“Cara was great! Responded quickly to my super last minute request to watch our 5 year old Vizsla. She was very friendly and kept us updated about our baby. We would recommend Cara and would book with her again. Thanks so much.”
“Iris & Tomas helped watch our dog while we attended a pet first aid/CPR class nearby. This was our first time having anyone watch her, so we were a little nervous. They were able to squeeze us in last minute and do a meet and greet. They sent us many photos and played with her and kept her occupied until we could pick her up. We would definitely request them again if needed!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Carolina was wonderful! She is so kind. Carolina allowed Murphy and us to meet prior to our first sitting day...Murphy was able check out her house/sniff around, which made us feel more comfortable dropping him off! We were able to meet her family as well which put us completely at ease-such wonderful kids! On Murphy's first day with Carolina, she sent pics and updates of our fur-baby settling in and comfortable at her home!! When I picked him up at the end of his day, I could tell he was happy and well cared for. We will be bringing Murphy back!! We are so happy we found Carolina! She is truly lovely and so good to our 'baby'.”
“Magnolia was wiped out in the back seat before we got 10 minutes down the road! Exactly what she needs while mom and dad are at work. Brianna also sent pics and videos throughout the day, which was nice.”
About: Your Dog's Second Home :) With a 5-year-old Havanese of my own, I truly understand the love and attention your furry family member deserves. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be welcomed into a home where snuggles, playtime, and a watchful eye are guaranteed. My Havanese provides a friendly, playful companion, ensuring your dog feels right at home, not just looked after. Currently I’m working from home and given that I have a 5-year-old Havanese, pet care is already deeply integrated into my daily routine. My Havanese enjoys a structured day with regular feeding times, multiple potty breaks, and dedicated playtime. This existing schedule seamlessly accommodates additional furry guests. Your dog can join me & my dog for morning walks around the neighborhood, participate in midday play sessions in the backyard, and benefit from consistent supervision throughout the day. Having my own Havanese means I'm constantly attuned to canine needs and behaviors, making it easy to spot and address any concerns, ensuring a comfortable and happy stay for your beloved pet.
About: I am experienced with daily feeding routines, leash walking, potty breaks, and basic supervision. I take dogs on 3–4 leashed walks per day and closely monitor their comfort, behavior, and safety. I am a full time staying home mom so I have plenty of times to take care of your dogs. I want to make a schedule at least 1 week earlier. Calm, clean home with a yard (not fenced). Dogs are always supervised and taken on 3–4 leashed walks daily. I accept small, medium dogs only and host one guest at a time, alongside my friendly Cavapoochon Taco.
“Carolina was so nice! She was super flexible with me as I was in a rush dropping off my pup. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the evening. I would definitely rebook with her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. My husband and I have rescued and fostered dogs for years, and we’ve had the joy of caring for many different personalities, sizes, and needs. Our dogs have both passed away within the past year and our house is definitely missing the pitter patter of doggy feet. I’m a stay at home mom, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. The longest they’d ever be alone is 1–2 hours if I run out for groceries or errands. I have two little ones at home, so I’m selective about which dogs I host, choosing only those who are good with both kids. I like to know each dog’s routine so I can keep things consistent for them- feeding times, quirks, favorite toys, or anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. If you’re looking for a home where your pup will be treated like family, I’d love to help. 💙 As a stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day and love having the extra company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime built into my daily routine. Our home is safe, welcoming, and dog-friendly. I’m selective about the dogs I host, ensuring they are good with children. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I ONLY host one family at a time, that means your dog will be the only one in my home at a given time.
“Wonderful fun home for our pup! He has a great time! Highly recommend to others looking for a fun environment for their pup while they are out. We will definitely use them again when we are visiting the area”
“We are so happy to have found Alexis! She and her husband have a very happy, loving and fun home for my dogs and they love their time there. Alexis is very reliable, caring, personable and loves the dogs. I feel happy and confident when they are at her home!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester Hills
I’m so glad we met Cary! He’s incredibly friendly, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My Lab, Amos, took to him immediately - he actually pulled me across the driveway on his leash just to go say hello the first time they met! I think dogs instinctively know good people when they meet them. 😊 Amos hasn’t had much experience being around other dogs, but Cary put me at ease and reassured me that Amos would do great with the other dogs he was watching - and he was absolutely right. Everything went wonderfully. Honestly, I think the experience boosted my confidence even more than Amos’s. I knew he was in great hands with Cary!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rochester Hills commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.

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.
