“We have used Morgan three times now and she has been amazing! Our dog is a senior dog with diabetes. She is deaf, blind and insulin dependent and Morgan has been great with her! She has been extremely reliable and responsive. She has also left the house in great shape each time she has stayed over. I have zero complaints.”
“Our booking was awesome! Tracey cared for our animals as if they were her own and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while we were away! Definitely 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!”
“Liz is such a sweetheart and took great care of my cat while I was traveling. Was kind enough to water my plants as well. The daily photos and updates put my mind at ease knowing my baby was being well cared for”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4 years old, mainly my own until about age 11 when I started to help out taking care of family and friends dogs as well! I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, sit, and bathe their pets since then. I’m great with pets, and enjoy playing with them as well! I’m currently working a part time job that is very flexible. I typically work 8:30am-3pm Monday-Thursday, but I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pups needs. If your pup needs constant supervision I’m free Friday-Sunday for boarding! When I pet sit in my home it just depends on what the owner and pet is comfortable with. I’ll follow the instructions on how to care for their pet because each one if different. Each one will be cared for to my best ability!
About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.
“So thankful for Katerina as she came by on such a short notice. She played outside with him for almost the whole 30 minutes. She is a reliable & caring dog sitter! Totally recommend.”
“Denni is amazing. They took great care of my cats and dog while I was away. Even my grouchy kitty warmed up eventually, and they handled a potential issue calmly and with extensive care towards my critters.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. I got my first dog at age 5. I watch my neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I do not work specific days or times, but usually work mornings, getting out around 2/3pm Unfortunately I cannot have animals at my college house per the leasing agreement. However, I will be able to come over and take care of your fur babies in their own environment.
About: Ever since I was little I’ve worked with all sorts of animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish hamster’s, birds, reptiles, and even lizards! I am studying for phlebotomy so I would love to study along with your pets! My weekends are usually an option! I will make time for your pets. I write down a to-do list of the day, to make sure I do my absolute best to take care of all of your pets
About: I grew up with golden retrievers and have watched neighbor’s pets since I was 14. I just recently graduated from veterinary school and am waiting to start my job. I can handle basic at home medical care for your pets and can catch signs of illness to bring to your attention. Your pets are in good hands! My class schedule changes daily, but I am available most afternoons during the week and am available most weekends. Please just let me know when care is needed and I will try to figure it out. I cannot board any animals as I have my own cat who can be wary of new animals in the home, but I am happy to stay at your home if needed.
About: I have a dog of my own named Suzy, who is an 8-year old rescue! She tends to be quite reactive, and has also dealt with neurological issues, so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all temperaments, abilities and ages. I’ve also had family dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience in medication administration, basic care like feeding and walks, and socialization. I’ve also volunteered with my local Humane Society and a non-profit that raises and trains future service dogs for veterans with PTSD. Lastly, I have experience pet-sitting cats and guinea pigs, so I’d be happy to look after your other pets as well! I will be graduating from MSU this spring and sticking around East Lansing throughout the summer before I go to law school. My schedule will be very free and flexible the entirety of May, June and most of July, including holidays! I currently cannot have any pets stay over at my house because my rescue Suzy is reactive, but I would love to care for your pets in their own spaces! For all visits, I will ensure your pets are always well-cared for while adapting to their specific needs. For walking, I will make sure to complete routes and distances appropriate for your specific pet based on your own experience with your pet.
“It was my first time at Rover app I was a little worried about but Lashyia was much more then I do expect from my pet’s sitting. I have 2 small dogs and they was so happy to having her every day while we were out. She is caring and did everything I did ask for, actually she did more. Thank you so much Lashyia”

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.

- 98% 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.
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.
