About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for, loving and training various dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My wife and I have 3 rescue dogs and 5 rescue cats, plus we regularly foster puppies and kittens. I know how important it is to ensure your babies are in good hands and safe while you’re away! I’ve worked with dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and temperaments over the years and have experience with potty, obedience and leash training, as well as caring for senior animals or administering medication etc. I love every pet as if they were my own!! I work fully remote so am entirely flexible throughout my day, including nights and weekends. I am able to accommodate the needs of the pet whether it involves a quick stop or an extended stay. I will always make sure your pet is secured in a fenced yard or on a leash. I don’t even like to leave pets unattended in the yard without keeping an eye on them. In the house it is important that boundaries are adhered to if there are certain areas off limits, and crate trained dogs are secured in their crate when left at home.
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat. I have always loved dogs and enjoy spending active, quality time outdoors with them. As a pet owner, I understand how important safety, trust, and clear communication are. I am punctual, very attentive to details, and will always follow your specific instructions for your dog's routine, hydration, and leash safety. I look forward to giving your pup a fun, safe, and happy walk, along with photo updates for your peace of mind! I have a flexible part-time schedule, which allows me to easily dedicate quality time to walking and caring for your pet. Walking outdoors is my favorite way to stay grounded, active, and present. Combining fresh air with caring for animals brings me genuine joy. I am especially available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pup's routine. As a professional with a background in psychology, I naturally value patience, safety, active listening, and calm energy when interacting with pets. I pay close attention to your dog's mood, body language, and individual needs. In your home, I treat your space and belongings with absolute respect and cleanliness. You can count on reliable updates, photos, and a safe, peaceful experience for your beloved pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around nine, helping with feed, bathing and taking puppies out. As well as giving the dogs their medicine and giving them more time with their training commands. Making sure they still follow those. Pet care fits into my daily routine, because I am currently looking for a job and love working with animals so this would be a nice side or main job Since we aren’t allowed to have pets in our home, I am respectful of other others and their suggestions or rules /boundaries of their routines and homes
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.
About: I have fenced in backyard with room to run around. I'm a very loving person towards animals, they have a certain way of always making you feel special. I grew up with a golden retriever and she was the sweetest. I've had fish as well and care about them like I would a dog or cat. I now have my own puppers. She is a 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer who loves meeting new dogs! I have been dog sitting for many years for family and friends. I used to stay at the owner's houses but now since I have my own dog I ask that the dogs come to my house. I am home most of the day. I love playing outside, going for walks and cuddling up with the pups. I love to meet new dogs and love learning about their breed and their personalities, they're all so different! Leaving your pets with me will guarantee them a fun safe time! I currently work full-time at home so I'm able to be with the dogs if they come to my home. If dog walking is what you need, I have an hour long lunch each day and can come after 4pm as well. I have a large fenced-in yard and a young dog to keep your pup occupied. I have extra kennels at my house if needed, as well as a gate in my hallway if for any reason I would need it. I have many dog toys and treats to keep your dog happy as well. Daily walks are a must, weather permitted.
“This was our first time using Meagan for our 2 cats. She did a great job communicating with us and even with requests to help with packages/mail while we were away. She also was super awesome and took the cat trash out for us before we came home! We finally found someone in our area to help out when we are out of town! Thank you!”
“Chynna was great for my pups, cleaning up their surprise messes for me and all! Timely, communicative, and my dogs look like they gave good cuddles. Would love to have Chynna back!”
About: I have fostered dogs & have rescued dogs all my life. I have a soft spot for bully breeds & mutts but I adore every dog I meet & enjoy getting to learn their own personalities. I will always treat your fur baby like my own! I am a nurse so although my my schedule varies, I update it constantly. My hours are flexible & I am always sure to get my steps in, so why not make it more fun by adding a dog in my daily walking routine. For home care I have a fully fenced yard & 1 friendly & active dog. She enjoys playing, but is also content minding her own business. My home is just as much mine as it is my dog’s. When visiting yours & your dog’s home I’ll be respectful to your requests and follow which ever service is needed with love.
About: Dependable and very responsible. Mature, considerate and polite. I have a 20-year-old male cat that I rescued at 6 months old. I understand how important his health is and ensure that his needs are met on a daily basis. I have a pretty flexible schedule and available as well on weekends and holidays. I dog sit for two families, each own labs. I cat sit for my neighbors when they travel out of town for work and family events. I follow the owner's detailed instructions regarding feeding time, medications, etc. None of my dogs have had an accident in the house while the owner is away because I follow the owner's time schedule as if they were home.
About: My husband and I work as a team. He is known around the neighborhood for walking our dog, our neighbor's dog and our grandpuppies when they are over. Between the two of us, there is a human home 80 - 90 per cent of the time. Although we don't have children living with us, we have a 4 year old granddaughter, who loves to play with dogs, come over twice a week. Our house will never make the cover of "Good Housekeeping" but it is safe and "pet friendly." All of the dogs we have ever owned were rescue dogs, including our Boxer Popeye. We've both had dogs all of our lives. We'll treat your dog with all the love and care we give our own. Pet care IS our daily routine. We're both retired so someone is home with the pups almost every minute. Roger walks each pet daily as weather permits. We have a fenced yard and pups get to go out and come in as often as they like. They sleep indoors wherever they want. They are allowed on furniture and our bed.
“Julia was amazing dropping in on my sweet cat!! She constantly kept me updated with pictures and videos! She even brought him some treats and sang him happy birthday on his birthday!!! Definitely will book with her again next time I’m on vacation!”
About: Hi, I am Paige. I have been a Veterinary Technician for 6 years now. My goal all my life was to take care of animals. Animals bring so much joy into our daily lives and I want to make sure that when you are away your animal will still feel loved and never lonely. I am familiar with any type of medical problems your animal might have, so medicating is okay. I have four dogs, a bunny and a cat. There's never a dull moment in my house. I love going on walks with my animals and cuddling under the blankets watching Netflix! Im just one call/text away! Here's to hoping I make many new best friends <3 I can't wait to meet all of the snuggly faces out there!

