About: Starting my experience with volunteering at my local veterinary clinic after school, starting in elementary to high school, that i now work part time at! A Rescue dog mom of two and two bunnies! As a part time bather with four fur babies of my own, i’d love to share my free time caring for those needed to be cared for. I take extra time to ensure your pets safety every visit by ensuring all gates and doors are shut and latched throughout visits, refill food/water when needed, check the security of collars, harness and leash before exiting home, be sure to secure your pet in a safe space in your home before leaving your visit, and send photos of your pet with any additional notes and information!

About: Hello! I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been for 20 years with a primary focus in surgery and dentistry and management. I love animals and have worked my entire adult life with them in some capacity. I have a 15 year old female spayed Chihuahua, 10 year old male neutered Portuguese Water Dog, and 2 cats, all indoor. I do not have the time or room to have more animals of my own which is why I would love care for your fur babies as my own when you are unable. This will allow me to enjoy more animals, of all breeds/sizes, but on a part-time basis...which is more accommodating to my lifestyle. Because of my veterinary experience and knowledge basis; you will not only be getting an amazing pet sitter, but one who can recognize a problem and address it appropriately if needed. I have the ability to bring your fur baby to a near by vet clinic if needed. I am currently working from home, so I have the ability to provide 24/7 care to your fur baby. I'm currently working remote, so I am available to provide pet care 24/7. I would rather late morning visits, drop offs....but can accommodate early morning with notice. I have a yard with an invisible fence and extra collars for dogs that use them. Otherwise I have a tie out in my yard for potty breaks. I have a litter robot for our cat friends. However, I keep pets inside most of the time for safety and comfort.

“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”

About: Being a dog walker allows me to combine my love for animals with physical activity and the outdoors. I'm excited about the opportunity to care for and spend time with furry companions while providing them with the exercise and attention they need. I would love the opportunity to help out with your dog. I unfortunately am not close enough to my job that allows me to let my dog out during the day. I am at work by 8am and hope by 4:45. It can be earlier if needed. I am a teacher and have the lovely teacher schedule. Overall, my approach to pet care is centered around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs to ensure they live happy and fulfilling lives as valued members of the family.

About: Hi ! My name is Cat, and I currently reside in Waterford, MI. I am an animal lover who grew up with cats and dogs my whole life, so I definitely know what I’m doing when it comes to taking proper care of pets. I currently do not own any pets, so I truly enjoy being able to be help people with their furry children! Every time I hang out with friends you can always find me sitting with their dog or cat on the couch 🐶🐱 I enjoy pet-sitting as a way to be more active outdoors, earn extra income, and be around some cute dogs and cats ! My experience thus far includes watching my next door neighbor’s three Shih Tzu dogs (approx. 7 years) along with their 4 ducks (approx. 4 years), my sister’s Golden Retriever and 3 Domestic Shorthairs (approx. 5 years) and my parent’s chihuahua (10 years). As well as many other friend’s and acquaintance’s pets on and off Rover. I am currently a part time student for the summer and only have online classes. The remainder of my time can be spent devoted to your beloved pets ! I live in an apartment, so I would prefer only hosting small pets. I am totally open to dog walking/house sitting. I have references available as well.

About: Hi, I'm CJ! I moved to Michigan from Texas in August 2024 and grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, caring for pets is second nature to me. Starting June 14, I will be on a break from my teaching job and home full time, giving your pet plenty of attention and care. I have a spacious, fenced backyard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood that is perfect for safe play and fresh air. Your pet will be well cared for in a calm, comfortable home environment. Special Offer: First time using Rover? I can give you $20 off your first booking—just ask me for the promo code! I spend my mornings walking and feeding the pets, making sure they start the day happy. While I’m at work, my partner—who works from home—plays with and walks the dogs. Our afternoons and weekends are flexible and depend on the weather, so we change our plans to make sure the pets get the best care. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a visit to the park, or a trip to the dog park, we always focus on keeping them happy and healthy. In my home, safety is number one. I maintain a secure space with pet proof surroundings, crate training for added security. During walks, no pets will be unleashed. Play dates are not just for fun but closely monitored to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care.

About: My experience comes from years (starting "professionally" at 13- 22 years ago!) of caring for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I've fostered dogs, cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-pet home and has long provided pet sitting, I know how to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I’ve always had pets and come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses. Ive also pet sat starting at around age 10 and some of these jobs included birds, donkeys, and fish. I’d be thrilled with even the smallest job, no matter how last minute! I have a very flexible schedule working remotely. I can likely make anything work! I am open to any day or days of the week. My pets were always allowed free rein of our house, but i will obviously respect any boundaries in your home! Any specific instructions will be followed.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Ortonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ortonville is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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 2,541 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ortonville. 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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
