“Kirsti B. was wonderful with drop-ins for our dog Lacie. She came twice a day for four days. Lacie is older so I was glad to have someone who I immediately knew would be perfect for her. She sent pics every visit and details about her visit. Kirsti replied to any question or comment quickly and throughly. She also sent some pics of our bunny Tiki, too. Knowing Lacie and Tiki were taking care of helped us ease our mind and enjoy our staycation to Disney. Thank you again!!!”
“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!”
“Thomas has great energy—even our super shy kitty came out to say hello when Thomas stopped by for our dog Gemma’s visit. Most importantly, when we got home from work, our girl Gem seemed so happy! It was like she had a friend over! Thank you, Thomas!”

“It was our first time using Rover to find someone to stop in daily to feed our cat "Missy" her wet food while we were away for the week. Elena gave us daily update's along with photo's of Missy at each visit. It was a comfort to us knowing that Missy was getting the attention and human contact she craves, along with feeding her favorite wet food. I would highly recommend Elena as a dependable pet sitter.

About: I used to have a pit boxer, she was the best! I then fostered and adopted a China rescue dog, named Lulu💜🐕 I also have a cat named Ralph! I love all animals, and enjoy being around them! I mostly work from home and work part time out of home. I enjoy being at home and being with the animals, relaxing and playing! I have a little patio I can have dogs on a wire/leash outside and hang out :) I also have a doggy area in my complex to let them out and play. :)
“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”
“Sam was wonderful! She did everything we asked, she was on time for our sweet baby. Took him for a great walk, she played with him and gave him food and water! We will definitely be using Sam in the future for all our fur babies needs! Thanks for the awesome care and all the pictures! Thanks for working on the Holiday so we could enjoy ours. You are greatly appreciated! Kimora is looking forward to seeing you soon and so are we!”
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with pets so I've been around them my whole life. I'm used to looking after dogs and cats and easily become attached! I'm going to school at Duke but I'm usually free on weekends and evenings. I'm just available part time, or whenever I have the time. I live in a pet friendly apartment, but I would typically take your puppers on a walk, hike, or dog park. They'd definitely have plenty of space and attention!
“Victoria was fantastic! My kitty Winwin loved her as a sitter. She was communicative, sent me tons of cute pictures through Rover Card. Offered playtime and plenty of scritches! I will definitely book with her again if possible.”
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’ve been working at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past 2 years, so caring for dogs has become something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, from high energy dogs to the more laid back ones. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me I am working part time at a dog boarding facility before I head out to the Grand Canyon National Park in October where I’ll be working at for the winter and looking for any open opportunities before I leave! I’m available for Mornings afternoons and nights to help work around your preferred schedule for your animal. With my experience I have gotten to learn how to take care of dogs with any type of personalities and needs. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow their feeding, walking, and medication instructions, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’ll also treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“This was our first time using Rover, we found Tyra listed and couldn't be more pleased! She was so friendly and did everything we asked her to do. We have become the main food source for a little family of feral cats and she came over and put their food out everyday and then stopped by later in the day to retrieve the empty dishes. We highly recommend her services!!”

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 2,621 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ortonville. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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.
