“Audrey took great care of our 3 cats and our home while we were out of town! She provided daily updates with lots of photos that we looked forward to getting every day! She is very responsible and followed all our instructions. Don't hesitate to book with Audrey, we have already booked with her again!”
“Ashley aka Red is the best in the area. She loves our pets as if they were her own and we cannot thank her enough for helping us when we have to go out of town. She is always on time, kind and courteous and I know our furry friends love her too. Thanks Red for all that you do for us and the community.”
“She was excellent for a drop in with my dogs. My German shepherd was very accepting of her. She took photos and gave my dogs pets and played fetch. So happy to have someone like her to check in on my dogs-when my family and I are out. I have already booked again with her ?”
“Mary took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, keeping them happy with plenty of playtime and attention. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands!”
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!
“Thank you so much for always taking the best care of our girl! We appreciate it so much knowing she will always be in good hands when we’re away and love the pictures! <3”
“Hannah took great care of our kitties and bearded dragon! She was on time, and made sure she laid eyes on everyone. She sent pics and was very good at communicating with me from first contact. Highly recommend and will certainly re-book. Thanks for the peace of mind while we were gone, Hannah!”
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.
“Nicole loved Zeke and Dottie! She was super helpful and patient with Zeke when he was being a bit picky about his food. She was willing to spend a bit of extra time if my two fur babies were a bit slow at taking their potty breaks. Lastly, she did great at getting Zeke to take his daily medication. Definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a pet sitter that they can trust.”
“Emily is the BEST! So sweet with my pups, they absolutely love her. You can tell she has a soft spot in her heart for animals. Excellent communication and very reliable. Will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Emily!!!”
“Martina did an amazing job with Freya! She was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with trusting her to care for Freya since this was my first time using rover. Thank you Martina!”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
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.

Pet 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!
Mary took fantastic care of our cats. She’s so patient with our shy Gus, who has finally decided that Mary is a-ok. Gino, of course, is her biggest fan. We have zero concerns leaving them both in Mary’s care - she provides great updates and pictures and both boys are well loved while we are gone. We can’t ask for more! Mary also went above and beyond taking in very large packages that came while we were away - it is much appreciated. We already have Mary booked for our next trip!
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.
