“Amazing sitter! Jessica is very easy to work with, has a great personality, and got along great with the dogs! We are very pleased with the service and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter! Thanks again!”


About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
“Victoria always showed up on time and ready to engage my dog! She sent reports, called out anything unusual, and practiced tricks with him. I can tell my dog had a great time!”

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.
About: When I was a child, I have grew up in an animal loving home raising dogs of many breeds and sizes, including cats as well. Friends, family and neighbors would have me dog sit and or cat sit for them while they would be gone for work or out on a day trip somewhere with their friends or families. I currently am a proud owner/dog mom of my beautiful and very loving fur baby Australian Shepherd Bailey. I am available all week long and occasionally on weekends as well depending. So I have plenty of time to play, walk and let your pups out. My fur baby loves her walks, treats, play time and lots of belly rubs. I would love to give your fur baby the utmost pawsitive same treatment as well.
About: There has never been a time when A fury friend wasn't by my side! I have experience in different doggo personalities and struggles. I live with 4 fur kids, A Black lab who has some anxiety, A class clown golden doodle, and an old man chihuahua with Gimpy legs. Oh and can't forget the illusive Orange cat! As a fellow pet parent I understand the different needs and desires of each pet. Currently Unemployed so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets as much as you want for them. My only "line of work" is my crochet business run by me. Our four pets have a fenced in yarn they play in and while I am not currently taking other pets in for boarding right now, our pets are well taken care of just like your will be.

About: Hi, I’m Katie 👋🏻 Caring for dogs isn’t just something I love; it’s what I do every single day! I currently work as a Shift Leader at a very busy dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I’m also experienced with medication administration of all kinds and following detailed care routines, so you can feel confident your dog’s needs will be taken seriously while you’re away. You can expect plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Have questions or a specific need for your pup? Feel free to send me a message! I’d love to learn more about your dog and see how I can help. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)! ❤️ My work schedule at my kennel job is posted 1–3 weeks in advance, which makes it easy for me to plan around bookings and provide reliable care. Whenever I’m not at work, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. On my days off, I have extra flexibility and can spend more one-on-one time with your pup, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or simply giving them ALL of the attention and companionship they deserve. Overnight stays are accepted on a case by case basis depending on my work schedule. During walks and drop-in visits, my focus is on safety, enrichment, quality of care, and making sure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether that means a long walk, playtime in the yard with some toys, or a good cuddle session, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Before each booking, I’ll get to know their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any behavioral quirks or preferences. I’m trained in canine first aid and CPR, and my experience in a busy boarding and daycare facility has taught me how to stay calm under pressure and handle unexpected situations.
“Rachael took awesome care of my fur babies while I was out of town. She sent picture updates and made me feel that my pets were well cared for and in good hands! She is very sweet and I would definitely have her check in on my animals again! Thank you :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and I have recently found a deep love for cats. I have 2 large English mastiffs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes! I work full time as a group home manager so I have so many years of caring for humans. I have plenty of free time to stop in and take care of your babies! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. On your routine and follow directions step by step for what your fur baby needs!

About: I grew up with Labs and currently have two of my own (both 11 years old) so I’m well versed in everything from puppy energy to senior dog care. I’ve dog sat for friends and family over the years through both check-ins and overnight house sitting, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. I work from home full-time, so I have flexibility most days of the week including weekends. I offer drop-in check-ins, dog walking, and overnight house sitting — and since I’m home throughout the day, last-minute requests are usually manageable. Feel free to reach out and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I treat every client’s home with respect and stick to whatever routine works best for your dog. I work from home so for house sitting I’m around consistently throughout the day — your dog won’t be alone for long stretches. All walks are on leash and I pay close attention to body language and surroundings. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, medications, or routines you have in place.

About: I absolutely adore spending time with dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while their families are away. Whether it’s energetic daily walks, playful park adventures, or calm drop-ins with plenty of belly rubs and treats, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. With my flexible schedule as an Audiologist Assistant and Pilates instructor-in-training, I’m often available for morning, midday, or evening walks and can accommodate last-minute needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (including seniors and high-energy pups), and I’m comfortable with basic medications, special diets, or following any custom routines your dog needs. Pet parents can count on me for frequent photo and text updates so you never miss a moment. Safety is my top priority — I always use secure leashes, check for hazards, and follow your instructions to the letter. I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and believe in treating every pet like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, enthusiastic dog walker who will give your furry friend the best care possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

About: I've had a love for dogs since I was a little kid! My parents have always had a dog that I helped take care of.

I love little dogs and would love to meet yours and take him or her for a little walk or make sure they are taken care of while you're away!

I am available most of the time with my current schedule. I'd love to help you care for your best friend! Message me if you have any questions. :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can pop by to check on your pet! I love going for walks but would prefer to walk smaller or medium dogs. I have three dogs that are very loved and cared for. I have a large yard that is fenced in and lots of toys and treats to share!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ortonville
Daisy as usual went over and above expectations. She exercised Henry with a morning walk and play session everyday. Played fetch, and tug of war and even provided him with new toys and a cupcake. When Daisy arrived on day two our door handle button broke and she could not get in. Daisy didnt flinch she immediately reached out and informed us and was able to use an alternate entry point. Daisy listens and takes notes on special request and instructions. She has a unique ability to capture amazing photos of our pup as well. We would without hesitation reccommend Daisy to others.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Silver is truly phenomenal! She combines excellent communication, patience, and reliability with a warm and caring approach that made me feel completely at ease leaving my two Akitas in her care. She kept me updated throughout my trip, and I could see how comfortable and well-loved my dogs were with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ortonville 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 Ortonville 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 .

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 Ortonville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
