“Jamie took great care of our dog! Our 6 mo old puppy had just been spayed and was coming off a week and a half of very little activity so was pretty crazy but Jamie took it all in stride. She was personable, communicated well, texted updates, and even sent pictures! It was clear that she enjoys dogs - even our overly excited one. We look forward to hiring her again.”
“Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.”
About: I have known dogs for about 8 years and worked at an animal kennel for 2 years, taking care of 2-month-old puppies to 17-year-old dogs. I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
“Kyanna was wonderful with our dogs! She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly so we knew they were doing well. Highly recommend Kyanna and we will be using her again (:”
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve managed animals of all ages and I think of them as people!! From a puppy or kitten, to an older animal, they all need help being taken care of just as humans do! I’m diligent in spending quality time, administering medication or giving special attention to your animals needs, and I have fun with them! I’m a college student trying to make some extra money so I’d love to help take care of your animals and homes whenever you need!! I’d love to care for your animals in your home, as I have my own cats. I love to play in the yard, go for walks, or simply snuggle on the couch with your fur babies.
“April was amazing to have in our home with our fur babies. She gave them so much love and attention and treated them like her own. Very professional and communicated well with us the entire time with pictures and videos. Highly recommended!”
“I ended up having to cut my trip short. I had booked Makayla for four days to stay at my house and ended up coming home on the second day due to difficulties in my trip. I appreciated that she quickly modified my payment amount.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a baby, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to give each pet patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I’m available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m available afternoons, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. I’m also willing to do 4+ hours if needed just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine consistent, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
“Cody is amazing! We know our Murphy has a wonderful vacation too every time Cody is caring for him. All the pictures he shares are so appreciated. Seeing Murphy happy and smiling, really makes our time away more enjoyable.”
About: Dogs have been my biggest hyperfixation since I was 8 years old. I’m diagnosed with autism so you can trust that I won’t just ‘vaguely follow’ your instructions, I stick to them exactly. If you have a specific regimen for your pet, I’m the person who will actually get it right every single time. I do want to preface that I’m completely comfortable with high-energy dogs that need a real workout and contrary to that, senior pets that have a strict medication schedule. You won't get 'fluff' or vague updates from me, i’ll give you clear communication and the peace of mind that comes from someone who takes your pet’s routine as seriously as you do. If you need someone who won't miss a single detail, I’m ready to help ⭑.ᐟ - side note: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Because of that, pet care isn't just something I do, it’s become intuitive at this point. I don't have to guess what a pet needs; I’ve spent my life learning their body language and the specific care required for each and every one of them. I absolutely love making time for furry friends! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, primarily Mondays-Fridays which means I can truly prioritize your pets routine. Whether they need a mid-day play session to burn off energy or some evening cuddles to wind down, I’m here for it! I’m dedicated to being reliable and consistent so your pet feels totally at ease while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect and every cat as if they were my own. I’m very observant of body language and environment to make sure everything is secure. You can expect plenty of cute photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your baby is in safe, loving hands!

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 Potterville 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 Potterville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Potterville 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.
