“Nicole stayed with my dog Boggs for a long stay while I was out of town. Aside from her amazing communication and status updates, I could tell Boggs was super well cared for in all ways. She made sure he was not only fed, watered, and walked, but mentally stimulated and loved on. I came to him happy, relaxed, and in great mental and emotional shape. Nicole is the best!”
“Katharyn was incredible. She watched our dog and cat and sent tons of photos, was a dream with communication and left the house in perfect shape when we came home. I was so nervous because this was my first time leaving the pets and house, but after day 1 I was at complete ease and able to focus on my work trip! Will definitely rebook!”
“Fatima was amazing! This is the first time we’ve left our dog with someone other than family, and she eased my nerves from the very beginning. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and accommodative with Stella’s needs. I would highly recommend her services and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you, Fatima!!”
About: ’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. While this is my first time offering pet care on Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and flexible with my schedule. I’m especially good with cats and enjoy giving them the patience and attention they need, but I’m also happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and general pet care. I’m a college student here in Ann Arbor so my main time commitment is classes, but I’m very flexible outside of this time. I have Fridays and weekends open, as well as some mornings and evening throughout the week. I keep pets safe and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention. In your home, I treat your pets like my own and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
“I am always glad when Robert is available to house sit my cat and dog. With him, my dog gets to take many, long walks. My cat likes to be near him, that is not true of everyone.”
About: I grew up with a dog for 11 years and have dog sat and house sat for several friends through the years. I love staying active so am happy to run or walk to get some energy out. I'm a very kind and respectful person. I work mid-shifts (10:00-6:00pm and 11:00-7:00pm) so I can do morning care and late lunch care. I am open Saturdays and Sundays so can provide weekends. If you want to see my 30+ Airbnb reviews of being a respectful and tidy guest in people's homes, I am happy to share those. I have a tiny apartment sadly don't offer boarding at my place.
“Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!”
“Alyssa was an amazing sitter for my dog, who does not get along with everyone! Alyssa was patient and very attentive to my dog’s needs and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Rafael goes above and beyond for Miles and always makes us feel comfortable with frequent updates and pictures we don’t have to ask for. Our pup enjoys hanging out with him and we’re very happy to have found such a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary nurse that lives in Ann Arbor and works full time in a specialty hospital. I have 10 years of experience working in veterinary medicine and have owned cats and dogs my whole life! I have fostered over 50 dogs and love all dogs and cats regardless of breed, size, temperament, health conditions - nothing will scare me away! I can medicate cats and dogs, exercise them how they please, I can stay on top of potty training, and I am capable of the high maintenance care some of our senior pets require. *must be a smoke-free home for overnight stays I work Tuesday through Friday 8am-6pm and I can come home on my lunch break if needed and if your home is within 15 minutes of my work place. I have been on the other side of Rover before, so I understand how stressful it is to find the right sitter and how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with your fur baby! I will care for and love your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all house rules (no dogs on the furniture,etc) and respect your home as if it is my own. I can assure you that you will come home to the way you left it. I will never leave your pet for longer than I have to (when I am at my full time job) and will honor the schedule we agree on. I will always send photo updates if you please! I hope it gives you peace of mind leaving your pet with me given my background and career!
“Jessica was wonderful! We have a large 1.5 year old dog who specializes in overwhelming newcomers to our home, but Jessica radiates such a calm and confident energy that our dog was transformed! Instead of bounding around she sat quietly for scratches and acted like she’d known Jessica for years. In addition to being a little overwhelming, our dog gets car sick, needs motility medication and is a bit of a quirky eater, but it felt great knowing she was in such capable hands and we came home to a healthy and happy pooch. Jessica kept us in the loop and was an excellent communicator. I would absolutely reach out to Jessica for our next trip!”
“Really impressed with Beau's professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and support. Chris was (obviously) happy and healthy when we got back as well. Really appreciated the whole experience.”
“Rani & her husband took such great care of our fur babies! They stayed in our apartment and were very respectful of our space and keeping it clean/tidy. We got numerous updates with photos daily. They truly cared for our pups like they were their own. I felt very at ease and would highly recommend!!”
“Elayna stayed with our dog Winnie for the weekend while we were away. As always, she was communicative and professional. Winnie loves her and her dog Bowie and we trusted that she was in great hands while we were away!”
“We had an excellent experience with our house/pet sitter, Gordon. I was nervous having a stranger in our home and with our pets, but from the start, he was great at communicating with me. That continued while we were away with daily texts and photos. It put our minds at ease knowing they were being taken care of so well. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. He even went out of his way to schedule things around our dog who requires special attention and medication. Would definitely book again.”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
“Tj was wonderful with our cat! He loves animals and animals love him. Shoni was so relaxed and happy with him. He kept the house clean. We came back to a happy kitty and a clean home. Definitely rebooking!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsfield Township
Ava is the best. This was our first time using Rover for a sitter and was so pleased with Ava’s professionalism. She showed up when promised and gave us updates while we were away. Her warm presence gave us comfort leaving our sweet Abby while we were gone. We will be definitely feel comfortable booking with Ava in the future.
Michael did a great job caring for our dog while we were away for a long period. He even gave her eye drops twice a day he also helped water some new plants which was greatly appreciated. He was also very respectful of our space. We’d love to have him sit for us again!
Emily is the best sitter I’ve EVER had in ten years of pet ownership! She stayed at our house for 2 and a half weeks taking care of our dog and cat while we were on our honeymoon. Emily truly went above and beyond in every way to make sure our babies got their needs met, including keeping our terrified terrier mix safe and comforted when a tornado hit Ann Arbor in the middle of the night. Our pup also had an unexpectedly bad reaction to some construction work on our street, and Emily made extra efforts to calm his nerves and adapt to a new medication regiment on the fly. She also sent us regular updates that clearly demonstrated how much both pets had bonded with her, and was prompt and conscientious whenever any issues came up. I would not hesitate to recommend Emily’s services to anyone seeking dog or cat care.
June is amazing. My dogs are high demand dogs, with many special needs and June could handle that amazing. I came back home with them calm as she made her best to keep their routines followed. She kept good communication and made me aware about any issues or questions. I really appreciate June for her such good care
Rachel was great to Lucy and Stella. They may be disappointed we are back. Rachel was attentive to their needs and kept me updated on any issues that arose. She reached out to confirm our return time to ensure there was not a large gap of time between her departure and our return. The home was left very clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Rachel again for future travel dates.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pittsfield Township walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pittsfield Township maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Pittsfield Township 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
