“Amanda was great with our Cat. She went above and beyond and filled my bird feeders, checked my hanging baskets, and made sure to give my cat lots of love and attention. I would 10 out of 10 recommend, or use her again!”

“We had a great experience with Mike!! Could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter. He was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated and responding promptly to messages. He shared lots of photos and followed all instructions, making sure our dog received care and attention. She can be a handful sometimes :). He even called when we ran out of food on the last day, to see how we wanted to handle that. It’s clear that Mike genuinely cares about the pets he looks after and he gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We will absolutely use his services again. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Mike!! 🐾🤩”

About: I am a reliable and compassionate dog sitter/walker with a very flexible schedule. I have worked with all kinds of pets, from Shih tzsus to German Shepherds, as well as puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I believe dogs enjoy my calm yet present presence. I am an online college student and have a very flexible schedule right now for house sitting, walks or check-ins. I would love to take care of your dogs or cats! Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize their comfort and well being. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and energy levels, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I also enjoy cozying up with pets during quiet downtime and playing calm music to help create a relaxing atmosphere. My goal is to provide a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away, and I am happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind. I am also respectful of clients' homes, keeping spaces clean and tidy and leaving everything as I found it.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm and have dog sat for friends and family since I was 12. I have both experienced training a puppy of my own and also taking care of a senior dog. I like being active and outside so I would love to take you dogs for walks and play with them while you are gone. I have 1 dog of my own, she is a very energetic cane corso! I’m currently a college student so I have a very flexible schedule with 2 hours in between some of my classes. On weekdays I would mostly be available for drop in’s. To let your pets outside and play with them until I need to get back school. Fridays and weekends I am completely free. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have lots of land so I trained my dog with an invisible fence so she knows not to wonder off with a human with her. My dog does have her own room that acts as a crate.

About: I’ve worked with shelter dogs and have dog sat for family & friends. I have experience administering medications, consistent let out times, and dog/cat enrichment! I work part time and have open availability after work as well. Working only three days gives me flexibility on my time off, meaning plenty of time to play, walk, and hangout. I maintain four fish tanks and care for two cats! The cats have a catio and plenty of towers to scratch, play, and climb on.
“Keilyn did great with our 2 dogs. She came and checked on them while we were gone on a short family trip. She loved on them and made sure they had food and water while we were gone. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Hunter was communicative and very responsible. He replied to my request immediately as well as follow up messages. He was prompt and did exactly what we had discussed. I'll definitely use Hunter again.”

About: Pet Experience I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. 🐾 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and keeping pets company. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique routine. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care! 🐶🐱💕 Availability I am currently available on weekdays and weekends with flexible scheduling. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work around your schedule to ensure your pet gets the care they need. Safety & Trust Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🐾 I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your furry friend, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 💕
“Eric was so thorough in meeting and getting to know our dogs, he was kind and nice as well as right on time! He is very fluent in the nature of dogs and I feel so comfortable and safe leaving my babies with him. I will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I always take care of friends/family pets and am the go to person. I am looking to expand my skills working with animals in communities! I do work full time, but am looking to fit in walks or drop in services and sitting when available with notice ahead of time. Depending on my schedule, times may vary, but I am always available for a chat to see if a service can be fit in! I am available to drop in or stay in your home for your pet. I am very detailed oriented and follow any instructions for them!
About: Hi! My name is Marissa, I’m 29 years old, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’m caring, dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand just how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I recently completed my Associate of Arts in Psychology, which has been an important personal accomplishment for me. While my education has focused on people, patience, communication, understanding behavior, and paying attention to individual needs are qualities I also bring into the way I care for animals. I have around 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs and more than five years of experience helping care for other people’s pets. Over the years, friends, family, neighbors, and Rover clients have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, supervise, and care for their animals. Having cared for dogs with different breeds, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs has taught me that every dog is an individual. Some want to spend their time playing and exploring, while others would happily curl up beside you all day. Some warm up immediately, while anxious or shy dogs may need extra patience and space to become comfortable. I believe in getting to know the animal in front of me rather than expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also have a dog of my own, Flicka, so I understand the other side of pet care too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with another person and how reassuring it can be to know they’re safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I’m interested in continuing to expand my knowledge of animal care, including completing pet CPR and first-aid training. I would also eventually like to further my education in areas such as grooming and dog behavior and training. Most importantly, when your pet is with me, I want them to be treated with the same patience, affection, attention, and respect that I would want someone to give my own dog. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including many mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate different routines, whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, midday walk, afternoon playtime, evening visit, or more consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, potty, medication, and sleep schedule so their routine is disrupted as little as possible while you’re away. I also have my own dog, Flicka, so caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, walks, behavioral needs, household rules, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s established routine. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and other safety measures are secure, and I never assume that every animal has the same needs or comfort level. For pets staying in my home, I have my own dog, Flicka. Because every dog has a different personality, I want to make sure everyone will be comfortable together before an extended stay. Introductions and meet-and-greets are very important to me. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience, work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.
About: I'm honest, dependable, caring, kind and very experienced caregiver to animals with all sorts of needs. I tend to like animals more than humans, if I watch your dogs or cats, its likely I will also take out your trash and do your dishes because I'm like that. I'm currently retired, however I travel quite a lot, but when I'm not travelling, I have 100% availability 7 days a week and all hours. Pets tend to do well with routine, thus I would stay on whatever your pet's routine usually is... if your dog is active that is a +++ as we rarely sit at home and do nothing, but oif your pet likes to just be home then we can do that as well.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Petoskey is $25

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Petoskey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
