Isabelle has helped us out with occasional drop-in visits for our small dog and she is great! Our pup has been well-cared for and Isabelle was even available on relatively short notice. She is very communicative and we will definitely hire her again!

Sarah was such a wonderful and caring sitter for my cat. She always was on time and kept me informed with every visit on the needs or wants from my sweet boy. Sachi is an aloof kitty but within a day or two, he had warmed up to Sarah’s gentle & kind nature. I felt my sweet boy was in the best of care and I would highly recommend Sarah to watch over your precious babies anytime.

January really went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for the holiday. We loved seeing the pictures she sent from every drop in, and you could tell that our cats were immediately comfortable around her. We’d hire her again anytime!

About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for my English Bulldog, Loki, for seven wonderful years, and I’ve also provided long-term pet sitting for family and friends. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 As a college freshman, my light class schedule gives me plenty of time to devote to your pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I make it a priority to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I follow their daily routines closely—whether that means regular walks, feeding, playtime, or medication—so their schedule stays consistent.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. Through my Rover bookings, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with many different personalities, including shy, nervous, and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog adjusts differently, so I always let them move at their own pace while building trust through kindness, consistency, and positive interactions. In addition to my Rover experience, I volunteer at my local Humane Society, where I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and energy levels. I’m also the proud dog mom of a rescue puppy, whom I trained using positive reinforcement. That experience taught me the importance of patience, structure, and making every dog feel safe and confident. During walks, I’m happy to reinforce the training you’re already working on by encouraging good leash manners, basic commands, and polite walking habits using positive reinforcement. Whether your dog loves long adventures, playing fetch, or taking things slow, I’ll tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. As a fellow dog mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how expensive pet care can become. That’s why I strive to keep my prices fair while providing dependable, personalized care that never compromises on quality. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, safe, and comfortable while giving owners complete peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and communication. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like part of my own family. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays on weekends and weekday ; and walks any day! I look forward to providing dependable, loving care and making every visit a positive experience for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a spacious, climate controlled home. I also volunteer at my local Humane Society, where I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

My dog is a bit of a challenge. He is really timid, and it takes him time to get used to people. Rani won him over quickly and took good care of him. Her communication was great, and she gave a lot of details about each of her visits. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have had 2 cats and 3 dogs in my life span. My first job was at a doggy daycare. My cousins are currently managers at that doggy daycare so I have learned a lot more about pets. I have taken care of pets with certain medications that need to be taken in a timely manner and have fed dogs with certain feeding habits such as a slow feeder bowl. I also have taken care of pets that were at one point strays and are becoming accustomed to their new home. So before becoming a pet sitter I worked 2 jobs as one as a biomedical engineer and the other as just a normal Home Depot associate. I decided to leave Home Depot as it just became too much for me as they were both full time jobs and so I am just a biomedical engineer now. I work the pet care around my daily job as a biomedical engineer and don’t let my daily job affect the care of a persons pet. So when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet the owner knows best like no one can know your pet more than you do so I will follow your instructions to the smallest detail and I will take care of your pet just as you would and never do anything with out the owners consent. Because you need to feel comfortable and confident in me taking care of your pet so you can relax and feel good about being away from your pet.

About: What I think sets me apart from other sitters would be my genuine love for all animals and my experience. I have over 13 years of experience with animals (mostly with my own) but also caring for my neighbors/friends & some pet owners on this app. Over the years, I have had 5 cats (one currently) 2 fish, 1 dog & 2 hamsters. I work as a flight attendant, so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to manipulate my schedule if needed! I am able to accommodate dates & times if let know ahead of time. I have one cat at the moment and she is my baby! My boyfriend works from home while I am at work, however I am also home almost every night to care for her as well. She has an automatic wet and dry feeder as well as a continuous water fountain. She gets her litter box scooped 2x sometimes 3x a day. She is very friendly and is very affectionate. She has tons of toys, but her favorites are the spiral springs we get her off Amazon.

I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!

Jennifer is an exceptional and highly professional pet sitter. she handled an unexpected accident with my anxious dachshund calmly and compassionately, reassuring both me and my dog without any frustration or judgment. she came prepared with her own supplies, provided thoughtful updates throughout my 12‑hour shift, and clearly prioritized my dog’s comfort and safety. I would strongly recommend her to anyone, especially those with sensitive or anxious dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Romulus on Rover is $16.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,607 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Romulus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Romulus stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 Romulus 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 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 Romulus 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 Romulus. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
