“Annie has been watching my cat Figgy for 8 years, and recently took care of him and my kitten Marty. They both loved her, she’s someone I know I can trust with my babies. She takes great photos too”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover since I was a child. Have experience pet sitting, dog walking through walker apps, as well as experience training my own dogs! I’m currently living a remote lifestyle so I will be home with your pet for most hours of the day! Plenty of time for attention and walks! I always make sure to leash your pets before ever leaving my house. I live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of areas for walks.
About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.
“Phoenix is always reliable, communicative, friendly, and obvious cares about the animals she's charged with caring for. We've used her cat visit/care services many times and will continue to do so.”
About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.
About: Hi! I love animals and am more than happy to care for yours. I'm working a full time 8-5, but I still am offering some services as available. I can watch your pet over a short or long period of time, and I have experience with both small and large dogs. I will care for your pet and make sure your doggo is having a fun time and can send pictures as well! I love dogs and have had them around my whole life. I am allergic to cats (but if you have just one cat in addition to dogs, I've been able to be comfortable) We can negotiate prices as well! I will give your pets the attention they need and ensuring they're in a safe, happy environment. I care for my pets by listening to their needs and giving them desired attention! Lastly, I've been wanting to start this up again to donate to other dogs in need, for places like Dog Aide or Bark Nation specifically. I work in Auburn Hills, and my avaliablity is mainly on weekends & holidays. If you are okay with an 8-hour workday, I'm more than willing to sit during the week! I am not providing services in my home at this time. My dogs listed on Rover live with my parents:) I mainly will provide house sitting due to my availability.
“Brandon was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He went above and beyond to make sure Gable was well cared for, even picking up after his toys and surprising him with a new one! He was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly went the extra mile. I really appreciated the care he showed, and I would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend!”
About: With 24 years of experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, I provide loving, personalized care for each pet so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pup will enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention in my home with a large fenced yard, friendly resident dog, and nearby parks to explore. Dogs are family here—free to roam, relax on the furniture, and feel right at home! I care for only up to three small- and medium-sized dogs at a time, ensuring every pup gets the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 ❤️ I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide dogs care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
“Callie is a fantastic cat sitter and provides so many helpful details to let us know the cats and are home are all in good shape. Also our cats are a little temperamental and melodramatic and they all love her.”
“Jillian did a wonderful job checking in on our cats and administering medication to our Meeko while we were away for the holiday weekend. She provided detailed report cards and took the most adorable pictures! Jillian was always very responsive and communicative throughout the weekend and we felt happy and at ease knowing our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely rebook her!”
“Chelsea was great. She really helped me out when I was in a pinch to find a sitter. I came home to a very happy and excited pup. He ran right up to me and was dancing around, I imagine he was trying to tell me about his new friend.”
“For the first time I left my 4 cats with someone that I did not know at all and fore sure I was worried about it. But Alan gave me a sense of confidence when we met for the beforehand visit. Easygoing and flexible, he sent pictures and comments everyday. He followed instructions which is important. I highly recommend Alan as pet sitter and will call him back for my next trip.”
“Heather and Robert are super friendly, and do a great job with our dogs! They are quite accommodating, our schedules frequently change without much warning, but they are always able to be counted on!”
About: Hi there! Thank you for visiting my pup care profile! I have extensive experience caring for every breed and size dog, especially senior care. I have cared for 2 senior pups of my own and within the family. My last girl made it to 16! My current fav senior is named Barney and he is 14 🐾 My dog now is a young fellow, a Yorkie mix rescue who gives me a run for my money 😆 He is the cutest! As for what I offer, I will always go above and beyond to ensure complete comfort for your specific and unique furry fam member! Making sure they are content as a bee, after having spent a stroll/visit together :) I take tons of pics on my visits and truly enjoy giving updates, so you can definitely expect utmost care for your pet when I am there !
