About: I've owned and loved three Cocker Spaniel dogs through out my twenty years of my life . I find being with dogs comforting, fun, and enjoyable. I've been told in my jobs that I am reliable, caring,and a hard working, individual. My pet experiences have ranged from caring daily for a puppies, daily dog walking, and staying at a variety of houses to dog sit for extended periods of time. In these experiences I have watched toy sized dogs up through large sized breeds, and I have had many repeated customers. Currently I am available and flexible to work around you and your dog(s) needs. I believe spending time with your dog(s) would be enjoyable for both of us, and we would have a blast together.

Amy is such a gem. She was our go-to for one dog, and has now been so helpful with another one we took in. He’s got puppy energy and can be a handful, and she handles him so well. We’d be lost without her!

About: Hi there! My name is Ruby, and I was born and raised in Clinton County, MI. Growing up, my family had a variety of pets, including an Old English Bulldog and German Shepherds, which helped shape my love for dogs from an early age. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we’re renting, I’m looking to take on opportunities like this to earn some extra income during my final summer before graduating. I absolutely love dogs, have experience pet sitting and staying overnight with pets on multiple occasions, and some of my favorite breeds are Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. My schedule varies, so I’m using this as an opportunity to help fill in the gaps on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, I’m hoping to build consistent work so I can establish reliable income while also getting to know and build relationships with specific pups over time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep in mind that I’m stepping into their space and routine, and that their pet may not know me yet. I make it a priority to take the time to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by moving at their pace, respecting their routines, and building trust. Whether that means going for walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I aim to create a calm and positive experience while making sure your pet feels cared for in a familiar environment.

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.

Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid. We currently have 2 dogs and 2 bunnies. My daughter has been around animals since she was a baby. She loves all animals and many refer to her as the dog whisperer. I have trained all my dogs as puppies and been with them until they pass. I have a flexible job and have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to play with your animals and give them plenty of exercise. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have an acre to play leashed or unleashed in and a neighborhood to walk them in. My daughter is great with animals, and very gentle and will not be left alone with any animals. I have a crate for your dog if needed as well for when I am not home.

I can adjust my schedule as needed to be available! Early morning walks, mid day drop in and evening outings are all possible ways to care for your pets.

About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.

About: I’ve never met an animal I don’t like or doesn’t like me. I’m very particular myself about who I let watch my babies so I’ll do the same for you. Not available during the week but am available most weekends (and Friday nights) to come by and check on your babies! I’ll send a bunch of photos. I have a 5 year old black lab and a 15 week old golden retriever puppy. Both of which I love and have tried to train (they’re working on it!) and also have two male cats that were litter mates. I just treat all animals like I would my own.

About: When petsitting, I go beyond basic pet sitting by tailoring care to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, a good communicator, and can keep you updated via pictures! I also have experience administering medications and handling anxious pets as I have one of my own. My goal is to prioritize your pets safety, and keep them happy and comfortable. I am on the MSU women’s rowing team, and only have practices 6:30-9:30am daily. Aside from that, I have a part-time job with a very free schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment whether pets are in my own home or yours. I don’t like to get them off routine as I know that can be a bit overwhelming for some animals, and love to give lots of attention! I’ll also be attentive to any needs of the pet, and keep you updated with photos/texts so you know your pet is in good hands!

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 10 years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. From energetic puppies to independent cats, I take time to learn each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and cuddles they deserve. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, because they deserve nothing less. Pet care fits naturally into my week because I treat it like a true commitment. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets focused, reliable attention at the times they need it most. Communication and consistency are always part of my routine. When I’m in a client’s home, I provide structured, dependable care. I follow your pet’s schedule exactly, mealtimes, walks, medications, and play, and make sure they’re relaxed and content. I’m attentive to detail, respectful of your space, and committed to open communication so you always know your pet is in good hands. When it comes to house sitting, I prefer not to stay over nights. I can do several drop ins through out the day. Depending on the need.

About: Part-time working mother of two looking to help my community care for their pet family members. I have always had a love for animals and had pets my whole life until a few years ago. Our beloved chocolate lab passed away and we have decided to wait until our children are older before we welcome another fur child. I understand the importance of respecting others homes and treating your pet as one of my “children”. I am responsible, punctual and looking forward to getting to know your pet! I am currently working from home three days a week which allows me to be available most days, nights, or weekends for drop ins, house sitting and walks. I enjoy going on runs and walks both in the country and around town. I live near a county park that allows dogs to swim and run around.

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved all kinds of animals and hope to one day have a career working with them. I have been helping care for my own dogs since I was around six years old and have experience with both large breeds, like Labrador Retrievers, and small breeds, like Chihuahuas. I have also cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family while they were away. In addition to dogs and cats, I have owned and cared for two hamsters, a Canadian goose, three ducks, and have experience helping care for horses. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. Currently, I have two Labrador Retrievers named Annie and Delta, and I love spending time caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications, as one of my dogs requires seizure medication three times a day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every animal I look after. I am a junior at Hope College home for the summer so my schedule is fairly open and I am very flexible. I am usually busy weekends and Tuesday and Thursday nights when I am coaching lacrosse. I can care for your dog in your home just as you would care for your dog if you were home. I could easily crate your dog if needed, take them for walks, feed them, and take them out to use the bathroom.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saint Johns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Johns on Rover is $16.05 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 769 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Johns. 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 Johns 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 Johns. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
