“Madison did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! They are still figuring out how to live in a house with people (after 2 years in a shelter) and she was very respectful of their boundaries. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire highschool career and I'm keeping it going while I'm in college. I have cared for big, small, older, and special need dogs. I can handle any challenge the pet may bring. I grew up with cats, dogs, fishes, and Axolotls, always at least 4 animals in the house at one time! I'm at school from 8:10am-11:30am On Monday-Thursday with plenty of time for check ins morning, afternoon, and evening. I am often busy on Fridays during the spring and fall but my weekends are completely open! I am familiar with care for all types of dogs and their quirks, I give frequent walks, make sure food and water is available, and play with them. I like to provide as much comfort as I can to pets that miss their owners.

“Camrynn did a great job on very short notice from me! My cats, Harambe and Javy, looked forward to her visits and all of the pets she gave them. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Camrynn on day one!”
“Madelyn was AMAZING! We only booked her for 30 minutes, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. In that short time, she was able to take my dog for a walk and help burn off some of his energy while I was at work. She was wonderful with communication, and I loved getting to see the photos she took of him during their visit. She also saved me with such a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was available to help with my pup! I highly recommend Madelyn! 🐾💕 Thank you so much Madelyn”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little with my own dogs as well as dog sitting family members and others pets as well. I have pet sat for Great Danes as well as small dogs. I’m currently in undergrad at Michigan State and hope to go to school to be in the Veterinary field. I’m currently in Undergrad at Michigan State but I come home on weekends to Grand Rapids when I can. I’m open during the evening as well as weekend in general. I spend time with pets and make sure they get the care they need. I also make sure to play with them and engage them to build trust.
“She was phenomenal with my cats! Gave headsup before starting each checkin, followed their schedules and kept them separate while still spending individual time with them. My super shy cat immediately warmed up to her too, which was an instant relief! 10/10”
“Very happy I found and hired Karen. She put my mind at ease having her care for my Bella baby. Bonus is that she's a retired RN. She really cares for the pets she takes care of and treats them as if they're her own. I will definitely hire her again.”
“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!”
About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
About: I have dogs since I was very little. I have also participated in the training of my dogs and always love to use positive reinforcement to make pets their best selves! I'm currently working for myself with Doordash and Rover. My schedule is completely flexible and I am open to last minute bookings if messaged directly. I am respectful of my client's home and always down for staying in and playing/relaxing with your pet or going out for walks. I also have a car and can take them to the nearest dog park or on an adventure!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Okemos. On Rover:

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.
