About: I am a former full time dog daddy, transitioning into an empty home but I’m ready to pamper your pup just as I did mine! I have experience with basic command training for pups and young dogs, walking, and just plain old sitting. I work full time but I am remote 3 days a week and would love to have some company on those days and weekends! I am also extremely flexible. I am newly without a dog and looking to pamper your pup with treats, attention, and playtime at any moment! I am open to being in whatever environment your dog feels safe (whether they are trusting and open to coming to my place or would prefer an in-home sitter)

About: I'm new to professional pet sitting, but caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I bring calm energy that animals warm up to quickly. I have a part time position at petco. I've enjoyed my work with clients thusfar and would prefer to take on more clients as a full time option. I might not be the best to describe this but i am a pushover and believe all the fluff balls deserve to be cuddled up.

About: I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs! I have been caring for and house sitting dogs of all breeds since I was 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs making sure to adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and exercise. I am highly attentive, reliable, and committed to satisfying both the pet’s and owner’s needs. I am currently a student; however, I have a very flexible schedule, and can tailor my schedule towards the needs of my clients. I can work weekends. I am a focused and hard worker and will make sure your pet is cared for to the best of my ability. I love all animals and want to make sure that their needs are met through exercise, love, and care.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, and favorite ways to have fun! I raised my own dog from a puppy through 5 ½ years old, so I have firsthand experience with everything from energetic puppy days and changing routines to the day-to-day care that keeps a dog happy, comfortable, and thriving. I’ve also cared for a variety of dogs through pet sitting, including households with multiple dogs at once and pups of different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable following each dog’s established routine and detailed care instructions, including specialized feeding routines such as raw feeding. I’m naturally very affectionate, playful, and hands-on with dogs, so you can expect plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for them to have such a good time that it feels a little like they got their own sleepover with a new friend! My schedule varies week to week and I am flexible depending on the week and proximity to my day job. Reach out with your needs and let’s chat! I treat every pup I care for like they are my very own! I recognize that trusting me with your animal is no small thing and take your trust very seriously. I know animals all have their unique quirks and personalities and find getting to know them one of the best parts of this job!

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.

About: I’ve always been the person animals gravitate toward. I grew up with cats and later had two Italian Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable with both small pets and big, strong personalities. I almost became a vet at one point, but after shadowing, I realized my heart just couldn’t handle that side of things. What I do love is creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for animals to just be. In my day-to-day life, I run my own business and come from a background in events and marketing, so I’m naturally very detail-oriented and respectful of your space. I’m also a competitive figure skater, which means I’m disciplined, reliable, and consistent especially when it comes to routines and care. I keep a flexible, self-managed schedule, which allows me to be very intentional with the time and care I give to each home and pet. I’m able to adapt to your pet's routine and make sure visits feel consistent, calm, and reliable while you’re away. I approach pet care in a really intentional, calm way. I let animals set the tone and focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to your home. I follow routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is locked up and secure. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a space that feels just as you left it.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Alongside providing loving day-to-day care, I’ve also fostered senior dogs and supported animals with health conditions such as diabetes and Cushing’s disease, giving them the patience, attention, and gentle care they deserve. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I currently work a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I help care for the pets at my house but there are three other people able to help. Just chat about your plans are we can make it work! I have 3 dogs of my own. And they are the babies of the house! We take them for regular walks, to the dog park and out in the yard. Two of them are seniors with arthritis so massages are included every evening after dinner.

“Aurora went above an beyond! She was super attentive and responsive. She also gave us excellent updates so I felt super secure while I was out of town. I'm pretty sure my pets are disappointed that she won't be visiting them everyday anymore after my trip. For my next trip I would definitely like to book with her again to look over my fur babies!”

About: My experience comes from years (starting "professionally" at 13- 22 years ago!) of caring for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I've fostered dogs, cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-pet home and has long provided pet sitting, I know how to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I’ve always had pets and come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses. Ive also pet sat starting at around age 10 and some of these jobs included birds, donkeys, and fish. I’d be thrilled with even the smallest job, no matter how last minute! I have a very flexible schedule working remotely. I can likely make anything work! I am open to any day or days of the week. My pets were always allowed free rein of our house, but i will obviously respect any boundaries in your home! Any specific instructions will be followed.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs my entire life (32 years). Growing up we had 3-4 dogs at a time as well as small critters. As an adult I have had 5 dogs, 8 cats, I've rehabilitated birds, raccoons, and squirrels. Currently I own a 2 month old Pomchi, a 2 year old Chorkie, and a cat. I would love to do this full time. I have the most open availability nights and weekends, but if I have enough notice I can use my days up as well. I have plenty of time to stop in and play with, love on, and take care of your pets. I supply lots of kisses if they are in need, too! My dogs and cat sleep in bed with me, lounge on the couch with me, and go on trips with me. Animals have always been a passion of mine and they are truly what make me happiest in my life. At your home I can provide fun and carefree time or more structured time with your pets. I definitely abide by your house, your rules. I can provide walks, feedings, play time, scheduled medicines, and cuddle time.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Lyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Lyon is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 October 2026, there are 3,884 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Lyon. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Lyon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in South Lyon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Lyon. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
