“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!”
“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.”
“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 taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, focusing on rescues and special needs animals. I love spoiling our furry friends! I’ve raised two puppies from 8 weeks and am patient and loving towards all pets. I am patient and understand different temperaments and energy levels. I’m friendly and adaptable and can follow any specific instructions. Your pet will be well cared for with me! I work from home full time so I have a lot of flexible free time to care for your pet! I can do drops ins any time of day and love spoiling your pets. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, and I’m extremely careful to always ensure pets are secured and safe!
“Both the danes were taken care of while I was gone for the day, really appreciate Skye being so attentive, communicative, and patient with the dogs. Will definitely be having her over again!”
“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
“Ashley is kind, patient, and communicates frequently. I loved receiving the photos. Thank you for making Ramen feel comfortable - he warmed up to you without me being around for this first drop-in day. Ramen can’t wait to hang out with you again :).”
“Izzywas great with Alina! I could tell that she cared and that Alina loved hanging out with her. Would definitely recommend her to take care of anyone's fur babies.”
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.
“Lacy is so friendly and very responsive! She reached out when there were questions too. My cats were happy and fed while we were away for a trip. We even got lots of photos during the visits! Would definitely have her watch my pets again.”
“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!”
“Greyson already knew my one cat Ozzy and he was automatically comfortable knowing they were back. My other cat Sweetie hadn't met them before so Greyson was kind enough to come over for a meet and greet before the stay. She mostly hid, only coming out for one far away glance. Despite Sweeties initial trepidation it was so sweet to watch the progress through Greysons notes and pictures of Sweetie getting comfortable with them to the point of being willing to bug them for breakfast.”
“Bri was great with my two cats! ? She made time for a meet & greet beforehand and was so easy to work with. I will definitely be booking with her to look after my boys when I am gone on a few trips this summer!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was born and have experience with all kinds of breeds, from small lap dogs to large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for both. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is, and I’ll always communicate with you to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Truly love animals. I can provide excellent references that will confirm that your will be loved and your home will be safe while ai am there. I I will walk your dogs in my care and play with them outside. Animals sleep with me unless the owner would rather they were caged. If medicine is required I would be diligent to administer to your pet. During the day animals sit in my lap or lay on the couch beside me. Your pet will be very loved from the beginning! I'm retired and home the majority of the time. For trips to the bank or drive thru, dogs go with me and ride shotgun safely. We will follow your dogs daily routine and adhere to any rules and regulations about your pet and your home. Some dogs would rather not go on walks and I'm good with that.
“Peace of mind is what Jenna provided us! We are first time Rover users. Jenna was all business with a huge side of kindness!! She fought the awful elements here in Michigan...we were gone during the extreme cold so we are extra appreciative! She even washed out the food containers I had prepared our dog's food in, as well as the fun lick pad we use for our cat! I honestly didn't expect that because I am lazy and leaving them soaking for a week! Hahaha Also, being that we were gone for 7 days (they are used to me being home everyday) I appreciated the pictures of Piper and Archer cuddling with Jenna! Tells me all I need to know! Jenna will be our future extended fam!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Romulus is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $17 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,632 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Romulus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Romulus. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
