About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
“Mackenzie did a great job taking care of my dogs. She communicated with me very well and took care of any accidents. She is a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
“Cynthia is a life saver. She came to my house on Christmas Day to be with my 6 month old pup while I was out. She gave my pup a lot of attention and play time which would have otherwise left my puppy sad and alone. I am forever grateful and loyal to her attentive, special, and professional service.”
“Matthias was an excellent dog sitter for our vacation. The dogs were very well taken care of, he went above and beyond at the house. He gave my elder dog her medication diligently and my springer lots of play time.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand that older pets may need extra patience, attention, gentle walks, medication reminders, and a little more TLC. I’m also experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and keeping dogs comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, routine, and individual needs. I work in real estate, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding depending on my schedule, with additional availability on weekends. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I have 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, and understand the importance of patience, attention, and close supervision. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Jennifer did a great job caring for whimery! She sent in-depth updated every time she was finished with her check-in. Additionally, Jennifer stayed with whimery for longer than we requested free of charge! You can really tell that Jennifer has a passion for animals. Would definitely use her again!”
“Carolina was wonderful and extremely kind! She made sure my two cats were well taken care of while I was out of town, giving them fresh food, water, changed their litter, and made sure to give them extra love/pets. She sent me photos everyday. I highly recommend Carolina!!”
“Evelyn was amazing! She is so very kind and gentle. She is also a fabulous artist. She drew an awesome picture of our cats. She captured not only what they looked like but their personalities. It was so considerate of her. I am framing it for my office!”
“Ari is the absolute best! I trust her implicitly with both of my cats and they enjoy her too (even my older cat who is very wary of people). She spends extra time with them to make sure they’re taken care of and I will continue to book her every time I need a sitter because she’s so wonderful.”

About: I’ve been caring for my 7 year old dog since she joined our family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I also have lots of experience spending time with friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats, and I truly love being around animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m currently working full-time so right now my availability is only on Saturdays and Sundays. However there might be some days during the week here and there that work for me. I love spending time with my dog through cuddling, playing, and going on daily walks. Since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and outdoor time by staying with her while she runs and plays or taking her for walks. I would give every pet I care for that same love, attention, and exercise while also following their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

I also have experience training leader dogs for the blind through Michigan State University’s program. I absolutely love dogs and will treat yours as my own. I also have several friends and family that I regularly care for their pets anytime they are out of town. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and drop ins before 9am and after 4 PM. I’m also available anytime on weekends and am open to house sitting. I’m dependable about maintaining each pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication routines while making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special preferences. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well while they’re away.
About: Taking care of your pet is my passion. I can teach your dog some new tricks! I’ve been trained to tell when a dog is overheating, what to do during seizures and how to give your pets their medications. Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits. I will be there for your animal day or night. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I have open availability! Your pet will have my full attention and love. Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.

Mekenzie stopped by twice on the Fourth of July to check on my dogs with very short notice. She followed all of my instructions, took great care of them, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated her reliability and would happily book her again.
Tyler was great! He was very friendly, easy to work with, and did great with my pets. He was flexible when I scheduled a meet and greet before the visit, and my pets immediately liked him, which says a lot, in my opinion! We would definitely recommend him as a sitter for anyone in the area!
Stephanie did a great job watching our GSP. Pictures were sent every day and it was clear to see he was getting attention and great play time. There was no issues with the holiday making the trip away more relaxed. She was flexible and communicated well as she did what was needed with her schedule keeping our pups needs in mind. Would recommend her and will be rebooking for our next trip.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rochester Hills 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.
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 Rochester Hills 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Rochester Hills with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
