“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
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.
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.
“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!”
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”

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!
“Our flight was delayed and Silvia was able to step in and do an extra visit for us. It made such a big difference and took away additional stress during a tough situation! We will continue to rebook her!”
“Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.”

“Kennedy was fantastic! Very prompt in responding to set up the booking and followed directions perfectly. I have 2 very skittish cats who have never willingly let anyone but me touch or come near them-until Kennedy! I was blown away that my cat came out for her and let her pet her by only the second visit. She's definitely a cat whisperer!”
“Christine is an amazing person! She took care of our kittens and provided frequent detailed communication and summaries of her visits. She also went above and beyond and vacuumed the bedroom where our cats eat/use the litter and made sure to clean up after any of their messes. On top of that she made an extra visit as a courtesy. Overall, she and her husband gave our kittens much love and cuddles and made sure they were given care and attention.”

“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.”

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 .

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.

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.
