“Amanda was amazing with Dave! It was my first time leaving him alone for an extended period of time and she made sure to give him the love and attention he needed, even coming back an extra session to make sure he was eating and using the litter box! I got the cutest pictures while I was away too”
“Joslyne has been great both times we've booked with her! She went above and beyond, like bringing in packages that needed to be refrigerated and even stopping over an extra time to check on the animals after a bad storm! Most importantly, we came home to happy and healthy pets :)”

“Ashley took care of our cat, Eve, while we were away for 5 days. While we missed our kitty, we knew she was in good hands as Ashley made it a point to play with her, feed her, and take good care of her! We loved the daily updates and pictures! Ashley was also kind enough to stop by before we booked to ensure we were comfortable and to meet Eve. Leaving a pet is hard, but we were more than happy that Ashley was there to make sure Eve was loved.”
“Kaitlyn is a fantastic kitty sitter! She watched our kitten over Christmas and New Years keeping him healthy and happy! We so looked forward to getting her pictures of him each stay and her notes on what’s what! She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of when need be. I highly recommend Kaitlyn if you need someone you can trust to watch your kitty kitty!”

“Veronica is, by far, one of the best Rover sitters we’ve ever had. She treats our pets as if they were her own and follows instructions perfectly. We never have to wonder what’s going on at home while we are away because she keeps up updated throughout the day with photos and messages. She brings in packages for us, and leaves our house exactly how we left it. We will definitely continue to use her whenever we need a pet sitter because she provides so much peace of mind. Thanks for all you do, Veronica!!”

“My cat Chubbs loved Karen! She watched him while I was away for a week on vacation and sends so many updates on how he’s doing and what they did and sends so many cute pictures too!”
“My doggies needed a check-in at the last minute, and Arden was quick to respond to my request and ready and willing to help. My day could have been super stressful, worrying about my doggies while I was stuck away from home. But Arden, who is super reliable, made my day worry-free. Those kinds of seemingly small things make a big difference, and it's clear that Arden understands that. Highly recommend!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Christine! She cared for our dog, Winston, and our cat for 7 days with twice-daily visits, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better support while we were away. Christine went above and beyond—she sent photos at every visit, gave Winston extra time on his walks on several days, brought in our mail, and even took out our trash. It meant so much to us to know our pets (and home) were being cared for so thoughtfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a clean space, and had complete peace of mind the entire time we were gone. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
Our dog is generally nervous around new people and gets a little protective over his family and stuff, but Zach handled it very well and eased our pup into his first visit. By the end they were best buds and my dog was giving him hugs! I appreciate the professionalism Zach portrayed and the regular updates he gave to know all was going well and our pup was happy with him.
Avneet was soo good with my super high energy fur baby, Apollo. She showed up on time, was attentive and followed my instructions. She communicated with me daily and put my mind at ease by sending me photos of Apollo having fun with her. I would confidently recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Okemos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Okemos 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Okemos with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
