“Katie was so great! This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our doggo for a weekend trip. We chose the drop in option and everything about it worked out great! Katie was incredible with our Rosie and very attentive to things around the house as well- even noticed it was garbage day and brought our cans down without asking and watered my flowers & veggie garden. She made us feel at ease throughout the whole trip with regular drop-in visit updates and lots of photos, which we loved! Highly recommend! :)”
“Ashley was so amazing during my whole trip! She was super flexible and very detailed in her updates plus tons of photos. Definitely will be booking with her again next time I need to go on a trip 💖”
“Bridget is very kind and so sweet to my babies. I trusted that my cats would be in excellent care while I was out of the country and I couldn’t have been more right. Bridget was so lovely and took great care of them.”
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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years, I’m a part time dog sitter for my families 2 dogs and i have 3 cats of my own. I’m a hair stylist with very flexible hours, making it easy for me to accommodate your furry friends and being able to make multiple visits a day! I will follow your animals daily routine, while giving them plenty of love and attention and making them feel safe and comfortable in there environment!
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I’ve owned five dogs, ranging from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have also had three kitties as well! My experience with different life stages of both cats and dogs means I understand their unique needs and how to provide the love and care they deserve. I have also worked in a doggie daycare/boarding facility in the past that cared for dogs, cats, and exotics! This means I have even more confidence and experience with all animals! Despite my busy schedule with work and school, pet care remains a priority. While my parents handle most of the care for our dogs, I step in to watch them when they’re away, ensuring their safety by closing off areas of the house if I need to leave. I also manage feeding and letting them outside when everyone else is at work. Additionally, I own three crested geckos, to which I am dedicated, feeding them and misting their tanks with water twice a day. I also own two cats and clean their litter boxes and feed them once a day. This routine fits well with my other responsibilities, allowing me to provide consistent care for all our pets. I am committed to following the specific instructions provided by dog owners for their pets' care. Whether it involves feeding schedules, or any special needs, I will adhere to these guidelines to ensure their comfort and well-being. If crating is required for their safety or comfort, I will implement it as directed, ensuring a secure and positive environment for the dog while following the owner's preferences.
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician and have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. I've done pet sitting for my grandma's cat and dog in the past. I'll do free meet and greets with owners and their pets no problem. I'm willing to give baths and clean litter boxes as well. I currently work full time. I have a predictable schedule of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of 9-5. I have a one hour lunch break between 11:30 and 12:40 where I can do drop in visits to feed, spend time with and give your pets bathroom breaks. I can walk dogs before and after work as well as drop in visits. I am willing to do house sitting with coming home during lunch to give bathroom breaks and feeding. I have three cats named Winston, Luna and Loki who each get canned cat food in the morning before work and they free feed dry food throughout the day. I have a 10 year old shih tzu named Harry who also gets wet food mixed with dry food for breakfast as well as dinner in the late afternoon. He gets let out every couple of hours to go to the bathroom and loves going walks, but I can only take him for short walks due to one of his knees having arthritis. I'm willing to clean client's cat's litter boxes as well as bath dogs as well as take out the trash and do laundry.
About: I've taken care of my personal pets for 50 years or more, a rabbit, a turtle a guinea pig and lots of dogs and cats. I just recently lost my little Toby due to congestive heart failure in March so I have decided to love and adore other people's fur babies. I'm currently retired and have lots of time on hand to devote to new animals. I live in a safe and friendly environment which allows animals to feel safe and secure. I have a fenced in backyard for them to roam and play freely or a home that's pet friendly. I have time to devote to all pets needs.
About: I have been around pets for as long as I can remember! I can guarantee nothing but love while your fur baby is in my care and can assure they will be treated like family. I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I have one mini golden doodle who is full of energy and loves a playmate! I am a stay at home mom so I am home & available to play with your pet and keep them company! I provide daily walks and lots of opportunities for exercise! I have a very open schedule and my errands are under 2 hours so your pup will rarely be left without interaction. While at my home, I have a fully fenced in backyard for your dog to run and play. Never left alone, I love to hangout and play with the animals! I also love taking the dogs on walks around our neighborhood.
“Tami was awesome! I've never left my dogs with anyone before so I didn't know how they would be. I felt super comfortable leaving them in Tami's care. She's friendly and Sweet. Both nights the dogs curled up with her to sleep with no problem. She made going away less stressful. I will definitely have her over to stay with my dogs again. I also appreciated that she texted us right back when we texted her. Thanks Tami!”
About: I have owned cats all my life and currently own one cat and one dog, both of whom are rescues. My dog did not have the best start to life and as a result continues to require consistent training and guidance to live a stress-reduced life. As I have helped my reactive dog get adjusted to life in a loving home, I've learned that I have a passion for interacting with dogs, or any animal, of all shapes, sizes, and breeds without discrimination. I value creating a trusting bond each animal I interact with and each pet owner that I meet. I recognize that each animal I meet may require specific considerations while providing services and am comfortable with most temperaments that I come across (like I said, having a reactive dog myself has taught me lots of valuable lessons). I have provided drop in care for several family members' animals including both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have volunteered with animal shelters by taking dogs for walks and providing play time. Unfortunately, my neighborhood has several dogs who have gotten out of their yards, however on multiple occasions I have safely leashed the animals and worked with various vet offices to get them returned to their owners. I value direct communication and constructive feedback from pet owners in order to help me provide the type of care that your animal deserves. Whether you need help while you're at work or need someone to walk the dog while you take care of things at home, my schedule can be flexible. I currently work from home, so please message me the times you require services to ensure availability. I care for pets in my own home with love first and foremost but also with clear expectations of what behavior is acceptable. I regularly provide playtime for both of my animals and do obedience training with my dog daily (I am not a certified dog trainer, however have picked up lots of knowledge and skills working with the reputable trainers in my area for my dog).
About: I have owed my own pets,Dogs,Cats,turtle I have also attended to my friends and family's pets when they go out of town. I love animals. I am available mostly after 3 and evening to go let your pet out for a little while. Throw a ball with the ones that like it. Keep them happy I will stay the night if needed I have my own two dogs. So I would not want to bring your pet to my home. I believe most want to be at their home instead of a strange atmosphere
“We’ve solely utilized Megan for the past four years and we couldn’t be more grateful! As always, we appreciate her taking care of our dog while we take care of ourselves outside of our home. Thank you!”
About: I know how hard it is to leave your pup behind when you head to work or run errands. That’s why I’m here to make sure your dog stays happy, hydrated, and tuckered out by the time you get home. Whether your dog is a "sniff-every-blade-of-grass" explorer or a "sprint-until-I-flop" athlete, I tailor every visit to their specific personality and energy level. The Gold Standard "Pupdate": You’ll always get a detailed summary of our visit, including potty updates and photos of your pup in action. Your schedule is my priority. I show up on time, rain or shine. I am hyper-vigilant about leash safety, sidewalk temperatures, and keeping a respectful distance from other dogs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I’m happy to administer oral medications or follow specific feeding routines if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Clair Shores
We booked Bridget for a couple drop in visits for my two German Shepherds, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. She was great to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible when I needed to reschedule my dates/times. For both visits, she sent lots of photos and it was clear that both of my dogs love her.
Danielle was a godsend to us. This was first experience having in home dog care for our boys while out of the country. She was very kind and communicated well daily with notes and pictures showing us the boys daily. Our boys Mick and Max loved her and made my heart happy knowing they were taken care of so well. Can’t thank her enough, we will book with her again when needed
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Clair Shores is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.

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.

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.