I am very flexible with my schedule especially during the summer so feel free to reach out! I have experience in pet sitting for many years now depending on check ins, staying at the house, walks, etc. Whatever the animal may need we can discuss in detail what is needed!
About: I've taken care of pets all my life; from dogs, cats, birds, to exotics like sugar gliders and snakes. I've always enjoyed the different personalities of pets, and caring for them makes for a pawsitively happy day. I am currently a stay at home mother of four. Since they are getting older, I've flexibility in my schedule to share and care for pets. We believe in boundaries, rules and routines.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Clair Shores
Jillian does a great job watching our two boys, we can tell they’re happy and well taken care of by the pictures and updates she sends. She’s done drop in visits for us a couple of times and has been available for last minute visits, which is terrific. Solid sitter, we recommend using her and will continue to do so ourselves!
Audrey was an absolute god-send! I'm in the military and was looking for someone to drop in and check on my dogs while I was away. It was quite nerve wrecking as this was the first time in 5 years I couldn't find a friend or family member to take care of them. But, I remembered Rover was quite a trusty service from my own time as a dog sitter on the app and quickly ran to it. The dogs did phenomenal with her, she sent great daily updates, and the pictures she took of them helped me feel at ease while I was away. If she had any questions while I was away, she was sure to message me which was sincerely appreciated. Myself and the dogs liked her so much, I've already booked her for future dates! Top notch dog sitter I highly recommend!
Hannah does an awesome job visiting my high maintenance Doberman puppy. I always book last minute. She is very reliable, ethical, and has been a lifesaver for our family a number of times. I have full trust in her taking care of my dog and highly recommend her!
Erin was amazing with Otis - especially for our first time using a dog sitter while on vacation. She checked on him three times a day for five days, played fetch, refreshed his food and water and made sure he got his daily meds. Her comprehensive update on every visit - complete with photos - gave us total peace of mind, especially with the Arctic storm hitting Michigan while we were gone. Knowing he was safe, calm and well cared for made all the difference. She even offered to pick up extra visits if our flights were canceled. Thankfully we didn’t need it, but the gesture meant a lot. We’ll absolutely book Erin again. The comfort of knowing Otis was happy and anxiety free was worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Nicole has watched my little old, special needs dog in the past before he passed away and took such good care of him. She has now taken care of my new large dog and did amazing as well. Whether it is a small dog, a large dog, a dog with special needs - Nicole can handle any pet! It is clear she is compassionate about animals and the peace of mind I feel about leaving mine with her is priceless. What a blessing it is to be able to have someone so reliable and kind to leave my fur babies with when I am gone!

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 Saint Clair Shores 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.

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.

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.
