behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, interactions, and overall comfort and will communicate with you if I notice something unusual. My goal is to provide an environment where both you and your pet can feel secure and comfortable.
“We had such a great experience with our dog and house sitter, Norah. She took such wonderful care of Bentley and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands. It’s clear Norah truly cares and treats your home and pets like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 15 years ranging from my family's terrier mix to my own dog, to family and friends' dogs. Right now, I’m available all day, every day to help with pet care, including the weekends. If anything comes up in our schedules, I’m happy to coordinate to make sure your pet gets consistent care. I care for pets like my own—attentive, patient, and loving. From meds and meals to walks, runs, and companionship, I keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Bethany was outstanding! On time, super friendly, and so great with communication, pictures and updates. My puppies loved her and we will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”
About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!
About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.
“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Sam worked really well with my two large dogs (even though they both can be barkers) and even made friends with my cats. She also handled some unexpected hiccups at our house with grace, and I really appreciated that.”

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 Middleville 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 Middleville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Middleville 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
