“Madeline was a great pet sitter for my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and had detailed daily updates. You can tell she really cares about the animals she takes care of, I would happily book her again!”
“Rileigh watched our two dogs and two cats for an evening. We found her personable, a good communicator, and very timely. She was fantastic with the pets - showing care and kindness to them all. Loved that she sent photos! Definitely would recommend.”
About: I grew up with a dog in the house, I've babysat families with dogs, and I've walked and watched family's dogs. I am flexible to walk and stay with your pet(s) when needed. I'm pretty flexible; I can stay the night on Mon, Wed, and Fri if needed. I can also stop by every few hours on Tues and Thurs. I'm available every other weekend. I don't have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a park a walk away with plenty of space to play. My house is in a very safe subdivision. I will always accompany the dog for potty breaks and will make sure potty breaks are every 2-4 hours.
About: I have had medium & large sized dog breeds my whole life, with a now 6 year old Australian Shepherd who requires all the energy! When he is distracted, I can then cater to my 5 amazing cats. I have experience with raising puppies & kittens, and will be available at any time of the day for your pet! I also have experience with small reptiles & snakes if additional care is needed while on trips. I am currently doing pet care full time! I plan on going back to college in Fall ‘27 for Film, and am looking to keep preoccupied until then. I love animals & would love to have some more fun in my schedule! I have experience as an EMT and handle high stress situations very well. I am aware of where all emergency vets are in the Clinton-Macomb area, and have no issue with crating when necessary. My goal is to return your pets to you safely and tired out!
About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I was a devoted owner of my Chihuahua for 13 years, which gave me extensive experience with long-term, attentive care and the needs of an aging dog. I also have experience with neonatal puppies. I helped care for a litter of 8 puppies from birth through adoption, assisting with feeding, handling, cleaning, monitoring their development, and providing consistent care until they went to their forever homes. I continue to help care for young puppies belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with puppy routines, supervision, and the extra patience they require. Additionally, I gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare during college, where I helped care for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention I would want for my own dog. My Availability 🐾 I’m unavailable Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after 4 PM on those days. I’m fully available Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with flexible availability throughout the day. Have a specific schedule in mind? Send me a booking request or message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll be happy to see how I can help! 🐾 Every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I like to learn what works best for them before each booking. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication if needed and within my comfort level, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I can follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For overnight care, I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m happy to discuss extended drop-in visits or multiple visits throughout the day and evening instead. For boarding or overnight stays in my home, arrangements need to be discussed and approved in advance since I live with my family. I’ll make sure the setup is a good fit for both your pet and my household before confirming the booking. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Dominic is amazing! He stayed with our pups over Christmas while we were away visiting family. He’s super responsive and communicative and took great care of them and our home! We’ll be booking with him again!”
“Rachel surpassed expectations during her 4 day stay at our home. Our doggy got sick right away and she was responded as if our dog was her own. She communicated often and working through the problems together, she fixed our pup right up. On top of that, she helped us clean up our home as we were unable to get to everything before going away. The place was spotless and the dog was super happy. Rachel will absolutely watch our dog again.”
About: I’ve watched all sorts of animals from rats and hamsters to puppies and adult dogs. I love animals and I want to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I have a partially blind fully deaf dog who was born like that so I absolutely have experience with disabilities and special needs. I can handle all sorts of pets i’m not scared of any animals and I believe that every animal is someone’s whole life and you need to make sure they’re treated like royalty. I also own a bunny and a kitten so whatever animal you have i’ll make sure to give them the best care possible. I am a college student and currently have classes 3 days a week but i’m hoping to move that to one or two days for future semesters. I cannot have pets in my home as i have 3 animals already. In your home I would want them to be leashed or have a fence of some sort to go outside, on walks etc. I am comfortable walking large dogs as long as they do not have a record of trying to get away. If you have any questions or concerns about specific things please feel free to ask!
“Kitty housesat and took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went away for a couple of nights. She did a great job, lots of updates and photos. I knew how well it went when I got home and my Border Collie was happy to see me, but she didn't "wig out". (This was the first time EVER that she didn't act like she hadn't seen me in years - she dies it even when I'm gone a few hours to run errands. We couldn't believe it!) Highly recommend and we'll be a repeat customer.”
