“Carissa dropped in on my two cats twice a day when I was out of town for a week. She followed all written instructions and wrote professional descriptions of their daily activities within each Rover Card. Both cats really appreciated all the playtime and brushes! We look forward to having her back again (yes even Violet).”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. I currently don’t have any pets right now because I have 2 little ones at home. I’d love to spend my extra time with furry friends! I currently am home full time with my two little ones. We don’t have any pets right now but would love to spend the extra time we have with some furry friends! I usually wake up around 6:30-7:00am to start my day and head to bed around 9:00pm. I do have a 2 year old and a 2 month old in the home. Pets can easily be separated if needed, we have lots of space. I also have plenty of room for an extra crate and have one available if needed. I live in a very large neighborhood that’s easy to walk and also have trails and parks nearby! I’m already out walking with my littles so why not add a furry friend!
About: As a 31 year old who's owned dogs his entire life, I've learned dog behaviour in and out, while I don't consider myself a trainer, the breeds I've owned and work with include hounds, German Shepard/Mixes, Pitbulls, Huskies, etc, I provide a speciality trail hiking experience with your pup! They will be cleaned and checked for fleas and ticks every time, and healthy exhaustion is guaranteed! My entire life I have owned high energy dogs, as a lover of nature I always learned towards dogs that could hike with me through the woods in Rain, Snow or sunshine, after doing it for years for my pups, I want to give other puppies and even senior dogs that feeling of freedom in nature! If your dog needs a companion, my German Shepard Rita can join! If your dog prefers solo hikes or hikes with their siblings that is okay as well! I treat all pets like my own children, same as yours!
“Christine and her husband are amazing. We have a very anxious dog that does not do well with new people. They are both so kind and patient with our Enzo. They kept me updated and gave me helpful information. I would recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.
“Isabelle has filled in annually when our regular dog walker goes south for the winter, and she is excellent! Communicative, punctual and our pup loves her. She is very sweet with him and leaves us great reviews at the end of her visits. We always have peace of mind when Isabelle watches Norman!”
About: My family has always been a "dog" family. I've taken responsibility to take care of all our family dogs and i've grown to love animals ever since then:) I am currently a student at Michigan State University and am available throughout the summer, during school breaks, and on most weekends. During the school year, my availability may vary, but please feel free to message me to check if I'm available:) I read care instructions very carefully and follow all precautions. I am also stronger and can keep them near or control them easier. I love to provide them with love and comfort or any fun play time.
“Silvia was wonderful and provided great care for my pets, including medication for my one cat. She was very communicative and responsive and made me feel confident that they were cared for well we were away.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from Great Danes to Mice! Family and friends have asked me to care for their pets and homes while out of town or on vacation. I also worked for a pet store for five years and have tons of experience with pets of every kind! I currently have no fur babies of my own, so I live vicariously through friends and neighbors. I'm always happy to help them with anything they might need for their pets. At my own home, when I had pets, we have a fenced yard and both crated and uncrated dogs, so I am comfortable with a variety of setups. I also spent many years caring for my own pets at an apartment so I am more than willing to take pets out on potty breaks on leash if needed. I also try to play with my critters to help them get energy out and I would be happy to do the same for yours!
“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!”
About: My name is Shannon and I am currently a teacher that has summers off and I love spending time with my one year old golden retriever and cat. I’ve had 3 big dogs and am able to handle them on walks and help reinforce commands from owners. I am a teacher and am off for the summer so my day is pretty flexible. I have a one year old golden retriever so I walk him 2x a day but am available throughout the week. I care for my animals by offering them pets, cuddles, make sure they have clean water and food and time to play and nap.i also walk my dog twice a day and have walked and watched other larger dogs. I know cats can by shy with new people and I realize I will need to be patient your cat trusts me.
About: I have a Master’s degree in Biology and currently work in a management role, bringing reliability, organization, and strong communication skills to everything I do—including pet care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals throughout college and beyond. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered my time walking dogs at a local animal shelter and have supported animal welfare through holiday donation drives. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I genuinely value. I’m also an active runner currently training for a half marathon, so I’d be more than happy to take high-energy dogs out for runs or extra-long walks to help them burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. I’m using Rover as a way to give back while doing something I love. I’m fundraising for two meaningful causes as part of my upcoming runDisney half marathon at Disney World: Hope Story, which supports individuals with Down syndrome, and Experience Camps, which provides free camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling. I’m just $1195 away from my goal, and every booking helps me get closer while continuing to provide loving, dependable care for pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My son will be attending school this summer and I’m looking for additional ways to earn some extra money. I have a rescue pit-mix named Jetta who enjoys our acre and a half backyard. I am reliable and will show respect in client homes, if drop in visits are preferred.
“Samantha is terrific and we are very happy with how she took care of our cat Sarah. Samantha sent photos every day and let us know how Sarah was doing and she watered our plants and unboxed and watered the new arrivals as well. She was very responsive as well as respectful of our home and we definitely will have her take care of Sarah again. Thanks a million.”
About: I have been a long term volunteer at multiple shelters. I am also a foster dog mom, every dog is treated as if they are my own. I work from home a few days a week, so I will be near by and ready to play with your pups. I am also free on weekends and nights for any of their needs. I am a patient walker and strong believer in sniff walks, letting the dog take its time soaking up all the good smells while getting necessary exercise.
About: I have 13 years of caring for animals personally 🥰 I am currently a dog & cat mom and a first-time mom to a baby girl. Over the years not only have I cared for my own pets but I have house sat for friends and family members. Additionally I have 3 years of dog grooming experience! One of my favorite jobs yet! Please keep in mind booking that I work from 8am-4:30pm. I look forward to discussing the possibility of caring for your fur babies. Please note I require a meet and greet before booking and a video call for last minute bookings I will give constant updates on your fur babies and keep them on whatever schedule you have setup for them. They will get lots of cuddles love.
About: I trained my dog starting from when she was 8 weeks old to be potty trained and how to do several tricks, in less than 6 months. I'm a new college graduate with a flexible schedule, leaving plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available at all times during the day. I am very observant when it comes to pets. My dog has been an escape artist and liked to try and eat everything in sight, so I've always kept good attention to pets.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was somewhat skeptical but after meeting Kodi, I knew she was perfect for what I needed. She exudes great energy and is a natural with pets. She took amazing care of my baby girl and I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away with family. I highly recommended Kodi for your pet services.”

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.

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.

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.
