“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!”
“Katie is so wonderful! Never had someone come into my home before, and believe me, I was nervous. Within five minutes, during the meet and greet, I was at ease. Katie is absolutely wonderful, and her love for dogs is so evident. She took so many photos, brought Levi a treat, and went above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough!”
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.
“We just moved to MI and we found Ashley on Rover. She has had four visits with Max so far and he loves her. Max is 17 years old - blind and deaf - so we are very particular about who takes care of him. Thank you Ashley.”
“Dawn is very accommodating, flexible and great at communicating. We would use her again for sure. Our cats did great with her and one of our cats is very hard to win over. Thank you Dawn for your great care of our pack.”
“Jillian consistently went above and beyond caring for my dog while I was out of town. She always left detailed reviews with so many pictures and even looked in on my cats that are pretty self sufficient, though it wasn’t in the original plan. Wish I could give her 10 stars 😁”
“Bridget is incredible!! She took excellent care of my two dogs and two cats while I was out of town for a week and a half. Bridget came by every day to feed everyone lunch, and cuddle and play with all four. She provided extra special care to my older lab/pit bull, who needs a lot of help getting into and out of the house. I highly recommend Bridget and look forward to working with her again.”
“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 💯”
“Mikayla took very good care of our Charlie girl cat. We're super pleased with the many photos she sent. Also we arranged through a phone call that Charlie could hear my voice and nuzzled her phone.”
“Mary provides Gus and Gino with the best care. I love all the picture and notes she sends - she is very responsive and we know that the boys are in great hands with Mary.”
About: Certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and training, I bring 6 years of experience working with diverse dog breeds, ages, and temperaments, ranging from shy to reactive/aggressive. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I excel in building bonds and fostering confidence. I also have some experience in cat sitting. I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own. For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Clair Shores
Lucie was amazing and helped me out massively when I got stuck out of town last minute due to an unexpected family emergency. She stepped right in and took phenomenal care of my girl. She communicated seamlessly and provided amazing updates and photos that ensured I knew Rue was in the best possible hands. Every photo and update was prompt and detailed which completely eased my stress about leaving my pup for so long and showed how happy and comfortable Rue was with Lucie. I’m so incredibly grateful for Lucie and highly recommend hiring her to care for your pup! With Lucie, you can rest assured she will take the absolute best care of your pets!
So thankful to have found Ashley on Rover! We will continue using her to watch our sphynx kitties when out town. She went above and beyond and was so sweet to my kitties and made me comfortable to leave them in her care. Always on time, did exactly as asked and sent the cutest updates and photos. I had no complaints and would recommend her to anyone!
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!
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 !!!

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.

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.