About: I go by my middle name Jo! Ivy is used for legal reasons. Once upon a time, I had 2 sets of parents, 2 different households, 2 sets of pets. Dad's house had a pet whippet and lab. Mom's house had three long haired cats (I know how to clean a hairball) and a collie/German shepard/lab mix. she herded us as kids, and loved to learn tricks. I love taking dogs on walks that range from a lap around the backyard to a mile and a half loop around the area. I am equally as delighted to spend hours on the couch, lounging and reorganizing their blanket nest as needed, with all the belly rubs and chin scratches they desire. Lastly, I hesitate to offer this, but I am willing to give baths to furry friends as long as theyre not super aggressive. My cats way back in the day were fond of eating with their feet. I am available any day at any time!! :) This is a part time gig for me, I am a full time college student looking to get money for a car. I will probably discontinue this when college starts in the fall. I let my dog out into the yard with supervision twice a day, and I walk her once a day right before dinner. I keep all dogs on their leash on their walks, but a yard with a fence is free reign. I am used to animals who try to run out the door, so I know the trick to enter with your leg first to push their noses out of the way so I can slip in.
“Sarah was great with our pups and house sitting for us! She sent updates every day with pictures and ran our dogs for a long time every day! We will absolutely be using her again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was incredibly communicative, consistently sending photos, videos, and updates that put my mind at ease. She took the time to ask thoughtful, intentional questions to truly understand my dogs’ individual needs and made sure they were well cared for. She even went above and beyond by washing the bedding before she left! She eased my anxiety and treated my fur babies with so much care and attention. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”
“If you give dogs treats after they go outside, they will be much more interested in doing so in the first place. Giving them beforehand is not a proper way to train a dog. Thank you for your help!!”
About: Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal, and I’m here to make that experience stress-free! While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for furry friends, including my sisters Australian Shepard for the past 8 years. I especially love playful, high-energy dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of attention! My goal is to treat each dog like my own and make each pup feels loved and cared for while their humans are away:) I currently have lots of free time and would love to fill it up. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for day of bookings if needed:) I am good at following instructions to every detail. I enjoy exploring new walking paths if the dogs are open to it, otherwise we can stick to the usual routines.
“We are SO GLAD that we met Molly. She instantly bonded with our two dogs. We hired her to stay with them while we were out of town recently. Everything went really well. It was such a relief not having to worry about our pups. We will be hiring her again for our next trip and we highly recommend her.”
“Ella took excellent care of our fur baby and our home. She kept us updated and sent pics. We came home to a very content pet. I would highly recommend Ella and would definitely have her stay again.”
“This was our very first time using Rover and having anyone stay with our dog. We first met Jaimie for a meet and greet. You could tell from the start that Jaimie was great with dogs and our two-year-old Pitbull Opie was excited to play with her. Next, we scheduled Jaimie to do a trial one-night stay to make sure Opie would be comfortable with her staying overnight. Jaimie and Opie became fast friends! Jaimie sent us text updates and pictures. She did an amazing job and even left the cutest drawing that she did of our boy. Opie is excited to have Jaimie stay with him again soon and we are excited to go on vacation and not have to worry about our fur baby <3”
About: I have 10+ years of professional experiencing caring for animals as I worked in animal shelter and volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve cared for multiple special needs animals and specialize in felines, but I love dogs though! Especially if your dog loves a loooong walk, I’m your girl! I work full time from home so your pets will have 24/7 care and attention. I will work with your schedule to ensure this is a pleasant experience for you. My preference would be to pet sit at your home as pets enjoy the stability and it reduces anxiety. For the dog lovers, I am a big fan of long walks and play time so your pets will have a lot of distraction. For my feline lovers, I have every cat toy you can imagine and am well versed in the varying personalities they come with.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters and fish for almost my entire life. I am very passionate about animals and would love to meet yours too! I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks. I never miss giving my cat Shiraz a full, healthy meal and making sure she is healthy and up to date on all of her vaccines.
“Erin was a great pet sitter for my 2 dogs. She was reliable, respectful and my dogs were very well taken care & happy when I got home. I would definitely recommend her for petsitting services. I’m so sorry that she’ll be moving soon & will no longer be living in my area!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Romeo
This is new for us, using Anna for our senior dog. She is wonderful with dogs. We went for a full week out of the country, and Anna was great, and we were comfortable. She loves dogs, and Bailey loved her in return. Anna asked many questions to make sure she understood what Bailey needed and asked questions to clarify. We highly recommend Anna.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Romeo is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $113 per night. 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.

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 Romeo 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 Romeo 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.
Tip: 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 Romeo 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Romeo. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
