“Katie was a delight to work with. She was attentive and loving with Ella, my dog. She also provided great communications about Ella's status, as well as Michael the cat, even though he hid from her until the day I returned. It gave me great peace of mind to let my pets remain in their home where they are most comfortable. It was great to know I could rely on Katie to insure they were safe and well cared for. I will definitely be calling on her again in the future.”
“Jillian did a great job of providing pictures and updates of my cats. The cats were happy, and their litter area was kept clean! I've already booked her again.”
“Nicole is wonderful with our dogs! She takes excellent care of both our puppy and senior pup. It gives us so much peace of mind while we're at work knowing that they have such a kind and compassionate caregiver stopping by. She is flexible and accommodating when our schedules change. I highly reccomend her services!”
“Bridget did a wonderful job caring for my elderly dog. It was such a comfort knowing I had trusted, loving, care from Bridget while I was away. I 100% would recommended her and will be using her services again in the future. All the updates and photos were so cute she sent me each time she came over! Thank you, Emily”
About: Hi! My name is Hope and I am a wife and mother to four children. We are huge animal lovers here! We have both cats and dogs. We live in a clean and nice sized home with lots of love and attention to give to your fur babies. I am home full time and will be available for day care or over night care. I would love to love on your babies while you’re away. We have had to use pet services when we traveled for work so I know how stressful it can be to find someone you trust. Just know your babies will be in good loving hands here. I would love the opportunity to speak with you further. Feel free to message me with questions or set up a home visit. Due to becoming extremely busy it is best to book as far ahead of time as possible so I am able to accommodate your booking. I’m booked up to a month in advance at this point. A night boarding request is good for a 24 hour period. If the pick up time is going to be extended beyond 24 hours from the start time I will add a day care charge to the end of your booking. Hours of operation for drop offs are no earlier than 7am and pick ups no later than 8pm. If you need outside of those hours I’m happy to take your pet a night early or extend the booking for another night.
“I felt completely confident with knowing that my two cats were in caring, responsible, and attentive hands with Audrey! She has a spirit of humility and service. My cat’s new, best friend! Thank you, Audrey!!”
About: I have over 45 years experience taking care of cats and dogs and also have volunteered for several years in dog shelters when I am on vacation. I am now retired and after losing my dog of over 16 years I want to open my home to dogs needing care. I am retired so I have sufficient time to care for your pet and take them for walks since I do not have to leave for work. I strive to give you the best value in care. I love to walk so I make sure your pet gets plenty of outside time amd walks if they like to walk. Pets have free roam in my house and are allowed on the furniture , bed etc. I live in a quiet area close to parks and they will get walks in and plenty of outside time. I have a fenced yard also.
“Mary took great care of Gino and Gus - I loved the little updates and it’s obvious that Gino has a new girlfriend. I never once worried about either of our cats - Gus is very shy about new people and while he didn’t make an appearance, it was never concerning given how happy Gino looked. Thank you so much, Mary!”
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.
“Hannah was absolutely amazing!! She came for us last minute and will now be out to go for pet care!! She gave wonderful updates and loved and cared for our animals so thoroughly!! She really is incredible and I recommend her 💯”
About: I’ve been watching my friends and family dogs for 10+ years. I’ve grew up with multiple dogs at my house since I was little. I’ve always loved dogs and currently have a rescued Mini schnauzer. I’m new to the St. Clair Shores area. I’ve accepted a role that doesn’t start until August, so I have open availability to take care of your fur babies. The safety, well-being, and comfort of every pet in my care are my highest priorities. I am committed to providing a secure, supervised, and positive environment while following each pet’s individual care instructions. My goal is to ensure both pets and their owners feel confident, informed, and supported throughout every booking.
About: I’ve worked and volunteered in animal shelters walking dogs and socializing both dogs and cats! I know dog and cat behavior like the back of my hand! I worked with Chicago Pet Club walking dogs previously. This is what I love doing! My priority is your beloved furry friends! I am very flexible in availability, if you need me, I’ll be there! My cat zoey is the queen and my world! I treat every animal with the utmost respect and patience. Anticipating their needs and adapting to whatever is thrown at me!
“Paris is wonderful with our girls. They really interact with her, which is not something they usually do with people that they don't know well. She puts my mind at ease when I am away from my baby girls! This is our second time using her, and we will again!”
“Danielle is great! We have used her three years in a row when we go out of town around the 4th of July. My cat does not really like her - or any strangers - but Danielle does a good job of taking care of her and making sure she’s OK.”
“Emily is great! She always ensures my sweet puppy is taken care of. I never have to worry when he is with her. I'm thankful we found someone so kind to take care of our puppy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your dog!”
About: Hello! My name is Lucie and I absolutely love pups of all shapes and sizes. From a child, I’ve always had a dog that I’ve cared for of different breeds from Beagle to Elkhound and now a Shepherd/Golden mix. I frequently dog sit for my brother who has an Aussie/Bernie mix. My dog recently suffered a TPLO tear and we’ve had to make significant adjustments due to complications that happened. I learned to help support his 115 pound frame for potty breaks, give shots, and give medications. His surgical team has even joked that I could get a job there once he’s healed up from all that I’ve learned. I work fully remote unless traveling (for which my schedule is blocked). My days are somewhat flexible to meet your families needs. Weekends are also very flexible. If you book with me, I will communicate what times I’m available and can send you photos of your babies. I will take care of your 4 legged friend just like they are my own. Having a very smart and large shepherd myself I’m always on the lookout for things he can get into and make sure everything is picked up so he can’t get hurt or in trouble. Our vet office has consistently told me that I’m one of their most diligent pet parents. Your pets safety and your privacy is always my goal.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Saint Clair Shores is $20

Audrey was very sweet, communicative, and managed to befriend our two scaredy cats! I was surprised at how they were out with her from day one. I felt totally at peace knowing they were in Audrey’s care while I was out of town, and really appreciated that Audrey also stayed on top of litter & garbage so we don’t come home to a stinky house. I will absolutely book with her again.
So happy Jillian was available to do stop ins for our 3 cats. She showed them so much love and care, took care of everything we asked and made sure to send us daily notes and photos. Really appreciate the care which went above and beyond and will absolutely book again down the road.
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!
Danielle is the best ever! My shy and “picky eater” senior cat absolutely loved Danielle at the 1st visit. She is truly the “animal whisperer.” I was able to vacation stress free knowing my fur baby was being loved and cared for. I will surely have Danielle again to look after my senior baby again. She was quick to respond to any and all of my concerns. Thank you Danielle. You’re the best !!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Clair Shores on Rover is $21.09 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 3,265 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Clair Shores. 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 Saint Clair Shores 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Clair Shores. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
