About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and seniors! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and my own private clients, as well as working professionally with a pet-sitting company. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and individual needs. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand that they may need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. Whether that means taking a slower walk, enjoying some fresh air in a stroller, administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!!! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Along with pet sitting, I also babysit part-time, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. As a dog mom myself, I'm already used to planning my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I always make sure I have the time and availability to give every pet the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they're in loving hands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they feel like part of the family. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of fresh air, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Dogs are always kept on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a dog of my own, Theo, who can stay with my family during stays if needed. When caring for pet in their own homes, I always respect their space and do my best to maintain their usual routines. Whether that's following specific feeding instructions, taking their favorite walking route, or simply give them a little extra reassurance, I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I also love sending pictures and updates throughout our time together! I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and being well care for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and kindness I would want for my own!
“Anthony did a great job with Manny who can tend to be a little finnicky! Kept me updated with texts and photos so I knew everything was ok. I will definitely contact Anthony again for future stays and highly reccomend him!”
“Taylor did a great job for me and Brewtus. He was well cared for by Taylor and he looked really happy. I could tell that she loves animals. She is also a fellow dog owner with three of them as well. I felt really good about having her take care of him. I would have her take care of my dog again. I would highly recommend. Well done, Taylor. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….
About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.
“Laurie was professional and so warm and caring — Jax and Lola had the best time with her. It’s a relief knowing they were not only well taken care of, but also really enjoyed themselves. Thank you Laurie!”
“Highly recommend Lauren! She watched my two dogs and went above and beyond! We feel very fortunate to have found someone like her and so close to us! Will definitely be using her services again and again!”
About: Hi ! My name is Cat, and I currently reside in Waterford, MI. I am an animal lover who grew up with cats and dogs my whole life, so I definitely know what I’m doing when it comes to taking proper care of pets. I currently do not own any pets, so I truly enjoy being able to be help people with their furry children! Every time I hang out with friends you can always find me sitting with their dog or cat on the couch 🐶🐱 I enjoy pet-sitting as a way to be more active outdoors, earn extra income, and be around some cute dogs and cats ! My experience thus far includes watching my next door neighbor’s three Shih Tzu dogs (approx. 7 years) along with their 4 ducks (approx. 4 years), my sister’s Golden Retriever and 3 Domestic Shorthairs (approx. 5 years) and my parent’s chihuahua (10 years). As well as many other friend’s and acquaintance’s pets on and off Rover. I am currently a part time student for the summer and only have online classes. The remainder of my time can be spent devoted to your beloved pets ! I live in an apartment, so I would prefer only hosting small pets. I am totally open to dog walking/house sitting. I have references available as well.
“We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!”
“This is my second time using Autumn, and I always feel very relaxed leaving Quentin. Autumn always gives me updates and I love the pictures. She goes above and beyond and I am grateful to have found her on rover. She plays with Quentin and I know he’s in great hands!! I will definitely be requesting her services again next time we go away. Thanks Autumn!”

About: I’ve always been a doggy person. I like to dance sing and act. I’m a theater major at SVSU with a minor for creative writing. I’m enjoy outside walks and talking to dog. I had a Shitzu for 14 years named Patches who I would walked around my neighborhood but in 2025 me and my family put him down because he was getting real old and slowly decaying. So I have experience walking a dog picking up after a dog. I’m currently on summer break from university and I’m not usually busy. I have a license but not a car. I love to hangout with friends but I wouldn’t have any schedule conflicts. I would play with my dog a lot have him chase me around the house. Feed him in the morning with my dad. Me and my mom would take Patches to go get groomed and too the vet together. I would let Patches sleep in my bed. Me and my mom would give Patches fruit sometimes too eat. Me and my mom during covid took Patches outside to walk a lot.
About: I've volunteered at shelters since I was a teen and became a natural at fostering as soon as I got my first apartment. As I grew aocially and careerwise, I was drawn to provide companionship to the elderly and naturally, the feeding, comfort, care and cleanliness of their pets has become part of my routine as well. I do this full-time! In 2023, i found myself an empty nester after having provided a quiet, loving, foster home for strays, runaways, a very mischievous boy beagle. a Boston Terrorizer, a very scared chiweenie, two heavy pregnant pitbull mamas, numerous fat cats and a juicy little guinea pig name Cheezit! In the New Year, I've relocated to the boonies and I am ready for some fun in the sun, hiking and cool days at the lake with a new buddy but for now, I have no pets of my own. This spring, I've found myself supporting a very sweet, very kind senior with a broken arm who has 8 indoors kitties, 2 horses and a border, therefore I have open availability for last minute bookings of any duration. From the moment we meet, you'll see that I work tirelessly to maintain solid relationships in my private life and in my business, supporting the needs of families by respecting their home, their needs and quirks, their privacy by providing attention to security, attention to wellness and attention to detail. I aim to help seamlessly transition your pet into my care with amiliar routine, schedules and TLC.
About: I have 7 years of experience pet sitting for all types of pets. I have pet sat for families friends, families I nanny for, and neighbors. I love meeting new animals and families! I am a current grad student but still have availability each day. I can stop by anytime or stay the night with pets if preferred! I ensure pets are safe at all times by keeping them on leashes/in a fenced in yard. I also ensure they have enough food and water and treats of course!
About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old and have taken care of them ever since. On multiple occasions I’ve cared for and walked my neighbors and friend’s dogs as well. I’m a student at Michigan state university but I often come home to my family. I’m available most days in the week, depending on my academic schedule. I live in a condo with my family and thus, will be going to clients houses rather than keeping their dogs in my house. I will also be available to walk their dogs as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milford
Alexia did a good job for me with day visits for my two senior dogs during a long weekend. She was located not too far from me. Communication with her was great and I received updates and pictures. There was an unanticipated schedule change for which I was given immediate notice and an immediate refund. This was my first experience with Rover.com and I am pleased with the service. I will be contacting Alexia for her services in the future.
Aubrey did a wonderful job dropping in for my dog Lou. Aubrey knew we’d be gone for a long day so she made sure to spend lots of time playing with Lou to get her energy out. She gave a cute picture and a very detailed update which reassured us that our sweet girl was in great hands and that all of our instructions were being followed perfectly. We will definitely be having Aubrey back again and highly recommend her!

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.
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 Milford 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
