About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Carolina was wonderful and extremely kind! She made sure my two cats were well taken care of while I was out of town, giving them fresh food, water, changed their litter, and made sure to give them extra love/pets. She sent me photos everyday. I highly recommend Carolina!!”
“Our dogs LOVE Jamie! She is great at communicating with us when booking and during her check ins with our fur babies! If she ever has questions or concerns, she’s always reaching out which makes us feel even more comfortable with leaving her with our babies.”
“Alivia has come over twice now for drop in visits and the boys are loving her! She has been timely and very responsive which is greatly appreciated. From the time she gets here she is very engaged with both dogs, playing fetch with our hyper Boston and giving lots of pets to our more chill puggle. She also takes the best pictures of them while she’s here which has been adorable to receive after the visits. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
“Rileigh did an excellent job. She went an extra mile with meet and greet. She kept in communication with us and we felt very comfortable with her in our house with our cats. I would hire her again”
About: I aim to ensure that every dog in my care is taken care of to the fullest extent. Keeping your precious pet safe and loved is my duty. I know just how important dogs are in our lives, so ensuring they get the kind of treatment they get at home is essential. Loving dogs is something that comes second nature to me. Throughout my life, these pets have played a significant role. In my experience, I have watched/raised leader dogs for the blind, my dog, friends/family pets, and my girlfriend's dog often. I have 10+ years of experience working with this beautiful animal, both big and small. When taking on a new client, I'd like to schedule a meet and greet, whether online or in person; that way, we can ensure we're a good fit. That's very important to me, and also, getting able to talk will allow me to learn more about your pet and your care expectations; after all, who knows your pet more than the owner? Lastly, I love meeting new dogs, and they generally like to meet me, so I'd argue your pet, and I will get along incredibly. Being away from your best friend can be really difficult so I make it my goal to communicate as often as possible. I will make sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of all the fun your pup is having.
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

I’m obsessed with animals and dogs tend to be my best friend I walk my dog all the time.

About: I grew up around dogs and have a lot of experience caring for them. I've also had cats throughout the years and currently have two of my own. I've pet sat for family friends a few times and understand how important it is to follow routines, pay attention to details, and make pets feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and giving pets dependable, loving care. I work Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM, so I'm available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, and walks before work and again after work on those days. I'm fully available Saturday through Monday and can be more flexible with timing then. I'm reliable about following routines and making sure pets get the care they need. At this time, I only offer pet care in my clients' homes, not in my own home.

I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and I will always be respectful, dependable, and attentive to your pet's needs.
About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes growing up on a farm. I also worked as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a dog groomer & bather, so I'm comfortable handling dogs and cats of all temperaments, administering medications, and monitoring pet health. I'll make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for while you're away! I'm currently working full-time at 2 dog grooming shops. I am available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m; Wednesday and Friday before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m; Saturday before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m; and Sunday anytime after 11 a.m. I’m happy to provide walks and drop-in visits before or after those times *I do not provide boarding or overnight pet sitting* *I do not provide boarding or overnight pet sitting* *I do not provide boarding or overnight pet sitting*
About: I have been called a "dog whisperer" for my ability to patiently interact with a shy dog that I cared for in the past. I will bring that same gentleness with me when I interact with your pet. Additionally, my family has had two different dogs for the better part of fifteen years, and I have played a role in caring for each. I have a flexible schedule at this time, so I will be able to be responsive to your requests. At this time, I just need a notice of one day, and I will accept same day cancellations. When I am in your home, I will do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable with my presence. Additionally, I will be sure to learn all of the relevant house rules that you have for your pet and will correct misbehavior.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orion Township
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Alexis! She came to our home to care for Koda and Lira while we were out of town, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly kind, punctual, and attentive to our girls, making sure they received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It's always a little nerve wracking leaving your pets behind, but Alexis truly put our minds at ease. Knowing Koda and Lira were in such caring and capable hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We are so grateful for Alexis and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. We wouldn't hesitate to have her back!
Taylor has been absolutely amazing with Bodhi! From the very beginning, she has been so patient, kind, and genuinely caring with her. It’s obvious that Taylor takes the time to get to know Bodhi and allows her to become comfortable and build trust at her own pace, which means so much to me. I’ve really enjoyed watching Bodhi become more comfortable and excited about spending time with Taylor. You can tell they’re developing such a sweet bond, and knowing Bodhi is with someone who is attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoys being with her gives me so much peace of mind. Taylor is also wonderful about communicating and keeping me updated. Most importantly, I never feel like Bodhi is simply another appointment on her schedule — Taylor genuinely cares about her and it shows. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for a very special member of their family. ❤️🐾🐾
Katelyn was extremely attentive with our two cats and sent lovely, detailed summaries each day. Our cats loved the time she spent with them and they were very comfortable playing with her and being brushed and petted by her. We would definitely ask her back again! - Amy and Claudette

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orion Township is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orion Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
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.
