About: I have been with Rover for about three years now. I have a dog of my own, and when facing a situation where I needed care for her, it nearly broke my heart to stick her in a kennel. And honestly, it almost broke the bank! I find that this service I am offering helps you go on vacation without needing to stress and worry about your pets being in a cage 23 hours a day with minimal interaction and being stressed out by other stressed out barking dogs. I can guarantee you will enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is in a familiar and safe environment with a person who is trustworthy and willing keep your pet company at your own home. I mainly do this on the side, I have a full-time job and a family. I also work from home. My children are 14 and 10 and occasionally like to help, however, I know that is not ideal for every House Sitting situation. These are all topics we can talk about in our first meet and greet at your house. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you might have. Due to today’s world and the nature of the situation, a meet and greet prior to the dates needed is 100% required for me. I would prefer an environment where I feel safe and comfortable in your home.. I’m a very open and easy going person and I know how difficult it can be to find proper pet care when we need it the most!

“Camryn was very communicative and really went the extra mile as we have a new puppy who needed a lot of extra care and attention alongside our grown dog. Looking forward to leveraging her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 families in my neighborhood as well as walked them for 3 of the families. I love getting to know them and care for them. I am currently working part time at Monelli’s as a hostess, as well as preparing to be a full time student at Western Michigan University in the fall. Pet care will be a side hustle to fit in where I can so I have something fun to do between classes. As I settle into routine, I may be open to house sitting on the weekends. I have many pet sitting experiences and I am quick an active person, so I love to go on walks with the fur babies. Currently, pet sitting would be at a client’s house because I live with my parents and will be moving into a dorm in the fall.

About: Hi, I'm Lena! As a lifelong animal lover, I know that your pets are family. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're at work or away, ensuring your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and affection they deserve. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, punctual, and highly attentive to each dog's unique personality and energy level. I do also have my own dog named Luna! In my free time, I run a small business, Pawsome Creations - MI Made, handmaking pet bandanas and accessories! I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My routine easily fits pet care around my workday. I am available during my 12:00–1:00 PM lunch break for quick walks or drop-ins, and I am fully open after 4:30 PM for evening care. My weekends are completely free for full-time dog boarding and daycare. I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where guest pets are treated just like family. My home is a pet-friendly space with a reliable routine for regular feedings, backyard potty breaks, and cozy rest periods. I offer crating if needed for safety or comfort, prioritize clear communication, and ensure every pet feels completely secure and right at home.

About: I ’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life—whether inside the house or playing outside, I’ve always had a pup by my side. From small breeds with big personalities to large, energetic dogs who love to run and play, I’m comfortable caring for all types. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet helper for friends and family, often stopping by to walk their dogs, feed them, and make sure they get the love and attention they need. Because of that, I know every dog has their own personality and needs—some are full of energy and love long walks, while others prefer snuggles and quiet time. No matter what your pup loves most, I’ll treat them like part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a 23-year-old photographer who’s currently traveling with my fiancé for his work. Because I don’t have a 9–5 schedule, I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your pup attention, walks, and playtime. I love being active, so daily walks (and even extra adventures if your pup enjoys them!) are part of my routine. I live in a first-story apartment with easy access to the outdoors—perfect for quick potty breaks and long strolls. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, my neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, and my apartment complex has a safe dog park for extra playtime. Safety is always my top priority: I’ll keep your dog on-leash during walks, supervise outdoor play, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Your pup will always get the love and attention they deserve, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, and now work my full time job with animals every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and rodents! My senior dog has Stage 3 kidney disease and we provide daily care for him, including oral and injectable meds, and special diets. I am comfortable doing this with other animals :) I work a full time job during the week, hours 7 am - 3:30 pm. Am looking for supplemental income by providing pet care to those in need. I am available after 4:30 pm during the week, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard for my for dog, and a crate available if needed. I would prefer caring for your pets at your home but am willing to bring them to my home if they are dog and cat friendly. I have a senior dog who has some trouble getting around so we have ramps, but he prefers dogs that are smaller than he is, about 55 lbs. My pets are treated like kings and queens in our home and I would provide the same care for your fur babies!

“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: We have a good sized house which we share with our sweet rescue dog, Penelope, 2 kittens, Lilo and Stitch and our almost 2 year old daughter. I offer dog walking, sitting, overnight, part day hang outs and even training! We live near several parks that are dog friendly which we frequent regularly. I've always lived with dogs but began training the family and neighbor's dogs around the age of 10. I want to make note that I understand it is a big responsibility to care for someone else's fur child and that I take it very seriously. If you have any questions, please feel free to text, or email me anytime. I am home each day with my young daughter who is great with animals but in case you prefer she stay separate, we have gates and even a heated barn if full separation is needed. Our old girl has free rein of the house, even our kitties get outside every once in a while but we have the ability to set up a small fenced in area or a zip line style tether, and of course walks as needed. We love to snuggle all furry friends but also know some prefer their space.

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and I can appreciate every breed. They all deserve love and compassion, and I've recently made room for cats, as well. Pets are family members, so I don't mind lending a hand for family! I have two jobs, but I am hoping to make this a replacement second job. My day job, I get out at 3pm and I have the rest of the day to help out. Of course, I have my own dog, so I'd like to stop home and care for her first before helping out where I'm needed, but other than that, I have a pretty open schedule, especially on the weekends! I will always opt for going to a client's home because I rent my place of living and am limited in bringing around other pets. I will follow any instructions given to me by my clients, and am very good at sending updates!!

We loved having Marisa watch our 2 dogs! She went out of the way to make sure one of our dogs with anxiety would eat or have fun! She was on top of her report card with great notes about how they were doing while we were away. I will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Schoolcraft

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Schoolcraft is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 538 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Schoolcraft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 Schoolcraft. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