“Emily was so accommodating for our last minute booking of a drop-in visit on a holiday! I know the pups enjoyed her visit and their play time just from looking at their happy faces in the pictures! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a friendly sitter for their pets 😁”
About: Hi, I’m Rebecca and I would love to watch your dog. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for little dogs! We had a small dog for over 18 years. I understand how your dog is truly another member of your family and would care for him like a member of my own. Being a RETIRED teacher, my availability is ideal - I’m almost always home...especially for summer vacations! We are up early and I am home most of the day. On the weekends you’ll also usually find me spending time with my family and sometimes at the ballpark . But your pet will have company often. My home is located in Huntington Woods which is a wonderful city to walk your dog around. I look forward to meeting your pup and offering excellent care while you are away for work or play. I am up early for quick walks and potty breaks. My husband leaves much later or sometimes works from home, so another morning potty break is a definite. I’m usually home because I’m now retired! We are a home body family by nature, so we give plenty of attention to our guest dogs. We had a very small dog ourselves (Harley passed 3/13/23), so our yard is very carefully fenced to make sure there are no escape routes😂 Our children are older as well, so toys and snacks are not all over the floor anymore. We keep a tidy, yet pet friendly home and pets are always welcome on our couches or chairs!
About: I have had pets my entire life. I went through some obedience training with my last dog. My daughter is 13 and has been around dogs all her life as well. We would love to cuddle and play with your dog while they are in our care! We have a big fenced-in yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We are available to board your dog on weekends, in particular, but weekdays as well if they are able to be inside for a long portion of the day. We are also available to do evening and weekend drop ins and/or walks. We are very recently pet free so all our love will go to your pet! I work full-time, Monday through Friday. I do work one Saturday/month but have a day off in the week. My daughter is in school until 3:30. Depending on the time of year, she may be home by 3:45. She does participate in a fall sport and dance so some evenings we are gone for about 90 minutes while she is at dance class. Our weekends are generally very open, but we would not take a dog on weekends we had limited availability. We have a large, fenced-in yard and live in a family-friendly neighborhood. We would follow all guidelines for walking, bed time, feeding, etc. provided by the pet parent. We will treat your dog as our own.
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 10 years! I’ve taken care of my 3 poodles for the past 10 years and recently became a new cat mom! I’ve also boarded pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding and potty routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am fully available to fit caring for pets anywhere in my schedule! I will do my best to be flexible and accommodating! I can work all hours of the day! I have 2 cats of my own who are provided with all of their necessities and most importantly an environment where they can be free to explore safely and play constantly! I care for my cats like they are my children! And I will do the same for yours.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Ridge
Jessica has been doing drop-ins with our pup while we are at work for a month now. She is warm, kind, and great with our dog, and she also is extremely responsive and a great communicator with us through the app. We were very nervous about the transition to leaving Pepper home alone all day (we had previously worked from home), but Jessica's kindness and consistency with coming to see her at lunch has helped make the transition a smooth one!
She’s just outstanding! I have dogs with various medical needs and she makes sure that medications are given in time, helps with ambulation, makes sure both dogs have done their business and gives lots of attention and affection while I’m away. And is also seeing to the needs of my three cats, too! She’s got a lot to take care of every time she comes over to my house and I know everything will be taken care of. I highly recommend her! 😀
Ally is great! While I’m at work, my mind is at ease, knowing that she is loving on and taking great care of my baby. Reading the little note and looking at the photos is something I look forward to during the day. My girl always looks so happy in the photos when she is with her
Kat goes above and beyond for our dogs while my partner and I are working long hours! She gives them treats, brings extra toys for them to play with, and generally just gives them a ton of love while she’s visiting. In the pictures she takes, you can see how happy our dogs are when they are being cared for by her. Her schedule is really flexible and she has saved us a couple of times when we’ve had to ask for her help fairly last minute. I’m so glad we found her for our senior pups!
Jodi did an exceptional job petsitting for us while we were away for 5 days. She took on a somewhat challenging schedule with three very different pets with different needs. She was timely, reliable, caring, engaging and communicated well throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pleasant Ridge is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 3,603 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pleasant Ridge. 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 Pleasant Ridge 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 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.
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.
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 Pleasant Ridge 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 Pleasant Ridge. 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 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.
