“Jaicyn was a lifesaver! Partner and I were out of town and couldn’t check in on our Zenon during extensive power outages and Jaicyn swooped in on *no notice* to make sure Z was doing okay and getting enough food, pets, and attention—on the *same night* we put in the request. HIGHLY recommend Jaicyn’s expertise to anyone.”
“Molly was absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend. She took such good care of our older Alaskan Malamute, Luna. She went above and beyond to make sure Luna was exceptionally cared for. We received detailed daily reports and pics and that was so appreciated. I could tell by Molly's comments that she was really in tune with Luna's personality and needs. She was very responsive and really easy to communicate with. We are already looking to book with her again in October. Thank you Molly!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Jennifer as a cat sitter. She is trustworthy and very caring. She checked in with us after each visit and sent us pictures and notes. She followed all our instructions. We will definitely use Jennifer in the future for when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“I had an excellent experience with my cat-sitter Lauren. She was always on time for every visit and spent lots of quality time playing with Nimbus, which I really appreciated. She consistently sent pictures and messages to keep me updated, and it was clear from every update that Nimbus was happy and comfortable. She followed all of my instructions correctly and was incredibly kind and gentle with Nimbus throughout her stay. I will definitely ask Lauren to cat-sit Nimbus again whenever I need to. I highly recommend her — she provided outstanding care and great peace of mind while I was away.”
“My experience with Jessi was perfect! My shy cats actually came out from under the bed for her. She left super informative feedback and accommodated all my requests! She was super sweet and kind. I will definitely rebook with her soon!”
“Corriane took such great care of my cats! She’s wonderful! The updates were great and let me know they were well cared for. She also managed to get my more timid cat to come out for attention.”
“Elise was great with my pups giving them lots of love and play time while I was away. She was able to accommodate our last minute plans and gave our dogs the quality time they needed.”
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life — from puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and a slow walk. That range of experience means I'm comfortable handling whatever your dog needs, whether that's patient potty training, managing high energy, giving meds on a schedule, or just knowing when an older pup needs extra rest and gentle care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time we're together. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority — I treat every pup like my own. I'd love to meet your dog and give them the same love and attention I've given dogs my entire life! I am currently working from home and get to make my own schedule, so I can tailor it to your pet sitting needs! If you need a specific time a few days a week I am happy to accommodate! Drop-In Visits: When I come for a drop-in visit, I stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. That means feeding on schedule, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime or cuddles depending on what your pet enjoys. I always do a walkthrough to make sure everything's secure before I leave, and I'm happy to send photo or text updates so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. Dog Walking: For walks, I focus on making sure your dog gets safe, enjoyable exercise at a pace that suits them. I pay close attention to leash manners, weather conditions, and any specific instructions you give me (routes to avoid, reactivity to other dogs, etc.). I always bring water and waste bags, and I make sure your dog is safely back inside with fresh water before I head out. In both cases, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own — respecting your space, following your instructions closely, and prioritizing your pet's comfort and safety above all else.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs and cats of a variety of breeds my whole life. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and a variety of sizes. I currently have a large breed, American Akita, and a small breed, Pomsky, and a tuxedo cat. I’m experienced with dogs who have special needs and require medication. I work full time, but have plenty of availability to take care of your pup. I’m available on weekends and week day evenings after 4:15 pm. Ask me about overnight stays. I will provide what your pet needs based on your environment. If you have a fenced in yard we will play there. If not we will go on walks and play.
“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”
“Nicole was so nice and friendly when we met, and my pup immediately loved her! She even took notes to make sure she had everything. I was nervous leaving my pup alone for the first time with someone I didn’t know, but she sent me a lot of pictures, videos and detailed updates that put me at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”
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.
“Jean is great. She has been making drop-in visits for our lab puppy for a few weeks now. Her son and our puppy have become best buds. She always provides us pics and updates of what Moose did during the visit. She has asked what commands he knows and is working on the ensure she is on the same page with what we are teaching him as he grows. Questions like that have shown us that she really cares about Moose and his development. Thanks Jean!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Romulus on Rover is $15.54 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,748 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
