“Steph took care of our 3 workshop cats for 9 days. She was reliable and communicated very well. She was very kind and did a great job! Will definitely hire her again if she will have us!”
“So happy to have found Kathryn. She lives close by and is a delightful and kind person who clearly loves animals (and our dogs loved her). She promptly responded to our messages and was easy to communicate with, and she gave us feedback following her home visits without us asking. We would highly recommend her.”
“Gail was great with our two poms! She took them walking and played with them. We really appreciated her and would rebook with her again. Great communication and pics. 🥰”
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Interlochen, MI. I have had dogs my whole life (2 golden's, 1 half pitbull/lab, and a beagle) and have loved them all very very much. I love taking dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them at the park. I also wouldn't mind taking them to the dog park so they could see all their friends! I am a responsible, caring person who genuinely loves animals and I work from home so have a flexible schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me :) Thanks! I work from home so have a flexible schedule! I can walk/play each day I available and work around my and your and your dogs schedule. I will watch your dog inside/outside, make sure they are safe, going potty (if outside), and staying within their parameters if they have an invisible fence.
“From the moment we met Jill we could easily see her instant bonding with our dog Sadie. A few days later Jill made a trip to our house to go over the detail of entry and dog care and to further nurture her positive relationship with our dog. Of course we were not here when Jill made her visit. But Sadie gave her a "5 paw" rating and mentioned that she would like to see Jill again. As a discrete young lady Sadie wished that Jill didn't give us detail on her "tinkle in the yard" but we certainly appreciated it. Plus the added bonus of a picture made our afternoon! Thanks Jill! Greg and Mary Jo”
“Thank you so much for the last minute care for Maddy and Bella! I really appreciate it. Thnks for the gret communication and pictures. I will let you know when I need care again”
“Another last-minute request that could not have gone better. Charles and his son took such excellent care of a foster dog ours that is very anxious and needy. 10/10 stars. Charles is the best!”
“Lola did great with Stephanie and Scott. She seemed to be perfectly content when we returned from our four-days away. Stephanie was easy to work with. Highly recommend and I would use Stephanie and Scott again.”
“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m 28 years old. I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve worked in the animal field for a long time. I work at a local veterinary clinic during the week. I am currently enrolled in the veterinary technician program as well part time. I do work full time and have a two small kiddos so my schedule is a little busy but I do enjoy the chaos! :) let me know if I can help you find a reliable, trustworthy sitter! I do currently work full time right now, my work schedule is 8-5 Monday through Friday. But I do have an hour lunch as well. I can be available before work and after depending on the schedule and during the weekends. Please message me to find out what works best for you! I will try to accommodate the best to my ability. I will always do my absolute best to follow any instructions you want done with your pet while they are in my care. Just let me know everything.
“Highly recommend Marcus! Was reliable, very loving with our senior cat, and great communication, sharing detailed check-ins and photos as requested. Thoughtful and kind, Marcus will make sure whatever you and pet need are taken care of”
“Michelle was excellent! She stopped by to get a rundown of my cat’s feeding routine before the dates I was out of town, and she was communicative throughout the days I was away. I felt very comfortable & trusted my kitty was in good hands.”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and currently have a dog & cat, both who are friendly with other pets. I am patient, reliable and deeply committed to loving and attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I’ve been trusted to walk neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and to dog-sit since I was 12, which taught me how to care for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to dogs, I’ve had cats for over 5 years, so I’m comfortable caring for both. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work nights typically from 3pm-11pm. This allows me to be very present and flexible during the day when it comes to walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have plenty of free time during both weekdays and weekends, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and adjust my schedule to meet their needs. Through regular walks, play sessions, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure every pet feels comfortable by following their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other house rules. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and feel at ease. The furniture is pet-friendly, allowing well-mannered guests to feel like part of the family rather than confined to a separate space. Outside, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore, exercise, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets at all times, especially during play and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and carefully follow all instructions. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates, make sure pets always have fresh water, and monitor behavior closely. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: Hi my name is Gillian! I recently moved to Traverse City, and I am a registered nurse. I have always been a huge dog lover and have had pups all throughout growing up, so I am experienced in caring for these furry creatures whether it is walking, playing with, or just spending time together. I also adopted a husky named Blu, and he is a sweet, playful love bug. He loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly! He is good with kids as well and appreciates when they are respectful of him. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting, or daycare/ over night care in my home. Please reach out if I can be of service to you and your pup/pups in any of these ways! :) I have a sporadic schedule right now with a lot of free days off! I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pups in your home or mine! I live in a three bedroom home near chums corner. There is a large gated in yard for your pups to play in and it’s a safe area to go on lots of walks as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
